TIL Dorscht society has not given out
a statement of the receipts at its Sun
day night charity concert. But the
sum will be a large one. This after
noon the Ladies' auxiliary OF the
Quinnipiac Hook and Ladder company
will give a whist in the club rooms. the
proceeds of which viii swell the relief
fund.
This afternoon the special committee
will hold a meeting in the City hall.
Mr.. Warden says that thus far about
300 applications for aid have come to
him. All these have not been given
assistance, however. only those who
have shown that they were deserving
receiving help. Between six and seven
hundred dollars have thus far been
disbursed- Mr. Warden expects the
present situation will improve vastly
with the opening Of spring.
Although the situation here is bad
enough. the stories that come from the
sister city of Bridgeport would lead
are even worse. A gentleman who is
I'm a position to know. told Courier
reporter yesterday that only about q
per cent. of the shop hands and me-
chanics In that city were employed al
the present time. HI. said that the ice
firms in Bridgeport during the cutting
season turned down forty or fifty men
every day, men who were willing &c
work for IS cents day. A year ago
a much higher wage was paid to the
cutters, and it was hard work at any
price But the supply of men has been
much greater than the demand this
year, with the result that the compan-
les have cut the wage paid time and
again down to the IS cent mark, for q
ten hour day.

Meriden. Aug 2l Business condi- tions are 25 per cent better today than they were the first of the month" re- marked a well known financial man. "There are more men working in the factories and they are working longer hours
 "In the first place the surest way to tell Is by the increase In the size of the payrolls. Some have only increas- ed about 10 per cent" while others have increased as much as 30 per cent and 1t seems to be the general understanding that things are much better.
 For instance I know that one fac tory shows an increase If several thousand dollars in this weeks pay roll over what it was last week and that things appear to he even bright CT for the coming week than tleey were this
 "The smaller factories are doing very well indeed, some of them are working extra hours and even then they cannot get out their orders Things are good in the hardware line, in the glass line and In the various speciates that are made here Tho silver trade is not improving quite as rapidly as some of the other depart ments in the Meriden industries but still there Is a noticeable improve ment
