in temperature accompanying heavy
snow storm which set in last night
brought some relief to New York's suf-
ferinQ thousands to whom the recent
cold snap had brought the greatest hard
ship. Today the temperature is almost
mild, but the city is storm bound. Snow
turned to rain in the early morning and
several inches of slush on streets aud
sidewalks practically tied up trsnSpor-

The snow has furnished work for hum
dreds Of men gho were out Of work and
the money they will earn will help to
relieve the acute suffering Of the last few
days.
Fires In several tenements last night
caused much SOLDERING. The tenement
dwellers were driven from their homes
into the freezing snow and rain.

storm from the northwest is headed for

The improvement in weather conditions

The textile industries are quieter, but
estimates of restriction Of output are not
essily obtained. The recent cuts of
prices in cotton goods place the prices OF
most grades at least 20 per cent. below q
war ago. Shoe shipments are 80 per
cent. below January, 1907. Lumber
and all kinds of building material are
very quiet the country over, despite
some enlargement of numbering opera

production has made for fair amount
of stability iu leather, especially heavy
