YESTERDAY.
Owing to th' fact that the North Division was
atcmiblc only acres* Klmie and Division street
bridges and through the dark LaSalle street tun
nel. passage through which was forbidden to teams,
the people wiia. cstorday visited that quarter of
the city were chiefly th«*c who had formerly tired
there, and were bunting for shreds and scraps of
property, or vicre trying to find the places where
they had ouco lived and tho properly they bad once
owned. The great rush of visitors on foot and ic
carriages was across Randolph. Lake, and Madison
street bridges into Ihe South Division, People
from the West Side, from lower down on the South
Division, and strangers who had just reached the
city, all turned lu that direction,
and wandered from point [to point,
often puzzled as to their whereabouts, and seeking
in vain tor old tud familiar landmarks. The jwln
„’.paTbu»lueis iu the South Division yesterday was
the
DIGGING OUT OF SAFES
from the smoking bedding* In which they were
buried. Several persons were smart enough to
make Urn: a business, and thoy succeeded In pet*

shovels, lever,’,' onfl, occasionally,»little water,
made up the stock in trade, borne bad gotten oat
their fourth fate by *2 o'clock, and were hunting
arutmd in search of other jobs, Many of the (*afc<*
came up in excellent condition, while
others wtre Jim most deplorable

Others which had bjcn <i|*encd were found to be

of removal. generally to Watiaeb avejme or to West
Canal or Randolph street*, and they give abundant
proof that the energies of the merchants have not
been crushed ontby the" catastrophe which haa be
fallen them.
THE. STREETS.
On crossing the river at MadUon street there Is
vaaancyoa the north side of the street, aud uclb
iuucl.-c, and with a few noticeable exceptions
there remain but insignificant and one-story relies
«>f once fir.-i class buildings. I-aw’s coalyard, on
t lie south hide of the street, is on fire, and even
where the fiames have not broken out, the white
Mnoke is pouring out at h fearful rate. .Some of it
may, however, be saved, by the liberal and con
stant use of water. Beyond there, going
east, there is practically nothing until the relics of
he Otis Block are reached at (be corner of LaSalle
nd Madison. Just to tbo ntli on LaSalle, the
walls of the Arcade Building, which was Immedi
•njc’.y in the rear of the Farwcll Hall, remain com
paratively intact.
THE TRIBUNE BUILDING.
THE TRIBUTE was, by several bums, thclaat
newspaper in Chicago to survive the general
destruction, and its magnificent fire-proof building
was the Inst to succumb, although it bad been sur
rounded by fire on two tides for about four hours.
The building was a perfect model of architectural
elegance, uud had been constructed throughout
with reference to safety end durability in case of
fire. Thu ceilings were of coriugated Iron, resting
upon wrought iron “1" beams, while every parti
tion wallin the entire structure was of brick. It
was, in all rcsjiectN one of the most absolutely
fire-proof” buildings ever erected. That is. it was
fire prool up to the date of its destruction. It was
completed in April, INKi, at a coat of about fiS,-
003. and its content* were fully $100,030 wore.
Itelying upon the integrity of their edifice, THE
TRIBUNE comjmny-'had takon no insurance, al
though they now have little cause to regret this
neglect. lu the corner of the first flour was the
counting room and business office, with a fire proof
vault for the safe keeping of records, valuables,
etc. Ou the Madison and Dearborn street front*
were elegant stores of various kinds, all filled with
Mucks of goods, lu the basement were the boilers
and engines, two of Hoe's eight-ciliudcr presses,
fcveral folding machines, large quantities of print
ing paper, and a vast uf Dilscellaucona
machinery, tools, appliances oud nuiluni! necuuary
to the canning <m of u great newspaper.
The kbcond and.third floors of the building wore
devoted to ofliccs, allot which were occupied. Ou
the fourth floor w re 1 1 ho editorial aud comjoelng
rooms, all mpcrbly filled up.
As stated above, .the building withstood the
Etorm'for several hours, and it was not until 10
o'clock on Monday forenoon, sis hours after it bad
seemingly escaped, that it was reached from the
eastward from McViikcrV Theatre. The Interior
woodwork aiid cotubuftiblc malarial was consumed
stance, but the floors and walla generally remained
iot'aet. although all wore so bll?te red,'crocked, and
xw I tied a* to be almost worthless for future use.

rubbish which ought to have impeded the progress

emitting an unpleasant stench. On the opposite
side of Washington, the photographers’ places and
the other stores have vanished, while
DRAKE'S BLOCK
is decidedly more of a ruin than it was a year ago
The question of ibo removal of the
SECOND PRESBYTERIAN
congregation has been eternally settled. The hard
limestone walls of the church resisted very well,
notwithstanding the slight amount of hltnmen in
them. The southern tower remains, and the walls
are all upon a level vltha point Just aliore the top
of the great front window. The experience of this
fire has been rather unfavorable to the softer.

wall of good brick will stand as well, and resist
the action of the flames ns well as any stone that
is need here, excepting granite. The eflect of the
fire upon the Athens marble baa been remarkable.
In some places the stone has disappeared alto
gether. In others, such os the LaSalle street front
of
THE COURT HOUSE,
it has been gnawed and eaten away, or fallen off
ia great flakes. The sandstone and granite may
not bare been exposed to so Intense aflame, but

Is a sign to the effect that parties wanting room on

corner of Thirteenth and Michigan avenue. Tho
American Merchants’ Union Express have obtained
possession ofa part of the ground, including tbe
diamond, n n 4 Grey Brothers have bold of the north

in stoves, have also begun running up a small
booth. Tbe ground is covered with piles of lum

Cheyenne la its incipient days than anything cl*o.
THE IRON »TDHiC>
of J. V, Ayer: Hall, Kimbark A Co., and other*, on
Michigan avenue, between Lake and Randolph
street*, present a curious spectacle. Tlwy are
filled with iron twisted, distorted, and boot oat of
all shape, while across the street the Immense iron
rafters and beams have been dealt with in the most,
extraordinary fashion. In many of these storey
and, indeed, generally io the large wholesale warc
.houecs, the fires were still burning, and, of course,
no attempt was made Jo pot them out. The side,
walks of
THE UNION DEPOT,
(hick and strong, are still standing, but 11/ C
offices in the rear have caved io except at the north
east corner, when) one I all pinnacle remains. The
building occupied by the Chicago, Burlington
Quincy aud Michigan "Central Road* has been
gutted, but the walls are still partially standing.
The Michigan Central freight depot has also been
cleaned out, though the walls ore uji to lha spring
of the roof. Quite an amount of sugar was lost
here. Just south of this depot half a dozen cars
were burned, the (racks yet remaining on
the track. .Near by was a car which
had just run up from Tolono on the Jilt-
Illinois Central Road filled with provisions, gener
ally bread and cheese, some of which were issued
on Hie spot to hungry men who happened to "be
nearby. The trains of the Illinois Michigan
Central stop just {a front of the old depot.
STEAMERS FROM .ABROAD.
At the head of the slip whiih lies just
west of Elevator A was the Providence,.
oncAf the five Amoekeag steamers which came on
from Piiuvorgh, and the Pharalr, of Detroit, en
gaged in pumping tester through a long line of hoac,

the ruins beyutuL Another engjqa JT* f near the
Centra! Elevator, playing upon as ifluncseo I#U of
wheat, which was in
ELEVATOR A,
and which was bursting out in little puffs of smoke
all over tu surface. It cannot be very easily
extinguished, and ail that is to be expected U that
It will gradually moulder away.
THE MARINE HOSPITAL,
an old acd substantial building, is in very good
order, comparatively. Of course the Inner walla
and the roof arc gone, but Ibe outside wails have
btoodilvery well.
U is not possible to ascertain as yet the entire
amount of

along the river and the branches. The Narariod,
however, a new vessel belonging to Captain Good,
rich, was lying off Goodrich’s docks, and tried to
run not, but stuck just beyond and behind Hath
bone's stove manntactory on the north side of the
river and sank there, her boilers now being just
visible. Eight or nine schooners and brigs were
also caught near Ibe mouth of tho river, and burn
ed to the water's edge. From Hush street bridge
cast, on tho north bank, the coal heaps ore In a
blaze. Rathbone's piece, and oil immediately cast
of that, arc safe. Rush street bridge Itself is a
hopeless and utter wreck, as is also the State street
one.
THE GREAT WHOLESALE HOUSES
on River street bate been complelcly>wcpt away,
and nothing is left to give an Idea of what wan
once done there, except that in same placet there
is iron, and in another a quantity of lima which
has been effectually rulnod by the beat. Along
here were one or two burnt safes, and as many dis
gusted, bat BDComplaining, owners.
Water street is done for, and State street, from
the bridge to tho Flret National Bane, is in the
t .w|t condition. At the northwest corner of Clark
and Water streets one comcrofa building Is stand
ing, but ought to be taken down as soon as possl
hie.
THE SHERMAN HOUSE
has totally disappeared, and the remains in that
part of the city ate so scanty as lomake it almost
iin]>ossiblo to identify localities. On many of these
streets women and children were engaged in
COLLECTING SCRAPS
of Iron and all kinds of rubbish from the sUllhdt
building*. Some boy* had (baud ou Water street
a lot of China dull haWs, scorched hat unbroken,
and were carrying them off as relics. Three men
were also moving up (be river in a rowboat, intent
on doing a Utile wrecking; If they got a chance.

now known to be in die city, and the presump

prudent one possible. The orders to the mntluoU

bad only reached Ohio street, when suddenly and
in an instant, the roof was and the’

buildings intervening were untouched,
and It seemed as If an invisible
tongue of flame shut across and slincfc tbe roof

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1871.
The Cmcxoo Tninot has opened ita offices at
Ko. 15 South Canal street. West Division, and the
paper will hereafter be regularly issued from that
place UU farther notice.
THE ENFORCEMENT OP DEBTS.
There is an impression prevailing
among many persons that our peo
ple are to suffer the rigors of a per
secution of debtors, with all the
concomitants of enforced payments
by foreclosure of mortgages, trust
sales, proceedings in bankruptcy
and forfeiture of collaterals. Ko
apprehension of this kind need be
entertained. The insurance com
panies will do much better than was
anticipated. The calamity that has
fallen upon the city has become a
public one. The whole nation sym
pathizes with us, and is nobly offer
ing to bear a part of our loss. The
capitalists of Connecticut have
bravely offered to sacrifice their cap
ital invested in insurance, and look
to the nation at large to repay them
in increased premiums. Capitalists
in other States are doing the same.
No creditor will have any sympathy
from the public in his
pound of flesh. Time will be given
for the most liberal arrangements.
Our commercial honor must be sus
tained, and we shall have the for
bearing aid of our creditors. Even
should there he any attempt to pro
ceed rigorously against the property
that has been saved, it will be im
possible to succeed in it. Each in
dividual loss is but an item of the
whole, and must be treated as sucb^
"We have no courts in operation.
When they do resume it will he to
deal with a vast national calamity,
and not with the particular claim of
each creditor against each debtor.
Public calamities call for different
treatment. The courts will find
their dockets clogged with the busi
ness of the past, without records,
and vast interests involved in the
long and slow process of litigation,
without any beginning place, and
without a single original paper.
Kew suits must take their turn, and
must await some general policy.
Until time has been afforded for all
this, until the public disaster has
been remedied sufficiently to enable
the courts to proceed understand
ingly, all new private demands must
■be postponed. There can be no
snap judgments, no cut-throat en
forcements, no foreclosures, no hur
ried executions of trusts. The
courts will not permit, nor will pub
lic opinion tolerate any such action.
Our people will pay what they owe,
but there will be ample time for so
doing, and the most liberal terras
will be extended to ali honest men
and firms. No citizen need expect I
that he will be harassed, nor have
the little he has left taken from him.
No man need apprehend that his
homestead or his other property u ill
be swept away from him by legal
proceeding. "We are all debtors
as well as creditors, and we arc all
in that condition where we may ask
in the words of the Divine petition
for that forgiving spirit to he shown
unto us thnfr«jrergth- nv
Should any, howev•• .tfllr: vrt z'kd u
demand payment n j hng to the
letter of the bond, t.*-
interpose such cquii■ deln;-• as
will prevent the font* ce
from being abnsed for tb» purposes
of persecution or extennij;..ti on.
OUR BRETHREN OF THE
Our most grateful thank? are r
turned to the Cincinnati Com:.
for sending to us, without v;..
for orders, a complete font of tyo
distributed in cases to the St /.oa.s
Democrat for sending us in like r
manner sixty-five bundles of paper;
to the Cincinnati Gazette Enqui
rer for offering us everything that
we need and can find transportation
for; to the Aurora Beacon for its
prompt offer to print our newspaper
on its steam press; to the Dubuque
papers for similar offers. In every
quarter we have met from our breth
ren of the press a spirit of liberality
and kindness equalled only by the
munificent charity which has flowed
in to the suffering people of Chicago
from all quarters of this blessed
land. God he praised for such lov
ing hearts
We have two of Hoe’s eight-cyl
inder presses in the basement of the
Tribune building, one of which is
unharmed, and the other only slight
ly injured. The fire-proof build
ing. which itself resisted ev
crvthing except smelting furnace
heat, has saved thesfe now priceless
articles of machinery. It will he
some time before we can get the
•walls so secured that at will he safe
to commence work in our old quar
ters, hut our brethren of the press,
and the public, maybe assured that
no time will be wasted in getting to
work again on the corner of Dear
born and Madison.
CHICAGO RELIEF SOCIETF.
The Detroit Committee of Relief
for the Chicago sufferers, after care
ful investigation, have selected the
Chicago Relief Society to be the dis
tributing agency of their charity.
This society is an old and well dis
ciplined organization. Do the ex-
tent of its working force it is by far
the most efficient and economical
institution that we have- for tho dis
tribution of sucli,-;aid. .We trust
tbattbe coming contributions will
be to a large extent placed in. the
hands of this society.
REBUILD THE CITY.
All is not lost. Though four hun
dred million dollars’ worth of prop
erty has been destroyed, Chicago
still exists. She was not a mere col
lection of stone, and bricks, and
lumber. These were but the evi
dence of the power which produced
these things; they were but the ex
ternal proof of the high courage,
unconquerable energy, strong faith,
and restless perseverance which
have built up hero a commercial
metropolis. The great natural re
sources are all in existence; the
lake, with its navies, the spacious
harbor, the vast empire of produc
tion, extending westward to the Pa
cific; the great outlet from the lakes
to the ocean, the thirty-six lines of
railways connecting the city with
every part of the continent —these,
the great arteries of trade and com
merce, all remain unimpaired, undi
minished, and all ready for immedi
ate resumption. What, therefore,
has been lost? We have lost the
accumulated profits of twenty years
of prosperous growth. We have
lost the stock in trade on hand on
the night of the fire. "We have lost
money—but we have saved life,
health, vigor, and industry. We
have a dozen grain elevators yet re
maining. We have the material on
hand with which to replace those
which we have lost. We have, with
in 36 hours’ time, the whole country
to draw upon for supplies of every
description of goods. In two weeks
from the date of the fire our mer
chants can fill almost any order for
merchandise that maybe sent them.
The credit of Chicago is saved.
When the whole country has faith,
and hope, and confidence in us, there
will be no depression in Chicago it
self. The wholesale trade of the
city can be resumed at once. Tem
porary warebonses are being erect
ed, and business resumed. Let no
trouble be borrowed from the past.
All the losses of the fire, will in time
be passed into the great clearing
bouse, and the payment of balances
will be made easy for everybody.
Rich men have become poor; the
accumulations of years have been
destroyed but no one will sit down
and waste time crying for spilled
milk. Labor will be resumed. Pro
duction will be restored, and the
general trade and commerce of the
city will at once be resumed.
Let us avail ourselves of the lib
eral spirit which the country has
shown in our calamity. There are
no relentless creditors pressing us
for payment, foreclosing mortgages,
or demanding the full measure of l
their bonds. On the contrary, the
world is asking us to take money,—
unlimited credit, and go ahead,
leaving the past to be taken care of
in the future* when Chicago shall
have resumed her power and glory.
Let the watchword henceforth be:
CHICAGO SHALL RISE AGAIN.
others.
WORK! WORK!
"While the various cities in tho
United States are contributing in the
most lavish manner, both in money
and provisions, for the relief of onr
unfortunate sufferers, it is a matter
of extreme importance that the funds
should be applied in such a manner
as to afford relief to those who really
deserve it It seems to us, in this
emergency, this may be done, in
i at least, by affording.employ
ment to as many men as possible,
«t. This will
wai iuuur.

BAXKEKS' MEETING
Financial Intelligence,
A mooting of bankers was held yesterday at 2
'clock at the residence of C.T. Wheelor. About
eighty were present, representing neatly every
bank In the city. Mr. W. F. CoolbangU, President
of the Union National, was called to the chair, and
Mr. Ira Holmes, President of the Manufacturers
was cleclcd Secretary. Hr. Coolbaugh addressed
the gentlemen present in a brief speech, in which
bo said that all present knew tbo object of the
meeting, which was to adopt some uniform plan o
affording the most prompt and Jndlcloua roller
to the business community, that, notwithstanding
the enormous loss of property, Chicago still holds
her commercial position, and that tho energy, in*
tcgrlty, and intelligence which made Chicago
what It was are still hero. He believed that tbo
banks generally had saved cath enough to pay
from 25 to 40 per cent of their deposits; that,
after two days of careful consideration, tho In
surance companies would pay an average of not
less than 60 percent, and that this would tro a
long way toward insuring the ultimate collection
of nearly every dollar of their liabilities.
The Chairman was then requested to name a com
mittee of four to draft resolutions for publication,
expressing the views of tbo meeting, and stating,
ns near as possible, the course tho banks should
pursue In regard to tho payment of the claims of
their depositors, and tho continuation of tho busi
ness of tie banks. _ n
The committee thus nominated wore c. i>.
Blair, Esq., President of the Merchants' National;
L.B. Sidway, Esq., of the Slats Savings Institu
tion; L. Pierce. Esq., President of tho Third
National: and Sol. A. Smith. President of
the Menmants’ Loan Trust Company. Mr. W.
F. Coolbaugh was afterwards added to tho commit
tee, and Mr. Smith was elected Chairman. After
the committee retired for consultation, they con*
eluded that they wanted further time for consldera
tion In regard to wbat they can do for their deposi
tors, and adjourned, to meet again lor that purpose
at 7 o'clock p. m.
The subject of new locations for the banks w M
brought up, and there seemed to be a general ex
nrossioD In favor of locating In tbo Sooth Division

Telegraphic Despatches
and Press Com
ments.
Tho panic was not by any means confined to
Chicago. The country around, which had already
become much alarmed by the extreme drouth, tho
high winds, and the prevalence of prairie fires In
many quarters, took new terror from the first tid
ings from Chicago. Tho great fire was the topic Of
all talk aa early as II o’clock on Monday forenoon
In every railroad town In the Northwest. Even
cities and villages lying off from Iho routes which
run direct to Chicago were no exception, and the
telegraph offices were thronged ail day with peo
pie anxious to communicate with friends in Chica
go. This was Impossible, however, and so every,
body had nothlngbotter' than to wait eagerly for
each driblet of tidings that came from tho fated
city through the talking of the operators along the
line, or other fortuitous source.
A special mania of extra vigilance at once
set In la all citioe and villages throughout the
State. At JancfviUe all house fires wore atones
Interdicted In certain localities, and people went to
the bikers’ shops for supplies. Villages which
could not bout of a firo-englno began to protect
themselves by stationing barrels of water along the
streets. Superintendents of railroads sent out
vary strict orders about lights and locomotive
sparks. At one station, on (be Western Union. a
representative of THE TRIBUNE, waiting In vain
for an opportunity to bear whether his own house
and family wore aafo or lost, beard the station
master say to a grain shipper who desired a car for
Baiclnc or Milwaukee, ’'Toucan haro that car. I
bad it partly loaded for Chicago; but there is no
Chicago now, so the man won't want to ship.”
No Chicago! It was too true, so for u things
stood at that moment. And yotTHE TRIBUNE
r epresentative did not fall to put in a word for the
future In good Chicago style. “Walt a little,”
said be, “and see inhere isn’t a Chicago.’’ And
this sentiment was echoed by the party. The
country has not only groat sympathy for, but great
confidence In, Chicago.
tb* panic was Increased by tbo fact that marsh
fires were raging four mites to the south and six
teen.mllei to the westoflbe city. This, neverthe.
less, did not prevent the dispatching of three
of the city’s six engines to the
aid of Chicago. This act, when taken in connec
tion with the apprehension of fire at home, and
the fact that no man of business In Milwaukee
considered that he had a cool’s worth of comfort
In insurance, since Chicago bad already broken all
the companies, cannot be too gratefully appre
ciated. Nor was there apparent any of thu feeling
of rivalry or envy which has been said to char
acterise our neighboring city. Said one of the
city's best business man to our Informant, “It I 8
nobody buta narrow-minded fool that will talk of
Milwaukee being bcnefiited by ibis calamity to
Chicago. What Is your misfortune is ours too, and
that of the whole Northwest. As for trade, wo
haven’t goods enough here to serve a single day
of Chicago’s trade.”
In verification of the remark thst Chicago’s
calamity affects the whole Northwest, the grain
shippers of Milwaukee found, by ’Change hoarsen
Monday, that the banks would not advance a dollar
on shipments of gnir. because the bottom had
dropped out of the insurance business.
During the afternoon, Milwaukee was carrying
water and filling casks en the tops of her stores
andhonscs; mowing marshes to the southward;
swearing la special police to serve at night. These
ware pot on duty—a watchman to each block in
the city, while the iallltsry was called out for pat
rol duty. Thousands of people gathered at the
depot to see the 9 p. m. train come In and bear
the worst aboot the fire. Host of them were like
wise looking for friends who might, perchance, be
refugees from the city of the homeless, and need a
shelter tor the night. A train with a goodly sup
ply of provisions bad already gone forward to Chi
cago from the Chamber of Commerce of Milwau
kee, and the ’other favora, or proffers of favors,
were numerous. Among the latter was the offer
of presses kindly tendered to this paper by tho
Business Manager oftbe Sentinel. The TV ire
office had already been flooded with business from
the ‘*«»antry Inside” establishment of A. N. Kol.
logg. of Chicago. In abort, Milwaukee showed
herself a good neighbor on this occasion.
Pmaacßan. Oct. 9—Universal sympathy is felt
and expressed for tha sufferers by the Chicago ca
lamity. Basinets was In a great measure sus
pended daring the day. and the utmost excitement
prevailed. The City Cosncil, at a special meeting

PROCLAMATION BY GOVERNOR BROWN.
OP MISSOURI.
Jefferson City, Oct. 0, JSTI.
To the People o/JTittouri:
A calamity unparalleled In tbo bUlory of oor
country has befallen tbo great city of our sister
Slate. Half ofthe houscn of the people of Chicago
arc in ashes, and all of its business portion is de
stroyed. Every bank, railroad depot, insurance
office, newspaper establishment, every wholesale
bouse, all its accumulated products and food sup
ply, and nearly every trade appliance and elevators
are reported ns utterly consumed. Such disaster
will move the hearts, ot our citizens with tbo pro
foundest sympathy. Let ns unite likewise In tbo
most generous emulation, and extend the largest
possible aid to them in this tho hour of misfortune.
I, therefore, recommend ail counties, cities, towns,
and other corporations, to ail business and charit
able associations, and to the community at large,
to take Immediate steps to organize relief com
mittees to express tbc deep sorrow which Missouri
feels at this overwhelming affliction.' It was only
yesterday that they were united with you in con
gratulating you on your own soil and In your own
chief city, whilst their own homes were being de
stroyed. Let us respond by throwing open wide
our own doors to those who ora without shelter, by
sending bread and raiment at once, and by such
contributions ward off further distress, as the
generous heart of our own great State will be
proud to transmit, in recognition, too. of the warm
and Intimate feeling that Has heretofore so closely
bound our citizens together. I cannot forbear to
extend to all who have been thus stricken down in
the midst of an unbounded prosperity the since real
sympathy of Missouri’s sous and daughters in their
distress.

This has been afield, day in Wall street, and in

nothing to wblcn there ha* been the slightest ap
proach. with the one exception of the September
••Black Friday,” in 1869, and os compared with
that Ula by no means certain that in Its various
ramifications the Chicago fire of to-day* will more
than equal that long-tbdM-remcmberod occasion.
The European financial outlook has for some

in the domestic market*. Oar lost bank state

calculated to inspire confidence. Tbc disastrous
calamity which has now befallen Chicago is calcu

as to this Is added tho condition of and distrust in

Tbo Stock Exchange has witnessed a scene of

Justice to the palmiest days of the institution be
fore tbc last renovation was completed. A casual
looker-on during the time when tbo excitement was
atits highest would have imagined himself in the
midst of an orglo composed of denizens of tbo
realms of Satan, for the din was tremendous, the.
voices maniacal. tha gestures those of despair, the
faces upturned in the sea of head* distorted by the
most frightful grimaces, and nothing external ea-'
vorod of earthly things except tho Jaunty drear
.which denotes tbo true stock broker. Everybody
seemed possessed of one idea to sell his holding* 1
at whatever price they would fetch. So quickly 1
does a panic, like a mob. increase In violence ts ft i
moves on aver tbc troubled water* of speculation.
The' Western roods were the first to foci th
effects of a panic, bat os quickly as the fiames of ti:*
Chicago fire spread from house to house, so spre;nt
the reckless desire to sell out from stock ;o
stock, until the Long Room became a hol.j
caost for tho entire list. Down, down the
prices rattled. as. each telegram received, wes cl
a more disastrous nature than Us prcdecessr is.
Down, down, not stopping at fractions, bat er;■-h
fluctuation embracing an integer until tbo cay
closed, gloomy and weak, on* market which 1.. a
storied off with a fair amount of confidence; ojivii
brokers weary and Jaded with their labors, ir.<l
open bolder* despondent and sad.
In the very later dealings somo sort of trier
was restored, as strong houses stepped intollu
breach, and. by gigantic efforts, succeeded In piec
ing the upqu a firmer footing, with an up
ward reactionary tendency. But the morrow is
anxiously looked forward to, and It is feared tba
the decline of 3 to 11 per cunt to day will drag
down many houses.
Although the gold movement wa* dull and nnin

In the afternoon some very largo amounts of gold

THE CALAMITY.
One of those oulas-.ropbcs that pierce ail men’s
hearts has smitten u;o land. Tbo nation is in and
den mourning. *J. rcavemeni black and bitter
overshadows us. In cio destructive prostration of a
groat city. It ta u vi-itailon too terrible for words
—almost too appr.iiing for reflection. Wherever
lives a sympathetic 'out, there Is distress for the
scntiy that overwhelm* so many hundreds of thou
sands of onrfellowr.
None may ailemp. to measure the interests, tho
happiness, the treasured cares, tbc points of self
denying 1011, the harvests of generations of sacri
fice and labor, bound op In the safely of a metrop
olis. Who con bear to dwell upon the thought
that, though nil these to-day are shining In glo
rious strength, to-morrow they may be bat smok
ing ashes?
Let ns be excused from portraying the heart
anguish of the stricken multitudes who but lately
were rejoicing in the thrifty homes of Chicago. It
is too sod a picture. But let it be remembered.
Let it m t be forgotten that thousands of families
have suddenly been burled from affluence to pov
erty, tens of thousands from competency to indi
gence, and wherever In St. Louis or elsewhere a
citizen is fighting or haply thinks be bos won life's
battle for himself and bis homo-circle, let him, in
Heaven's name, sond what help ho can to the suf
fering In tho Lako City.
Tbc material disaster to our sister city cannot
now be computed. The later despatches will con
vey a hotter impression of it than can otherwise be
given. The main business portion of the queenly
metropolis of Illinois is fn ruin*. All the finest
bondings in the city, the trade palaces, the whole
sale establishments and their contents, the entire
business portion and a host of minor structures,
are gone. The loss will be stated at hundreds of
millions, and will be feltover tho world. Itisa
dreadful blow to a swiftly growing city, but they
are mistaken who think it will prove fatal. Chi
cago bos been the world's wonder in her rise, and
she is now the world’s sad wonder in her almost
unprecedented calamity.. She will now astonish
by the rapidity and success of her recuperation.
One year hence will witness orderly array* of new
and grander piles in place of those that arc now
smouldering to blackness.
It is thirty-four year* since' Chicago became a
city, with a population of somo four thousand.
Her growth la shown in tho following table:

Tbs energies that have effected these results will
hut gather fresh force and new volnme from the
present temporary check. Capital from abroad
will eagerly rush In to bnlld upon the old founda
tions and to occupy sites that have' proved to be
so golden. But the absolute loss to the wealth
and Industry of the' country will he irreparable. It
will bankrupt millionaires. Insurance companies
that have battled the billows of fire for decades will
go down before this storm. Mercs mile houses by
the scores will fall. Thera wilt be ruined and
wrecked fortunes by tbo hundreds. Armies ol
creditors will look for their does in vain. The
whole agricultural region tributary to and In turn
supplied by Chicago will suffer. Tbo centres of
capital in Inc East will tremble, and tbc shock will
be felt throughout the country. If any imagine
that from this dha;i*rto Chicago and the North
most other cities .r..d sections will permanently
gain, they ere mkraken. While there may-bo a

of soch a desolation, the details of such a mighty
agony, are Inwncsn ible. The calamity tonebea
the heart of the na!i»n. The telegraph wires arc
bnsily transmitting despatches conveying to the
sufferers asanrauces of the deepest sympathy, and
offers of assistance, and information that
on the way. Oor local colnms show how the peo
[tin of Cincinnati were moved and how energetical
y they acted.
Last evening we bad throe steam fire engines In
Chicago, and wo may be sure they were a welcome
reinforcement to tie exhausted firemen of that
city. Early this morning a train loaded with blank
ets, clothing and provlßlona;wlU reach the scene
of desolation, and no doubt thu tun thousand
blankets and fifty thousand loaves of bread will be

Happily tho railroads, of which Chicago la such a

Tbo rotations ;f Cincinnati with Chicago were
those of contiguous neighborhoods. There is hard
ly a family In this city that does not numher in
Chicago relatives ami dear friends, and the Im
possibility of hearingfrom them during the teutons
and distressing boura of yesterday, sharpened Our
sense -of .'calamity,. One might telegraph, but
where could a despatch reach u friend in the hor
rible ruins, or ihc innumerable multitude of wan
derers in the elreeca! .'Many must have perished In
the awful torrent which swept over the place as I
the Niagara rapids were all flames and moving
through the doomed city. Tim sick. Ihc delicate,
the a <T ed. the little children berried at midnight
into the blazing streets, and it is certain that many
lives were lost, and that many more cave lost health
and perhaps reason itself.
The conditioner the city, last night, was most
melancholy. The gas-works were destroyed, so
there was no Hgbtexcvpt the ghastly Illuminations
from the rntns. The water-works were destroyed,
and there was a great scarcity of water even to
drink. The newspaper offices all destroyed, the
Post Office gone, the telegraphic communication
with the world through offices in the snhnrbs-the
people overwhelmed in the common rain arc hard
ly able to communicate with eacholhcr. But they
will know soon, however, that their friends have
not forgotten them.
Such a calamity cannot be the result of an acci
dent. Its causes are adequate, and Its lessons
should be impressive and effectual. The conditions
of a mighty conflagration were present in Chicago,
and the people were fully aware of their existence.
The well built business portion of the city, near
tbo main branch of the Chicago Kivcrand the
lake, was backed by an immense number of
wooden homo?, and flanked by pleasant residences
and parks along the lake.
The wooden part of the town, become a vast mass
of kindling in the drouth of Ihc last throe months,
was fired on Saturday night, and the city was al-.
I ui.'st destroyed then. There was wanting but a
I good elan for tl<» sire In the wooden town, and a
I strong wind lo.vard the lake to carry a mess of
I perfectly irrcilstlb’e against the brick and
ctene r, d ;he city. On h’uaday night there

of the heat, ami the volume of the fire tecathu -o i
groat, that tin* lofty structures of the busings i
streets melted like wax. and the prodigious flood
of flame poured through to the lake, and swept
north, as far as it could find material, and south,
until General Sheridan stayed ita jtrogress by
blowing up blocks of buildings. Not only Ihc
business portion of the city, but many of the finest
residences are destroyed.
A good number of the flue residences on the
South Side remain, and there arc a great many
small dwellings still standing in the western part
of the city. Those who are familiar with the city
can. with the aid of our map. come to accurate con
clusions ns to the relative proportions of the ciiy
saved and destroyed.
The lesson of the Chicago disaster is that wc
must not bnild so fast, and that wc most make onr
booses more secure. Paris would have been ut
terly destroyed last summer if it bad not been a
city of stone. London would have perished in the
flames long ago if her builders did not habitually
put up heavy walls and roots that resist fire. Wo
most make baste more slowly and more surely.

NEW YORK.
From the Now York Evening Post. Oct. 3.
The excitement In this city to-day In regard to
the Chicago Are is Intense. Many of the leading
operators in the stock market were in receipt of
frequent advices, on which they predicated their
action.
Aa a natural consequence of the tremendous de
struction of railway property, thestock market be
came very panicky, uml In the Western stock* es
pecially the decline was great. Fortunes were
tost in a moment.
Men who went home on Saturday night conn-,
deni In their pre?cut wealth, and their ability still
to augment It, came to their husine-a this morning
onlv to And that the earnings of a lifetime of bnsi
nes’s enterprise and earnest, persistent labor had
been sweot away at one blow by tire.
Our money article will more fully show the effect
of the news upon the stock list, and it will suffice
to mention iu this place that the decline In some
of the stocks —notably Lake Shore—is as much as
six percent.
Tnc scene In the Stock Exchange was one of the
wildest ever witnessed there. Demoniac yells,
such as one beard In the Gold Room on Black tn
day In 15503,' announced the struggles of desperate
men to save at least a Utile from their wrecked
fortunes. Gestures of despair, faces pale with
mortal fear, racked by anguish such as one well
may wUh never to see a second tunc, greeted one
on every side. The scene was painlully Interest
ing and exciting. To a stranger It would hare
seemed that the assemblage of well-dressed men
before him was Insane.
Many a broker who saw his fortune rapidly sup
ping from his grasp, without having the power to
stay tt. was temporarily mad, and with good rea
son. As the news came In from Chicago it added
to tbo excitement* and the board la still in a tur
moil such os has not been witnessed since the
famous break in Rock Island last summer.
If it ehonld prova true that the business part of
Chicago baa been nearly all destroyed by the Are,
aa the telegrams assert, it will seriously affect New
York, as the losses will have to be borne largely
bv this city. A goodahareof the insurance will
fall OnNow York companies; a great deal of money
lent im grain destroyed was New York capital;
goods marketed by New York merchants in Chi
cago during the fall trade, and which have not yet
been paid tor, will represent almost a total losa
and much Chicago grain paper that baa been redis
counted here wlihlu the last six weeks, will be io-l
totho New York bauka. The capital required to
build up the town will also have to come,in a great
measure, from here.
Thecxcitemcm In this city iu regard to the Chi
cago Are is hourly on the Increase, and the most
intense desire for lurtber Information U exhibited
in all parts of the city, and among all classes of the
community. What the effect of the calamity will be
here It Is at this time Impossible to foretell.
Among the provision merchants there is the
greatest anxiety and uncertainty A rnmor that
six grain elevators, with seven million bushe.s of
wheat, had been destroyed Induced many mer
chants who had a large Block of grain to rotuso to
Mil, the effect being an increase cf three to four
cents per bushel. Others, however, do not believe
that tnere was that amount of grain in Chicago
when the fire broke out. It Is also reported that
9,U00 barrels of lard were destroyed, and this. If
true, will undoubtedly affect the provtiion market,
as the stock of lard la this city is very small. On
the otherhaud, it Is said, and generally believed,
that the packing houses are without the boundaries
of the conflagration, and that In consequence the
price of provisions will not be materially affected.
It Ik quite impossible to ascertain tho names of
Insurance companies in this city who have suf
fered.
Post Master Jones has delegated S. H. Knapp,
tho Superintendent of Mails ol the New York office,
to leave at once fur Chicago to attend 10 tbe inter
ests of New York merchants, and to lake charge of
all malls coming cast. Hr. Knapp will leave this
evening.
THB RUINED CITY.
From tbe Dobaqne (Iowa) Times.
Our telegraphic columns are bunluncd this morn
ing with accounts, unavoidably meagre, but yet
sufficient In details to show that tho whole country
Is brought face to fccowitb tbe direst calamity that
ever visited any people. That Chicago, the great
metropolis, the homo of gcolas, the birth-place ol
deathless energies, which bod changed a tenantless
morass in less than a quarter of a century into one
of tbe finest and most nourishing cities, should
have been destroyed in a day I Nothing of <lk
kind before bos ever surpassed this in complete
and terrible rain. Tbe great fire In Londou, in
iGOi, did hardly equal iu The thought of tnls
•weeping calamity is overwhelming; the magni
tude of the disaster can only be conjectured.
Whether we look apon it in tbe light of its awfm
misery and destruction of life, orooly In Its ruin
ous business aspect.the thought la appalling, Hun
dreds of human beings wrapped np in the merci
less ftames—no possible means of escape, ana
a honored thousand turned oat homeless
—it may be penniless—to brave tbe
rigors of an approaching cold ami dreary winter.
Thousands who, on last Sunday morning, enjoyed
uumes of- luxury, now stripped of everything they
possessed. The frolts ofmteen or twenty years ol
toil destroyed in a single night. Well may the
contemplation also great a calamity callout the
warmest sympathies of the people of the entire
country, and it is not matter lor surprise that our
citizens have taken such prompt and eflccUve
measurcs to help alleviate the stihenngs of the late
residents of the ruined city. 1c were indeed
strange if a sparing hand was not stretched forth
at ibis lime in aid. With the Mayor of that
doomed metropolis appealing to Milwaukee—and
not In vulu—for'sustenance to keep a hundred
thousand homeless people from furnishing with
hunger, it only.becomes our people to open their
hands, their stores, and treasure houses, and give
freely, and to give to ibe nimosl of their capacity.
Bat it is when tbe thought is uppermost of the
wide-spread, probable rum which ibis destruction
of tbe.great Western metropolis entails, that we
stand most appalled.-- When those rows of stately
edifices wont down, and the grand monuments oi
unequalled enterprise crumbled, there was beard
the taint, echoes of financial crashes which mat
reach every city* In‘ho Onion. The capital In the
coffers of her insurance companies was that which
stood plodged-to tbe safety of millions worth ol
property in distant Western cities, and these secu
rities having shared the fate of other property de
stroyed. a dread feeling of insecurity must natural
ly seize upoaevery merchant or real estate owner
in the country.' And what may come no tongue
dare or can predict. Rut it is tho part of wisdom
to maintain calmness in the trial, and not by Inju
dicious counsels aggravate tho evils wc fear.
There is left one single and important duly, and
tbat is to USO. unremittingly every safeguard
against fires in our power. Both public ana pri
vate means should be given liberally and wisely to
this end.
From the London (Canada) Free Pres?, Oct. 10.
Ono of the greatest calamities that, ha* ever af
flicted a community baa fallen upon Chicago. Dm
yesterday it was tbo pride of the West; tbt» marvel
of modern times: to-day it lies for, the most part a
heap of smouldering ashes, Its beauty gone, iu
magolflceoco destroyed, nod misery stamped upon
its houseless inhabitants. A dozen short hours
hare been sufficient to dethrone and humble in
tbo dust one of tho greatest emporiums of which
commerce could boast, and to scatter before the
winds the untold riches that have been poured
into Its lap. Where prosperity had flzed, ns it
were, her chosen teat, destruction and destitution
now reign*: where thousands of happy famllie
congregaled. la now a desolated spot. So swift, so
terrible a disaster afflicts one a* with a paralysis,
and strike with dumbness those who can approach
to a realization of the terrors that bare been en
acted, and endeavors to compote tbo misery that la
present ana has to come.
How and when Is tho magnificence of Chi
cago to be restored J From what source wl.l
como tho capital and material lo bntld op that
which -has been consumed The great Ore at
Portland, some years since, was not one-twentieth
so terrible in anger as this hat been, and yet it is
but jnst now reconstructed. Winter, too, will soon
beherc, to, delay any• operations that might bo
otherwise possible, and this reason will postpone
to the spHng aoUre operation!!. It Is ilkaiy, then,
that tbteoorfonr years will elapso before Chicago
resumes the poaitioo it occupied a short day since.
'lt bad given sore Indications of a well-founded
vitality and commercial pre-eminence that even
this tremendous blow will rebound before it, tnd
the Chicago that will be will be still more magnifl-

THE GREAT CALAMITY.
Further Particulars of the
Destruction of
Chicago.
last f Missing—Losses
and Insurance, Etc.
The moment tbit General Sheridan assumed
command of the relief and police work of tho city
agreat improve mat was manifest in the ordei in
which the lab.w w is peifonned-
This may be ItH'aneed by the manner In which
the grand relief depot of the South Side was coo
dneted. Immediately after It became known that
the sympathy of other cities and villages was to
be manifested in a more palpable way than in
words, the necersity became apparent of organis
ing the work of dMribntlon in a manner to Jose no
opportunity of saving life.
The work was intrusted to Colonel James A.
Hardie, Inspector General on General Sheridan's
staff; and a large warehouse belonging to Tobey
Booth, situated on the comer of Eighteenth and
Grove streets, was selected as the scene of
disembarkation of the provisions which
began to arrive with unexampled ra
pidity from all directions. TbeHsl of places from
which the mjiplit s cime would be an ahnuet im
possible ta-x, and would u*r:ip!i-'c. in effect, a list
of all theta-ms and dries oa the Hers of theT.’R.
nuis Centra', .dichi- MwbLali Southern,
and Rock ad fluid-. Vtvse were all the
linos the’. found possible to accommodate
in this one ,-.ot. and tho event proved that,
work encash was thus provided.
C-.lcra' T Uordle. assisted by Mr. C. J. Aspel who
bad bean appointed by the Hoard of Trade, organ
iced a Urge corps of laborers and proceeded to un
load the cars as they coaid be brought to tho ware
house, and it is a peculiar com
mentary on the sympathy felt
for Chicago that the trains arrived with such rapid
ity. and so closely succeeded each other, that at no
time was it possible to stow away the provisions as
r ast as they arrived.
During the day and night of yesterday over sixty
fnll carloads of supplies were handled by
the force at work and the arrivals never ceased for
a moment.
Owing to the rapidity with which the work wont
on, and the Insufficiency of help, it woe fonnd im
possible tu r.-cord in any manner the amonnta or
article* *ent, or the places from which
they came. In many cases, indeed, there
won no record with the cars: no emblazonment of
the charity of the givers; the only Idea evidently
being to prevent suffering, and that too at the ear
liest possible moment. Some of the cars had short
inscriptions In chalk indicative of their
destination, like this: “From Alleghany
City to the Chicago Sufferers.” Olhcr#
bad no mark; and if they had it wonld do* have
been possible to have kept track of tbem, since
Colonclllaidie was not doing “paper work,” but,
to nse his own words. There must be no red tape
in this thing.” And there was no red tape; fora ß
Cast as the provisions came in at the track doo
they were seized by a second gang of men and
joadod into wagons on the Eighteenth-street front.
Here wens congregated every possible description
of vehicle, tarh blaring orders or requests for pro
visions from all paints In the city but most gen
erally from ;ho South Side. These requests were
generally cfroplied with, though, of course. In
many case* the authority of the person making the
order could n .t be ascertained.
The po;u:.« nf distribution to consumers were In
the chuich?s in most cases, and the scenes in these
were, to Uc3 s mild term, heartrending. Time and
space would fail :o recount the types of persons
who came in begging for aid and recounting their
stories, which were In tbe main" the aarnc. No ap
plicant for food was turned away, and the number
of families relic-ud was countless. The fact that
a large proporiinn t.f the supplies sent In wore al
ready cooked wry mnch lessened the labor of the
work, and rt udi’rcd possible a task which wonld
otherwise ha»e been unmanageable.
The k*r l .-.i,d character of tbe food supplies
which were dbcuibarked at the Eighteenth-street
warehouse were variable beyond- the imagination
of roan to cor.c-ive. It teemed as if the charities
of the donors ha 1 seat every thought of prudence
from their heads. Among the supplies may be
named coops of live fowls, hogsheads of sngar,
beads of cabb igr. hundreds of barrels of crackers,
beef In every form, cooked, dried, pickled, and
raw, pork in Its pn-»<*rved and native state, bags
of coffee, barrels of flour, bread both fresh and
hard, hundred* of packages of bacon, Jars and bar
rels of doughnuts, cheese in all sorts of packages,
every kind of cake: and. In short, nearly every
varietv of eatable known to the bill of fare of the
not forgetting Llmbnrger kasc and saner
The great need of the dtyas developed by tbe
work of distribution on the South Sldclsnotat
present more perishable eatables. Over one
hundred cars were in the city on yestciday waiting
to be unloaded; and, fmm the contents of those
readied, 11 la fair to assume that nearly all of tbem
contain articles which will not be useful after a few
days. Of course Chicago appreciates the kind
ness of her numberics* friends; but it may not he
ont of the way to make a suggestion to those who
have not vet forwarded their collections. Colonel
Bardic t&lnks that the great wants of tbe dty are
now coffee, candies, clothing; and. above all. coal.
The example of Detroit, elsewhere mentioned. Is a
commendable one.
THE DEAD.
Adead-bonso bus been extemporised la a livery
stable, No. C 4 Milwaukee avenue, and thither,
since Monday morning, the charred fragments ol
humanity have been carried. At noon yesterday
the scene wa? one of the most horribly peculiar
ever witnessed. At the door wore stationed Offi
cers George Mitchell. Parker, Smith, and special
policemen, and a long line of persons anxious to
obtain a glimpse of the remains. That the bodies
were burned beyond recognition they were told
most peremptorily, but a morbid cariosity and a
feeling of certainty that they, at least, could recog
nize what no ono else could, kept a large crowd at
the door. At S o'clock a string was formed, reach
ing possibly half a block. The police allowed the
men to go In by tens, and then, after a look, le 1
them go again. At this rate it was found that
103 persons cirae in every twenty minutes,.or 300
perbonr. The same order was maintained until 6
o'clock last evening, by which time 8,000 visitor*
bad been admitted. They were principally Swedes
and Germans, from what bad been the North Side,
the fact tbit a majority of the bodies bad been
found In :h*» vicinity of Chicago avenue and the
iver naturally bringing together the foreign pop
ulation living in that locality.
At the further end of the stable, In a recess,
were lying no less than seventy charred bodies.
To say tb *y were unrecognizable Is to describe
their condition very feebly. Of the seventy but
four wero of human form, the others bcingbnmcd
ontof all shape. Against the extreme wall was
lying one man of far above the ordinary size. He
bad been sn'Vocilcd, for his limbs, while drown up
as if indicating extreme agony, vtcre nnbnrot.
Another body, whose clothing still remained, was
parUally covered np. The head and face were not
entirely contained, not so sickening were their ap
pearance tbit the officers covered them up. Jnet
beyondthUoue was abody quite untonebedby
the flame*, the clothing bearing i-ot a single mark
of fire. This man had also been suffocated. He is,
apparently, a Gcrmah. aged 35 years, and has a
light mos'acln and chin whiskers. Near the door
lies at fall length abody. apparently that of a
young colored man. The anna arc drawn np, and
the clothe.- burned entirely off, with the exception
of a pair of hosvy boots.
Of these bodies two arc said to have been recog
nized—those of Henry J. Oman and Peter O'Brien.
Which they wetc,and bow they were identified is
not knowr.
The officer* maintain the strictest order, and
none bnt the qumtest and most decorous behavior
is allowed.
The Coroner 1* expected to hold an inquest to
day. A number of plain pine coffins are piled up,
and ho bamed r.rc some of the bodies that three or
four of them ronld be placed in one coffin.
Tickets were placed on each mass of remains*
but they on'd no; he reached. Indeed, any hope
of recognizing any bnt two of those described
would he vain.
Two bodies more were found on Stale street, be
tween Mour-> «;i 1 Adams streets, late yesterday
afternoon. Tin y were found on the west side of
the street. rt il.e second and fourth doors south of
ibe alley. Dr. Wood pronounced them to be the
remainder two wen. They were removed to the
Morgue.

Wednesday Evening, Oct. 11..
Businesslsftrfrombeing paralyzed by the late
Arc, though there Is necessarily a'temporary ces

iness la very t»**ie mi th people are already
moving, and beJ iro mail? da there will be a re

old order of tilings, an ;-.*g,iiJ* the magnitude of
oor transaction*.,
The Director! of the C*rab -r of Commerce Ar-
Bociatiou held a njjcilng t> dry. and decided to re*
build Immediately cu the old site. D. A. Jones.
George C. Walker, mid J. L. Hancock were ap‘
pointed a committee to attend to the matter, with
fell power to act There was. an insurance of $225,-
000 on the building, of which about SIOO,OOO will
probably be obtained from the Insurance compa
nlca.
The preaent Board of Trade Rooms, on South
Canal street, between Washington and Madison,
were crowded to-day from an early to a late hour.
No commercial business was transacted, the mem
bers being chiefly engaged In organizing for the
r ?lief of the sufferers, by furnishing food, where
required, frpm the stores so liberally contributed
from other cities, and in answering questions on the
thonsandaud one topics brought op for discussion.
-The great business topic was the settlement eg
produce contracts remaining' unsettled on Bator
day last. The majority of' the board seem to be In
faTorofwlplng out everything outstanding then
and commcndnganew. This proposal Is opposed
however,by so large a minority that the discussion
at the meeting to be held on Satarday-aftemoon
next promises to be a very protracted and exciting
one. Till that point is settled very little trading
will be'done, other than a little betting on the
future of prices.
A little grain is coming In. and more wonld be
received were It not that the railroad facilities are
largely taxed in the work of carrying out parties
wbo wish to leave the city, and in brlnglngln the
contributions, of supplies from other cities.
There is :a little more' being' done
In moving' grain ...out, the
block in the river interferes aadly.with the move
ment of vessels, audit is difficult.to_obtain advan
ces on shipments in the absence of insurance*
Nevertheless, four cargoes were loaded yesterday
—the Coleredge, at the City Elevator, to take out
18.000 bu No. 3 spring wheat, and 9,000 bn oats;
the Oaklcaf.attbe Northwestern, to carry but IS,*
000 bu No. 9 spring; the Reindeer, from the North*
Western, to carry out 20,00) bu No. 1 spring; and.
the Nims, at Armour, Dole ACo 0., to taki-
33.000 bn wheat. A cargo of oats was ottered, her
was not taken for want of insurance' on the vei-^ci.
The advices from' European markets.lndicate an.
easierfeetiog In grain. A private telegram from
Liverpool says that the weather Is. fine'
and the feeling favorable to a de
cline !q prices. New York was quoted
yesterday as follows: Flour steady: wheat firm at
$1.58 to $1.60; com in good demand at79aßlc;
oats quiet, 33a55c; whiskey, 95c; pork quiet

LIVE STOCK.
Since onr last report the receipts have been 3,760
cattle; 4,500 bogs; 650 sheep; and shipments 1,300
cattle; and 5,000 hogs. Owing to the absence of
bank accommodations, comparatively little. busi
ness is being transacted in the lire stock market,
the bulk of the arrivals of the past font days hav
ing been reloaded and forwarded East on owners'
account. Those shippers and city batchers known
to be responsible are being supplied with stock
oh thfclr" promise to pay.” There appears to be
no foundation for fears of a scarcity of meat, as tbe
daily arrivals at the stock yards promise to prove
more than ample to meet the consumptive demands
of the city. We are informed that Superintendent
J. B. Sherman baa notified General Sheridan that
should tbe necessity arise, tbe 'yards will be
thrown open and whatever stock they may contain
turned over to the city.. Values are, of course,
much unsettled and most continue so for the pres
ent; or until the banks have partially "righted
up." Tbe little stock sold changed hands at
prices not varying materially from those current
last week. We quote good to choice beeves at
siiO®s.SS; common to medium do at $3-£o£p4.oo,
and Inferior thin Jots at Hogs are
selling at a range of S4XO@4 AO for common coarse
beery and light mixed lots to choice even droves.

REMOVE THAT LUMBER!
Fires are burning in the .coal heaps
on the river, ami it happens that al
most ever}’ burning coal heap is flank
ed on the-west 'side of the river by
lumber piles. If the wind. should
shift to the cast and drive hot
cinders into this mass of pine, it
would probably burn, notwithstand
ing there are a number of steam fire
engines handy, and plenty of water
for them to throw. The owners of

r oiice, not only for the safety of their
property hut for that of all West
Chicago.
