paiee COAL TRADE. Statistics of the Year's Production---Rates of Mining and Transportation---Present Condi- tion of the Market---The Tripartite Alli- ance for Swindling---The Natural Remedy for the Monopoly, ‘The Octoner effort to force up the price of coal is Ykely, by way of reaction, to affect the winter Pricesunfavorably to dealers; and at the last Scran- ton Bale the downward tendency was not to be re- sisted by any combination of bulls. The cold wea- ther, in mercy to tie public, was delayed too long. Ina Word, the eemenis were unaccommodating to the speculators; and, while coal exhtbited an advance at the October sale over the September rates, this advance has been inore than offset by the November depression. Late reporis represent the Pniladelphia Market as depressed and dw, witha downward tendency, Some of the Scivuylkill mmes have already shut down, and others will follow the ex- ample immediately. Boston reports note a dull trade with a congested market and a ten dency to depression ia prices, From the mi- ing regions operators have been pushing forward stocks on hand wiili the utmost pozsibie rapidity, in view of the immiucut closing of navigation. About the middle of Octover the retull business began to be very active, with an upward tendency. in prices, when the oiler of grate and egy coal at $7 50 and of stove coal at $8 (delivered) brought down rates a little, to the greai nervousueSs of retailers, who had bought at the eurly October rates. Dealers have re- mated the tendency with every device. A comparison of the November rates at ihe mines exhibits a basis of $3 75 per ton as the average of the month, ‘Which 1s an advance of twenty-five per cent on the May rate ($3), as fixed at Port Carbon last spring. The season began with a price for coal at the mines fixed upon an average of $3 per ton, In August the average was advanced to $8 25, 4p October to $3 59, in November to $3 75, Upon the May basis the rates of wages were fixed at $14 per week for miners; $12 for inside laborers, and $11 for outside laborers. At $375 per ton at mines a3 a basis of prices, taking all considerations into account, coal cannot be delivered in the New York market at less than $7 per ton, and, naturaliy, cannot be retailed at less than $5 60 to $9 per ton. An examination of the routes reveals the following schedule of transportation rates to the New York market. By rau turee routes are practicabie at cost a8 aubjoined:— ROUTE No, 1.

Total. : ‘These rates are a tritle improved by using canal transportation, but not materially. by way of the Schuyikili Canal the cost of trausporteuon is $2 90; by the other two routes it is even higher than by rail, They are:— BY LEUIGH CANAL. toboken, BY DELAWARE AND canal... Delaware ivision canal, ee and Karian iG It will be seen from these figures that the average fate 18 about $5 25. It could be easiiy demonstrated— Was, in fact, recently demoustrated by a practical Yallroad man in a somewhat exhaustive paper—that at halt the present rates of trausportation railroads tapping the coal regious migit deciare large divi- dends; but the fact that ceriaiu routes hold a mo- nopoly of the business has kept the experiment from being tried. A proposed through trafic railroad from the Schuylkili region to New York bay was surveyed in 1868 and pronounced practicable; but, so far as learned, tie project has never been practically endorsed by captiatists to the extent of paying in the nceded moneys. The distance to the bay by tis route from Mount Carbon ig only 127 miles, with oniy two points invoiving grades adverse to trade, Ai these points, however, a train of 120 cars carrying four anda half tons r car, Could be transporied over at an expense of nree and a half cents per ton. The application of steam tv the propuision of caual boats by the Phila- deiphia Transportation and Kretght Company jast year, was also interpreted us a forerunner of a iall in rates of transportation. ‘Tlis was atiempted in comnection with the Schuyikiil Canal. Tne resuit was a demonstration that boats could be propelied by steam at as low a rate as nine cents a mile against twenty-three cents by horse power, and with o gain 4n speed of six miles an gour. ‘Tis would have ren- dered tt poxsibie vo deliver coal in this city at about eighty ceuts per ton, aud would have Kept the first ost of coal in the New York markes under $4 a@ton, The great drawback to reduciton in coal 18 found tn the transportation companies, and as these are leagued in practical comvination, besides own. ing large coal properties, there is no remedy, no an- lote Aguinst high prices except economy of con- sumption. With proper economy coal can be mined profitably at $2 75, OF perhaps at $2 60, a ton; with pepe economy of management it can be delivered city at $3 76 oF $3 50, Lie present Cost ai tne mines; aud of tuese two facis every practical econo mist who has iooked into the subject at all 1s per- aware. The American railroad interest ts on She eve of an agitation riative to the question of freight and passenger is WhicD cannot but prove beneficial to the business circulation of the country, © agitation of the subject has already begun in Englana, and a vast amount of material has been collated. in france and Belgium, where the roads are managed by the government, the expert- ment of iow tariffs has been tried, with te result of rendering the roads more pean to the government; and Ww a8 been found that ireigni and passenger circuia- tion increased more than in just ratio to the reduc- tion. Those who are curious to pursue the invesit- gation may consult the oficial reports of continental Fajiro ids, Or give @ Week's sturiv to English expert ments On a sinall scale, looking to the determmuation of the question; and, in the meantime, the topic may be reserved for the subject of a separate paper. In the present condition oi tho mining interest, 16 is probable that, with econumy, coal can be mined &t $2 60 per ton, furnishing, as ‘has Neen remarked, fair wages to Workimen aus fair profit to capitalists; and there ts certainty no reason why tt should not be retaiied in tie New York market at five doliars per ton in the present coudition of transporwcion routes. The putting of the r@iroad interes, unier whe supervision of we general government would afford a remedy for the gore of one horn of the evil, which adjusted, the oluer and minor cause would adjust ttselt easily enough. The question of tari could then be made the subject of @ rigid Invesiiga- tion, and settled upon w vusis of justice to pubic interest and the interesis of trade, as well as juecice the stockholders. It 18 diMcuit to nnuerstand what effect a repeal of the tari could have, vy Con , Other than to stop American production. It ingland, without tariff, can deliver coal m whe New York market at five dollars per ton, then, at the nt rates of transportation, i English coat comes into the market ie Aimerican interest must ‘be abandoned, ‘Ihe great anitracite regton of Penn- sylvania, east of the mountains, could no more compete with English coat producers than with roducers of iugiish irom, ‘the reuson 1s founa in the relative rates of wages paid, end noo in any want oi skill on the part of the American producer. ‘Tue natural advan. tages for mexpensive production are about equal in all respects, Hieven days inbor produces a ton ot tron in Hngland, on the average; and, on the ave- rage, the same jabor produces ® muarketabie ton here. ‘The difference im the cost of production is caused by the small remuneration of the labor in 7a a and the large rewiuneration in uns country. The production of the Scbuyikill basin this year has exceeded that of 1864 by 600,000 tor and the assertion (hat, in general, the production 18 sort of the demand and less cian that of last year is not true, a8 Is proved by the statisives.

A New Suit by Fisk, Jr.—He Claims $50,000 Damages. A sutt was commenced in the United States Courts Jast spring by one Apna Sperry, the holder of cer- tain preierred stock of Erie, against the corpora- tion, and some ailidayits were then published going toshow that the plaintiff and her husband had but little interest im the suit and acted under the dicta- tion of other parties, Mr. Fisk bas pow commenced a suit against those parties, of which the following is the compfaint Supreme Court, City and County of New York— Tames Fisity Jv. Cornelins S. Bushnell, Wilam M. Watie, Louis H, Bristol and Eline 'sperry.— dames Fisk, Jr, plaintif, complains and alleges, first, toat on or about the bth day of April, 1869, Anua Sperry, the wife of the deiena- aut Elinu Sperry, was, or claimed to be, the owner of a number of shares of preferred stock of tie Erie Railway Company, a corporation created by and existing under the laws of the State of New York, Of waich corporation the piaintiff then was a duector and the comtrolier. Second, that on or about the ume aforesaid the delendants Bushnell, White aud Bristol, beingshostile to the plainiur for various reasons, and especially because in certain legal proceedings undertaken by the piaintut in tis court the plunders and robbertes of the gaid Busi. nell, assisted by ocuera, of the Treasury of the Uniied Mates and of the stockholders of the Union Paciiic Railroad Company in connection with the manage- ment of said road, had been partially made punlic and appeared likely to be further developed, eatered into a conspiracy and combination to annoy, aarass and defame the plaintuf, and to that ena they deter- mined to procure @ sult to be brought tn some court against the krie Railway Commpauy, or against tac piamuir alone or with others, wherein they migut ilie @ complaint or @ declaration charging ali manner of things ainst the piaintir, making various false accusations against him, which they would procure to be published in the news- payers, (nus shielding or attempting to shicla them- selves iro the legal consequences of a libel under the pretence that such compiaint or aeciaration was a legitimate legal document and inducing the news- papers, in their legal reports, to spread whatever scandals and falseioods they might choose to insert in such paper gratia, broadcast over the land. Third, that in pursuauce of said combination snd conspiracy they determiued to yet some resident of @ State olner than New York as a pialntift for two reasons; frst, because their snit might thus pe brougnt in the United States Court, where, by reason of the great and increasing delays, it might be kept habging for years, and second, ause the person to bring said suit being out of the reach of the State courts or of tue Knowledge of the piamiit and obscure aud unknown, could not be reached, nor cout te true history of his connec: tion with said transaction be brought to light, Fourth, that alter searciing for some person to carry out their petty and contemptible scheme, whereby Bushnell might keep nis name concealed and yet might accomplish hie hbellous and detama- tory ends aforesaid, they discovered the defendant Sperry, and by wn offer of profit induced nim to co-operate With thé under an agreement between White ou oue side, acting for himself and said Bush- nell and Bristol, aad the ceiendant Sperry and his wife on the other side, substaniiaily as follows:— ‘that Mr. and Mrs. Sperry should, at the request of sald White, give a power of atiorney to said Bristol authorizing hun (sad Bristol) to nse said shares of Stock for purposes of stut or otherwise, and that said White should save said Sperry and wile harmiess from any expense or cost in connection with said sult; that White should have toe option of buying the said shares of stock at any ume within twe months at a certain price (he aod the other conspirators hoping auc expecting that their proposed black- mailing operations would induce the plaintif and others to bly UD said stock at an extravagant price), and that auy protit derived trom any eettiement of the sala proposed suit should deiong to sata White. Fifth, that an agreement to the effect aforesaid was signed and carried out, and a suit was commenced in the name of the said Wiiuu Sperry and Auna Sperry, tu tie Circuit Court of the United states for the Southern district of New York, against tie Brie Rallway Company, which suit was really brouglit solely for the purposes of blackmalling and delama- tion aforesaid, and the defendants Bushnell, Whice and bristol using the detendant Sperry as their tool and stalking-horse, caused to be inserted in the declaration therein ath _man- ner of lying, contempt false aud acandalons AccusutiOns against the plainti? and others, which they weil knew to be totally irrelevant to the pre- tended conse of action and to be untrne, and caused that declaration to be published far and wide in tne newspapers of the land, under the pretence that the same was a legitimate judicial proceeding.
