scHuYLKnL Coal REGION. The increase of
trade in the Schuykill coal region, has been seadi-
y and rapidly progressive, and facilities tor extend
every year. We apprehend that few persons, out
of the region, are acquainted with the necessity
which exists in many instances, for mining below
the water level. and the consequently enormous
heavy expenses constantly occurring for raising the
coal and draining the mines. There are already %
coeres below the water level
The following table shows the number of steam
engines employed for these purposes at the differ

MONEY MARKET.


SunQoy, June I'D f. Ne
The stock market for the week just closed has been
very nuctuatng but closed heavy decline from pri-
ces current during tho week. On Tuesday last i'm
provement in quotations was experienced, but 1t was
lost on the following day. and since there has been
steady falling OF appears almost impossible to get
up any permanent improvement in the stock market
The sales and prices for day two may give hopes Of
apermanent advance but change comes over the
face OF things, and all hopes abandoned Although
quotations for stocks have for the past three or Jour
months been steadily declining, there are many
operators in the street anxious for farther depreca-
tion and making great efforts daily to depress prices to
lower leyel than that already reached. No matter
what may be the state of prices, there will always be
three great parties in stock operations in this market
At this moment those bearing stocks have every thing
in their favor every political movement of any i'm
porance made by any of the principal governments of
Europe, any external internal difficulty of the most
tihing nature invariably affects the stock market un
favorably, and gives the baars advantage the
bulls. in depressing the market. The complex
ion Of our rcations with Mexico, regarding the
Texas question: and with Great Britain regarding Ore
gon has very great influence upon all kinds of stock
securities and keeps the market continually in fever
sh state Quotations cannot improve in the face of these
things and spectators endeavoring to get clear Of
all contracts speedily and easily possible There
being probability of an improv those operating
for an advance have become discouraged and lea
wing the market until favorable occasion. The
hot weather, Also has effect upon operations, in
ducing tho number Of operatorsas many are leaving
town for some comfortable location. We do not
anticipate Improvement until the fall months set in at
least; and, perhaps, not even then.
We annex comparative table, giving the quotations
for stocks in this market for each day during thu past
week, compared with those at the close of the
week previous twill be that in ofthe fancy
