INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
The shipments of bituminous coal for
1894 show a decrease of 81,471 tons com
pared with the previous yenr.
Tho Huntingdon and Broad Top
Mountain Railroad and Coal company's
coal tonnage for the week ended Jan.
12 increased 1,907.15 tons, making the
decrease for the year to that date only
4.4S5.03 tons.
The coal shipments over the Read
ing railroad for the week ended Jan.
12 was 212,068 tons, an 'Increase of ll.CGI
tons over the same week of 1894. Pol
itic fiscal year 'to date the shipments
are l,3lil,776 tons, a decroase of 12(1,2!).'!
tons compared with the same period
last year.
Wilkes-Barre Record: "The commit
tee on percentages may make a report
sooner than expected. There Is talk
ngaln of a single central agent selling
everybody's coal. The policy of dis
tributing the entire output among the
railroads in an equitable manner is
being Insisted upon no matter how
badly It may affect certain roads that
have had more than their share hereto
fore." In 1RS8 the Lehigh Valley, with a coal
tonnage of 8,fM0.N2G tons, received In
gross revenue $10,1119,804; In 1804, with u
coal tonnuge of 11,10.1,157, it received
only $8,391, 541. In other words, while
the company moved 2,452,3:11 tons more
than It did in 1SS8. it received $1,928.26,1
gross revenue less, a loss of nenrly 5
per cent, upon the capital stock of the
company from the conl business nUiii",
and still a greater loss Is found In the
rates on the combined traflle of tho
company.
Thp anthracite coal trade Is very
quiet. During the first week in Janu
ary there was a fair restriction of ton
nage, but the demand for coal Is ex
tremly light and the new movement Is
small. The leading companies ure njj
trying to maintain rates. Conl Is of
fered at Buffalo or the bridges at $4
per ton or $2 at the mines, which Is 23
cents below the official figures. The
anthracite sub-committee Is still work
ing on a plan to unite the trade on some
scheme covering future business.
Numerous branches of the United
Mine Workers of America have been
established recently In the anthracite
mining region of Schuylkill, Northum
berland and Columbia counties. The
organization has a total membership In
the Schuylkill region of about 14.000. In
Schuylkill county there have been es
tablished sixty different brnnches of
the organization. There Is now a lodge
In almost every mining village and
hamlet In the county. The work ot or
ganizing Is being done quietly but ef
fectively. Carbontlale Herald: "Joseph Ste

to our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rous that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of millins STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and!
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers art
of tlie opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for millinp;. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling haa
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
