Output Still Curtailed, but This Will Not Contlnua Long. Today's Philadelphia Ledger: The anthracite coal trade continues the policy of curtailing the output so as to keep the production approximately down to the demand and not to stock up too extensively. This, however, will cot be kept up much longer, as the autumn will witness an Increased demand, and thus a larger tonnage can be marketed.

The July output was kept down to about 3,700,000 tons by availing of holidays, strikes and other cessations from work In the anthracite field. The policy of curtailment. however, is causing considerable dis content among the miners and other laboring classes and may make trouble. The advanced price of 10 cents per ton for August is fully maintained and another 10 cents per ton advance comes Into effect on Sept. 1.

The trade presents practically nothing that Is new. Shipments from tide and up the lakes are only moderate and the districts thus served are said to be getting reduced in their stock of coal. The total output of coal for the seven months of the current year ending with July Is 31,061,000 tons, compared with 26,278,100 tons In the correspond ing period of 1900, being 'an Increase of 4.782,900 tons. The general Impres sion Is that about 4,000,000 tons will be mined In August Brlght's best flour, 14.50. at Grace's.

KING REX'S JOURNEY. Has Left New Orleans for the Saratoga Floral Fete. New Orleans. Aug. 12.

King Rex has left here to attend the floral fete to be held at Saratoga Springs on Sept. 3 5. He was attended by a bun dred courtiers and scores of pretty maids. The departing reception given him by New Orleans showed Rex to be every Inch a King. The whole city united in giving Rex such a reception as will make him glad to get back to New Orleans after the Saratoga festivities, No Mardl Gras crowd ever treated King Rex more chivalrously than he was treated today.

At a banquet given King Rex here last week His Highness said he proposed to duplicate the New Orleans Mardl Gras at Saratoga and open the eyes of the North to the gorgeous and beautiful way in which celebrations were conducted in sunny Louisiana. For weeks past the royal palace has been the scene of din and bustle in preparation for King Rex's departure for Saratoga. Two months ago his re splendent floats, golden chariots and bejeweled processional robes were sent to the New York watering place so that today the King and his retinue were left alone to go. The start was made at 9 o'clock amid a blaze of trumpets, a clatter of horse's hoofs, and a thunderous peal of farewell from the belching mouth of a hundred guns. A thousand parti colored butterflies were let loose from velvet boxes as King Rex appeared at the high archway of tbe palace grounds and in their wake were lib erated a hundred milk white doves, which cooed and fluttered near as the grand pageant filed out The procession was preceded by the royal band of ninety pieces, and a company of the King's own knights in their gorgeous uniforms.

King Rex rode a snow white stallion with gold trappings. Around him were 100 of his courtiers, who will accompany him to Saratoga. Those knights rode coal black horses with silver ornaments, and behind them came a battalion of the King's soldiers in the shape of a hollow square, containing the carriages in which rode, the ladles of the kingly party. Rex wore a golden tnreaoeo robe, surrounded by a flowing purple cape, something In the fashion of a bishop's cape. His head was protected by his jewel crown, and in his hand he held the glittering scepter with ten thousand Jewels, that was onre owned by Julius Caesar and which has ever been the great magnet for all eyes at the Mardi Gras parades.

From his saddle streamed scores of c.uerent col ored ribbons held by young boys and girls, dressed as nymphs, cupids and mermaidn. The attendants wore the regulation purple uniforms and rode with uncovered heads. Mowers were strewn in the path of the calvacade and fair ladles showered the courtiers with handsfttl of roses. The city wore its holiday dress. The King's flag mingling with the colors of the royal bunting floated from win dow and from flagstaff.

Whistles screeched as the procession moved along. Guns boomed dull messages ol fond farewell, and people everywhere shouted until the welkin rang with the cry, "Long live the King." A tremendous demonstration greet ed the calvacade as it approached the depot. City and State officials were thereto bid Rex farewell, and the soldiers had great difficulty In keeping the crowd back so as to make way for the king and his party. Hey day fire works filled the air wit their glitter and sputter and lightnings and smoke, and the six bands in the parade united in a grand chorus of "Dixie" and then "The Star Spangled While this uproar was at its height the engine of the special train whistled its starting notes, and King Rex had started on his long trip to Saratoga. His train consists of splendidly ap pointed cars, with the most expert oticed attendants, On board are all the ht.inhlK and ladies who have made the New Orleans Mardi Cras Ihe eighth wonder ol the world, and now propose to make the Saratoga floral fete the ninth.

King Rex proposes to take his time about reaching Saratoga, and will make bis long trip in easy stages, stopping off at the principal cities along the route. Bids for Town Hall.
