AN APPEAL EOR AID.

New YORK, Sept. 14.-The chamber of COM
merce has issued an appeal to the peaple of the
United States in behalf of the yellow fever
sufferers. The committee says: Great, noble,
and generous as are the donations sent to us by
kindred societies and organizations throughout
the country, we beg to state in language as
as strong as it can be expressed that they are
wholly inadequate to the relief of the pressing
needs of that portion Of our beloved country
suffering from the present scourge and plague.
Its abatement is not yet. When it SUBJ
excite your further sympathies by calling
your attention to the fatherless and
motherless children left desolate and to
the condition of thousands Of men and women
dependent, ready and willing to work for their
daily bread, but deprived of all opportunity to
dose. Until frost comes to remove the cpl
demlc and revive the courses Of trade and COM
merce, we appeal to our people everywhere to
add to or double what they have given to pro-
vide for the imperative needs of the plague
stricken cities of the South. We rely on the
channel of chambers and boards of trade in the
West to open depots for provisions.
