The market showed what should he

the early trading. The report gave
l2,A24. 900 bales as the total glnned

bales up to the corresponding date
last year, hut the importance OF the
report was in the fact that only 9Sp,-

period of thirteen days ending De

FIRE FIGHTING
LOCOMOTIVE
Engine Fitted Up to Help Depart
ment Fight BIaxes In tho
Railroad Yards.

WASHINGTON Nov. Five thou
sand, two hundred and four is the
number Of the engine that the Penn
sylvania railroad has reentlcy equip
ped with modern fire fighting appa-
ratus and put In commission to as
sist the district firenlen in extin-
gushing flames in the railroad yards,
particularly near New Jersey and Vir-
ginia Avenue.
Because of the high speed of which
the engine is capable and the fact
that It has right Of way all the time,
its service will be invaluable, as has
already been shown by its efficiency
in putting out small flames in the
yards without the assistance OF the
municipal department. The excellent
switch board service, operated from
the towers. can give it right OF way
without scarcely any delay.
The primary use of the engine will
be In the yards, but It can be brought
to the Union station or elsewhere
along the road If necessary The ter
ulludi LAS DCen so tOnstluoIoQ Nide
water can be reached at any point in
the yards.
This Is not an innovation, J. as the
Pennsylvania has equipped large
number of similar engines. In many
places they have grown more efficient
than the fire departments and are
called upon to do most of the work
No less than hundred and fifty
fires have been eytinguished by the
/ locomotive fire engines in the varions
yards and stations OF the Pennsylva-
| MIA lines.
The railroad has a special organf
zatton which becomes effective when
ever fire breaks out. The assistan,
chief yardmaster acts as chief OF the
department; he gives general direc
/ tons in case of fire and conducts
drill from time to time. Conductors
on the various trains near the scene
OF the fire act as chief of the various
crews, while the fiagmen look aftel
the unreeling of the hose The brake
men complete the organization by act
ing as nozzlemen.
