At a conference of the coal trafile agents of the Pennsylvania, Reading and Lehigh Valley Railroads held In Philadelphia Fri day to decide upon the question the sltuta tlon was most carefully discussed, and It was finally agreed not to advance tolls for the month of August. Tbe decision Is very acceptable to the city dealers, who have all along protested against any advance In freight charges contending that the present rate is In excess of former years. The cost of coal to the dealers during this month will doubtless not exceed the present cost, as the companies In all probability will not advance tho circular prices until September 1st.
