Telegraph Wires Down in New York.

NEW YoRK. Jan. 26.-Ths effect of the
storm Oh the business Of the city 10 manifest
this morning am0rg the exchanges and
mercantile houses down town. The break
ing of 30 msny telephone wires had the
effect Of bringing business almost to q
stand,till. The news and quotations from
Chicago and Boston came 10 slow
", and on the Cotton Exchange
almost nothing from the South was received
The general ticker service to exchanges
wassesrly put in working order, and facil-
itated business to = certain extent All

will probably be 4s hours before i. can be
resumed. In the meantime communica-
ton with Sandy Hook and the quarantine
10 carried on by means of revenue cutters.
At 10 O'Clock tonight A. f. Sink, night
manager of the Western Union office, said
1--WE have now Is wires west, q gain Of II
since last night. These wires leave New
York, through Harlem to Albany and Buff
falo to Chicago. At Albany and Buffalo
the matter was sent east without difficulty,
- there are plenty Of wires from those
cities eastward. We are working over two
direct wires to Boston and the east via
New Haven. We have not wire direc:
south yet, but we are reaching Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington and the South gen.
orally BY way Of the West. II we have no
failures in the circuits already restored and
now working. We expect to clear up be-
fore morning the business now on hand"
The damage to telegraph and telephone
wires is estimated at hundreds of thousands
of dollars. As the Western Union have
about 81 per cent. OF their wires under
ground here their loss in the city proper
by broken wires and poles is small. Their
principal loss is from suspension of bust
ness. The Metropolitan Telephone and Tel
egraph Co. have about half their 10 900
wires in disabled or partly disabled con-
di.ion They estimated their loss at $780,
COO. The American Long Distance Tele-
phone Co.'S loss is about 100000, they
think. The city is still without electric
light, and the Ere and police departments
are without proper communication.
