How the News is Received In Other Cities.
THE EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK.
New YORK, Oct. tO-NooR.-The excitement
in the city relative to the Chicago calamity is in
nowiSc abated this morning. All the people
who were going to workshops early were
anxious readers of the papers containing asso-
ciated press dispatches, and the sales at the
news stands have been enormous. Crowds of
business men were at the hotels until late
hour last night to obtain the latest information
of the fire, aud many were in trcpidation fearing
they were joint sufferers with their mercantile
correspondents in the apparently doomed city.
1t is thought that much of the business will be
entirely suspended. Many Of the insurance com
panies will doubtless be compelled to suspend
for a short time in order TO ascertain their liza
biities, while the grain and produce trade will
undoubtedly be brought to a complete stand
still Every one in our community feels deep
sorrow for the sufferers, and the responses to
the mayors proclamation for help will be spon-
tancous and of a liberality worthy of the great
metropolis.
The relief meeting held by the chamber of
commerce, to-day, was eminently successful.
Mr.. Patterson Of the Liverpool chamber of COM
merce was present, and said that if the New
York chamber would appeal to Liverpool, Lon
don and Edinburg, they would receive material
aid. Henry Clews announced that the stock
exchange had voted donation of $50 900. Sub.
scrption lists were then opened, to which Fisk
& Hatch contributed $40, 900, Jay Cooke $40 900,
Henry Clews $4,000, Illinois Central railroad
$4,000, A. A. Lowe S20OO George Opdyke
$1,000, and many Others $1,000 and $4,000 each.
In all the sum raised was 900, which will
doubtless be doubled before tomorrow.
The movement for the relief of the Chicago
sufferers goes bravely on. The scene at the
Erie railway depot foot of 23d street, to-day, is
most interesting one. The streets are crowded
with the carriages of fashionable ladies from
Fifth avenue, Madison avenue and otherfashion-
able districts, all of whom come with small
packages OF clothing or other necessaries, which
are duly stored in the train which will start at
A. NJ. to morrow. The orders arc that the
train speed through without stopping, except
ing for coal and water at the rate of forty miles
an hour. 1t will carry no passengers, and no
paid freight. New York merchants pour forth
their goods as freely as water; one firm sends an
Invoice of beds and beddino and another sends
women's clothing. and so on.
