Tlio Coal Trndc.
Tho anthracite coal Irodc has been un
usually quiet during the past week. Orders
ave been pretty falrand prices In themain
maintained. We ore sorry to say, however,
not In every Instance by all tho parties to
tho voluntary agrcemont, for It is strict ad
herence to circular prices that Is to ml so the
trade frmri the depression that has carried
H to me verge oi uanarupicy no almost nuy
llmo for tho past two or three-years. There
is not much evidence- of breaking In prices.
nd the very lew Instances that have come
to our knowledge-are limited In tho amounts
sold ami tho decline In prices. This makes
the transactions the mora Indefensible, for
it Is simply breaking the market both In the
present and lor tho future without present
or ultimata advantage. In truth it Is in
every way bad, for it encourages tho hope
on tho part of consumers that If they per
sist In holding their orders oat of the mar
ket there will como n break among pro
ducers, an excessive production of coal, and,
n tho anxiety to sell, a damaging cutting of
prices. Tlio trade has advanced tills yearns
satisfactorily as could bo exicctcd under the
circumstances. The coal market up to the
present is iu tho control of tho operators,
ami that is a great achievement. They can
furnish coal to the extent that there is a do
main! for it at paying prices. Beyond Unit
they should not go, uud should not be ex
pected to go. They have two or three times
Iready this year halted in the production of
coal, and on one or two occasions have ad-
auccd prices and permitted the idea to go
abroad that the later in the season tho lay
ing in of coal is deferred tho higher will
prices bo advanced. That such should be
tho result is but natural. Tho shorter tho
time for handling tho year's coal supply is
reduced tho greater necessarily will bo the
cost.- Cheap roal iu very considerable mea
sure depends uoii u long season fur trans
portation. The sooner iu the year manufac
turing consumers commenco laying in their
supply of coal, ond tlio more nearly they
work up to it, tlio cheaper will they com
mand their fuel and the more entirely are
hey out of tho way of any of the vicissi
tudrs to which the Iraiio is liublo liter 111
the season. Thers is no advantage in pros.
pert this year ill iostiniiiiig the laying 111 of
coal. Tho slocks nt the principle coal ecu
tics ore materially reduced, nnd production
is soino three huud'ed mid sevenl v-fiye
thousand tons less than at cirrefpnndiiig
time last year. This loss in production is to
bo overcome, in a comparatively short sea
son hcuco to the end of tlio year, which just
now is checked by tlio scarcity of vessels,
which Is likely to oontinuounlil pretty well
into tho month of June. We havo butono
caution to consumers of coal, and that Is,
not to wait fir lower prices, but to lay it in
asoccatmu for its uso occurs. There, is no
rational reason to believe (hat coal will go
to lower prices lienco lo the end of tlio year,
and there is every probability of tlio truth
of tho conclusion that tho year's supply will
be short of the demand. Miners, coal ope
ratorsnnd transiorter3 nro now all earning
fair profits, uud the experience that has
brought this desirable result about should
have fairly taught them how nnd at what
cost their advontago has been obtained. It
lenends wholly witli themselves if tliev
hold it. Coal is a coinmodilv that a dollar
in Its price on a ton is scarcely appreciated
by tho consumer in the month or two that
it is running through tho household, and
yet, counted on u year's consumption, is
more than twenty five millions of dollars!
Thobo in the trade who urc endeavoring lo
stimulate it by small reductions in price, in
violation of mutual unilcrbtunding, should
take euro that tliev nro not bv such u course
breaking the market, to the, injury of the
consumer, by making him pay more later
in the season. Lcdqer, 10A.
At ii conference in Philadelphia Wed
nesday afternoon of Lehigh and Schuylkill

Packer will not agree lo any further sus

i:ml or a murder Trial.
The trial ol Edward Curley, who killed
John Gunning, utCentralia, during thetimo
of tho Molly Maguiro lawlessness in the
coal regions, lias been in progress in Blooms-
burg, Columbia county, since last week.
Tho killing of Gunning was brought about
in this way: Curley kept a saloon, and Gun
ning went tliero with a basket of blackber
ries, which he 6old to Mrs. Curley for a
drink. Sho found, on examining the ber
ries, that the basket in which they were had
been half filled with leaves and the berries
placed on top. This so incensed the worn
gn Unit, on tier husband's return home, she
informed h:m of the fact, and the conse
quence was the death of Gunning by being
struck on the head with u stone.
After the murder Curley fled Irom the
country and went to Ireland, but returned
alter some years nnd delivered himself up.
Among Iho witnesses placed oil the 6taud
was Mrs. Gunning and Manus MrBrierty,
the latter having ot ono time inclined the
ill-will of the Mollies lo such an extent that
Ducky Connelly, the last one ol' them hang
ed ut Potlsville, led a party nut to shoot alc
Brierty, but it was never raaried out. The
testimony ill tlie case was all in on S.itur
day. Monday and Tiieiday was occupied
in addressing the Jury. Judge Elwell charg
ed the jury Tuesday alternoou, and the lat
ter retired for deliberation at four o'elork
After an absence of two hours they rehired
witli a verdict of guilty of murder in the
