COAL, IRON, AND VETROCEfJJl.
At an annual meeting of tbe Philadelphia
Board of Trada, a report was read relative
to three great tteplrs of (be State of Perm
rlvania coal, Iron and petroleum. The
paat year wa a productive one. From the
three great aothraalte coal fields 13,674,257
tona were sent to market a considerable In
crease over 1867. notwithstanding tlrikea.
In tbe bituminous coal Hoe the total pro
duction or the State was not less than 18,.
000,000 tons. Forty-five millions of dollar!
were distributed amongst tbe producer.
Tbe petroleum estimates are almost start'
ling. At least 100,000,000 gallons were ex
ported. Tallied at tbe port of shipment at
rn.ooo.000 In currency, Too report ays:
The domestic consumption added to tbl
export would show that tbe world has taken
for consumption not less than 140,000,601
gallons of this remarkable product, and a
lueofover $37,000,000 in our currency."
To tx.tet statistics of non-production for
1SS8 are uol attempted, lint an approximate
esiimaie is made as follows: Pig-iron of all
kluds 883.82 tons; from forges and bloomer
let, 32,164 tons; rail, 253,280 tons; manu
factured iron in tbe various forms. rod,seet
plate, hoop, nails, ate, 265,821 tona
"The amounts would Indicate a value of
n il less than $68,000,000 at the average of
Vtlcet current for tbe year." Aggregating
t'.e values we have a total of $105,000,000.
To furnish an idea of the real magnitude
of eur wealth, thu report compute the
value or cotton tbe almost exclusive staple
or eight Slate 2,200,000 bales at $80 per
Imle, $176,000,000.
JrooiixxT Kotks. The commissioner
of internal revenuo bis recently decided
that a judgment note should he stamped at
the usual rate of promissory pates, being
five oente for every $100, or fractional part
thereof, with Are cents additional, on ao
ciiuot ol tbe clause "without defalcation."
This decision it made under tbe clauses of
the internal revenue law, which provides
that no stamp duty shall be charged upon
any warrnntof attorney accompanying a
bond or note duly stamped.

Tbe following new ha been received
from Port au Prince: The Haytien ateamer
lalnave seized two French vessel in the
harbor of St. Marie fer running the block
ade. Tbe French Admiral bearing of tbe
affair, compelled tbe government to sur
render tbe vessels. He declared that the
blockade ol the Haytien coast was Ineffec
tive; and that the occasional calling or a
man-of-war at a port was not sufficient to
establish a state or blockade, and that
Haytl bad no right to seize foreign vessel
running into ports, tbe blockade of which
It could not maintain. The report of tbe
capture of Aux Cayee by the forces of Sal
nave 1 not confirmed, but it is believed
that Amz Cayes, Jaemel and Jerenle and
other towns on tbe Southern ooast will toon
oo oDiigeu to surrender. The conditioner
affairs in tho northern district of Haytl it un
changed. Business ia rev ivlug at Port an
