mIeh apathy o1kthe part Of operatoD TIRE was
no material variation in prices compared with those
current at the close on saturday; but the market
has NO lie, and the faneies must drop down to q
much lower level, from the want of action on the
part Of holders. The only way to give activity to
speculation TO let prices down several per cent and
then outside buyers might lie attracted. The market
closed this afternoon heavy, and with a decided
downward tendency. The only stock on the list
which has any signs of life is Morris Canal and that
looks as though little proper care and management
would give it great strength. ..,. t

We have been requested, by those Interested in the
coal companies mining the big vein on Georges
creek and the Potomac river, to distinguish their
coal, par erce1eace, Wssternport COAL in order to
avoid the general prejudice which has been created
against the coal sent from the Frosburg section Of
the coal fields, known as Cumberland COAL which I'M
fortunately intermixed with large seams Of slate,
The existence Of which always indicates inferior
formation. ,...asll.o atit-.,s.
The rairoad--which has been taken up under the
most favorable auspices of the State Of Virginia-iu
tended to connect the Westernport coal fields with
Alexandria, near Paddytown, on the Potomac, about
twenty miles west of Cumberland, will be sixty miles
shorter and Of easier grades than the Baltimore and
Chic Railroad, giving to the Westernport companies
decided advantage over those sending coal from
Cumberland. /!
The Miners Journal Of the 26th March reports
the quantity of coal sent from Frostburg at 1856
tons, and for the week ending the I'd Of April 700
tons were sent down, making the entire aggregate
receipts at Cumberland, for the quarter ending
April 2, s3,44G tons-the whole produce of seven
mining associations.
The special business of the Cumberland Company,
for the week ending the 26th of March, was 3,64S
TONS and for the week ending the I'd April 3,l2i
exhibiting decrease Of 524 tons, which is, beyond
doubt, occasioned by the deficiency Of coal ship
ping tonnage at Baltimore and Alexandria, notwtf
standing the high rate Of freight per ton being two
dollars to New York and Boston, and two and half
TO Portland
The earnings Of the Cincinnati, Hamilton AMI
Dayton Railroad Company, during the month Of
