One pair of gloves contains forty
skins, the price of which in the rough,
formerly was about a penny. but now
averages eight pence apiece. The fash

CROWDS At CLOSING
NIGHT Of PYTHIAN FAIR

The Pythian Fair was brought TO
close last evening. after a successful run
of three weeks at the Washington Light
Infantry Armcry on Fifteenth Street
northwest. The attendance taxed the
capacity Of the hall and was indicative
of the popularity attained by the Pyth-
ians in their endeayOr TO realize a sum
sufficient TO raise the debt on their
Ninth Street building site. The amount
needed was about IS 900. and this is as
sured from a rough estimate Of the re-
ceipts.
As is customary with fairs Of its kind.
ali goods remaining unsoId during the
former evenings were auctioned on at
the last moment. thus turning every
thing convertible into cash
II was unfortunate that the Pythians
and odd Fellows should have chosen the
same date for their annual fairs. but
through the liberal exercise Of the fra
ternaf spirit and the interchange OF

pated, owing TO the natural increase in
population, or due to the continued pros
perity of the country.
Foreign Coal a Failure.
The consensus of opinion in the tide
water States Is that foreign Goals have
proved failure, and that they will not
be used any longer than is absolutely
necessary. This would seem to preclude

extent in the future
Canadian trade, which was a subject
of inquiry, viii require as much anthra-
cite as at any time in its history. in
one instance. at least. it is reported
that it will require more for the very
good reason that the domestic bitumi-
nous coal mined in eastern Canada will
find a market in the New England States
for steam purposes, owing to the re-
movaI of the duty into the United States,
and the fact that it is easier and cheaper
to transport it to that market by water.
The increased demand for anthracite IN
the Canadian provinces will possibly be
balanced by decreased demand from
far eastern steam users.

Altogether it is not evident from the
reports that there Will be any dropping
of Of the anthracite tonnage required.

and other elements will enter into the

HARD COAL MARKET
MAY OPEN IN JUNE
Reports From Leading Distributors Indicate Early
Activity-Foreign Goals Failure

The outlook in the anthracite trade
has been more or less problematical
ever since the ending of the strike last
fall. Some of the leading factors in
the trade have been in doubt con-
corning the tonnage that would be re-
quired to meet the demands Of the
country and also concerning the ex-
tent to which bftuminous and foreign
.coais, the latter in the Eastern States,
would continue as a domestic fuel BIZ
luminous interests have in some in
stances made some pretty broad claims.
while anthracite interests have main
tanned that the tonnage required would
be fully up TO IL not In excess Of the
normal point. Some quite prominent
authorities have expressed views on
this point antagonistic to each other
To ascertain actual conditions reports
have been received from nearly a hun
dred leading distributors of anthracite
coal in practically every State in
which the Pennsylvania product is sold.
These reports show in a general way
that about 81 per cent of the leading
distributors expect that the demand for
anthracite for domestic consumption
viii commence earlier than a year ago
Dealers who have usually sold the bulk
of their tonnage for winter use in July
and August say they expect it will
move this year in May and June. In
territory where the demand occurs in
September and October. it is expected
that it will occur in August and Sep
TENDER. About 16 per cent say that
the consuming public will make no
change in It's buying program, but will
purchase at the usual time.
An Increased Demand.
AS to the question of increased or de-
creased demaDd the reports make the
most interesting showing About 20 per
cent say that there will be an increased
demand These reports come from large
centers Of population quite generally,
OF from localities like New YORK and
some of the New England States, where
anthracite is regarded as the staple fuel,
and where it is almost entirely used for
domestic purposes. In the larger cities
this is accounted for from the fact that
smoke ordinances, so-called, have been
passed, which prevent the use of bitumi-
nous Goals even for steam purposes. At
