RIFLE FACToRY-MACHINE SHOPS OF THE
BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC gAILRoAD-IN-
TEREsT ON MONEY.
A meeting OF the committee on manufactures
OF the legislative assembly was held at Metze-
rCft Hail last evening. Mr.. Augustus Watson
addressed The committee on plan to utilize the
water by placing an accumul ating reservoir in
the city, which might be hlled at night, as sug-
gested by him some months since. He proposed
TINS plan as substitute for the tlirty.six inch
main, which he predicted would not be laid for
year 10 come, and would cost $1,000. OOO on
his pan he claimed that motive power could be
hau Tor all nght manufactures, including the
sew ing machines, from 5000 to 10 eco in num-
Der. lie conduit is nine feet in diameter and
fourteen mics iong, and could supply the three
mans They had hat one reservoir now, Pow
Ger MlIl branch reservoir having been aban.
doned He would propose the erection OF a res
cryoir moth OF the CITY. in which the water
could be Inn at night. He believed that the
cost would not exceed SlC0 900, and the govern
ment should pay half, and he thought that the
pressure would be so great that the fire DEPART
neht, or at least large portion of it, could be
dispensed with. The water loses force in pro-
portion TO the distance il comes he said and he
urged That the power OF the water should b.
utilized.
Mr.. Eaton stated that he had been in corre-
sfOndence with firm OF New York who propose
TO establish q rifle mandatory here ii they can
meet Win sufhcient encouragement. They pro-
pose to bring their arm to the notice of the rep
resentatiy6s OF the foreign governments bv es-
tatlishiDg the mandatory here and TO place
$1,000 in ii, and to form company with a cap
ital OF $500 900. The arm has been approved by
tie ordnance department and the government
are now manufacturing GOO to test it. 1t Is ex-
ceCdingly simple in its construction.
Dir. Eaton further stated that he had been in
correspondence with Mr.. It. a. Scott, OF tn
pennsylvania Central railroad, and had but little
dcubt from the tenor of SCOTS letters that the
machine shops OF the Baltimore and Potomac
road will be located in this CITY. Mr.. Scott re-
garded this city the proper place for the shops
OF the road.
Mr.. Campbell said that it had appeared to him
that our rates of interest were higher here than
III manufacturing towns north.
Mr.. Eaton said that subject would take care

ACTIVITY AT THE Coal WHAEvEs.-The
resumption OF canal nav gation, and the conSe-
qutnt arrival of boats loaded with coal from
Cumbe. land, have produced great change in
the appearance efthiDgs AZ the coal wharves and
activity and hustle have usurped the place OF

PENNSYLVANIA Coal TRADE.-The report
OF the Pennsylvania coal trade last week
presents more favorable appearance for all
the interests engaged in it than for several
years. The coal production this year, il is
estimated. will exceed that OF the last three and
half millions of tons. The consumption also
is largely increased. which is accounted for by
the great severity of the weather the past win
ter, and the greatly increased activity among
the iron manufacturers. There has been no
change in prices. though there was some talk
among operators last week of advancing them
twenty five cents per ton. As further evidences
of the healthy state of the trade, the men are
their market, and the carrying companies with
their tolls and tonnage.
