Oil may supplant coal in city power plants
The Tribune reported that the Interborough Rapid Transit Co plans to feed its future power plant with Texas oil, following Morse Iron Works and Drydock Co adopting oil instead of coal. Business leaders foresee potential major power cost reductions, industrial benefits, and a possible drop in coal prices if oil proves cheaper. A fuel oil fleet and shifts by other power users could reshape local industry and air quality, though a regular oil supply and tankers are needed before large-scale use.

Labouisse's cotton market corner and its collapse
The article recounts 19th century financier Labouisse who engineered a cotton market corner in January 1874 with a German firm.
