Tho November letter of the Anthra

this to say nboitt the anthracite ctwil
maiket and the condition of tho trade
geneially ,
"The nnthnultc market Is extieme
ly unsatisfactory, both ns tegatds de
mand and prices. AVhllo a large ton
nage has been mined during October,
a considerable portion of It wns stocked
to await a market, nnd unusually
heavy shipments have gone to the I2ast
and AVest In anticipation of the clos
ing of navigation. Sales for actual con
sumption have not been ns large as
were expected, since dealers, anticipat
ing an over-stocked maiket about the
eloso of November, and with It lower
prices, ate filling ordeis fiom their
stocks and expect to purchase only ac
cording to immediate requliements
"Any Impiovement which may be ex
pci ted must coine from a prolonged
spell nf cold weathei This would
foice bujlng for consumption nnd, be
cause of the comparatively small stocks
In dealers' hands, probably cause a
rush for Immediate delivery, which tho
inllroads would be unable tn meet with
their piesent oar supply. This, how
ever, Is s-lmply n speculative possibility,
and it Is legietable that .such n grent
Industry should have come to a state
wheto the uncertainty of weather con
ditions must be depended upon to dis
pose of Its products.
PRICKS STATIONARY.
"Prices aie stationary with n tend

AVhether oi not there w HI be an Im
provement before the fli.st of Januaiy
will depend upon the tonnage In No

a most radical reduction In hhlpments
to effect It
"The shipments of anthincite fiom
Jan. 1st to Oct 1st, 1897, amounted to
2S.200.000 tons as compaied with 25,
500,000 tons, which is tho sum of the

break in pi Ices, innny Interests added
heavily to their stocks nt lino storage
points. So far as can bo seen now, no
material Improvement for tho better Is
likely to take placo until tho opening
of spring trade.
DISAPPOINTMENT KIJHN.
"Tho disappointment Is more than
usually keen because of tho undoubted
earnestness apparent through the first
half of tho j car nnd the excellent re
sults from It which showed In the lat
ter part of June. The entire situation
has been summarized by a largo deal
er, in the statement that, for somo
years past, tho sellers have found It
more and more difficult to deceive the
dealers Into believing that It was a
good plan to purchase In spring for
Investment.
"This year they made a supreme cf
foit nnd succeeded ngnln, but the dcal
eis have now concluded that In future
It will be more profitable to take the
chance of nn advance In prices In fall,
rather than to purchase eaily nnd lose
the Interest, and even part of their In
vestment, ns has been the case. AVhllo
there never has been supieme confi
dence In the ptomlses of the trnns
poitlng Interests, their action this ear
has been a serious blow to what little
temnlned, nnd It Is probable that It will
take several jears of faithful perform
unco to ngnln place them In the posi
tion which they have forfeited.
' Rut present conditions nie serious.
The tonnage for October has been ex
ceptionally Inrge; unsold stocks held
nt Interior storage points have greatly
Increased; the market is comparative
ly Inactive and Its entlte tendency is
to purchase only fiom hand to mctuth,
ns the nctunl consumption warrants
Tor the next thhty days shipments will
continue to the Hast and AVest, but
then, when navigation Is closed, tho
entlte product will be thrown on the
tidewater and line mnrket, with tho
usual result that pi Ices will drop far
below piesent quotations.
SIIOTLD TAK13 ACTIAT. STHPS.
' Tot the sake of maintaining the
value of their various securities, and
to avoid the repetition of such another
stiuggle as was had the first half of
this ear. the transportation Intel ests
should take active steps now, and not
wait until the close of the month, to
keep the November tonnage well with
in the muiket's requirements If an
unusually active demand should arise.
It will bo asy to lnciease the output,
but unless decisive action Is taken early
this month, the conditions at the be
ginning of next year, only two months
off, will be even worse than at the
commencement of this one.
