ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE.
What a Tiade Journal Has to Say
About It.
Concerning the present condition of
the antluailte coal tiade, the Engine er
ing and Mining Journal of Saturday
has this to sa
"The movement of coal west Is now
lreavv and docks at upper lake ports
are very busy. In the east consumers
at most points pursue a waiting polio
A considerable volume of biihlnes.s was
called out by tho announcement of llie
contemplated advance on July 1, but
things eae'd off again quickly and thcie
Is little to note. The output for May is
htated to have been very near 3,500,000
tons. This Is considerably In excess of
what was thought the market needed,
but stocks have not act umuluted to any
perilous extent and the large companies
hdve been prutty strlot on quotations
"It is evident now that the fall and
winttr buying will in all probability be
very hcavv indeed, and If the produc
ing Intel ests hold together a couple of
months longer there will be a profit for
everybody. The prospect also Is against
labor troubles of any Importance arrd
as soon as fall buying starts the mlneis
ate likely to find things coming their
way. The heavy demand for labor in
many western mining Holds is likely to
lie felt and there Is a possibility that
anthracite operators may llnet them
selves bhort-handed.

Mr. Sloan's retirement has been a re

In the toads manner of doing business
in certain ways. It Is also fair to pre
sume that the road will earn Just as
good profits for Its shareholders.
