Greatest SteampoWerp Plant In the
World.

Greatest of all steam mower plants in
the world is that of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company in the new
power house now nearing completion
at Ninety-sixth street and the East
river, says the New York Journal The
simple facts and figures involved in the
description of this mastOdon force for
moving the cable cars on Manhattan
Island are almost beyond comprehen-
sion, and former great feats of steam
engineering become insignificant.
The horse power alone marks rs, 900
The next largest power station in the
country is the Brooklyn Heights Rail-
road company's plant in Brooklyn. 1t
has hor sc power of $4,000. Mark the
comparison.
There will be 81 boilers generating
steam night and day to supply this
monster plant with the requisite force.
Above these boi. ers will be q coal
bin with capacity of 5000 tons,
which, through automatic chutes, will
dump the fuel into the raging furn-
aces in an almost continuous stream.
In the engine-room are eleven great
cross-compound engines, each with
5000 indicated horse power. In this
department. will be grouped the finest
system OF dynamos and powerful eng
ines ever put together under one roof.
Over the marvellous plant for movin z
New Workers from one point to another
rises the largest smoke stack in the
world. There are 3, 400, 900 bricks in
its 353 feet of height. and IS feet meas
ure it's base. The outside diameter, 80
feet above the ground, is 38 feet 10 in
ches. The uniform internal diameter
of the great stack is % feet, and two
elevators are now running inside Of it,
so that materials for its construction
can be carried up. On its top rests q
massive cast iron cap made In 40 seq
ments. It Is large enough to house an
entire family, and could comfortably
be divided into four rooms.
From the outside fsnge 10 lightning
rods point skyward, and are connected
with a metal band which in turn con-
meets with two rods running down the
north and south sides of the entire
chimney. No matter from whence
cometh the lightning stroke, it must
nd one .of the 10 points and go harm
lessly in to the ground below.
This enormous weight of $40 tons
rests on q concrete foundation. which
caps q forest of 1900 4O-foot piles,
which have been driven to an average
depth of 81 feet.
The volcanoes of smoke and flame
from the great furnaces rush
into this stack and the
draught generated through
it's great height keep an eternal suction
going in the furnace rooms.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor If you
cannot get better price for it?
Ans.-As there Is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, SO that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgement on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Cham berlani's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using 1t for years and
have found that it can always be de-
pended upon. They may occasionally
take up with some fashionable novelty

Chairman Clifford moved that the
bills be allowed and warrants drawn to
cover them, but before the motion
could be put W. w. Bridgers was on
his feet and said that he would ask the
council to withhold the bill of A. B.
McKie for the acknowledgment as
Mr.. McKfe had made some agreement
with them in regard to part of the
money to be received from that bill
and he didn't want the bill paid as it
was.
F. Wells Brown of the HERALD said
the bill was made payable to him and he
couldn't see why the bill should not be
paid as the contract with the city had
been carried out. He said that the
contract was made with Mr.. MCKEE
and Messrs. Bridgers and McCutcheon
had had nothing to do with it. He
didn't think the bill should be with
drawn.
Bridgers insisted upon his position,

ton carried.

MARKET BULLISH.

troversy Doomed StocksAgain.

ways and More in Certain
speclalties.

New York, March SO.-Todsy's trans
actions in stocks might fairly be
termed a runaway bull market. The
overwhelming conviction of all oper-
lators on Wall street seemed to be that
peaceful adjustment of the contro-
versy with Spain is probable, Amy of
the minor developments Of the day
which seemed to contradict this as
sumption, to threaten the defeat Of this
outcome were perststently and con-
f1dently ignored
There We're reactions at times during
the day, but these were due merely to
realizing sales by those who were cont
cnt to take a large profit already as
sured. These realizing sales were alb
sorbed without at any time reducing
the level Of prices to last nights close.
The day closed with a buying move
ment In full force, and with prices near
the highest level The days net gains
in the railroad list range from / to 8
points, and in the specialties gains Of
over 5 points in Sugar and nearly 7
points in Metropolitan Street Railway
were scored. Some of the shorts put
out in Mondays bulge were covered to-
day, and perhaps helped on the ad-
vance materially, but the leading infiu-
ence in the market was a rampant
speculative movement.
London was credited with being a
large buyer here. but foreign exchange
failed to reflect the fact, the tone of
exchange being firm. This might be
due to slightly easier time money,
which was no less significant of the
prevailing confidence in q peaceful out
come, than the strength In stocks. Prt-
ces of Americans in London had risen
before the opening here. but cabled re-
ports said that this was due to buying
on New York orders.
Spanish government bonds also
showed strength in Paris and London,
but this was called reflection of the
strength of American securities rather
than the cause Of 1t. Early reports from
Washington, that Spain had agreed to
free Cuba for S2000 900 indemnity,
gave the first powerful upward impetus
to the market The abstention of the
senate foreign relations committee from
reporting any warlike resolutions in Its
custody, and the refusal of the house
to Interrupt the progress of the pres
ident's negotiations with the Spanish
government, were interpreted as favor
able factors. No account was apparent
ly taken of the implied suggestion ac-
companying these actions that the pres
ident's demands upon Spain were suf-
ficiently firm and far-reaching to meet
the objections of those who had threat
ened to oppose him in congress. The
underlying conviction in financial circles
was whatever these demands may be,
Spain would accede to them and thus
avert hostihties.
The bond market was by no means
as active as stocks. but the tone was
strong and some notable gains in prices
were scored. Total sales, $2,425,0o0, U,

STOCK MARKET STEADY
The Weekly Bank Statement Shows
a Decided Loss.
Considerable Buying for Investment
and Manipulation I'm Favor
of Higher Prices.

New York, July 9.-The market for Sc
eurities has not responded to the very
decided progress made this week toward
terminating the war with Spain. The
destruction of Spains Atlantic squadron
early in the week will prove to be the
most important event of the war. AL
though the, war is not over, a sufficient
number of decisive steps have been
taken to foreshadow its formal conclu-
sion in the near future, upon whatever
terms the United States may see fit to
impose.
This being the case, it can logically
be assumed that the market for securi-
ties hereafter should be governed chiefly
by purely commercial and financial con-
sderations. Chief among these last is the
placing OF the new Government loan
practically closed.
In the meantime, comparatively large
amounts of money are being transferred
to the Treasury on account of subscrip-
tions for $500 or less of the new bonds
The weekly bank statement shows a
loss of nearly S6,670,000. The noteworthy
movements in stocks this week have
been advances in so-called Vanderbilt
shares and declines in the anthracite coal
stocks. The losses in the last named
were most pronounced in Central New
Jersey which suffered a net decline of
Ia per cent.
The list, on the whole. showed a good
deal of strength. sustained by both buy
ing for investment and by manipulation
in favor of higher prices.
