COAL TRADE RUMOR
DOWN IN NEW YORK
Premature RcporlR Circulated Regard
ifi2 a Big Selling Scheme.
NO FOUNDATION FOR THE TALK.
It Wns Snld That tho Iinrgo Produc

View ofAllcgc'd Present Bernoulli
znllou ofTrndc-'J. Plcrpont .Mor
gan, on Account of His Groat It nil
rcuiil Interests! Was Looked to for
a Solution,
It was admitted yestoiday In New
York oal trade cltclos that Important
negotiations have been In progresrt for
some time past among the loading of
ficials of the antluaclto coal mining
and transportation companies They
wcr-, uys tho Commercial Adveitlsor,
tho outcome of the demointlzatlon In
which the coal trade has boon since
last July as the result of overptodue
tlon Demoralization was threatened
tr.at imperilled the solvency of all tho
coil lEllwavs.
It was natural, In this situation, that
nil "jes should turn to J Plcrpont
Morgan for relief, owing to his para
mount Jnltuencc In tho affairs of tho
Heading, the Lehigh Valley, the Hrle.
the Susquehanna and Western and his
Intimate relations with the controlling
Interests of tin" Delaware and Hudson
The pioductlon of antluaclto coal, It
Is admitted, can be legulated with
great oase Practically all of It comes
fiom a Htnall section of Pennsylvania.
It Is an old lndustij; nnd nil tho condi
tions that govern 'it are thoroughlj'
wo 1 known Capitalists have long r c
rgnlzed the possibility of controlling
the Industry, but It has so happened
that for n number of reasons the prac
ticability of doing so has been a mat
ter of doubt
NO "THt'ST" scubmi:.
A number of plans have been sug
gested during th' pact twenty-five
years, none of which contemplated the
foi matlon of a "trust." but all of which
weie designed to do away with the
oiiors which have nnrain and again
brought the tiado to the verge of d -niorallzatlon
What Mr Moigan can do with the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
nd the Pennsylvania Railroad com
panies is a mutter of much uneertalti
tv The latter has alwajs llatlv io-fus-ed
to enter Into a gi foments of any
natiuc. and the fcniiv'i has been a dls-
c)Ultlng element beoauso It has alwnjs
i can led on Its tnM'ies.i liiespecllvi of
other members of the trade Its largo
sm plus has enabled It to act with mon
Independence than ninio of Us tiun
petllois. If a tfi'ttal selling agencv
weie established to handle the pioduct
of all the companies It could sc i-coly
engage to dispose of all the coil th
comblnee" inteusts could produce,
the maikot could not ab&oib It. ft
would have to tell (ach Intoiest how
much of lis onl it tould undoitake to
sell, month by month, which It Is said
In vvell-lnioinitil elides, would meet
with violent opposition fiom piaclieal
lv all tho funni'iies, which would in
sist upon piodr.itng more.
A gioat manv details hnvv et to be
poifected bofoie a lau is definitely
settled on, and It mav lie stated on
good authoiltj that anj announcement
at pietent Is not only piomntuie, but
nb'olutely Inooiioet. Officials nt all
th" loading anthuuite Interests pio
fos Ignorance as to the plan Ihst Is
popularly siippostd to bo piepaiing It
Its Indor I, mote than n possibility that
the (ln.il plan will not piovlde for a
niintr.l cnlllnn. rurniim' nt nil niiu li ma
l tha h'Miie has to lecommcnd It in the
eyes of many niMiibeis of the trade.
MUCH MISINFOHM VTION
It Is In lesatd to the iilan of selling
the eomnanl -n' coal dlieetly to the do
mestic consumer that the gteatest
amount of mlslnfoi matlon has bei n
publlbhcd These nrtlclos. In the opin
ion of practically all the nrcfcldonts of
the anthracite companies, aio without
foundation. They state that thej have
no deslto to engage In the letall coal
business. One of them said jestcrdny
"The loport Is laughable No such
thing Is contemplated bv any of the
companies to my knowledge. Lven If
0110 of them should tty It the othcis.

I take It, are not eager to commit sul
side. But the most laughable blunder
la the statistics ot coat consumption In
New Yen It city. No statistics have
ever been compiled on which to base
even an approximate estimate. A yel
low sheet says 30,000,000 tons yearly.
It may be double 1 whether a mora
atisurr' statement hn even been print
ed even by that paper Itself Greater
New York probably tnkes not more
than G.000,000 tons of prepared sizes a
year. You must remember that the
totnl production this jenr Is only about
41,000,000 tons, which would leave only
11,000,000 tons for the rest of the coun
try to keep warm on It Now Yoik
takes 30,000,000 tons, manifestly a most
absurd statement."
