This gives a mean temperature for the month of
70-60 degrees, while the average ol the mean tem
peratures of the corresponding month for the eighty
previous years was but 60-21 degrees, or 4-29 degrees
loss. The mean temperature of the month Just
closed, and the highest and lowest points attained
during the month, show the following comparison
with the temperature of the month of September la
every year since lb61 :

from these figures it will be seen that, with the
exception of beptember, 1865, when the highest
mean temperature In 80 years was attained, the
month jiibt closed was the warmest September
during the past twenty years, yet the highest point
attained, 86 decrees, had been equalled or excelled
thirteen times during that period.
The quantity of rain which fell during the month
was but 1-71 inches. In September, 169, it was 3-25
Inches; in 1S68, 8-90 inches: and in 1967, 1-72 inches.
In the region in which the Schuylkill takes its rise,
however, there has recently been a heavy rain fall,
and the river shows a considerable rise at the dam
at Fairmouut. The water authorities, however, do
not apprehend at present any danger of a freshet,
fears of which have bzea expressed in some
quarters.

THE COAL TRADE.
The Prrnntaa Nnle-The Production nnd the

Bifoti) Quotation. Me.
The regular monthly sale of 8cranton coal took
place on Wednesday Id New York.the figures of
which have alteady been published. The attendance
was large, but there was a decline In prices. The
principal buyers were the city dealers, though con
siderable was bought by manufacturing and steam
boat companies. The following Is the statement of
the sale in detail from Sa ward's circular:
"Lump coal opened qnlto lively, and pissed OIT

for 14.
'Steamboat coal opened with thesaieof boo ton? at

larger portion went at (4 10.
''Grate coal sold well, opening with sales at 14-60,
was run up to 4fi2, receded to 14-60, and closed
with the aale of 2500 tons at 4 47.
"Kgg opened at f4-io,sold-ln large quantities at that
rate, fell off to 14-80, rallied to 4-2)rf, and closed
with sales of 1440 tons at S4 80.

rate, with 2oo tons at f6-42,tf, and 1S50 tons at 15-81 V
closed at 5 40. This size went in a few moments,
being taken in large lots by wholesale dealers.

The following table gives the rates of the Sa'.e fti
comrjared with the average of the sales of Aothhc
of this year, and of September of the previous year:

The average decline is isvc. on lump. 30c. on
steamer, 8c on broken, 29c on egg, 7 1 -9c. on stove,
and 8J4C. on chesnut. This decll&e, though expected
by many parties, as an Index of the general market
is discouraging to the Schuylkill men who have
agreed to be governed by and receive wages accord
ing to rul'ng rates,
The production generally does not keen no with
the rate ol increase over last year with which the
season started out. This is especially noticeable in
the northern part of the State. It is to be attributed
in part to local differences and suspensions in some
private collieries, in part to tne enforcement or the
ventilation bill, which limits the number of hands in
seme mines, aaa in part to tne snort supply or water
iKith for use in the boilers of the. engines at the
works, and for purposes of navigation. The Dela
ware and Hudson Canal, one of the supplies of New
iork and vicinity from tne scranton region, was re
ported last week as reduced to half its tonnage on
account of the drought. Since that time it has been
compelled to suspend navigation entirely, no boats
being able to get through. This Is the drat suspen
sion since iNr4, ana it nas inrown out or employ
ment about 80i hi men. But perhaps the rains of the
latter part of this week in that region have lilted np
tne cnanuoi, aim navigation may now nave Deen re
sumed. The Read ine Railroad Comnanv Issued the following
circular on Monday in relation to a new drawback.
it snows at leasi some disposition to conform with
the requirements of the trade:

paid a drawback on anblirnoite ooal xhipped from Port
hiubmond to points south of Cape Henry, east of Now
Brunswick, and along the line of the Delaware and Rari
tan Canal, as follows:
On lump, steamboat, and broken sizes HO cents.
On chesnut 40 "
On egg and stove. 30 "
Fbanklim B. Gowem, President.
This Is equivalent to a reduction of twenty cents
per ton In tolls on the first three sizes, and an ad
vance of twenty cents on the last two.
The committees of the W. li. A. and of the An
thracite Board of Trade met In Potts ville on Monday
for the purpose of fixing the rate of wages for Sep
tember, according to the agreement. On Tuesday
they published the following order:
Pottsvilli, Pa., Sept. 27. The Oommittee on the part
of tbe Board of Trade, anil the Workingmens Benevo
lent Association, having met for tbe purpose of averaging
tbe prices of coal, nnd from tbe aworn statements pre
sented, that tbe averace priee is $3'44 1 6, and tbut there
fore the wages sball be reduced on basis liiitf percent.
As this rate is lower than the lowered rate of last
month, of course it will give universal dissatisfac
tion to the workmen. On thid subject the working
men's organ advises the men, and urges them to
stick to their agreement, though the operators are
denounced as cheats and dishonorable men. This
shows very perceptibly how sorely the agreement
works for them when below the three dollars, and
how little the decline was expected. These harm
less remarks were called forth by the decline of last
month. What the still lower rates of this month
will produce Is not yet, at this time, known.
The market at this port has been much the same.
The local department is active, as also tho line
trade, but the shipments from Port Richmond are
not so good. Freights by coastwise vessels have
advanced, there being but few colliers at the port.
At Mauch Chunk during the week 118,371-05 tons
were shipped by all routes, against 117,951 tons the
previous week and 7S.350 19 tons for the correspond
ing week of 1S70.
The following are the prices of coal by the cargo
at Port Richmond for shipments east of Bordentown
and south of Cape Henry to other points rates are 40
cents per ton higher than the quotations :

The Mortality or the city. The number of
deaths In the city for the week ending at noon to
day was 270, being a Increase of 14 over those of
last week, and an Increase of 78 over the correspond
ing period of last year. Of these, 119 were adults: 161
were minors; 198 were born in the United States; 67
were foreign; 14 were people of color; and 10 were
from the country. Of this number, 30 died of consump

On W fAMeday last a man who, by his personal
beartnc Ma exterior appearances belonged to the
respect JAB walks of life, called at tho office of
Messra. ndlnnlng, Davis A Co., bankers and hro
kers, at No. 48 South Third street, and, representing
himnelf as Mr. James Held, of the firm of Young,
Smjth, Field & Co., who do a heavy "notlona" busi
ness at No. 429 Market street, and No. 413 Corn
raeire street, la this city, requested
the flrm to prepare to receive deposit of Ijo.ooo, J
which, he .-tf.'; utd. be transferred in a few divs 1
by telt graph from New York to his account. The
amount was not then, he stated, In a banker's hands,
but would soon be deposited by Messrs, Wllaaer
dings, lloguet A Oo.,of No. !? Daaiie street, New
York, with Mepsrs. ulendlnning, Davis Amory,
the New York branch of the Philadelphia
hoiife, and as soon as that wis
done it could, of . course, be transferred
by a despatch to hl8 account In Philadelphia,
Scarcely had the stranger left than Mr. Olendlnnlng
prudent ly Instituted Inquiries about the matter, and
by personal investigation discovered, not a little to
his surpil&e, that the Mr. Field who had called upon
him, if he were a Mr. Field at all, was certainly not
the Mr. Held of the firm of Young, Stiryth, Field h.
(Jo. Le lost no time in advising his New York.
prrtriOrsof the fact, as he shrewdly suspected that
Z'vu.c swindle or another Was In a state Of gestation.
on inursaay tnere were no developments In the
case, but yesterday another atop was taken by the
wouii-De swindlers, rrobabiy learning or the par
tial suspension of business in New iork city on
account of the Farragut obsequies, the rogues
thought they would have a better chance of leading
their scheme to a happy consummation at a time
when business men would be to a certain extent oif
their go-ard. At any rate, during the course of the
iay a man, SKiuuny got np in tne uisgmse or a col
lector, and properly furnished with a reoelot-biok
and a formidable-looking bundle of papers, called
upon Messrs. liicnmnmng, uavis Amory, in New
York, and presented at the desk of the receiving
teller a check for 120,010 60, to be placed to the cre
dit of Mr. James Field, of Philadelphia, This was
of course about 10,ooo short of tho amount stated
by the gentlemanly Philadelphia stranger as the
probable value of the credit about to be paid in to
his account In New York, Possibly the swindlers
concluded that they could more surely getaway with
the smaller sum.
Only one of the partners of the nouse, Mr. Amory,
was present when the check was presented, and he
at once remembered the advice recently received
from Philadelphia, but was unable to lay his hand
npon the letter. He .therefore simply scrutinized
the check very closely. He noticed that It purported
to be signed by Messrs. WUmcrdlngs, Hoguet A Co.,
and was payable by the Tenth National Bank of New
York. He also noticed that the word "and" was
omitted in the writing of the check, so that it read
only "twenty thousand, ten dollars." lie asked the
supposed collector if he had authority to Insert the
mlbsing conjunction. The man said he had, and did
so. A receipt waa made out, handed to him, and he
forthwith left the ofllce.
Mr. Amory.however, had his suspicions that some
thing was wrong, and at once sent the check to
the bank to have it certified. The paying teller
glanced at the check, and observing that the till
ing up was not in the usual handwriting of Wilmer
dliig, Hoguet & Co.'sllrm, and that there was also
a discrepancy In the rotation of the numbers
at tbe head of the check with those they
had most recently paid, examined the signature
with unusual attention. The dlil'erence In the
numbering was a considerable one, this doubtful
check bearing a number 99, while the last of which
there was any record in the books was numbered
60. After a little hesitation and the most rigid
scrutiny of the check, however, the teller
satisfied himself that It wa3 genuine, but,
to make assurance doubly sure, consulted
the cashier. The latter agreed with him as
to the genuine character of the signature, after con
sulting the recordbd signatures of the tlrm upon the
books of the bank, and the check was sent back to
Messrs. Olendlnnlng's duly certllled. Mr. Amory,
however, was still unsatisfied, and though, the
check being now certllled, the loss of the amount
should the signature prove a forgery would be
thrown upon the bank, he determined to personally
see Messrs. Wllmerdlng, lloguet 6t Co. In reference
to it.
Mr. Amory found the store of the firm closed on
the front side, but at last succeeded in getting in
by the rear estrance. Now comes the strangest
part of the story. Having obtained an interview
with Mr. .Hoguet (whose signature for the firm the
bank had stated to be attached to the check) and
having shown that gentleman the suspected check.he
looked at It carefully and stated the signature to be
genuine. Mr. Amory at this was naturally pretty
well satisfied, but made one more effort In the Interest
of prudence. He asked Hoguet to look carefully at
the signature again. Mr. Hoguet did so and dis
covered the check, which he had pronounced at the
first sight a few moments before to be gennlne, to
be a forgery. The "t" In the forged check was not
written as he wrote It, but In every other respect
the signature was so perfect a ac-nimile of his
handwriting that he could not himself distinguish
the two.
Payment of the credit at Philadelphia was, of
cturee, stopped, and Instructions given to arrest

at about a quarter before ten, the man who on
Wednesday last represented himself as Mr. Field, of
the firm of Young, Smyth, Field & Co., appeared at
the office of Messrs. Qiendennlng, Davis & Co., In
this city, and supposing that his New York confe
derates had worked up their part of the
swindle successfully, requested tbe money. He
was politely shown Into the private office of the es
tablishment, and there introduced to Detectives
Tryon and Lukens, who had been Impatiently
waiting for some time for an opportunity to make
his acquaintance. The man was searched bv the

QT PENN SQUARES AGAIN - THE PUBLIC
BUILDINGS. Let not the citizens of Phila
delphia be alarmed at the bugaboo that is attempted
being raised by more than one of the newspapers of
the city in relation to the desire of any of those
favoring the erection of the new public buildings at
Penn Squares of having said buildings constructed
Immediately in the roadway of Broad and Market
streets. Such an idea Is simply preposterous, and
entertained by scarcely more than one or two Indi
viduals at most. Years ago the Penn Squares were
a circle and commonly called Centre Square. Every
middle-aged citizen can remember, as I do, that the
enclosure was a circular picket fence. In
the centre of which was a small squirting
fountain, which forty or more yean ago
the convenience of the public even ta?n required
should be removed, and tbat both Broad and Market
streets should be unobstructed. Such being the fact
at that time, la It to be supposed that at this time of
day the Intelligent gentlemen composing the com
mission for constructing the necessary public build
ings will entertain for a moment any plan that
would encumber the intersection of these two grand
highways? Such a supposition Is not to be enter
tained for an instant. Just what style of architec
ture the new public buildings shall be, whether
antique or modern, whether they shall be con
structed of white marble or of brown stone, or of
anything else, la entirely the business of the
geBtlemen composing the Commission of
Construction, and the well-known character
of these individuals will warrant the public In safely
leaving the whole matter with them, where ouly it
of course belongs; therefore let not the citizens of
Philadelphia be alarmed that these two finest
thoroughfares will be thus obstructed. Let not the
ancient and honorable order of Masons, to whom the
Fublio Ledger recently appealed so pathetically to
resist the obstruction of the vista of the magnldoent
temple they are constructing, have any effect, as all
Intelligent people must know that such an Idea Is
too ridiculous for consideration, and the animus of
the promulgators of such stuff can only be to bug.

MRNT OF THIS CITY. n. M. DALY'S
freat whisky warerooms are located at No. 222 Sontn
RONT Btreet and No. 139 DOCK Street. The
building, which Is probably the largest of its kind la
the United States, Is live stories high, and runa
through from Front to Dock street, a distance of at
least 215 feet. Whiskies of the rarest and purest
brands are stored on every floor of this huge struc
ture, and the seeker after the genuine article can
there find Bourbon of old date, wheat ditto, and that
champion of all whiskies, the Golden Wedding. It
Is of some Importance to the Honor merchants of this
and other cities to know that Mr. Daly's stock em
braces the productions of the celebrated dis
tilleries belonging to Thomas Moore S. Son,
Joseph S. Finch & Co., and Thomas
Moore. Their whiskies are always made front
the best grains, double copper distilled and put
up in seasoned, heavily-charred, Iron-bound barrels
As agent, therefore, of these well-known Arms, Mr.
Daly justly claims tbat he can supply the trade with
the finest whisky in the market, and In the original
packages as received direct from the mannfaeturera.
This he will vouch for, and this Is a point which de
serves the notice of all purchasers. 9 13tuths26t
