In purchasing q boar it is we'll to

Neither rape nor clover alone will

COAL MARKET STRONGER;
WEATHER RETARDS MINING
Difficulties Between Clothing Manufac-
turefs and Operators Are Virtually
Ended-Business Generally Large

Greater strength has been shown during
the last week in the bituminous coal mar
lSet. according to the review of trade by r.
G.. Dun & Co. The report also asserts that
the demand has continued quite heavy. but
that. owing TO the cold weather Of the first
part of the week, the miners did not work
>for several days in some mines.
Further the review says in part:
"Fairmount gas coal is bringing from
$3.50 10 S4.75 a ton at the mines; Western
Maryland $3.65l to 1886; Somerset, $3.50
to s3.Sb: Georges Creek $425 to $4.75;
Quemahoming, 81 TO $4.25 ton. Some
contracts are being placed, but, owing TO the
uncertainty Of the market. are no\ generally
solicited. In the anthracite mArket the
demand has been heavy and in humber Of
cases coal has been sold at a premium.
"In the lumber trade prices are cons der-
ably higher and q fair volume OF business is
being done. although deliveries north OF
Newport News are considerably handi-
capped by embargoes. -4s-r
THE labor situation has affected the busi-
ness somewhat among the shirt manu-
and boys clothing during the last couple
Of weeks. The clothing manufacturers,
however, have virtually settled their diff
ferences with their Operators and are again

Although dividends continued good, there
was light realizing in home rails. Ameri-

nadans were steady, but Argentine lines
were offered.
Proflt-taking occurred in Courtaullis, an
increase in the dividend TO 171s per cent
not meeting the best hopes. The directors
showever, expect to distribute part of the

Market operations on the Philadelphia
Stock Exchange today represented nothing
more than a shifting OF holdings by few
traders in commission houses and on the
Exchange floor. The trading all through
the week has been smaller than last week.
and the, general disposition today was to
hold off until there is some development
which would make for movement OF any
proportion either way. The siackening

about by the conditions ruling In wall

A NEW OUTBURsT OF SAvAGERY.

The recent peace moves have brought out very
clearly that the coming spring will see the war
in its most terrible spasm, with military opera
tions on an unprecedented scale, actuated by the
essence of intolerable hatred. There has been no
feeling between any two peoples that burned
fercer than that existing between Germany and
Great Britain.
News dispatches indicate that the war is to
settle down to a combat between these two powers
on the seas, where the mistress of the seas will
attempt to starve the Teutons into submission and
the central power will strive to disrupt British
shipping through a wide use of the submarine.
That the struggle is to be in the form Of q
strangulation match is now plain. Great Britain
is preparing to place two guns on the bow OF all
her merchantmen and the Teutonic power is PLAN
ming to torpedo all ships so armed. Both of these
nations can't possibly win the war by a complete
success in their method, but we doubt whether
either will, although of the two, W. think Great
Britain has a better chance to starve Germany
than Of being starved herself.
