Commenting upon this subject, tho IfJgcr
of last Monday says VTe have no Informa
tion as to the effect of tho combination upon
the Central Railroad of New Jersey, but it is
well kpown that neither Iho Lehigh Volley
nor tho Reading Railrcad Company has
mado as much mopcy In 1878 as it did in
1877. It may, therefore, bo assumed that
whilst all tho companies in 1879 would do
much better with a combi nation than without
one, yet without one tlio Reading Railroad
Company and tho Lcbigji Yl",?X mav u0
expected to cam qnilp. ;.a much if not inorp
tha,n t(iey did (rj 187.8. Indeed, tho wonder
ful facility of tho Reading Railroad Com
pany to move largo coal tonnages will un
doubtedly enablo it to mako up in increased
business all that It may loso In Iho fall of
prices. Tho managers of tlio Reading Rail
road Company claim that it takes 300,000
tons of coal per month to meet tho working
cxjienscs and rentals of a full month's busi
ness, nnd that all tho gross receipts from
coal over 300,000 tons per month aro not
profits. It is well known that witli a little
over 300,000 Ions of coal traffic in September
the Reading Railroad Company and its ad
junct, the Coal and Iron Company, actually
lost money, whllo wit!) SQOifo tons in No
vember the two companies made in net
profitsovcrj'OSO.OOO. Acting.thereforcupon
tho belief that with no combination it is
wise to get all tho trade possible, wo under
stand tint the Reading Railroad Company
has alrcqdy iqado an arrangepieflt witl) tho
North Feniisylvania,Bound Brook and New
Jci sey Central Railroads by which its coal
trains will run to New York during tho
winter and we aro informed that tho Read
ing Coal and Iron Company contemplates
keeping its collieries at work during tho
month of January, and expects to do a larger
business in that month than ithasoverdono
before. It is certain that there is not much
coal in the market, and that at a low prico
purchasers will bo foiind forp liirgp tmount.
It .vouhl hp better for all to agree and lo
roap tho benefit of the demand, but if they
cannot agree tlio next best thing to do is for
each to try to get tho best prico it can for its.
productsind it is hoped that no advocate of
n combination will attempt to force an un
willing company into combination by need
lessly putting down prices hi order lo make
the business unprofitable. Vithout com
bination tho market in 18TU may take fully
as much us it did in 1S73, viz., 21,000,000
toijs, and w)(io itisassorlpil Unit lotl0 ship
lwrs pf tjjo Lehigh Valley region under a
combination their sharo of increased profits
would bo at least $4,000,000 more thai) they
will get without one,it nevertheless remain:,
of which it is well to remind ono or two of
tho New York companies, that if tho Lehigh
Volley Company prefers lo havo no combi
nation it is very unwiso to redttco tlio prico
of coal unnecessarily in order to forco it into
ono. With a tonnago of 21,000,000 in 1870
all the companies should earn their fixed
interest charges if each attends toils own
atl'airs apt) honestly ftrives to get jjio best
prico it can for coal, but dividends ujion
sharps it js scarcely probablo can, bp earned
by any company next year without a' coin
birjatipi). Wc glean thefollowingadditional particu
lars in regard to tho coal trade, from tho
ZeJger of tho 1st inst : Tiio Anthracite Coal
Combination expired by limitation last night,
and in anticipation of that fact, both tlio
Schuylkill and Lehigh operators havo held
meetings, with tho view pf considering a
policy to bo observed by tlienj in tho future.
Tlio first point for consideration sepms to bo
that of tho reduction of transportation
charges. It was reported on tjo 6trect,tliough
