Letters Written Asking ec1
More Information.

The Board Of Fire Commissioners Is
now engaged in obtaining information
which. II put to practical use will result
in increasing the efficiency OF the depart
ment many-fOld.
Letter requesting data on the subjecr
have been written to chief Hugh Bonner
of The New York Fore Department. and
others.
The plan which they have I'm view is
the establishment on Broad and Main
streets Df cisterns probably four on
each street; located on Broad between
tirst and Eighth, and on Main between
Ninth and Fourteenth.
OBJECT or THE PLAN.
They will probably be about ten feet
IN diameter and will be placed a tho
street corners The object OF this plan
Is obvious. At present when fire OF
any size breaks out and four or eve en-
gines are put 10 work. some Of them are
several blocks from the burning building
and when the water reaches the nozzles.
after traversing probably 1000 feet or
hose. II Is little more than spray. and
has but little effect on the FIRE
BY the use Of cisterns as many as four
engines could be grouped together right
at the fire. and water could be thrown
with irresistible force.
\ fire anywhere between the streets
named above might at any time break
out and assume most disastrous proper
lions. The Fire Commissioners wish TO
provide against any such contingency.
COST NOT GREAT.
This plan is already in enect in other
cities. and could be carried out here
without great cost. Captain John II.
Frischkorn president OF the Board Of
Fire Commissioners. ia speaking Of the
matter last night. emphasized the great
need OF such cisterns. and pointed out
how much the department is Handicapped
by the many feet OF hose through which

borne out, however. On the contrary, for the first time in some years the balance of trade is greatly in our favor and European investors are only too eager to put their money into American railways or business enterprises That they are justified in doing this is clearly shown by the increase this year in America's export trade.
 This increase in the foreign trade of the United States, all the great financial ex- perts agree, is the fundamental factor in the present financial boom. In the last three years, up to June 30, 1S9S-this increase of exports over imports reached the sum of s966,S ,219. This sum, based on the fig ures for the first four months of the current fiscal year, will probably reach $1 800 000, 900 by June 30 1899.
 To the lay mind this sum is meaningless. But it is easy to realize the tremendous ef- feet such an amount of money coming into our country must have on its prosperity.
 An eminent authority on finance thus ex- plains the great increase in values: "Peo- ple," he says, "who hold dividend-paying stocks of the best roads will not sell them, because there is nothing else in which the

446,915. This, even after allowing for half shares, was still the largest total on record since the sales amounted to about million full shares.
 On August r, the next biggest day of the financial year, the transactions of the five hours, during which the market Is open, the transactions in stocks and bonds iu- volved the tremendous sum of $41, ,000, ,oJ0 And as the stock exchange dealings are only comparative small part of the busi- ness done in Wall street, the figures given for both these big days do not by any means represent the total of the volume of trade.
 At the beginning of the year and through the dark months-n a financial sense-that preceded the breaking out of the war with Spain and during the early days of that pe- riod, it was greatly feared that the conflict would not only have a depressing and last ing effect on our market, but would keep foreign investors from putting their money into American enterprises
 These dismal forebodings have not been
