The meeting was foand 10 be quite in favor of ad- vancing the price of hard ccal. providing it was practicable, the only tronble being that each coal- dealer prescnt appeared dubious as 10 the practical intent of hus neighbor. **If you sy so. then I say £0," w2 pretty nearly the sentiment of the assemi- Dblage. Mr. Law was against any advance, Mr. Hathawsy wanted to rafsc tho price to S7 per tou. There were various reasons given on ot tides of the question, reasone which are simply of moment 10 coal-deglers. It wns erated by scveral of the principal dealers present that they were losing money at the present rate, Mr. Law wanted to know of Mr, Hathaway what_commission he was Ruing to pay 10 the small dealers. Mr. Hathaway #poke & greatdeal, butdid not answer the ques- tion. Finally the motion to adopt the resolution ad- vancing the prics 1057 per ton was carried by a vote of 10 104, but there were four members who declined to vote at all, among whow were some im- portant representar] Mr. Law was amongthe four who voted No. The resolution was paseed, but the matter was left, after all, just where it was when the meeting sssembled, for immodiately a wranglo began s to whether the dealers would abido by the decision of the majority. and it very quickly appezred that they would not. 3r. Law 3tated cmphatically thiat hewould not be bound by it, but would sefl his coal at his old price. Some other motions were made, and passed. and rescinded, referring mainly 1o the commissions the members wonld be willing to allow to the dealers, but they resulted in no definite action. In fact, It appeared that, eveu if there had been decisiye action taken, it would not afect the mar- ket, since every dealer was determined to do what any other merchant doee,—sell to the best ud- vautage 1o himself. ++What, after all," snid'a re- porter to one of the members, **can [ tell the pub- Jic about what you have done?
