Last Year's Trade la Bituminous and Anthracite, YEAR OF NOTABLE FLUCTUATIONS IU Etui Saw Both Branches ot the Coal Trade Depressed, but the Advantage Was Resting with An thraciteSome Reflections Apropos of the Recent Statistics of Produc tionOther News arid Gossip of the Flying Hours. Since it is in a mensute competitive against anthracite, the tr.fl. in oituini nous coal, mi reviewed for 18U:t, presents some minis of reminiscent ial in! crest In thin connection. Wo condense what follows from the l-Jagi inuring and Mia lag Journal; "Bituminous coal of all descriptions during the first five months of 1893 was in a strong, healtbv position, and in January, February and March demand was active, operator and Urge shippers being at times un able to till orders promptly. Coal carrying roads were ... I to their full capacity. Iu February the severe weather rendered it diflloult for ship pers to supply fuel to regular cus tomer.i, and till now business was ac cepted only contingent on ability to AU. Toward the end of March the supply of bituminous coal whs over abundant. The bif' strike iu the Hock ing Valley in Ohio In May causud little embarrassment iu the market, as sup plies were ample, shippers taking liberal quantities before the miners Want out. The opening of many new mines in the bituminous coalfields of In liana began to affect the tonuige of the block coal man and prices weakened. The closing of the steel mills at Juliet threw a large quantity of the ehoapar grades of coal on this market, riming a drop in prices. Other plants and fac tories shut d urn, and COaJ ws offered at cost of mining plus the freight in Order to keep the minea going at least a part of the time. Operator exorcised the usual caution in credits, so that while .It in ml had falleu off and prices i were demoralized there were few fail I urea to quote. The withdrawal of 1 mauy passenger trams at the close of the Coluuibiau exposition was also a factor iu decreasing the tonnage, which was not offset by any increase in freight traffic after the close of navigation. The year closed with a congested mar ket for all kinds of bitumiuous coal, nnd prices are completely demoralized. The same authority presents an in teresting review ot the trade in anthra cite. In this trade the year opened well, With a good volume of small orders Rumors of a break in the com bination bad a weakening effect in , February. The heavy surplus of that I month caused much incouveuience through inability to get supplies for warded to tne country. Bituminous coal was so short that many steam plants were obliged to use anthracite. March maintained its eld prestige as a good coal selling month iu the several branches, ana stocks steadily decreased Tut, ANNUAL KBETIHO u" THE stijckbolders i,t 1 be Muusio Powder Con MQ will be held at their office in the eity ot BcrastOO, Pa. on Wednesday.

Neuralgia, (.'ramp and Colic there is no remedy super ior to the genuine Dr. Thouias'Electrlo Oil. made in October. The strained condi tion of finances affected sales and to ward the latter part of June thoy fell oil' considerably. Another advanco of '.'5c. July 1 only served to make mat tors worse. For a short time the strin gent orders from proJncerseast had its effect, but priees soon drifted back to the old figures. Tue separation of the Lehigh and Heading intorests in Au tfmt caused a further weakening in prices, which, coupled with the in creasing depression, added grcatlv to the dullness in tho market. Careful estimates disclosed the fact that up to the end of August tho tonnage sold was fully 59 per cent, less than for the corresponding month in 18112. Through out September and October country dealers continued their conservative buying. At iht close of navigation the docks and yards became glutted with coal, and many loaded vessels were tied up at the various docks. The aunual election of officers of the Pittsburg, Marion and Chicago Kail way company was held at Beaver Mon day. An important matter to the com pany was th transferring of the option on leases on '.',000 acres of cannel nnd bituminous coal land near Negley, O, on the line of this railroad, known as the liillingsly, llykaand Rogers tracts, to a New Yum iTDdioatt of capitalists by I. F. Mansfield and C. II. Smith. The formor has been for years inter ested In the cannel coal mines, at Can nolton. The company purchasing the options on the leases, will begin exten sive operations at once. The snles agents on Monday, Nov.'7, voted to restrict the December output to 2,500,000 tons, and took stens to en force the reduction. The official fig ures for the month will not be out for two weeks, but in the four weeks ended Dec. 110 production was :,224,OOL tons, or ovor 700,000 tons more than the amount agreed upon. For the year, with the reduced consumption, the out put will probably prove to be nesrly 1,200,000 tons grenter than in i-.o This moves the Philadelphia Stuck holder to usk: How can tho coal trade continue to show snuh large earnings for three companies when nil agree ments are violated nnd the laws of trade ignored bv this over production? 'I in applanation is that the stock car ried ovor unsold must be simply enor mous, but the railroads have carried the ooal to storage points nnd are cred ited with earning money just as though the coal was sold. In no other busi ness does this seeming disregard of the laws of trade seem to pay. James B. Oliver, the Pittsburg iron king, says there is not a mill in the country operating iu full. "Every thing," he says, "seems to depend on the Wilson bill. It it is not nasied tmdo will no doubt be brisk, ns stocks never have bean as light as at present in the history of the country, but buy -ra are holding, awaiting the results of the tariff legislation." The Huntingdon and Broad Tod Railroad company started otf the new year under favorable circumstances so far as its coal touuugu is concerned, the week ended Jan. 0 showing an in crease over the corresponding period in l-'i.; of G.mitf tons. It is to be noted, however, that this increase came wholly from the Cumberland districts, the tonnage originating on the line having docreased about 50 per ceut. It is believed, on tho other baud, that there will be a cbauge iu these losses shortly, and that the tonnage of Broad Top coal will materially iuorease. Winnowed veqm Cbaefi The Lehigh Traction company, of lln zletou, carried 115.UO0 passengers last month. Pi unhkeepsie Bridgo bondholders are anxious to know what the Heading people aro going to do for them. The proposed doul, by which Ihe Con cord and Montreal railroad was to be leas ed to the Boston and Maine, is off. Bills are being prepnred for introduc tion in the Uhii legislature to tax sleep ing, dining, bullet, refrigerator und fast freight line cars. Tho tonnage of tho Honoy Brook dlvi sion of the Lehipdi and Wilkes-Bnrre l.'onl company for 18H1 consisted Of 618,660,00 tons, and is the largest in the history Ol tho division. Pennsylvania railroad ofBolali deny thnt the ecouomies now in practice will be car ried to the extent of consolidating divi sions, and thus dispensing with one or more sets of officers, It Is suggested In Boston that K. P, Vin Ing he made permanent receiver of the New Bngland, us ho bus no intornst in the warring factious, nnd knows the prop erty well, having been traffic inananer for a long time. More than n half million tons ot coal were brought down the Control Railroad of Now Jersey I'pper Iiehigh branch last year, and morn than 1,000 freight cats went up from White Haven during the same period. Friends of the Now Haven road will present evidence at tho New Kugland hearing to show that tho gentlemen who made affidavits by which Mr. Piatt was appointed temporary receiver ot tho New England have sold most of their stock since that event.

The volume of busiuess at the Stock exchange showed n material falling off toduy and speculation presented few reunites ot inteiott, al though the movements wore somewhat erratic early iu the day, the tendency of prices in the main was upwards, the hulls having taken steps to frighten the shorts into covering.

Tho mlvauco was snort-lived, and after a good deal of back ing and tilling, the bears finally made a determined and effective raid ou the list. The fact that no iiiorum could be obtained for the proposed meeting of the Louisville and Nashville directors did not provunt this stock from being one of the firmest on the list.
