This may bo partly due to tho lateness of tno coal sea son and naturally lessened production, and partly to reports current both hero and nt New York of efforts making to form another coal'combinatlon for 1878, similar to that in operation two or thrco years ago, for such limiting of production nnd control of prices as will protect alilto producers and carriers of coal without at all rendering prices op pressive to consumers. These rejiorts have been put In circulation several times within tho past year, buthaving mostly leen start- oil by parties in Wall street operating in tho stocks of tin several carrying companies, without tho knowledge, or consent of their officers, havo eventuated in nothing, so that tho trado has generally goho from bad to worse, until now,nt tho end of tho coal year, nearly all the parties engaged in it find themselves sufficiently punished tp consent to listen to tho voico of reason and willing to join in divising somo policy of action for tho future that may stay tho general ruin Hint now seems so imminent. It is proposed that the same six companies that composed tho old combination, with the addition of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Companywhich, now looming up as a coal carrier of about ouo million of tons, shall join in a new com pact A year ago tho Pennsylvania Railroad 'declined to become a party to tho then proposed arrangement But on Saturday "ho president and directors of this company held n meeting with a view of considering tho subject, and President Scott met tho representatives of tho other six companies at New York on Thursday last So that, under tho improved feeling now thought to bo existing, any arrangement agreed uiwn will probably includo seven eomtuuies instead of six. There has ns yet been no general Wiccling of presidents, butenchorall of them has been consulted, and Mr. Gowen, presi dent of the Rending Railroad Company, has prepared tho following pajier ns outlining the general purposo of such an arrangement a? it is supposed ullfwill agree to : vonsi op Anar.r.Mr.sT. That for the regulation and management of tho nnthracito coal trado during the years 1878, 1870 nnd I860, a Board'of Control shall bo established, composed of one representa tive of each of the following companies : 1. The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, . -'. inojiOhlgh alley Railroad Company") 3. The Central Railroad of Xew Jrs.y. 4. Tho Delaware and Hudson Canal Co., 5.

For the years 1878, 187flnndl8S0 tho said Board of Control shall have full power and authority to earn- out nnd onfoi tho provisions of th'o following agreement, viz : J'Vr.sC.

In all cases except where expressly provided otherwise, that comp.iuy of tho above Hoven uiwn whoso line ll... 1 I . 11. t t 1 iu n,iu eiuier totivpa too ureaKer, or wnose no tho coal first reaches in transit, shall lie charged with and become resmnsiblo for such coal, ami each company shall be con sidered in this connection as the owner and responsible for any of the branch orauxiliary ines, whetner oi railroad or canal, which nay be owned, controlled or operated bv it. or which may belong lo its system of rail- ays or canals. Second. That at the commencement of each year the entire production for said year buuii oo assumed at somo iieunito quantity, which (hall bo divided amone tho seven companies in tho propo ions nliovo named, and the yearly qiiota of each company thus ascertained shall be nriln divided into monthly quantities representing tho amount to bo produced by each company and the district represented bj' it, and for which It is resiwnsible. It beini provided that tho total quantity to Ire produced in any month may uo inci-easeu or curtailed i,v tno isoard ol Control according to the demands of tho market, Tail that any increno or diminution in tno nggrcgato monthly production shal oo auueu 10 or taken from tho mon; amounts of tho several companies iu proportion of their respective yonilt nuoti! Third. Tliat each company shall pay weekly to the credit of lio Board of Control, Into such bank or other desultory as may bo designated by said Boanl, tho sum of forty cents for every ton of coal production chargeable against said comiviuv, as a fund out of which all penalties incurred by said iTjiujKiny nau oo jiayanie ; providcu, how ever, that there shall bo jiaid back to each coniuny at the end of any month In which it exists, any accumulations of said fund so paid by it in exesse of wnaltie Inounnd J provided, howover, that the amount always remaining to tho credit of such company Ihroughout each year shall bo not less lhan $15,000 for each one per ceht of the yearly production embraced m tho annual quota of sucn company ; and provided lunncr, that nt tiie end of each year, and after tho final settlement of tho business of such vcar and tho payment of nil penaltt'cs.if nnyjncurrcd, the total sums then remaining to the credit of tho several conipahici 'shall bo repaid to them in cash. All payments out of tho said fund, whether for penaltlcior for repayment of original contributor, shall be made bv cheek drawn hy the order of the Boanl of Control, signed by its treasurer and counter signed bv its president Fourth. Tho business year shall begin with tho 1st of January and close with tho 31st of December iu each year, nnd each company Bhall furnish full weekly ami monthly statements of tonnages with sueli details as shall bo required from time 16 time bv the Board of Control. l':flh. That if at tho end of any month any company shall have exceeded 'its quota for such month,,it shall forthwith pay at the rate of $1 25 jm; ton for each ton of such excess, such payments to be made out of the fund to tho credit of such company, by checks as above provided for account of such company or companies as may have fallen behind their nuota for the said month: and if from any cause tho fund so to tho crejlit of such debtor company shall have been exhausted, tho 'eaid company shall forthwith mako up in 'case tho amount of mo (icnciency. it being, howcvcr,exprcisly provided, that if in consequenco of a refusal to produce, or if on account ofVi strikn or lockout, riot or freshet, any enmpnny or and thus tho tonnago of tho remaining companies or company, as tho ease may be, may bo greatly out of its prcqier proportion of tho aggregate, such company ho exceeding u proportion sunn not bo called upon to pay any penalty duo to any excess of nuota except upon such amount as is in excess of tno actual number ot tons which at the commencement of tho year had been allotted to such company as its monthly tonnago for tho month in which such excess occurs. ijiith. That the entiru tonnage of coal jis aforesaid shjll be divided into two hci'ds, viz., competitive nnu local. That competi tive tonnago shall includo all coal except that to the foreign countries find tho Pacific coast as above named, which reaches tho Hudson river or New York bar, or which passes out of tho Capes of tho Delaware or through tho Delaware ami Rnritan Canal, anil that tho minimum prices for all such competitive tonnago shall lie established monthly by tho Board of Control, beginning in each year with tho month of April and padunlly advancing in price until wlttfcr.it being understood that no decrease of price shall bo matin after flin until tho following April ; provided, how evert that for manufacturers season contracts may bo taken at fixed prices for tho year, to bo established by the Board of Control at tho beginning of each season. For sales of competitive touitngi. no higher commission to be paid to agents than ten cents per ton, but ujioli ill local tonnago each company to have tho right to establish such prices as it pleases, mctemh Tho Board'of Control shall havo no power to order absolute, suspensions of uniting t.eeii. jii uiuuontii oi ueocmwr, uuuuury, reuruary and .March, and then only bo n volo of at least sixty-five ouV of the hundred. If tho above plan is approved it Is recom mended that entire su)ension of mining j"ieu uum ieeemuer n, iB77.to Jaun (iry 12, 1878, Inclusive j from JanuVry 27 to February 1(1, inclusive ; and from Marcli 4 to March 23, inclusive. This proposition is so clear and so explicit, and, so far as wo can detect, so just to nil patties crncenicd, that it seems to us nn agreement ougiit to be readily arrived at on tho bases of tho points presented. It is sup msed that the coal trade of tho present year has at best barely brought in n new dollar for an old dollar, affording profit to no one. This is not desired even by consumers, and cannot bo continued by producers.
