ttO THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1899. Royal Baking Powder part I9ealt!iftiltie to Royal Baking Powder possesses peculiar quali ties not found in other leavening agents, which arise from the superior fitness, purity andhealth- fulness of its ingredients. Royal Baking Powder leavens the food perfectly by its own inherent power without changing or impairing any of the elements of the flour. Thus the hot-breads, hot-rolls and muffins, and the delicious hot griddle-cakes raised by the Royal Baking Powder are wholesome and digestible, and may be catti without distress, even by persons of delicate digestion. Alum baking powders arc low priced, a? nltim costs but two cents a pound ; but alum is a corrosive poison and it renders the baking powder dangerous to use in food. ROYAL DAKINQ POWDER CO., NEW YORK.

AN OVERDOSE OF LAUDANUM. LIVE NEWS OF THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD CONDITION OP ANTHRACITE COAL MARKET. Set Forth In the December Letter of the Operators' Association De mand Is Greater Than, the Supply and There Is No Probability of Lower Prices Until Spring D., L. & W. Board for Today Subscrip tions for the Proposed Tin Plate Plant With 'ivfert'nee to the present con dition of tlii anthracite coal ni.vket the Decern!) i' lettoi of the Anth a;llo (. oal Operakrs' association sa3. The past month has fully justified the predictions made dining the sum mer as to u scarcity of fuel. At every point of the market this dlillculty has been oxpetlenced. Ftom Maine to Min nesota there have been complaints, and It has been only because of the mod erate weather that the hhortuse has not caused moie serious consequents. Prices have been llrm, as mleht In expected under these conditions, and concessions have been rare. Such coal us hat. Rone forwatd on old ordeis has not been sutllelent to disturb the mar ket at any point, nor has the an nouncement of the construction of a new railroad from the mines to tide been a disturbing factor in prices. The Western market has been fa vored by the mild weather which has permitted shipments by the lakes, but the scarcity of vessels and high prices charged have fenced an unusual pro portion of coal to go by rail. The same difficulty as to vessels h.n been ex perienced In the New England market. Recently, vessel rates from Baltimore to Boston -were $2 tier ton, and a schooner from Philadelphia to Aug usta, Maine, received $3.50 per ton. As showing the unusual demand, the following llgures give the receipts of coal at Boston from January 1 to De cember 4, 1SS8: 1S99. ISPS. Anthracite ... 2,0tL,0o 1,696. 51 Bltumlnolis... 1,590,597 l,B01,:!9l With the beginning of December the companies find themselves unable to fill nil of the orders offered for prompt delivery. Kven allowing for the ton nage available now that Lake ravlga tlon has closed It is doubtful whether the total of December deliver!' s v 111 equal the demand. This would h e serious results, especially In the East ern maiket where the dealers have had an extraordinary demand for nnthra clte, owing to the scarcity of bitumin ous coal. The quantity of coal going to market represents the maximum production. There are neither cars or motive power to move a greater ton nage, and further. If there was abund ant transportation, the mines are so hampered by the general scarcity of miners nnd laborers, that they would not be nble to add to their output, and In event of cold weather th"ie are no surplus stocks which can be drawn upon. With the demnnd greater than the supply, It Is evident that no lower prices can be looked for until t-prlng, since even should the working time In January, February and March be In creased, the excess over the norm" I consumption during thus? months would not be more than sutllelent tn meet the extraordinary demand and bring stocks to a safe amount.
