demand. In foreign dry goods slow
movement is reported, but prices are
we'll sustained. If aid does not soon
come to the suffering poor Of Hoboken,
many will perish of starvation. There
are five hundred and ninety-six deSti-
tute families, with total of 1862
souls. entirely dependent upon charity
for support. Poormaster Lewis says
he knows of forty families in the
Third ward, only two heads of which
have employment, and that for only
three days in week at IS cents day.
''The suffering is great now" says he,
"but it will be terrible if means are not
quickly taken for relief. Last Thurs.
day, in the driving storm of snow and
wind, over two hundred poor people
came begging for relief. Barefooted
women and starving children came. l
did all could for them, but at present
our hands are tied. The cause of this
extreme poverty is the absolute stag
nation of business. We have no
manufactures to speak of; there is no
building going on, and there is no
work doing on the DOCKS The leg
