PENNSYLVANIA COAL Trapg.—The coal trade, like almost every other business, opens lowly and ts dull. ‘The general cause atelgned for this is the inaction of Congress on the ques- tion of the currency.

Many-causes con- | spire to depress trade and enterprise which only time can cure. An essential part in the reaamp- tion of active business is confidence in the tature, and contidence is of slow growth. Those interested in the trade are generally lowering their estimates of the current year's market for coal, and yet coal is an essential to life Bi | cannot fail off so largely as to materially affect it as one of the leading interests of the country. ‘The total production of anthracite in 1373 was twenty-two and three-quarter millions of tons, of which about three and a quarter millions of tons were consumed in the coal regions, leaving nineteen and a@ half millions for the market. | The demand is estimated to increase annually ten per cent., and taking a series of years together it does not increase that much.
