Philadelphia jVov. 101878. ;
Tlio undersigned, at an informal.inceting
on tho question of tho management of the
coal trade for the year 1870, mako tho fol
lowing minute of their conference, 1
Jlcssrs. Dickson and Gowcn, stilted that
they wero informed that tho Lehigh Vulley
Coal Company and others wero not repre
sented at the meeting nt which tho other
gentlemen were appointed delegates, which
statement Jlcssrs. Swoyer, Robinson and
Dodson, admitted to bq correct. .
Jlcssrs. Dickson and- Goweu then stated
that they did not think it would bo propor
to engage in any discussion of tho question
of tho management of tho trado for tho
year 1809 unless tho Lehigh .Volley Coal
Company, as well os all other--interests, ar
represented. Messrs. Dickson, and Goweu
further state that on behalf of nil other in
terests (and pending negotiations for noxt
year) they aro willing to oirer and do offer
to Jlcssrs. Swoyer, Robinson nnd Dodsori
to continue tho present arrangement until
April 1, instead of January 1, 1879, or to
such intermediate dale as may bo necessary
to obtain full information nnd authority to
act, and in the meantime they will bo will,
ingatan'y future daytomeet ami confer with
Messrs Swoyer, Robinson and Dodson
whenever tho latter havo full authority to
submit any proposition for next year, it be
ing understood that when any arrangement
for next year is made it shall dato from Jan

The conference met in the Reading Rail
road office nt leu A. M.,nnd at the close tho
Board vl Control mot as per iollowing re
port! At a mcetingoflho Board of Conlrol,hcld,
at tho office of tho Reading Railroad Com
pany, at eleven o'clock, all interests wero
represented nnd it was unanimously agreed
to mako tho entire quota for the year 17,000
000 tons, allowing tho several interests to
ship their, quota in. .each times of November
anil leceinbcr us may best suit their partic
ular requirmcnts. The meeting ajourncd to
hold its next meeting in New York.
Although the November allotment of coal
was completed 601110 days ago work has con
tinued, as a general thiiif, without'iutcrmis
siontlie idea being that if there was no in
crease of the November quota tho excess
should be credited to December. The 2,000,-000-tons
increase for tho year will result,
probably, in a steady coutinuaiico of work
at the mines for tho remainder of this month;
then there will bo a temporary suspension)
after which the year will conclude with
much activity in the mining districts.
ALLOTMENTS FOR .NOVEMBER AND DECEMREB.
The amount of coal to bo shipped by tho
different interests for Ihe months of Novem
ber and December Is as follows: By the
Philadelphia nnd Reading. Railroad Cam
pany, 832,587 tons; Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company, &S9,590 tons; Central of Now Jer
sey, 433,837 tons; Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad Company, 442,009
tons ; Delaware and Hudson Railroad Com
pany, 493,042 tons; Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, 208,074 tons ; Pennsylvania Coal
Company, 223,041 tons. Total 3,223,989
