COAL TRADE. Nay. , 'Vont, April. 11th, 1843. Mn Eorrou :--I wish to vey n few words in your papin on the subiset °title cold trade. I ern deskr in this efty, sad make it s point to watch whet appears in you paper from week to week in -relation to toil. You !lave. published several Cr. tide's lately, in which you advise the miner out to sell unless they get good remonerating. prices.— This is snood and wholesome advice; but can the miners follow it? They say that the first step in cooking a dolphin is to catch him—and as it takes two to make a bargain. I think that the buyers as well es the sellers of coat have got to agree to a good price, before the article can be sold. -- Now let me give you a few reasons why I think that you won't very readily find toners to make such a bargain. It will dU no harm at any rate, for you to publish them, so that miners may con sider upon them. Well then in the first place, fur three winters past, bowie keepers and other consumers have found that they coult: boy coal cheaper in the dead of winter; than in the dog days—and they are getting tired of that game.— So if you miners continuo to come to our docks with their canal Wats, and peddle out their coal, they won't find the-consumers very ready to buy —they won't be frightened more than three years' out.of four, by the cry of short supply, and high winiet prices. They find by experience thatthey can keep their money till winter, and thencouy cheaper than in summer. So the pedlats IWin't sell at hiih'pricos, nor at any prices to the hOuse keepers, if they come here with their coal. iWill the dealers buy it and lay if op in their yartla I I guess not, at the prices you seem to be thifilting or. How can they, , with any safety t all of you miners token a comae that ruins 'the *mi ens ? Hoist can they afford to pay yard rer4, of tent anti other eSpell4Ffp, summer sod wittier, and buyifiiii 7 coal, wile. you keep oendins ipur canal boats here to retail coal at the whirred They won't do it, nor they can't do it long; tt they veld, if the mtnersiteep up that sort of Wilde —and in 'the long ron, the miners will find that in ruining the dealers, they ruin their beat friends. Well yon ain't content to lepoil the summer trade in that, nap e but you most go and make the Read ing Rail Road to bring coal In winter as well as summer, and so make it sure that a dealer can't get any profit on coat th.t he lays up for winter saber. What chance is there now to make any mousy on coal elated for winter sales? The mar ket can't rise--fur the moment there is any loin- cation that my, enrick comes coal down the Reading Rail Road, in the dead of winter, to kill the poor dealer, that hoped to get a little advance on the stock he bad piled op in his yard. Now this don't help the miner to get good pukes. Then again bow many companies have. Ton got in the coal trade, that have no right to be in ill There is do Delaware and Raritan Canal Co.. carrying it on in the none of Capt. Stockton— and there is that rotten Northampton Back, some where on the Lehigh—end it is said and believed here,. that the Reading Rail Road Co. is going to try its hand in the market through the Forest Im provement Co. The Forest Improvement Co. is to be allowed to bring its coal over the Rail Roa.l, • • On beato terms than any body else--and all the Reading Rail Road people make themselves very busy to recommend and sell that coal. So here is a league of these two companies, to the injury of every body else. Well,here at home, we've got the Lackawanna Co., and they sell coil dog cheap, summer and winter. We used to think their coal was good for, nothing, and in no knife way— but that story won't do any r ; people hat/ foond.out that it ain't true, so they cleseAeir coal out elm] and smooth every year—and every year they, bring a still larger quaniitiond sell it still lower. They seem to kearpaight aide up. and go ahead even in the woritt-dimes. Now sir, just publish all thte, and let'ihe miners reed it, and consider tell me if , you please, how you calculate, when you say coalardl be higher—and above all, tell me howl can make any money, by baying to sell again, if all this kind of irade, that I mentioned, is to be kept up ! Don't the miners see that is is not their interest to destroy the deal- era When the dealers are ruined ern] gone. who will buy coal of the miners in-summer, to lay up for winter sales! And ain't the miners striv ing to ruin the dealers by sending their b o ats here, with cargoes to retail (luring the summer.' and by sending it over the'Reading Railroad during the winter I ft iv bad enough for us to hese to meet a par cel of rotton corporations, in the retail market; but if the miners are also to come into the market, against us as retailers, we may as well quit the trade at once, as attempt to straggle any' longer in it.
