There Is an Increased demand for coal, and general ly the slocks on hand aro quite short. As Id bolht'.lho supply on hand at Port Richmond is bhl 60,000 tons of all sizes, which il lets for this period of the year than at any time for thB past three or lour years. Last week's production was materially shortened by an oversuptly of water at the tnlues ami by the Very fceheral observance of Corpus Chrlsll 41 a religious holiday. The two causes named ycry materially lessened work at the mines. This lessened stock df coal, especially in tho Schuylkill region, and the advance often cents Scf ton for all sizes of coal by all the companies Is 0 very clear indication that In the future the market will be firmly maintained, and the supply of coal be so adjusted to the demand that the business atthe mines will rub evenly through the year, without strikes of labor or arbitrary shortening of production of coal. A stoppage at the mines during a part of the last week in June is mentioned as a thing possible, though the general Impres sion of tbe trade is that full work will be continued to the end of June. The orders for coal here are large and Urgent for tin mediate delivery. There seems to be little reason to believe that coal is likely to de cline iu prices during this year. Overpro duction il hot probable, and tbe demand Is at present well up. The domestic consump tion has been and continues to be quite large. The East is using the lull average of coal and the West will in the ncarfuturti take more than eyer before. And one rea son why freights wilt not lessen, and thus tend to cheapen coal, is that sailors' tVagea per month have largely increased, an ex pense that counts in the cost of production In the market. The edyunco of ten cents per ton, which went into effect June 1st, makes pricesabout thesmne as those of June last year. The only companies that It is supmsed will fuvor any further suspension of coal output this year It the Lehigh Val ley, and, jHiirsiiily, the Pennyslvaiiia, they I being the only ones that arc now largely ' stocked. On the subject of further coal sua ticnsion the Miners' Journal of the 1 Ot It instant says: "If any further suspension shfiutd occur this season it will be the de- I maud of the New York companies, and I will seriously embarrass tbe Philadelphia trade." On the same day the Engineering Journal said: "The general uneusiuess ol labor throughout the country, and the well known and acknowledged fact, that the miners of the anthracite regions have had half time work only for many months seems to have created a feeling among pru- ent meu in the trade that it is sale to lay n a littlo coal at tbe present time. There s nothing tangible to baso any apprehen sion of Impending troubles on. Far-sighted men, however, begin to arguo that it is only question of time when the miners of the nlhrasite regions willdemand better wages, nd they fear that the figures moy easily be laced so high that a strike may be the re suit. This feeling, it seems, finds expres sion in a little belter lie maud for coal and n a slightly higher range of prices. We are ulormed that some ol the companies are staining the advanced figures for a goodly mrtion ot their tonnage. Vessels are easier and freights are lower. As yet no action as been taken as to working next week ; It is likely, however, that it will be a lull week, the one or two following being half me. The total tonnage of anthracite coal from 11 the regions for the Week ending June 3, as reported by the several carrying compan ies amounted to 411,11)8 tons, against 038,- 300 Urns in the corresponding ueih last year, a.decrease of227,108-tons. The total mount of anthracite mined fur the year Is 0,104,81 1 tons,against 10.472.U43 loos for the same period last year, a decrease of 308,132 ions. For the woek ending on the 10th inst., 169,324 tons of coal were transported over the Lehigh Valley railroad, making a total of 937,07V tons 10 that date, nud showing an increase of 234,630 tuns us compared with same time last year. During the Sdaysemting on the Otti list., there were 92,378 tons of coal ship- tied over the L. and S.

The trick il to traco this figure) commencing ut any point you choose, with out removing the pencil until the entire fig ure is completed, nor can you retrace any of the lines.

On Friday, while Harkness wus at the skidway, at tempting to move a large log with his cant hook, the hook slipped, throwing Harkness down the embankment, the log following Iter. As Harkness shot down the mount- in side he gathered himself together, and made a fearlul leap into th-river. He hap- io tied to strike a clear place, between the los, and thus ccaped a terrible death. He was rescued by the workmen a few feet Irom the large log which rolled into the river just behind him. Harkness held on to hiscant-hdnk alt the timeind was taken out ol the river with it sl'll in his grasp: Lower Towamerislng Items; Hie Ajuio roiijj la convalescing; There is considerable ditiputo bero conccruing the new roada which nra 10 be built iu our township.
