The anthracite coal trade shorfs a reduc
tion last week as compared with corrcstiond'
Ing week last year of (53,000 tons, aud for
the year to the same date of 54,000 tons,
Thcsu reductions nro on an nggre'alo ton-
hago for tho year of 3,351,000 lohs arid nro
the effects mainly of the three days per week
of coal suspension, which will probably be
continued to the 15th of April, giving three
days more of suspension lliari vrii original
ly agreed upon, and vill probably1 further
Increase tho amount of reduction somo hun
dred of thousands of tons yet before a change
to an Increase fully sets In. Tbo trade con
tinues in the same healthy condition that we
have had occasion to remark upon for the
past threo or four weeks. The demarid for
coal Is fairly satisfactory and circular prices
are well maintained, especially for Iho larg
er sizes of coal. Some operators are of opin
ion that full work might bo resumed now
but for tbb excess of supply of the smaller
bizcs of coal. If tlio consumers could bo in
duced to take theso small sizes of coal with
the larger coals the supply and demand for
coal would soon bo adjusted. It is now in
contemplation to bring so'mo such arrange
ment as this nbo'tit. Tho winter is so far
spent as t'o rendcJ it probable that tho de
mand for domestic uses will not bo larger
for tho future than is usual for sp'ring weath
er aud spritiij consumption. Tho small coals
now in ec'cs!) of the current demand are
held at SO to 40 cents per ton hlglicr than
tho large sizes, and but for (Ills dilference,in
prices the Consumers of llio largo coais,wliich
aro in good demand, would tnkb both in
discriminately. For" somo uses for whicli
largo coal is now exclusively used, because
of its lower prico, Ihe smaller sizes would be
prefcrrcU. It is proposed to remedy tho
trouble, not by putting down the small sizes
but to s'dyaiico the prices of tho largo coals.
A few weeks under this operation it is be
lieved will readily and effectively adjust this
disparity in the market, and without loss to
tho trade, as it is not contemplated to lessen
tho prices of any of tho severdl sizes of the
same quality of coal, but to bring up tho
prices of tho largo colls, which aro now nt
some Epm'e points short of the demand. The
outlook for tho coal trado is not only good
but continues to Improve from week to week.
It is good from its relation to tho improved
condition of the other activo industries of
tho country, but good in itself in its own
supply and market demand. Coal is wanted
for UJany uses, to ena'u'fe tho fulfillment ol
contracts that cannot be abrogated, and
which aro necessary lo keep tho business
"boom," now fuirly started, in progress.
Last year tho an'thfacito' fifoduct exceeded
28 millions of forts,' arid the moro careful in
the trade now estimate that it will, in the
year 1880 fctceed last year's amount by
more tna'n 11 millions of tons. This will, it
is expocted, tax the productive capacities of
the several coal regions to about their full
extent. Lcdqcr, 15th Inst.

To Geo. I. Howell fc Co's Newspaper Ad
vertising Bureau, 10 Spruce street, Now
Yo.rk. the press and the publlo are Indebted
for tho most ol the statistics of Amerlcnn
newspapers. When this firm commenced
business In 1805, there was not accessible to
the (labile, anything which approximated n
complete newspaper list. It, was the custom
of Iho advertising nxenctcs lb keep thelf'J se
cret, bcllcvlni? that they thereby mado it nec
essary for advertisers lo consult them. In
IMS, Messrs. Geo. P. Itowcll it Co. Issued the
first American Newspaper Directory. In the
prciaco 01 mat won occurred mis paragraph!
"Wo have always believed, nnd labored In
the belief, that, as advertising nttents, It was
and should bo. In our power to be of material
cervlco to both advertiser and publisher, and
wo know no batter tray to convlnco them of
Ihe valuo or our services than by Issuing this
book, thus enabling them to tommttnlcate
without our aid t this wo fla In tho belief that
we shall thereby tbo soonsr persuado them of
vim uiimy 01 employing ami encouraging
our Agency."
Tho result showed, the position to be well
taken. Wit Lin twelvo months their firm was
In receipt ofa larger patronage than had ever
before been accorded to an advertising agen
cy. It Is a fact, frequently commented upon,
that there Is no other business Interest of the
country, Ihe statistics of which are to trior,
oughty sat forth and made public, as that of
making newspapers ; and for this the Ameri
can Nowspaper Directory has the entire
credit.
In 1870, at the World's Fair at Phlladcl
pfila, Messrs. Geo. P. Itowcll & (Jo. eroded A
building In which who received, filed and
exhibited, late copies of every American pe
riodical publication; tho London Timet cor
respondent, In tho opening paragraph of his
letter of July loth of that year, writes as fol
lows :
'I have frequently had occasion to notice
th e big way In which tile Americans do
things, nnd 1 do not think It would be easy to
find an apter Illustration of It than that fur
nished by the newspaper building In tho Ex.
hibitlon grounds."
Messrs. Geo. 1. Iiowcll & Co. point with
satisfaction to tho tif 0 years In whloh they
Incurred the greatest expense for extending
to the public broad sources of Information
concerning the business In which they are en
gaged (i860, 1870), as tho two In which, not
withstanding the extraordinary outlay, did
actually produco for them a not tncomo In ex
cess of any other years of their business carc6r4
uno or tlio strongest holds which tins Ad
vertising Murearl has upon tho newspapers, Is
obtained by their system of making prompt
payments for work dono. Newspaper men
who have commended this feature, when vis-
Itlng tho efflcojQ New York, bavo boon In
vited to tho cashier's desk, and ;Shqwn rcori,,
splcuous printed notlco posted there, which
reads:
"ALL BILLS RECEIVED BEFORE
TWJJLVE O'OLOUK MUST BE EX
AMINED AND AID TO-DAY."
Tho Advertising Agent avers to his patron,
the advertiser, that he will procure for him
Me Jou-r ponible ralet. His profit comes
from' d commission from the publisher. To
take tho advertisement nt a reduction from
usual rates, and pay the agont tor securing It,
Is not alwuys pleasant foralbo newspaper men,
but the reflection "wo shall surely get Iho
monoy.tho day we send the hill," has often
decided hlra to accept An orTer far below tho
price he ought to hnvo received. From thoso
nowspapcrs wJtlch bavo ono price lor every-
body.and require everybody to pay that price
It Is unnecessary to say that Messrs. Geo. P.
Itowcll f. Uo.. obtain no advantages beyond
the established commission, nor do they desiro
any. What they want, and what they must
have for their patrons, Is tho lowest prico, and

to six montht im'prisbnment In the House
of Correction'and to nay 0 One of $1000. A
dispatch dated San Francisco, on the I6th
says 1 The magnitude of the sentence was
a surprise to'Kearcey, who had expected to
get olf with u nominal punishment. It is
probable that ho will take tho case to tho
Supremo Court on a habeas corpus. Iu pass
ing sentence on Kearney the Judge said it
was not his duty to punish the risoner for
similar ofl'cuccs in tho past, but to epufine
himself strictly to tho present case. lie
would pass Judgment williout prejudicedeel
ing or vindictivenessj but the sentence im
posed would indicate hisestimhte of the grav
ity of the olfenoo. He then (iassed sentence,
as ueiore staieu. Kearney received ins sen
tence in silence, but his features expressed
tbe utmost surnriso and' indlcnation.- He
had previously stated that he expected to
get oil' with a fine af f20',ortuerenbouts,and
after leaving tho Court room ho freelv ex
pressing his anger and chagrin, denouncing
the penalty as outrageoui and claiming that
no wouiu ix-ai u. rrooauiy, in expectation
ofa nominal sentence, his counsel neglected
to demand a jury trial, and havinz no re
course in that direction he at once filed an
