Movements Of Coal and Coke
We're Much Heavier.
Interesting Facts Concerning Our
Industrial Activity.

Washington, April 4. - Commercial
movements in the domestic field during
February on the whole indicate a larger
degree of industrial activity than for the
preceding month. Reports received by
the Bureau of Statistics of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor show
heavier movements of coal, and especial
ly coke, due to the larger demand Of the
iron furnaces. Larger lumber receipts at
consuming and distributing centers and
increased building activity in the larger
cities are another sign of industrial re-
vival. The movement of grain and pro-
visions toward the Atlantic seaboard
shows q considerable dimnution, mainly
because of the smaller demand for eX-
port.
February receipts of live stock at seven
primary interior markets, SOL ,211 head
were decidedly lower than during the cor
responding months of 1908 and 1907, when
3,6So,7S4 and 1872, 533 head We're reported.
This decrease is due primarily to the
smaller number of hogs received at all
the important primary markets, though
the arrivals of cattle and calves likewise
show smaller monthly totals than year
ago. The number of cars used in the
transportation to market OF the above
reported animals is calculated as 81, 757,
compared with 62,961 and 59,7S6 cars. the
calculated totals for February, 1908 and
1907. Chicago alone shows a diminution
of over 5000 cars for the month, as COM
pared with the February, 1908, record.
Lives stock receipts for the two months
of the year at the same markets, CTS, 1903
head, also compare unfavorably with cor
responding 1905 and 1907 figures of s210,572
and 7,116,97S head The receipts of cattle
since the beginning of the year. 1,255, O6S
head, were consi derahly lower than dur
ing the precedi ng two years. The re-
ceipts of hogs since January, 4,o0e, 073

ported for February, 1907. show a % per
cent decrease, as compared with cor
responding 1908 figures
Shipments during February of packing
house products at Chicago, 15o, 295, 702

low the February, 1905 shipments The
main diminutions occurred under the
head of fresh beef, cured meats hides
lard and canned meats Shipments since
the beginning of the year, 34O, $50, $50

the corresponding 1908 and 1907 totals of
4S7. lSl, 100 and 437,7779.1s6 pounds The less

school building. Two lines Of hose
were laid and through inch nozzlcs

In the afternoon the steamer was
taken out again and set on the White

was laid to Water street. and although

and 50 far as could be seen the steam
er forced the water through two lines
Of hose about as high as she did
through one. The steam pressure used
in the tests was 120 pounds.
Those who witnessed the tests Sat
urday expressed themselves as well
satisfied with the work of the steamer
and there seems to be a general feeling
that she will ably fill the requirements
for which she was purchased, also
that in securing her at the price paid
the committee in charge of the pur-
chase made q very advantageous bar
gain for the city. The following de-
sCription of the steamer, taken from
the contract, will be of interest:
The boiler is the company's self
circulating sectional water-tube boil
er, the design embracing the patents
of Charles II. Fox. The shell is made
OF the very best homogeneous steel,
having q tensile strength of $4,000
pounds per square inch and bolted
throughout in a manner fitting it to
withstand double the pressure requir-
ed for service The principal heating
surface is comprised in the vertical
manifolded tube systems, so arranged
as to dispense entirely with crown
sheet, top head and smoke flues
The boiler is warranted to make
steam from cold water in from three
to five minutes after starting fire and
to generate and maintain an ample
working pressure of steam for effective
and continuous fire duty, without clog
ging. The water tubes are of the best
quality Of charcoal iron or Steel and
the boiler is equipped with the COM
pany's patent steam "takeoff," insuring
dry steam to the engine. and is sup
piled, complete. with the company's
latest improved variable exhaust, en-
aiding the engineer to regulate the
draft at will; sprinkling attachment
for wetting down cinders under CRATE;
heater pipes and valves for same;
steam nozzle for improving draft; sur
face blower and pipe; blowoff cock
and cleaning holes at bottom of water
leg; crate bars, two steam pressure
gauges, pop safety valve of the most
approved form. signal whistle, glass
water gauge and extra tube for same,
three try-Cocks, connection for clean
ing hose, etc.
The engine is of the Manning type
second size. Her steam cylinders are
of 7ss inch diameter with an Sinch
stroke. and the water cylinders Az
