There was a very active market this morning. All
the leading fances were in demand, and the pur
chases appeared to be in unusually large lots. A
moderate enquiry existed for government aud State

Nicaragua Trust Company hos had great influence
On the stock. md il IS steadily moving up. There
was a sale to-day on time, buyers option, at one

veins in this coal region receives most satisfactory
reports from its mining engineer, relative to the i'm
proving quality of the coal as the openings extend
into the mountain. The six feet vein, upon which
the company is now working lies within few hun
bred feet Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and at
convenient height for the arrangement of its dump
ing houses, shutes, &c. SO that the coal may be dis
charged directly into the cars below. This vein be-
ing one Of the lowest in this coal field, and having
almost the entire weight of the mountain mass rest
ing upon it, besides its ready access is adjudged to
be Of the most compact and superior quality. The
arrangements Of this company are now far CON-
pleted that soon as the turnout connecting the
mines with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
finished We may expect ample supplies of their COAL
and the holders of stock may then look forward to
remunerating dividends at az early u date as the
most favored companies Of this region.
