Memorial sorvtccs were held In the
Presbyterian church on Washington's birth
day. The pastor, Rev. Ferrlcr, preached
on the character of our Government from
tho following text t "But Jerusalem, which
is above, is free, which is the mother of us
all." Gal. 4 eh., 26 v. He said out ex
ample should bo Jerusalem rather than
Rome or Athens. Ho eulogized Washing
ton's character and regretted that our present-day
statesmen Were so very different
from htm, and that our worshiping of men,
whose ambition was personal honor, rather
than national glory would bo' our ruin.

The Conl Trade
Tho anthracite coal trade pro;cnts a more
auspicious outlook at the presont time than
nt any timo before tho present year. The
stock of coal has been materially reduced,
and prices havo been decidedly ndyanccd.
What is of even greater importance In this
connection is that the feeling ts fast taking
possession of tho public mind that tho supply
of coal In 1880 will not bo in excess of the
demand; hence, as all the contingencies of
tho trade, strikes, drouths, etc., will be in
favor of higher prices of ooal, an active
trndo from this date forth to the end of tho
year will naturally follow. All this consid
ered in connection with the revival of al
most all kinds of business, which will tend
to mako coal more of a necessity, there Is
evidence, of a widening market for coal
westward, Bteadily covering each year a
larger area of cntiro new territory for the
uso of anthracite. This rovival of business
seems to continue, and In nothing is the fact
moro plainly visible than the market at the
West for hard coal. Notwithstanding tho
present winter has been one of unusual
mildness, nnd tho stocks of coal nearly all
tho time largo and cheap, the turn in prices
is now already upward, and this firmness
is sustained by what seems an unyielding
determination nt the mines and by shippers
of coal not to comn down. Tho oclivo ope
rators in coal at Chicago, in public meeting,
have resolved not to ship coal Into that city
previous to tho 1st of March, nor at less
than the prices already agreed upon ns sat
isfactory. It la further resolved to make no
contracts nt a fixed price for mora than one
month. This resolution in this new and
enlarged market to maintain prices shows a
determination to uphold coal that cannot ho
mistaken ana mat win not tall to assure tno
trado of a better coal year for 1880 than in
any ono year for tho last eovcral years.
Those who sell their coal at present prices,
every Intelligent man in tho trndo is well
assured connot bo supplied later on in tho
year for a like amount of money. Tho In
creased consumption ol antliracito coal was
largo last year, and will bo largely grcattr
this year. It has quite ceased to bo tho lux
urious nud expensive nrtlclo of fuel of a Tew
years ago, its uso having como to bo appre
ciated as a real economy, and partly for tho
lcason Hint it is now lounu an excellent re
turn freight by tho trnnsiortcrs of groin
eastward. Cais Hint hcictoforo returned
empty now go filled with anthracite coal.
Thus will this hard coal luxury bo cheap
ened ns compared witli the dirty soft coal of
tho west, ar.d command its merited preier
enco In cencral uso for domestic purposes.
All the reasoning oi tno reaper in the past
ns to an active aud Improved coal market is
now continued. Tho demand lor tne iron
trado it is already vcrv certain will take all
tho lump ami broken conl that can bo put
into the market, and will take it all, with
out any nleo record as to price. Tho iron
production cannot stop, nnd II tno present
prices of irou will not warrant tho payment
of Hie market prices of coal, iron must bo
further advanced to such prices for coal ns
the coal operators may demand for putting
it in tno market, witnin tue past ten nays
thcro has been n quickened demand for the
domestic sizes of coal, and to tho extent that
the present excess of supply shall bo further
reduced by tho proposed half-time suspen
siou licnco to tho fust of April will its con
sumption ho lurthcr reduced and tho de
mand for it further increased. One thing
is quite sure,undcr the present arrangement,
ui equiiiiini; consumption wun prouueuuu
the end will not he lonsdelavcd.and remu
nerative prices rulo hence to tho end of tho
year lor all sizes. JjCuqcr, Monaay
