The business directory gives the names OF
some seventy-fve dealers in BICYCLES. but the
number in this city must now be several times
as large Not only do the big manufacturers
have from two to four agencies but little shops
have sprung up all around Some Of them are
in Easements. and the chief business. besides
making repairs, is dealing in secondhand ma
chimes. score Of agencies are in the plaza al
Fifty ninth-st. and Eighth-ave. or in its imne-
date neighborhOod. and more than that number
are scattered about Warren, Murray. Chambers
and other streets in the hardware district
There are bicycle stores at intervals all the way
I'D Broadway and the Boulevard. and One-hun-
dred-a nd twenty -ffth-st has cluster OF them.
Even the tenement-house districts now have
thops and indeed. they may be found IN every
quarter OF the city Many Of them date from
the present year. and the opening OF new ones
from time TO time shows confidence that the
bicycle boom is not bubble likely to be pricked
at any time.

URGENT CALL FOR HELP.

-

Appeal 10 the Public from the Central Re-
LET Committee.
Al urgent appeal for aid for the suffering
poor was promulgated yesterday by the cen
tral relief committee. Here it is:
ITO the people Of the District of Columbia
who have never failed to make liberal re-
sponse in times of need. the central relief
committee appeals for prompt contributions
10 relieve the suffering which now prevails in
the city of Washington. Changed industrial
conditions have forced into the ranks of the
unemployed, hungry and cold. hundreds who
have never before been pinched by lack of
the necessaries of life. Freezing weather now
intensifies their suffering; starvation and
death by freezing threaten to-day many a
home. The charitable institutions of the
city are utterly unable to meet the eXigency.
Their accumulated funds are already ex-
haustcd and they are relieving as best they
can with the varying contributions received
from day TO day traction of the suffering
10 which their attention is directed. With no
less OF local want and distress 10 be met thaa
at the corresponding period of last year, the
funds at hand tor charitable relief are smaller
than al that time by about $4,000. In fact,
there Is no fund now available for immediate
relief. Therefore the central committee urges
upon The benevolent and benefeent of Wash
ington TO contribute literally and to contrib
ute al once. A systematic canvass of the city
will soon be made. but do not wait for that

WASHINGTON, D. c. JANUARY Is. 1895.
FAKE TRAVELLING STORES.

The absence of a law 10 license travelling
stores is particularly unfortunate for Wash
ington. Fake ankrupt concerns and mock
jewelry humbugs have only TO rent room
and gull the public with attractive adYertis-
ing and worthless wares.
Every other city protects its citizens from
this class of itinerant fakirs either by charging
a license fee or prohibiting them from selling
goods. and 1t seems strange that Congress
should delay action on this important cues
tion
Merchandise OF any description advertised
at ruinously low prices must either be dam
aged or Of a worthless nature, and if people
would consider this fact before patronizin G
travelling mp-down stores there would be
less danger of their being swindled. Nor is it
safe to purchase goods of strangers when the
same bargain can be mad OF Washington
merchants.
No travelling fakir can sell goods cheaper
than our local tradesmen unless he cheats the
purchaser with worthless articles. He cannot
buy at wholesale at lower prices, and. gem
orally speaking, his expenses are greater
than those of our city tradesmen. Therefore
it is safer. better, and more profitable 10
patronize home trade.
II is 10 be hoped that Congress will soon
take steps to protect the public from fake
travelling stores. high license law would
do it. and Washington would not be oyerrun
with this class Of itinerant fakirs

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE week opened on

Sugar came next in point Of activity, but
moved within very much narrower limits.
Distilling was among the most firmly-heid
stocks traded in. OF the grangers stocks st.
Paul alone showed any activity. The coal
stocks were moderately traded in. The trad
ing in the rest OF the list was light and the
movement of prices was, with some few ex-

the closing figures show gains on the day.
