The appalling calamity which has befallen
Galveston and neighboring towns in Texas ex-
cited a great deal Of sympathetic interest in
this city which is always quick to respond to
all appeals for aid to sufferers by flood. famine
or other Unforeseen disaster. The Merchants
Association yesterday sent telegram to the
Governor Of Texas and the Mayor of Galveston
asking If a fund should be started here for the
sufferers About $1,000 was subscribed for

Local business interests We're Of course af-

Insly on the Cotton Exchange, where the staple
advanced by leaps and bounds upon reports that

too and although there definite news
Of the extent Of loss the bulls took full advan-

In marine circles the gravest fears were enter
tained. for fourteen steam vessels have been
reported as reaching Galveston since September
l. not one of which has been noted as sailing
again. Owners anticipate big losses when all
details are in. Marine underwriters also feel
uncomfortable over the prospect, as the shipping
and cargoes in the tornado swept harbor were
pretty generally insured. Fire insurance COM

such make practice of writing tornado risks

Local officials of railroads running into the
devastated district read the reports from Gal
weston with gloomy brows. but hoped they We're
exaggerated Some tried to look the cheer
full side, and said that revictualling the wrecked
stores and rebuilding the houses would make
freight and transportation brisk when the
waters subsidized. Bankers. too. awaited de-
tailed reports Of th3 damage to crops and bust
ness houses with keen expectancy. The tele-
graph companies said they hoped to restore d.

Texas by to-day or tomorrow least. and the
local weather experts declared that there

Of loss TO their property and destruction to their
homes their fears intensified a thousand
