The Hrrnnton Strike nod the Cemimny The 43enral Mtrlke-The Online of the Trade The Toimoae of the Trade Tar the Week Unatntlona, Klo. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Com pany are trying to make a rising market In New York by stating that they have no anthracite coal on hand in New York, and that the supply In Elizabcthport Is very small. They say that there will be no more auction sales of coal until the Scranton strike is over. This miy all be very true, but it BboulU also be taken Into ac count that the strike can and probably will be ended just as soon as the company wishes it to be. It is probably not to the company's interest to continue business with the present state of the market. As soon as, in the opinion of the company's ofliccrs. the prices are sultlciently nigh, a compromise will be offered to the mon, who will in all probability readily accept it, and work will then be resumed. The general strike ordered by the General Council of the W. 1$. A., to take place this month, is not likely to be as- general as was ex pected. , , , . AtHhamokin the collieries are working Inde pendently of the W. 11. A. andj are not likely to frtiHi'end. In the Schuylkill region one or two collieries are also working Independently, and in the opinion of the Miners' Journal, should tho strike continue beyond the 1st of February, large number of miners would go to work withoutrcgard to the W. B. A. The men of Schuylkill, who generally do not approve of the proposed strike, are not In as good a condition to stand it as are the men of the upper counties. The long stand-still of last summer used upmost of their spare funds, while the men of Luzerne have been working all tho year at good wages A short suspension is of no great importance to the latter Just now, and tbey would rather have it than not, without regard to the question of wages. ' The trade in Schuylkill has not been as good as it was supposed it would bo previous to the ordered general suspension. The shipments from this port are over, and the demand is only from the city and line. Besides this tho supply is enlliciont at most points for two months at least, unless the weather should be unusually cold. In the Lehigh region the proposed strike is popular, and it is probable that it will there be general. The following is the summary of the trade for the past week s far as received, as reported for the Pottsville Miners' Journal of to-day: ; INC. A DKO. WEEK. TOT Alt. WEKK. TOTAL. Anthrarile. P. . R.

The effect of tho proposed strike on the trade in this city has been to steady it somewhat. No shipments have been made during the week from Port Richmond. Tho price in New York will not allow the loading of vessels here for that port on account of the high freights asked.

The Wlrieola ef ftprlaa Uardea Street Be twten Nlateenth and Eighteenth Street The Ordinance of (Jonnrll Heine Carried Out. Spring Garden street promises to be one ot the most charming thoroughfares In Philadel phia. Though Councils last year, after a pro tracted discussion, failed to take any decided action in the matter of opening this highway to the Delaware by cutting through the solid mass of buildings which Intervene on Its line frem Sixth to Front streets, we have "the hope set before us." and by no less a personage than 8e-. lectman King, of tho Eleventh ward, that soon be will revive the project. But to-day we are realizing the pleasure of an improvement which was a long time incubating. Spring Garden street is being widened between Sixteenth and Eighteenth streets. The buildings that pro jected into it are being demolished, properties extending over the line are being cut through, nnd by this means the thoroughfare is being beautified. Councils, on the 10th of May, 1800, ordered this street to be widened according to the confirmed plan of the city, which required 44 feet 5 Inches to be taken off the property on the south side and 25 feet 7 inches off that on the north. On the 27lh of October, 1807, in tho Court of Quarter Sessions, on a petition of Richard Norris, whose property projected over the line, a jury was appointed to assess damages, and its award was as follows: Matthews fc Moore, $32,500: Thomas Potter, $30,000; Rich ard Norris, $40,500; making a total of $93,000. Of these damages there was assessed npon the adjoining properties, as benefits arising from tbe opening of the street, the sum of $18,238 03, and there was placed upon the city the sum of $74,70137. There were a num ber of exceptions to this report of the jury, and a long siege at law ensued from the Quarter Sessions to tbe Supreme Court; but on the 19th of January. 1870, it was confirmed. On this re port Thomas Potter and Richard Norris brought suits against the city for the damages awarded them. Mr. Norris obtained a judgment in his favor, but as the District Court had refused to allow him interest from the date of the filing of the report, and only from the confirmation, he has taken his case to tho Supreme Court, and it will be argued this month. Now when the jury rendered Its report and the same was confirmed, City Solicitor Worrall notified Chief Commissioner of Highways Mahlon II. Dickinson that the. street ought to be widened. But do action was taken. To stir the authorities tip, in last October the trustees under the marriage settlement of Mary Ann Hamilton (against whoso lots on Spring Garden street part of the damages had been levied aud collected) filed their petition in the Court of Common Pleas, praying for a writ of manda mil s to compel the Chief Commissioner of Highways to open thC6treet between Sixteenth and Eighteenth. Upon this ensued a long and tedious argument, which ended by tho Court issuing the peremptory writ as applied for. Even then tho work did not commence until last week; but now the demolition is carried on quite briskly. Two gentlemen are still determined to contest the invasion of the public into their property,' for tbe City Solicitor, in a noto to tho chairman of the Finance Committee, said: - -? "I may state that I am informed that Messrs. Matthews & Moore will resist this, and when the property in front of their works is entered upon will apply for an injunction to restrain. This will rait-e the question again." But no matter what may subsequently bo done, it is pleasant cow to know that, after three years and a half, the order of Councils is being, in the spirit and tho letter, carried out. Opening of the Southwestern Market. The wants of the large number of residents along Chcsnut and Market streets, and those streets running north and south between Six teenth and Twentieth Btreets, have at last been supplied in the shape of a market house, which has been erected on the southeast corner of Nineteenth and Market streets. This building was thrown open this morning, and of tbe 184 stalls which had been constructed 100, were oc cupied by butchers and dealers in fruits and vegetables. The attendance of purchasers was, indeed, very large, and the rush was so great as to convince tho renters of the great necessity of the institution. The building runs from Market to Barker streets, and is 70 by 170 feet. There are four passage ways leading from Market to Barker streets, on either side of which are tho stalls, which are of the most commodious character. The ventilation is of the most Improved kind. Under tho entire structure there is a large cel lar, which is divided into apartments for the accommodation of the stall renters. In addi tion there are several apartments fronting on Nineteenth street, which are ready for tho occu pancy of wholesale dealers. Underground drainage is snpplled, the refuse matter running into the Filbert street sewer. Tho pavement of both market and cellar is of aspbalte. The officers of the market company are P. A. B. Wideuer, President, R. Wallace, Secretarj , and N. B. Lowry, Treasurer. Larceny of Cloth. Last evening, at 6J o'clock, a man went into the store of Mr. Got lieb Yetter, tailor, on Third street, above Brown, and asked to bo shown some goods, which he said be desired to purchase. During the nego tiations another man entered the place and the two opened a conversation with Mr. Yetter, during which one of them, watching his chance, seized a bundle of vest patterns anr made off with them. Mr. Yetter seized the other and placed him in the custody of a police otlicer. Ho was taken before Alderman Toland, to whom he gave the name of Joseph Myers. Joseph was held in $1000 ball for a further hearing. Boat Presentation. The beautiful shell- boat eo much admired ut the Sanitary German Fair, having been wen. by George Frederick Knne.
