very little doubt but that the course Of the market
ceedingly tight TO day, and there was good deal Of
shining around the street. Stock hypothetical
stands poor chance, and holders are daily called
upon to pay up, or make good the margin. We I'M
derstand that largo quantities Of Cumberland are
hypothecated at dfty per cent and the probability
is that heavy lots viii come out when that point is
reached.

The attempt to do away with the increasing limit
ed coal business Of the Cumberland is absurd as it
Is untrue, and the ridiculous effort to give an
appearance Of great magnitude % their trade, BY
blending with the transportation over their own road
that which Is sent from the Frostburg mines, is pal
pable fraud The falling OIL is attributed to strike
Now, let us see how the facts hold out The strike
took place last week. consequently did not affect the
business antecedent to that time; and as no report
has been received since that Of the week preceding
that Of the 10th February the remedy does not suit
the disease. When we get the returns ending the
26th February, the strike may then show its infu-
enee. It is the prevalent opinion that the company
must eventually become embarrassed. The transac-
tons Of the managers do not seem to bear the test Of
close scrutiny. The public never can be satisfied
with the sale Of the companys capital stock at
twenty-five per cent discount, for the purpose ofpay
ing of the bonds held by the directors, which had
been dshonored by the failure of the Maryland
Mining Company, and purchased at . heavy discount
by the getters up of the Cumberland Company Let
us look little further, and ask how the large sum
of $500, 900 due banker-(who refused to compro
mise, and considered himself as much entitled to
ceive his pay in full any Of those more intimately
connected with the management Of the company's
affairs)- to be raised?
