The Lodger in its coal article tomorrow will say: "The anthracite coal trade continues quiet and without any increase In the demand for dometlo sizes. The deal ers seem to be of the opinion that tho prices asked are too high under pres ent conditions and are expecting fur ther concessions, hence their absten tion from ordering coal. The spring Is advancing, milder weather Is ex pected, and consumers look upon the situation with complacency, as they do not at present feel the necessity of getting much fuel. This is the cus tomary outlook In the spring, when anthracite Is always dull, and, fully recognizing It, the producing companies are radically curtailing the output so as to prevent accumulations of unsold stocks, and at the same time are mak ing concessions to induce buying.
