Letter from Maucli Chunk.
July 20, 1870.
If tho present pay week as It was
has been romarkablo for anything, It Is
tho noticeable general dulncss pervad
ing every branch of business, and the
worst feature of all Is that the Immedi
ate future does not oncoutogo tlfo hope
of a cliango for tho better, for dlsgulso
it as you may, there really Is no hope
of a spcedj revival of the coal traffic
to anything like Its former proportions.
Eventually this desirable state of affairs
may be reached, but should not bo ex
pected from a revival ot the Iron trade
In tho valley for the reason that our
furnace-men will nover bo able to suc
cessfully coinpeto with Southern or
Western manufacturers for reasons al
most too obvious to need recital. Men
who have studied tho subject know
this, and whenever they hear some
overly hopeful person give his opinion,
they shake their heads, grin, and dive
Into another subject. Although con
Btd'crablo speculation Is indulged In con
cernlng'tlie likelihood of Cahipbell's ob
taining another trial, I think you wilt
bo safe In disabusing the minds of your
readers in that respect, as that individ
ual will most certainly bo sentenced on
the day appointed for tho hearing
(Monday, 24th), as no Court, with any
respect to Its own rulings, could, even
for a moment, entertain tho shallow
reasons assigned by counsel for the de
fense. Candidates are multiplying, and if
tho public Interests should not bo well
cared for during the next few years, It
will be the people's fault, and not tho
candidate's, for tho number of those
anxious to setvo the public, for u con
sideration, promises to bo exceedingly
largo ; but as Monday's Court promises
to be well attended by the geiitis poli
tician, and their turn out in full force
will be likely to give ono a better idea
of their uumber, I'd better delay my
epistlo on tho subject until next week.
In dullness
Yours,
Mnuch Chunk Hems.

Tho anthracite conl trado continues
dull, its Is shown by our tabulated re
port, Is without special feature In nny
of Its departments. Tho suspension of
production every other week for the
months of June and July has not much
quickened business, and it Is a matter
now of consideration witli tho associa
ted companies whether tho policy ot
half time production at thu mines shall
not be continued hence through the
month of August. Tho demonstration
of thu fact that tho leading companies
tiro determined to carry out the policy
of the trado for the last two or three
years, namely, to steadily Increase the
priie ot coal each succeeding mouth as
the end of tho season approaches, lias
dune quite us much, or more, to main
tain tho trade and prices ns has the les
sening of production. Tho supply of
coal nt the centres Is still quite largo,
and will, no doubt, be kept su, but pro
ducers uro determined not to sell coal
ut less than the actual cost of putting it
lu the market. They hold that it Is
quite enough to give thu coal away
without adding to mat gratuity any
part of tho cost of delivery to customers.
Resides. 111 thu absence ot a demand for
fuel hv those meat customers, thu Iron
furnaces, tho pi Ice of coal lias little to
du with the iimo'int ot its resumption.
Whether a.fov cents per ton higher or
lower would not stait a mill nor in
crease tho amount of an order for rails.
Tho country Is not Just ready for an ac
tive revival of business, and 111 tins situ
ation of affairs It Is but prudent 011 tho
pint of coal producers and carriers not
to attempt to foreo trado to their own
detriment and the good of no ono.
Rather let them quit until the demand,
In tho natural course of things, grows
up to the excess of production In the
last two or three years, ao lar as wages
and the cost of living have been re
duced the prices of coal and freightage
should properly come down, bat It will
be found ineffectual of any good end to
attempt to force any particular braneh
of trade in advanco of a general revi
val and of a universal contldenco in the
