New York, Oct. 23.-R. G.. Dun &

I'm most lines business continues

signs that buying has been checked,
either because prices have outrun the
views of buyers, or because recent pur-
chases have been so heavy that nobody
is left in need. Prices are still advanc-
ing in almost every line, supported by
rising prices of materials, and works
everywhere are still crowded to their

it is found hard to get enough compe-

THE outbreak of war in South At
RIGA has brought no such changes as
many feared. In England the markets
have treated it as an event already
overdiscounted, and relations with this
country were not appreciably affected.
Wheat has declined INC in price
in spite of unfavorable crop reports.
Wool has enlisted powerful specula-

pounds for the week at the three CEN

THE MAINE RELIEF FUND.
Ladies Who Had Charge of 1t Con-
clude It's Affairs.

The ladies who have had charge of the
battle ship Maine relief fund met yester-
day at the residence Of Mrs. Richardson
Glover and practically concluded it's af-
fairs. Mrs. Long, wife of the Secretary of
the Navy, had associated with her in the
work of distributing relief to families of
the victims of the Maine disaster Mrs.
Crowninshield, Mrs. O'Neil, Mrs. Stewart,
Mrs Haywood, Mrs. Clover, Mrs. Bradford,
Mrs Lemly, Mrs. Van Reypen and Mrs.
Hichborn. Miss Edith Benham acted as
secretary to the general committee, and
Mrs. Bradford as vice chairman.
Mrs. Crowninshield, Mrs O'Neil, Mrs.
Stewart, treasurer; Mrs. Haywood and Mrs
Glover formed an advisory committee, of
which the latter was appointed secretary.
Mrs Glover has, therefore, had a very
large portion of the work to look after
personally, and 1t is largely due to her eff
clent management and practical business
methods that so much has been accom-
pllshed. The relief was timely and $25 was
sent to each family before a month had
elapsed after the disaster. Mrs. Stewart
the treasurer. reported that the entire sum
received was $50, ,5S3. II, which has all been
dispersed excepting 81 900 held to provide
for pending cases. OF this sum the Jack
les their officers and commanders aboard
ship contributed $16 117.93. Crews and Off

under Admiral Dewey, sent 81 3oS.S5 the
navy yards and stations, $3,43074; naval
officers families, e$759.74, and the army,

ter, under the auspices of the committee
added 81, G6G. 20 TO the fund and the largest
sum from any single source came from

entertainment given by the newspapers
and theatrical. managers. The first allot-
ment to each family has been followed by
several other payments. Many cases of
extreme destitution were relieved entail
ing an immense amount of labor on the
part of the committee. The whole story
of the relief fund, from its inception to
final report OF distribution, reflects credit
upon the ladies primarily interested in it's
success and the splendid efforts made by
the public toward that end.
