Tlio Coal Trade.
Thb' Philadelphia Lcdqer of the 31st ult:
sums up the condition and prosjiccts of the
coal trade as follows:
Tlio anthracite coal trade continues some
what dull, but there 13 manifest throughout
the trade a disposition to hold up prices. If
this purmso is firniiy adhered to tho coal
trade of 1SR0 will, no doubt, end satisfacto
rily, but if the producers yield the point nf
fixing fairly Jkiyiug prices, and adhering to
them, there is likely to be a broken market
and unsatisfactory prices. As wc havo said,
the coal traiie Is uotf dull; the orders on the
market being few and light irf amount. Dur
ing tho past week an advance of IS cents a
ton was announced oil the prices of stove
coal sizes by lho committees of tho Lehigh
and Schuylkill Coal Exchange and was
subeqnenlly approved by the Bevernl com
panies interested. The iati-s Tor eastern ship
ment will remain until during the coming
mouth, as it has been deemed inexpedient
to mako any advance, as had been proposed,
This was probably a mlstako, for the better
informed iu the trade adhere to the opinion
that tbe true policy for the government of
the trade is lo steadily advance prices as the
season for producing shortens. There is
good reason for this, in the fact that opera
tors and tho transjiorting companies can af
ford early in the season to put coal Into the
market in moderate quantities at lower prices
than they can later in the year put in ex-
costive quantities In the comparatively short
time that remains to the end of the year.
This is a point of view as important to con
sumers of coal as it is to producers ot coal.
If tbe trade con approximate fibbiit Ihe ex
tent of tho year's oonsuirip'tlon of coal tho
danger of neglecting to put in supplies at
present prices inay be pretty nearly calcu
lated. It is iupposcd that tbe anthracite pro
duction this year may resell nine millions
of tons' by tbe first of July. Setting the en-
lire product necessary to meet the demand

burg, last Monday, the following cases were
decidodjtho first two of which being in favor
of-tho Commonwealth, puis about $!t),000
into lho Stale Treasury . About two mouths
ago tho Dauphin County Court decidod that
the Pennsylvania Itailroad Company was
taxable for part of the year ou dividends,
under the act of 1871, aiid on the appraised
value for the remainder of (ha year, under
the act of 1877. Against the claim oftho
corporation, that tlio dividends should not
be taxed, as they did not amount to six per
cent., the Court found in favor oftho Com
monwealth for $87,823.80,of which $21 ,J08,-

cent, and costs,
Two appeal casethi which Norlhiimber
land and Schuylkill counties were directly
interested, nnd which have a bearing oh
many other counties, wero decided in favor
oftho Commonwealth. The Hoard of ltev.
enuo Commissioners, in 1878, had increased
the amount on personal property, di return
ed by the County Commissioners. A largo
number of counties appealed from the settle
ment made against them by the Auditor
General and gained their point in the court!.
Several failed to appeal in timo and laid
tho money oseeesed against them. The
present suits' were instituted to obtain a cre
dit for Ih wo amounts, but tho Supreme
Court has deoidedais had tho DaupHin Coun
ty Court, that they are too late. The amount
involved is about $100,000.
Tho Supremo Court decided against the
claim of the Clack Creek and Union Im
