There will, of course, be no heavy selling of coal until the weather becomes much colder than at present, but a great many furnaces have been started and the trade with the companies is on a steadily improving basis. The chief actiity is in the stove size. Shipments of anthracite by lake for October were smaller at this port than they were a year ago, the amounts being respectively 564,160 and 759300 tons. The present season's however, greatly, exceed those of 1912. It is expected that this month, which will mark the end of the season except for-, a.

few days after December 1st, will be an acihreone in the lake coal In the bituminous market there" Is. a fair demand, but it is not as strong as a short time. ago, although. production 'with' some of the is still less than they would' like in or der to keep contracts filled. Dealers and operators look for some stiff prices this winter and predict that there will be a marked car shortage.

Strikes and labor troubles in this sec tion of the field is reducing the output considerably.

Partially crippling transportation facilities in this section, and causing endless trouble for the wiremen of the two telephone and telegraph companies, the first snow, will be remembered for some time.

Teported all wires down to New York, Columbus and Cleveland, while the. Postal company was tied up by thtf storm to all "points from Pittsburgh.

The B.

P. railway is. experiencing the greatest traffic -movement ftt-its Every locomotive and ev-i ery other piece of available rolling' stock 'has been pressed into service1 and a great number of new men atef being employed. During the last three months 100 new brakemen, 60 new firemen have been into ser vice and many of the old employee have been As mentioned in the Gazette recent- ly, the railway has placed an ordecO with the Cambria Steel of Johnstown for 1,000 all-steel The work will be ''completed soon anda early.

As previously Stated 'iaUwa has ordered sufficient all-steel sei fei cars and observation cars so thai when the new: order is received al: trains, on the entire system sist of all-steel equipment thxougnoniL This is in line with the "safety first--; slogan that is receiving attention from all the railway companies at present: The work of installing the aute- matic block and signal system be- tweeri Falls Creek and Punxsiitawnef is proceeding and it is believed that some time during this month the man" uals will be in working order. The system is somewhat similar to the one now in operation between Falls Creek and Ridgway, which has proven so successful. With the automatic block system and the dispatching of trains by tele-phone and the all-steel equipment, to- gether with the high efficiency of the officials and employes, the railway has taken great strides toward "safe- -ty first." Between the fifteenth and twentieth of this month the B. P. expects to receive 27 all-steel passenger cars which were ordered some time ago.

The consignment includes cafe. cars and all are of the most improved, construction. They will be put into operation immediately, after their arrival. Another order, which has been placed in addition to that of 1,000 all- steel hopple cars calls for 3,501 steel under-frames. These underframea will be applied to the company' shops in DuBois.
