The anthracite coal trade is more unset
tled, says the Ledger of last Monday, nnd
inconclusive as to its future than we have
had occasion to notice for n month past.
The supply of coal is large an J tho increase
of production this year lo corresponding
late last year was over four millions of tons
nt tho beginning of the present month of
June, nnd by the first of July it is estimated,
will rench fournnd tlirco-qunrler millions of
tons, and it may bo five millionsof tons. A
natural effect of theso fuels is a depression of
tho coal market. As compared with last
year's prices of coal at this time prices me
moderately lower now than they wcro then,
when n combination of ull tho lead ing carry -
iug companies existed to limit production to
a fixed table of supposed fairly remunerative
piiees. The present largo increase of coal
production uusup)Krtcd by any agreed upon
arrangement as to prices, is beginning to
unsettle the market. That is to say, there
is a growing distrust among the leading pro
ducers of coal.

to Congress being In session. He bad long

In vlow of the developments to-day, tho
prospect or nn early adjournment Is not so

appropriation bills lu the Senate than was an
ticipated a day or two ago. The Dcmocrallo
Senators, however, canio to an understanding
