A report in regard to business inter
ests comes from Dushore, which in
cludes the statement that W. W. Jack
son has leased as a trustee to M. J.
Murray, P. H. Mongan and A. J. Mur
ray, capitalists of Scranton, the G. W.
Jackson estate, and the company will
open operations for developments of
coal on the estate, which is located not
far from Dushore. The gentlemen who
have secured the lease have formed a
stock company, with a capital of $200,
000, of which $150,000 is Immediately
available to develop the resources of
the newly discovered coal Held, Two
shafts will be sunk to a depth of 110
feet each and a breaker erected having
a capacity of 1,000 tons dally. It Is evi
dent that the company means business
from the start and Is not going to
allow any time to elapse from the
signing of the lease until they have es
tablished another flourishing mining
town for Sullivan county. To this end
the contract has been let for fifty
dwellings to shelter the miners and
laborers who will bo attracted to the
works. A railroad will also be built
from tho mine to a point on the Lehigh
Valley railroad between Lopez and
Bernlce. Tho property glvesi every in
dication of developing into a success
ful coal field. There Is a well-defined
vein of coal seven feet thick, from
which hns been taken anthracite of a
much better nnd harder quality than
that mined at Bernlce. A drift has al
ready been dug Into tho hill, from
which hundreds of tons have been
taken since the discovery In 1808, and
there seems to be plenty of It. The
location is in tho township of Colley,
and it will follow ns a natural eonso
quenco that Dushore will become the
trading metropolis of the new region.
The gentlemen concerned are practical
coal operators and something Import
ant may surely be expected, as they
aro backed by the necessary capital.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Bevlew.
New York, Dec. 23. TIip history of todjj's
stock market does not materially ditrer ironi that
nt siieeceding dajs for a long time past. "1 hat
is to say selling to take prohts cumc on the
niaiket like u flood In the opening dealings ami
the pro(eslnal bean, constantly watchful for
the first nigii of tho reaction which they know
must inevitably come offeied prices down in an
attempt to dislodge long stock. Their clfurts'
weie defeated, m they bad been on many pro loin
occasions, by tin supporting orders which came
into the stocks attacked and the new points of
strength whkh were confidently marshalled from
among the stocks which have not yet enjoyed
any considerable tiocm. The point wherein to
day's market differed from the exchange history
was that the profit taking was renewed in forcq
before the close and the unsettled continued tin.
tit the raiding ceased. The failure of the money
market to harden was the occasion of a strong
rally from the opening break In which People's
Cias, Brooklyn Transit ind Sugar were forced
down from Hi to :i points. The striking fea
ture of the buoyant market which prevailed dur
ing tho middle portion of the session was flic
inconstancy of the strength and demand for
special stocks. A rapid price movement In an
Individual Mock would be followed by a sharp
reaction, while the speculative demand would
shift hurriedly to other quartern. A few min
utes' consultation between traders on the floor
would result in the formation of a pool to take
all offerings In some inconspicuous stock. After
these were absorbed the price would ho rapidly
bid up 1 or 2 or .1 points. Such a maneuver
never failed to attract a horde of secuUtive
followers hut Ing orders coming from both within
and without the exchange. These short time
fiools had nn difficulty in liquidating their hold
ngs at a handsome day's profit. The list of
stocks in which this operation occurred includes
many of the high grade railroad stocks, as well
as those known in stock exchange parlance as cats
and dogs. An incident of the day was the rise
in St. Paul above Burlington. This supremacy
was contested, the friends nf nurlington raltjing
the stock again to ahove St. Paul, but the latter
stork within n half of the top and above
Burlington. The late reaction in the market was
unexplained by any special incident and w
evidently due merely to a general desire to con
vert paper profits securely Into cash. Total sales,
