FINANCE IND IlIIlE.

NEW YORK, September 13-The
Commercial Advertisers London finan-
cial cablegram says:
The public utterly failed to follow
the lead given yesterday in the mar
kots here and consequently a general
reaction set in to-day. Business was
unimportant in volume. Restraining
influences were fears Of dearer money
and of trouble in China and the railway
labor war.
The announcement that a strike had
been ordered in the coal regions de-
pressed Americans, though there is
some inclination among the market
leaders here to believe that the strike
will prove a fizzle.
Money closed harder and Berlin dis
counts were up.
The bank received $4,000 gold in bars.
Silver was higher on Calcutta buying,
believed here to be buying in OF bazaars
by the Indian government. The bazaars
price was lac.

WHAT CHIEF PARIS FEARED,
Accident Regarded as Due to Change
in Regulations.

The collision between car of the Metro
politan railroad and the hose carriage of
No. 4 Engine Company at 9th and r streets
yesterday afternoon, in which Foreman
Frank ]. Wagner and four of his men mar
rowly escaped death, was such an accident
as Mr.. Joseph Paris, chief engineer of the
fire department. predicted would occur
when the Commissioners, several months
ago, directed that street cars stop there
after on the far side instead Of the near
side of intersecting streets. 1t is also such
an accident as people residing in the neigh
borhood have expected to see, for numerous
complaints have been made to the munich
pal authorities of the very high rate of
speed of cars on the 9th street line in that
and other localities.
Speaking of yesterdays accident, Com
missioner mcfarland, who has immediate
supervision of the fire department, said to a
reporter of The Star today:
1T most deplorable accident, and /
am convinced that something must be done
to prevent a repetition of it. Our firemen
must be protected. L only learned of the
accident by chance, and Immediately went
to the scene. 1t was all over then, and all
l could do was to see that Foreman. Wag
ner and his injured men were receiving
every care and attention. That the street
car was running at high rate of speed
at the time is evident, l think, from the
force with which 1t struck the hose car
rage and the distance it passed after strik-
ing it, l am told that in Baltimore motor
men required to stop their cars the mo-
| ment they hear the bells of the apparatus
of the fire department, no matter where
their cars then happen to be, upon ap-
| preaching an intersecting street. That
might be a very good regulation to en-
| force here; but l am convinced something
must be done in the matter, and 1 have no
| doubt that the street railway companies
will be only too glad to require their men
| to observe such instructions hereafter as
will prevent a like accident
! Chief Paris said today he found after
| investigating the case, that Foreman Wag-
ner and his men were entirely blameless in
| the matter. The foreman is a man of dis
erection and is cautious, and the chief add
| ed that several times he and other mem
| bers Of the department have been placed in
great danger in responding to alarms be-
| cause of the high rate of speed at which
| street cars are run in the city, and be-
| cause Of the neglect of many Of the motor
| men to recognize the fact that by law the
| apparatus of the department in responding
| to alarms Of fire have the right of way.
