The Early Discovery Of Coal.

Bituminous coal. or sea coal. was
known upwards Of a thousands years
ago. In the year $50. but did not come
into general use until the 10th century.
and wrs not used In the manufacture Of
iron until the 18th century. Anthracite
coal came gradually into use 80 late a.
the 10Th century. and was not used a.
fuel in the manufacture Of iron until
about 10 years ago.
SO early AZ 100 anthracite coal was
known to abound In the county Of
Schuylkill. In tho State Of Pennsylvania;
but Il being Of q different quality from
that known a. sea coal or bituminoua
coal. and being hard Of ignition, u was
deemed useless until the year 1875. when
Pennaylvania blacksmith. named
whetstone. brought IL into notice. His
success in burning 10 induced persons 10
dig for IL; but when found, every person
connected with the enterprise bad 10 en-.
pertinent on ita combustion. and vain
we're The attempts 10 burn II By the mr.,
jority Of them. and all came 10 the con.
elusion that Il would not come into sen.
eral use.
About the year 1900. Mr.. Morris. who
had a large tract Of land In Schuylkill
county, Pennsylvania, procured a guam
tity Of coal thercfrom, and took 10 10
Philadelphia city. but he was unable with
all his heroic exertions 70 bring u into
notice, and abandoned all bis plans.
From that time until lsO6 II was talked
about as a humbug; when accidentally a
bed Of coal was found In digging tail

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
Review of the Portland Markets.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING AIIcIsT TX

The markets are generally quiet this week and we
have but few changes to note. The fact is prices
are steadily settling down to solid basis and when
that basis is reached trade will revive In several
instances the state of the supply has been underes
mated, for the pun pose Of keeping up prices but as
the true condition Is revealed the effect is to drop pr
ces much lower than they were BEFORE This is par
tlcularly true Of sugar which has been represented
as scarce, and when it becomes known that it is
plenty prices 60 down with rush. Gold closed
Wednesday, Aug. 18th, at $1.05a.
Apples now come in quite plenty and are quoted at
$496 per Dbl. Beans are firm and without change

them. A few changes Will be noticed in our fdrug
list this week. Opium and morphine are lower.
Duck still continues in fair demand at unchanged
prices The fish market is entirely bare of cod owing
to the long continued spell of bad weather There
has been no cod cured in this vicinity for several!
weeks. A little pleasant weather will soon find the
market well supplied. Mackere are also very scarce
owing to the small numbers taken in this vicinity.
There is no quotabe change to note in fruit Flour
is still rather quiet There is but little of the old
stock in the market and the new crop Is arriving
slowly. Corn is quite plenty and reduction will be
noticed in prices this week. Hay is offering quite
freely at prices ranging from $169ls. Iron is I'M

The Rnm0red Trouble in the Syndicate

New YORK, Aug. 15-The Post says of the
reported trouble in the syndicate: 1t is true
that since the 9th of June, when the per
centum syndicate's operations closed, there has
been trouble between Morton, Bliss & Co. and
certain members of the old Al per centum syn
dictate. These members say that Morton. Bliss
& Co. exceeded the instructions in signing for
them, and that this firm entered into the
present per centum syndicate, leaving their
associates "out in the cold" and have been
partakiDg of the profits of the present syndi
cate to the exclusion of these associates, who
had right to the profits accruiDg from the
placing of at least $1OO,O 600, the amount
which the old syndicate was forced to relin-
quish; and they further say their case and the
case of Morton, Bliss & Co. are in the hands
of lawyers, but no suit has been begun.
Whether or not suit will be begun depends
upon circumstances. 1t is ascertalned there is
no trouble 10 the present syndicate; that the
trouble is simply between one firm of the syn
dictate and several banks and bankers outside;
that the lowest rate for per centum bonds has
been SO SIG, a temporary consequence of some
speculation in Wall street; that these bonds
are to-day at par and slightly above, and the
proposed funding of per oentum bonds in the
per centum bonds will not be in the least
affected by the present condition Of things.
