The tall building he goes on to say, should have stand pipes with connections at each floor. Hlevators should be con tinually kept In running order so that the firemen could cany a line of hose to any flooi at any time of the day or night. The city should have a water tower for lighting latgo conflagrations. Large buildings should have water tanks on the toot and nil buildings In eloselv built dlstticts should have lira walls, flto shuttets and the like. A towei for thawing out and diylng hose Is an imperative necessity, he bays. The Franklin and General Phln ney engines ate unsafe and should bc replaced and a lighter and less cumber some tiuek seemed lor the HooL and Ladder companv The limits In which buildings shall be constructed of non eombusttble materlnl should bo extend ed and u new building ordinance adopt ed The ptesent one Is antiquated and fit only for a hamlet he says.

Fu neral announcement later PRESENT STATE OF HARD COAL TRADE EFFECTS OF THE RECENT COLD WEATHER UPON IT. Caused Such an Unprecedented De mand That Dealers Say tho Sur plus on tho Market Was Entholy Wiped Out, and Convinced tho Trade That Thero Is Always Danger of a Coal Famino Why tho Advance in Price Was Mado Necessary. Under the caption "The State of the Trade" Saward's Coal Trade JournnI issued Wednesday says: "The severe and widespread ctoim and Its effects upon Mocks of coal should silence for a time those critics who are continually inveighing1 against the fact that there is usually a consld ei able amount of coal In dealers' yards and at cetittal distributing points. The ttade and the public had become so accustomed to buying as necessity com pelled, to sail close to the wind' as the saving Is, that tho cold snap and tho storm which followed found nearly ull of them insufficiently supplied with coal. The spectacle of iich corpora tions In the chief city of tho countiy Iwing unable to buy coal to keep their buildings warm shows that the possi bility of a coal famine Is an ever pres ent danger during the winter months and one which should be guarded against by the carrying of an ample leservo supply of fuel. "Those dealers, too, who have had to fen ego tho fulfillment of their con tiacts ate In an unenviable situation. It will be strange If they aie nble to sell tho same consumers again, and no doubt they are thoroughly Impiessed with the advisability of nlways carry ing a good supply of coal. If so, tho expetlcnce will not be wholly without icsiilt, and an indliect benefit to the trade. JANUARY SHIPMENTS "We are told that the Januaiy ship ments of Anthracite wore some 3,7ri0,000 tons, which was about 000,000 tons more than the quantity sent out during the name month last jear This quantity kept the market falily supplied and we have no doubt It all came Into use, and wah dMi United to meet requlte meiits Weie the same quantity sent foi vv aid dining February, It would be taken, for theie has been continuous co il-biiiiilng weather throughout the ponton ot counttj wheie anthracite Is the chief fuel. It Is doubtful If so much can be sent away from the mines, for the same eto weather which has ex isted where coal l burned lias pre vailed in the mining regions, and we must expect that the output was some what retaided. This with blockaded loads leading f loin the mines, will make fuel sc.uce In some poi tlons of the States, paitttu laily wheie it Is the custom to depend on hi tlv als of coal evetv few das, At thoe places which aie so .situated that ptovision tor the winter season Is made in advance, theie Is no sc.iiclt as yet, but natutally we may look for an ear llot and moie utilvoisal demand. In any ev ent the trade at large Is to be con gi.uulated upon the fact that we shall go into the usual buvlng season with stocks at a minimum. It Is many ve.uti sinie this was the condition of affalis and It me-ans much for this Im pottunt inilustiv that It Is bo. "Vw may i eatl t v t.i y day of plans nnd aii.ingements.

BETTER THINGS IN STORE. "With the denuind that Is likely to occur dining the curt ent jear theie is in stole for these anthracite Interests better thing" than was possible in the last vear oi two. Tonnage will no doul t be laiger and the .ivoiage returns aie not likely to be any less, as no one ex pects that theie will bo a icpetitlon of the "Job-lot" style of doing things which existed In some maikets last year." The following is from the New York Dally Stockholder of yehterdaj : "The advances in tidewater anthra cite coal prices aie made necessary, according to the large mining1 and cairying companies, b the lnteiruptlon to the transpoitatlon of gieatly needed supplies tluough snow blockades and ice-bound liveis nnd harbor. West of the mines coal cannot be foi u aided lapldly enough to keep dealers supplied and pilces are ttmpoiarlly not a mat ter of consideiatioii, "Owing to the anthtaclte statistical situation In tho West no apprehension Is telt of any noteworthy recebslon In ptiies In that section for an Indefinite peiiod. The outside prices, Just made ot tidewater, may bo shaded bllghtly aftei the existing emergency Is over, but It will be the fault of the producers themselves If the concessions are Her loiis, benuse of the improving prespeets of the Industry. The now outside price lor stove coal $3.7.1 f. o. b. comp.ues with sales a bhott time ago at $3.3r The highest iccent anklng pi Ice foi stove, to lespotihlble buyeis, was $3 50. The mow has In many instant es btoppid vvoiU at the bieakeis for over a week. "It can be stated with authority that no formal meeting of either the an thtaclte ptesidonts oi sales agents will be held, as alleged In Philadelphia, Tho work of consolidating tho Individual coal piopeitles, is regarded in well-Informed circles as piollmlnaiy to a settlement with the railroad Interests lather than as a hostile measure."
