II is n grievcus mistake. i do not hesi-
tate TO say that not one OF them would
stand a moderate earthquake shock. But
if the steel was used with built girders or
beams similar to the style Of bridge build
ing it would require a shock heavy
enough to displace the foundation TO de-
stroy any of these big structures.
The present laws are unfair to heavy
Investors. The great value Of ground In
New York city demands the erection of
tall buildings. Investors are, therefore,
entitled to the greatest amount of security
and worth for the money they put into
buildings. The time will come when
money lenders viii! inquire whether
buildings are constructed with cast iron
or with rolled steel, and perhaps thirty
per cent. more will be advanced on steel
rolled structure han on any OF the pres
ent cast iron type. Insurance companies
writing policies.
The recent Manhattan Bank Building
fire is no fair criterion In the way of a
test OF metallic construction. A similar
construction of modern design and fairly
protected would have shown results quite
d different.
The wonder is that the. law permits the
use Of cast iron In building at all.
The law requires that the strength OF all
columns and posts shall be computed ac-
cording to Cord on's formul a, yet the use
of the Gordon formula has been abandoned
for years by experienced designers. 1t is
considered simply semi-criminal IN bridge
building to use cast iron. Why, therefore,
should the law protect and even encourage
the use Of it in the erection OF buildings
which cover hundreds OF human beings
daily? The Legislature now in session at
Albany should be asked to amend the
building laws SO that no discrimination
would be made against the use Of rolled
steel by builders. 1t is Of the utmost
interest to investors and the public.
With equitable and just legislation on
that point contractors will be able to sub
stItute rolled steel for cast iron without
extra expense and at the same time in
crease the value Of bu ildings thirty per
cent. and their safety a thousand fold.
That may sound somewhat radical, but
any disinterested engineer will confirm
what l have told you.
In Providence the recommendations
which engineer Thomson makes for New
York are very generally carried out. Thu
authorities at the Builders Iron Foundry
say that the local demand changed from
cast iron to rolled steel about four years
aga and that now nc one would think Of
putting up a building skeleton with cast
iron columns than they would think of
putting up a cheap wooden tenement in
the ''close fire district" Ibis foundry
did not have a single call sfor cast iron
building material during the year 1895.
The heavy columns which are being put
UP for the frame work Of the Grosvenor
building, and which attract an interested
crowd to Turks Head at all hours of the
day, are of rolled steel from the Carnegie
works, and SO are all the columns, beams
and Orders In the Industrial Trust build
ing, the Telephone building and the
Francis and Lauderdale buildings.

The Boston Globe in commenting On
the result of the trial trip of the new
United States cruiser Brooklyn. recently
launched at the Philadelphia shipyards of
VIM Cramp & Sons, SAYS:
1.-The trial trip of the United States
cruiser Brooklyn was indeed a decided
success, and not little of this can be Mt
tributcd to the fuel used-the Pocahontos
bituminous coal
1.-The Cramps take no chances in the
choice of fuel; they know from past ex.
pericnce that this coal is the most sumo
rior and reliable fuel in this country
hence they will use no other.
This coal, which has now reached thc
height OF its fame, has most remarkable
record III the history of the trade. The
hrst mine was opened in 1888, the shin
ments that year amounting to only 5000
tons. In 1884 there were thirty-eirht
collleries in operation, whose output lin
Guiding tonnage converted into coke ag-
gregated 1900, 600 tons.
Not only is it famous for the immense
growth of its tonnage, but its reputation
has also increased, until in the present
day 1t enjoys the unique distinction of
having been indorsed officially by the
United States naval and war departments
as the best American steam producing

N The WORLD OF FINANCE
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Sept 4.-The stocl, market
to-day was uniformally strong and Il
moderate volume of business was well dis
tributed. Sugar led the list in point of
activity and gave tone to the general specu-
lation, on the evidence of manipulation
upward by the powerful inside interests
in the property. London was also con-
siderable factor, turning to the bull side
after its recent persistent selling The
operations from this quarter, as we'll az
the domestic dealings, had, however, Il
strong professional flavor. An encour-
aging development also was increasing
activity and pronounced strength in the
railway bond market on investment pur-
chases. Around delivery hour fractional
concessions had occurred, but in the late
dealings renewed strength was displayed.
The extreme gains ranged from la3 per
cent. The market closed strong at mod
crate concessions from the best figures
of the day.
