Patton Has Been Well Favored Compared to Many Flaces. It is noticed by the newspaper re ports that Jarmary has hsen a very dull month in ihe coal trade in the eastern markets. Prices are down and the demand is very slow: in some cities the quantity of bitaminous coal mark- eted is abort one-half the amount bandied during the corresponding period one vear ago. The effact of that state of affairs is particularly ‘noticeable in this region. as the pro: duct known. as the Beech Creek coal has no other than the eastern market, - owing to the want of a Yve north tha i is in sympathy with the operas ‘along the Beech Creek line, and the relative distance the field lies from the lake ports. Following are references. to the trade in two eastern cities from ~. the Bituminous Record which represent truly the situation in general in ‘the "east: In Philadelphia the bituminous busi- ness continues dull, but the shippers are very confident that they will be in it this year. They have very likely re. ceived a hint that the railroad ecom- panies will afford them an opportanity of regaining the busness they lost last year through the inability to meet prices offered by shippers over other roads. The receipts of coal at the port of Boston for the week ending January 8th, were 37,261 tons of anthracite and 10,841 tons of bituminous, against 20. 481 tons of bitominous for the earres- ponding week last year. The Beech Creek road has empty cars standing on the sidetracks gow, which is an unusual sight up in this ter ritory, and the mines in the Houtzdale ‘region have been doing less this month . than at any time previous when the stagnation was not due to local canses. Only a strike or lockont could make business in that vicinity quieter than it is now. Patton has been guite weil favored for months past, as compared - to other coal towns. The mines. while ‘doing poorly in many other places were doing well here. The Patton wines are making short time now, but as good as could be expected at a period of such unprecedentel depres. sion in the coal trade. - One of the worst features that has presented itself is the general reduction in the price of m'ning which has taken ‘place in this entire district, including the DuBois region. But it came with the other ills of low tide in trade and the mines are left to hope for an early improvement which will make more probable a restoration of the old rates. Sorae of the operators along this line place the blame of the general reduc tion upon the Bell Lewis & Yates com- pany, that great corporation, they claim, ‘were first fo cut to enable them to se cure contracts, and {he others were com- | pelled to follow to get business. There seems to be a plapsable theory in it us ‘ that company was enabled but a few months ago to reach tide-water with its product by the opening of the (lear- field and Mahoning, the new division of the B., R. and P. system from Du- Bois to Cleardeld. ‘the new field for trade they became As they entered new competitors for business.

A delightfully informal affair was the opening of the new Palmer house Wednesday, January 31st, with a six o'clock dinner. The —_— structure wis ablaze with lights and erowded with the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Rob- inson. The aspect of the house was worthy any grand opening snd the warmth of their reception testified to the high place Mr. and Mrs. Robinson have won both persanally and profes. . sionally in publis appreciation and esteem. The big dining room wus: perhaps the c¢entre of attraction. The table decorat nz were artistic and elegant, and the dinner such as would tickle the palate of any epicure. [a the centre of each table was placed a bain guet lamp with silken shades which spread their mellow revs over the tables and produced a wondeérinlly harmeni- ous effect. : Bitten: by 5 Dow.
