From the "Hartford Daily Couraut," Nov. 10, 1S71.J A special meeting of tbe stockholders of the Aitna Fire Insurance Company was held on Thursday forenoon, and it was agreed to reduce the capital stock from $3,000,0000, to $1,500,000. This action was verified by the directors, and official notice given at the otKce of the Secretary of state, from which a certifi cate was issued accordingly. The stock holders then voted to increase the capi tal a miliion and a half, bringing it up to the chartered amount, and the direct ors will hold a meeting to arrange the navment ot the new stock, several plans being proposed. This action places the company in possession of an ample re insurance fund, and it will be able to meet all the requirements as to condi tion" which the legislation of any State requires. The premium receipts since the tire have been and are enormous; over $700,000 having been taken by agents during twenty days in October. From the Local Money Article" of same date.l The feature of the local market is dullness. Prices are well sustained the absence of forced sales. It is quite evident those persons are to be disap- fiointed who expected to buy our best ocal stocks on their own terms, because of the extensive forced sales that were to be made. yKtna and Phicnix Fire have both been in demand, at prices made last week, but no stock has come on the market this week. 1 be mmdi ale future of the market value of Jjina will of course be governed largely by the amount of the new shares cut on the market. At the annual meeting of the company held to-day (lhursday), the stockholders uiiaitimoutli voted to re duce tne Old capital irom inree minimi dollars to ouo million and a half dollars, and as unanimously voted to put their hands in their pockets and pay in a mil lion and a half fresh money, aud thus restore the cunital to the old mark ol three millions, and thus continue to hold the .iKtna in the very front rank of in surance companies of the land." 68 Twenty-five choice deer received by express, aaj for sale at Victor D.

There is no change in the channel depth here, the river having come to a stand last night; it will, however, com mence rising again to-night or to-morrow, and we may safely predict a depth of ten feet over the worst place, below Cairo.

By Telegraph. Pittsburu, November 169 p.m. This has been a day of great activity among our coal merchants and steam boatmen. The last shipments of coal made from here to the lower porta waa in May last, and, in consequence, the amount now loaded in boats and bargea ia considerably greater than at any pre vious period in the history of our city. The list of tows below is necessarily in complete, in view of the buatle and con fusion amending so sudden arise in our rivers, and it is not probable a full and accurate account of the shipments can be given before to-morrow evening. Be low are the tows, with their destinations, reported up to one o'clock this evening: For Cincinnati steamer Conl Valley, 10 barges, 100,000 bushels; Joseph A.

Strader aod Rob Hoy, from St. Louis, are due to-day. Cincinnati gets 1,812,000 bushels of coal from the fleet that left Pittsburg yesterday. The sudden rise in the Ohio and the heavy tows of coal that started down with it will cause a decline in the price. Louisville gets 1,4.11,000 bushels of con! on the present rise in the Ohio. It is stated that all of the life-preservers on our local packets will have to be replaced by new ones, as they fall an eighth of a pound short of weight ac cording to the new regulations. But why or by what authority tho local In spectors should recommend that a cer tain kind of preserver should be pur chased, or designate the firm or house from which they should be purchased, is a mystery. This has been done here in one instance, but of course it will not be again. It smacked too Strang of the steam indicator mentioned by Captain Kountz, in h.i$ speech at Louisville, to b(r repetition. The White came in this morning with 107 balescotton and 605 sacks seed. The Glasgow arrived from below with eleven bales cotton and 432 sacks seed, and adds several hundred bale: lme fur above.
