COAL TRADE REVIEW.
Outlook For Business Observed by
Black Diamond.

Chicago, March 1S.-The Black
Diamond, official organ OF the coal in
dustry, reviewing the western coal
trade, tomorrow will say:
with the assurances this week
that strike is no longer probable in
the great central bituminous coalpro-
ducing states, western markets have
shown a tendency downward, the
most pronounced since the first or
the year. Demand for all descrip-
tons of coal is very light, but on
such as show an oversupply the lack
of demand has been accompanied by
declining prices. In some few in
stances where coal is nearly up to
demurrage there has been a reduc-
ton in the selling figures of from
twenty-five to fifty cents a ton within
the past two weeks, and at least half
OF this slump hasroccqrred within the
past week. On the part Of steam
buyers and retail dealers there seems
to be no buying power in the present
condition of the market and low
prices are to be expected till after
the advent of the new mining year
next month.
Price Will Be No Less.
The effect of the wage settlement
on prices is the next step in the de-
velopment of the new years business.
There is a feeling in some quarters
that the larg users of coal will en-
deavor not only to get all the benefit
resulting in the lower mining price,
which at the. most will not be over
five to seven and a half cents a ton,
but will endeavor to secure lower
prices. In some of the territory this
will be possible, but in the western
states operating interests are not
likely to make any concessions fur
ther than a reduction of 5.5 per cent
from the selling price established a
year ago. They occupy strong po-
sition and do not need to give away
all their profits as we'll as the conces-
sions obtained from the miners in
order to hold business. In eastern
business prices can not go lower than
they were in January even though a
concession has been obtained in the
mining price. There is no likelihood
of a further reduction in selling price,
this being as low as it possibly can
be and return profit to the produc-
ers of coal at this time.

cable and was then sent to Manila via
the Suez canal. All the cables laid in
the Philippines since the United States
assumed sovereignty over the archi-
pelago We're Installed by the Burnside.
While still engaged in this work in
the Philippines Captain c. De T.
Chandler, Signal Corps, q. S. A, was
assigned to the vessel as army quar-
termaster and commissary and given
full charge of all cable laying opera
tons. Orders were received last year
to return to the United States and the
vessel proceeded to New York where
cable for Alaska was taken aboard.
The vessel then came around the Horn
to Alaska and laid cable from Juneau
to Sitka, 253 knots in length. Repairs
have also been made to others already
laid. The difficulty OF maintaining ca
bles in Alaska waters is that. the ice
carries them away.
The Burnside will remain in the Phil
ippines about six weeks and wifi then
return to Alaska to be ready to lay
cable in the springtime. About 900
miles Of cable are to be laid.
Nearly 1000 miles of cable were laid
in the Philippines. comprising thirty
five distinct routes.
Captain Chandler is in general
charge of all cable-laying operations.
The cable staff consists of Henry Win
ter cable engineer, a civilian; David
Lynch, cable electrician, a civilian;
Frederick Mumfna, electrical engineer,
a civilian. who viii remain in the Phil
ippines. There are a number of pas
sengers aboard en- route to Manila.
The Burnside carries a crew of Fill
pinos and the cable men are also Fill
pinos. They have been found salts
factory during their service of nearly
three years.
A cargo of zoe tons of oats and 200
tons of hay is being carried to the Phil
