Latent Dixpatebea from Chicago. 
[Concluded from page 257 , this number.] 
CHICAGO, Oct. ll.—The tiro Is completely sub¬ 
dued, and has not spread since noon yesterday. 
In the burned district, about nine square miles, 
everything is u mass of ruins, though the hank 
vaults are believed to be In good order. The 
city is practically under martial law, for the 
streets wore patrolled all night by squads of sol¬ 
diers and citizens. All ttie members of the Fire 
and Health Departments net asspcei.il police. 
Many thieves, burglars and Incendiaries werear- 
rested last night, and they were generally dis¬ 
posed of in a (summary manner, ft is rumored 
that 41 ruffians were shot during the night. The 
station houses ate also tilled with prisoners. The 
Mayor has Issued u proclamation warning all per¬ 
rons against the commission of any net tending 
to endanger property, and snys that, with the 
help of God and Gen. Sheridan, lie will preserve 
order at all hazards. The destruction of the wa¬ 
ter works was complete, and yesterday water 
hftd to lie hauled by teams from I .alee Michigan, 
a distance of from three to five miles. To-day, 
however, water was let Into the pipes in the 
South Division, and now all the populated por¬ 
tions of the city are supplied with it. 
A great deal of suffering has occurred among 
tlie people who were obliged to camp outon the 
prairie since Monday night. Quite a number of 
deaths have resulted from exposure. Gen. 
Sheridan issued 800 tents hud evening, and 10,000 
more will bo issued to-morrow. The Relief 
Committee has impressed all kinds of vehicles 
to carry water and provisions to the starving 
people, and are bringing them into the churches 
and school-houses on the west, and south sides. 
Immense quantities of provisions have arrived, 
many car-loads being cooked and ready for dis¬ 
tribution. The Committee have telegraphed to 
several places to stop sending more at present. 
Twenty car-loads of provisions and lo.otio blan¬ 
kets came from Cincinnati and twenty cars 
from St. Louis. Large, quantities of provisions 
have arrived from other el lies. Now York has 
made tenders of large amounts of money, many 
of her citizens giving $10,000 each. The Com¬ 
mon Council has passed an ordinance living the 
price of bread at eight cents for a loaf of Hi 
ounces, and fixing n penalty of $10 for a viola¬ 
tion of tliis ordinance. Al! the railroads leading 
out of Chicago are carrying, free of charge, such 
of the homeless as have friends in other places. 
Tlie Relief Committoo from Cincinnati arc 
putting the munificent contributions of that 
city into shape which will not only prove of 
great practical benefit to the sufferers, but will 
make the assistance rendered pernmiicnt for the 
winter. They are erecting an immense soup 
house, complete in all details, at Lho rear of the 
freight depot of the Great Eastern Railroad, in 
the vicinity of west-side. Hy to-morrow they 
will be ready to distribute fi.OOO gallons of soup 
daily. Shanties are building upon open lots in 
convenient localities, and will tic made as com¬ 
fortable ns possible for temporary occupancy. 
All the banks in the city will, with scarcely a 
doubt, lie able to resume business. A number 
of bank vaults have boon opened, and their 
contents, without exception, wore uninjured. 
Every bonk In the city claims that in Hina it 
will be able to pay every dollar of its indebted¬ 
ness. 
The total loss of grain is now definitely ascer¬ 
tained to be 1,600,000 bushels. Four vessels were 
loaded with grain for the East to-day, and the 
Eastern movement will continue, ns there are 
fully 5,000.000 bushels now in store. 
Chicago, Oot. 13 .—There was no renewal of 
the fires last night, and nothing occurred to dis¬ 
turb the city. Gon. Sheridan has completo con¬ 
trol, and confidence is fully restored. 
The Relief Committee is now thoroughly or¬ 
ganized, with O. E. Moore, President, and David 
A. Gage, Treasurer. TheCommiftce met in con¬ 
junction with the Council, and decided that all 
moneys should bo received by Duvid A. Gage. 
Probably 40,000 people were fed yesterday. Pro¬ 
visions are siili coming In from ull directions. 
J. W. Preston lias general charge of the receiv¬ 
ing of supplies. 
Temporary dwellings arc building in every di- 
rection, and by Saturday night- there will be 
hundreds of houses ready for occupation. There 
is a marked change in (lie spirit ol the people. 
The first feeling of utter prostration has given 
way to oonlldenoo. The burned district Is no 
longer an object of Interest, save as to the situa¬ 
tion of sites for rebuilding. Every business 
man who can find a shed In which to resume has 
begun business again. Country debtors are re¬ 
mitting their claims, and the insurance solvency 
beoomes more and more promising. Business 
will be resumed ns usual at the Livestock yards 
to-morrow. 
Gov. Palmer lias oalled the Legislature togeth¬ 
er. It will assemble at Springfield to-morrow. 
A committee from this city will go down to¬ 
night to suggest measures ot relief. Gov. Hayes 
of Ohio has been hero for the past three days 
assisting in the good work. He issues sugges¬ 
tions to the people of Ohio to push energetically 
their efforts to raise contributions. The Hon. 
Joseph Modill of The. Tribune estimates the 
number to bo provided for during the comiug 
winter at 70,000. 
Gen. Sheridan makes a request, through the 
associated press, of the people of the country, 
to dissuade those who are anxious to visit Chi¬ 
cago from mere curiosity, from coming. Thou¬ 
sands of this class are here now, without shelter 
or accommodation, and they must be fed and 
oared for the same as the sufferers. $ 100,000 were 
subscribed to-day toward rebuilding the Cham¬ 
ber of Commerce on the site of Its ruins, and 
work upon it will be commenced at once. 
Wholesale dealers in provisions, flour and 
lumber refused to take advantage of the situa¬ 
tion, but continue to sell their goods at the old 
prices. The same is title of coal dealers who 
have any stock loTt. 
Mayor Mason issues the following appeal : 
“Clothing and all protection from the cold will 
be needed through the coming win term well as 
now; seud such articles forward in as large 
quantities as possible. Collect money, and hold 
it subject to our order. Send provisions that 
will keep; cooked meats may spoil before we 
can distribute them. Aid arrives liberally now, 
and wo want to husband our resources as much 
us possible, for a loDg winter is before us, and 
suffering will continue until our laboring classes 
uro enabled to sustain their families."

The Importation of valuable articles through 
the mails and evasion of tlie Customs Revenue 
laws has been the subject of consideration at 
the Treasury Department during the past week. 
To what extent the Government, hns been de¬ 
frauded it is impossible to say, but the practice 
of sending diamonds hy let ter from Europe to 
this Country, it i$ known, has existed tnr sotuo 
time past. The Beerotary of tlie Treasury will 
submit to the Postmnsicr-Generui, in a few days, 
a system of regulations for the protection of the 
Government. It is proposed that wherever for¬ 
eign malls are received such letters as contain 
more than written mailer shall he retained, ami 
the party addressed Informed that aiettorawnits 
personal examination at the Post Office. If tlie 
letter Is to bo forwarded to an interior city tho 
postmaster of Hint city is to be instructed not 
to deliver the same until lie is satisfied that tho 
Contents are not subject to Hie tariff. By ilie 
strict observance of this plan the present system 
of evading the revenue law will bo broken up.

I^ngla u«l. 
London, Oct. 11 .— The cliief topic of interest 
here, in all circles, Is the calamity which has 
overtaken Chicago. At the clubs, news rooms, 
in Ilie parlors of hotels, and wherever men were 
assembled, the appalling disaster was talked 
about, and tlie briei accounts discussed which 
have been transmitted through the cables. 
At first the telegrams were regarded as great¬ 
ly exaggerated, but as each succeeding dispatch 
confirmed and increased 1 lie extent of the losses, 
and private advices began to be received, n feel¬ 
ing of sympathy was aroused, and 11 desire was 
manifested to contribute in some effective man¬ 
ner to the relief of the sufferers. Tin's disposi¬ 
tion was quickly directed in the proper Channel 
by prominent gentlemen and firms opening sub¬ 
scription lists, and volunteering to receive and 
forward contributions. The lion. Hugh McCul¬ 
loch, J. S. Morgan & Co., and other American 
bankers were among 1 I 10 first to take active 
measures in this behalf. Tho subscriptions are 
already fiowing in liberally, and a largo sum of 
money will be telegraphed to the order of prop¬ 
er persons in America Within a few days. 
At Liverpool a committee lias been organized, 
who have already made arrangements to dis¬ 
patch a cargo of food and clothing for tho desti¬ 
tute poor at Chicago. No time will lie lost, ns

lar agents within his Jurisdiction, requesting 
their active aid and participation in Hie work of 
collecting and forwarding contributions, within

The Times, this morning, has a leader on tlie 
subject. It deplores the fire, the news of which 
is Brought by cable, and hopes the dispatches 
may have magnified the loss, 'flic writer de¬ 
clares his faith in the energy of Americans and 
in the resources of Chicago, and earnestly wishes 
that the unfortunate city and its suffering in¬ 
habitants may promptly recover from tliecffects 
of the disaster. 
Other Journals make the same topic promi¬ 
nent, Several of them relate the munificence

pay that kindness, but must aid to restore the 
city, which lias been regarded asa monument of 
American enterprise.

THE MARKETS. 
MONEY AND TEADE AFFAIRS. 
New York. Saturday, October 14,1871. 
The Chicago calamity created a wide-spread panic 
on the Stock Exchange early in the week, and this 
was greatly aggravated by the sudden and very 
heavy sacrifices to which the Brokers ami their cus¬ 
tomers were made subject by the iall of s<RpofJ>, iz per 
cent, in many of the Western Road Stocks and the 
Stocks of the Pacific Mail and Western Telegraph. 
The sales from necessity were enormous, and while 
many’ of the speculators in the bearish interest, who 
were short of the market, covered their accounts 
and tealized their profits, others of this class followed 
the market down and in some instances, wc regret 
to say, added fuel to the excitement by impeaching 
private and corporate credit on the steps of the Ex¬ 
change. This occurred on Thursday night, when 
prices were at their lowest, and the pressure for 
money greatest, On Friday morning the feeling 
improved, and with a generous forbearance and a 
little more mutual confidence, there is hope that the 
WOTSt of the panic may soon be told. The real 
causes ol tremble arc serious enough, certainly, with¬ 
out conjuring up calamities in prospect, which cannot 
occur except from the most persistent and malicious 
croaking. 
The Fire Insurance Companies arc serious losers. 
Several in this City and Providence, R. I., have 
been bankrupted, together with most if not all the 
local offices at Chicago. Others arc heavy losers, 
here, and In Boston, and in Hartford, and also in 
London and Glasgow. The Foreign Offices proba¬ 
bly lose, altogether, about £t, 500,000 or •£2,000.000 
sterling, or $7,y>>0,000 or $10,000,000, which sums will 
be immediately drawn for, by telegraphic direction 
of the offices to their agents here. The American 
losses it is impossible, at picsent, to estimate. 
The event came upon the New York market with 
the Banks well expanded, and with troubles of our 
own growing out of the robberies of the City and 
County’ treasury’ and tlie seriously increased debt of 
both. These, with fhe breaking up of many’ of the 
Tammany Ring speculations in Wall Street, arc a 
source of additional embarrassment, and a cause of 
distrust, which, coming at a season of accidental 
calamity in the West, aggravate the financial situ¬ 
ation. 
The Public Stocks of the U nited States, constituting 
the readiest and most reliable portion of the assets of 
the F ire Insurance Offices, were the first thrown on 
the market. They are in constant demand in Europe, 
and although Exchange fell to 10S per cent., (2 per 
cent, below the actual par of Gold as a remittance,) 
the decline in U. S. 5-20S, on enormous sales, is only 
2% per cent. Tlie Treasury Office bought $4,000,000 
for the Sinking Fund on Wednesday; selling only 
$1,000,000 Gold next day The price of Gold remains 
steady’, J14H per cenL 
General trade has not been so seriously interfered 
with, although there is necessarily some interruption 
to the tnoveiiiont of Produce from the West, and the 
present loss of the Chicago market for the distribu¬ 
tion of Merchandise. 
Money is in large demand, and the rates 7 to 8 per 
ccuL for regular trade and 7 to 14 per cent, on Stocks, 
while Bond and Mortgage negotiations are at a stand 
on account of tlie losses to the Fire Offices, many of 
which will have to call in their mortgages, after sell¬ 
ing out their U. S, Stocks. 
A run was made on the Third Avenue Savings 
Bank early in tlie week, on reports, said to be ma¬ 
licious, of weakness of condition, but at the hour of 
writing we learn that the demand trout depositors 
has almost entirely ceased. The Savings system in 
this City and Brooklyn is largely interested to City 
and County Bonds, about which there is less concern 
felt than before the accession of Mr. Andrew II. 
Green to the Comptroller's Office. Should that gen¬ 
tleman, by’any quirk of the law.be forced to give 
way to the Ring control of the City and County 
finances again, tlie consequences might be alarming. 
Southern State Bonds have suffered in the panic.
