The Coal Trade.
The anthracite coal trade the past
week has been very light. Tim entire
shipments for the week ore put down at
75,800 tons, and for the year at 002,
080 tons, against 040,480 tons to corres
ponding time last year, showing a de
crease of 43,728 tons. The bituminous
coal tonnage for the week was 33,757
tons, and for tho year 58,450 tons, mak
ing a total of all kinds for the week of
114,554 tons, and for the year 001,100
Ions, against 1,015,403 tons, a decrease
for tho coat year ot 54,237 tons. As
our tabulated returns of the tonnago of
each of the great carrying companies
show, the business In all tho coal re
gions Is exceedingly slack, for the
double reason that the supply of coal
at tho great depots Is pretty full and
that there Is a general suspension of
work at the inlnas, In consequence ot'
differences between operators aud work
lug men as to wages. Should there
spring up a demand for coal this lock
In the trade would probably soon be
overcome. IndeexLMt Is now reported,
we know not with 'what truth, that ono
of tho Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany's mines Is being worked at reduc
ed wages. There are reports of like
Import from the Shamokln region, from
whence all the coal rained goes West.
Tho Wyoming region, It Is Intimated,
means to mine coal, and If It should to
any considerable extent, Lehigh and
Schuylkill regions will not long remiln
Idle. The retail coal trade lu this city
continues unusually active under the
recently reduced prices. At Port
Richmond for the week ending the 23d
Instant the receipts of coal wero none
and the shipments 2500 tons, leaving
120,000 tous on hand. Shipments of
coal are so much reduced that we pres
ent no rreigm rates, ttii ice lu the Dela
ware having pretty effectually stopped
oil uavlgatluii. We are without our
usual weekly report of tonuage by the
