New YorE, Nov. 16,—The general markets to- day closed quist, and somewhat depressed. The Boston fire proves less destractive than ab first reported. Ono of the first results of the Boston diszster will be the immigration of mechanics trom New York to rebuild the burnt district. Orders for néw iron fronts have already been received here from Boston, The estimates of wool destroyed still range all the way from five million to eighteen million pounds. Speculators here have bought up about twomillion pounds this week, but the manufac- turers have been inactive. Fleeces have ad- vanced 10@12 per cent nominally, but fabrics areup only frem 3@8. Prints have not been affected. Chemicals show a tendency to lower rates, though dye stufls are very firm. British goods are generally a trifie firmer. Carpets are dull, the season being over. The boot and shoe trade has not been materially affected by the Boston fire, and, as yet, thers has been no general marking up of prices. The business during the week with distant sections has beon chiefly on orders. The city trade have puachased moderately, In the auc- tion rooms buyers have shown a little more dis- position to purchase, under a growing impres- sion that prices will advance. The metal and bardware trade has been generally quiet. The crockery trade had a quiet week. The grocery trade was also quiet. This interest did not suffer in Boston, and the fire had no effect on groceries in this city. Among the tea deal- ers, the failure of Messrs. Hill & Co. has added to the insecurs feeling in prices, a8 they are cur- rently regm’tefl to be holders to the amount of 800,000 ibs. The morked decline of 10c per pound on black tea since the 15th of October seems to be likely to be fur- ther incrensed by the assignee’s sale of Hill & Co.'s hoardings. Boston is_heavily load- ed with black teas of all kinds, and the market there is flat. - During the past week the money market at London has become firmer, and the week closes with 7 per cent as the rato in open market there, as agoinst 8 per cent lsst Saturdey. The for- eign exchanges have been firm for short sights during the week, which resulted in the ontflow of $2,600,000 good coin, but at the close the market was lower, both for long sterling and sight bills. Gold has fluctuated freely during tho week be- tween 1142¢ and 11325, Cash gold was dearer toward the close. On the Stock Exchange speculation opened at 2 decline of 1 to 934 dper cent on the Boston fire but soon after rallied from 1 to 83 per cent, snd Iater again reacted from to 4 per cent, finally closing with firmer fooling and s upmard ten- ency. The bank statement was not g0 bad as gener- ally expected, although made on declining aver- ages, and this had the effect to strengthen the market at the close. Business on the Stock Ex- change was active only early in the week, the closing days being noted chiefly for dullness. The bank statement presents an extraordinery feature in the gold item. The legal tenders are down 1,529,400, snd _ the average is s falling one, so that the banks hold less than they appear to. The specie, not- withstanding the shipment of over $2,500,000 Eio!d coin during the weok, is apparently $166,000 igher than last week, and this spparent gain cannotbe accounted for, even admitting that the average is a falling one, which is the fact. ‘The foreign commerce of the port for the week was as follows: General merchandise, imports, . $5,717,907; produce, and specie esports, MONEY was less active to-day. In the morning call logns ranged from 7 per cent to 1-32, butin the afternoon declined to 3@4 per cent at the close. Discounts are close, and 12 per cent is the mini- mum rate for mercantile paper. GOLD was quiet and firm, Foreign exchange heavy. STOCKS. The stock market was dull to-day, but ad- vanced 14 to 23 per cent. GOVERNMENT BONDS closed firm at the highest prices of the week. The new issue of six millions of 7per cent bonds by the Lake Shore Railroad are to be debentures, and will be redeemed at the rate of 2600,000 s year until retired. The Company issued and sold s similar bond in 1869, to make good a deficit in the Treasury occa~ sioned by the bankruptcy of the company's bankers, the price obtained being 85. Tha pro- ceeds of the present issue will be devoted to en~ larging the road equipment, hastening the laying of the doubletrack of steel raily, and pro- curing additional real estate at Buffalo, Cleve- land , Toledo and Chicago for elevators and depot room. PRODUCE. Flour opeaed firm. but guiet, owing to lnrgn arrivals. Good shipping is in fair demand; other grades dull ; medium oxtras quite plenty; No. 2 plenty and heavy. At the close the mar- ket was_irregular; ~good shipping brands frm and | fairly | active; low and me- dium spring and winter wheat extras easier. Holders of wheat at the opening were firmer but buyers held off, as freight-room is scarce. The market closes quiet but firmer, the demand being chiefly for spring. Winter in moderate request and firm. Choice white winter is held with much confidence. Pork was quief in7a wholesale way, and only o moderate jobbing inquiry. Cutmeats generally dull on the spot. Safes of about 1,000 smoked hams at 1434c. @15¢c. Bacon was in moderate demand, and long clear quoted at 8%de for November. Sales 500 boxes short clear for January, at_734c; 50 bo;e: short rib on spof,@at 8}4c. Lard very quiet. RELIGIOUS. Sanday School Convention — Young Men’s Christian Association—Nethe odist Appropriation. DuBuque, Tows, Nov. 16.—The session of the Sunday School Convention, atthe Firat Pres- byterian Church, on Fridey, was of an interest- ing_character.

Interesting Figures from the Pension Report, Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, PENSION REPORT. ‘WasamyoToN, Nov. 16.—The annusl report of the Commissioner of Pensions, for the present year, will be unusually interesting, on account of the thorough manner in which the statistics of our pension system will be prosented. The main portions of tho report have been finished, and the whole will bo embraced inthe ye- port of the Secretary of the Interior to Congress. During the fiscal year ended June 30, the increase of the pension rolls has been greater than for any year since that ending June 80, 1867. By the allowanco of new claims there have been added to tho rolls," 6,317 army invalid pensioners ; 7,120 army widows and dependent relative pensioners, 151 navy invalid pensioners, 124 navy widows and dependent relative pensioners, 17,021 sur- vivors of the war of 1812, and 3,105 widows of soldiers of that war, making a gross addition to the rolls of 33,838 new pensioners in the last fiscal year. The losses to the rolis by death, re- enlistment, recovery from dissbility of invalid pensioners, of failure to claim payment of pen- Bion for threo years, are 2,281; by death or marrioge of widows and dependent rela- tives, expiration of minors’ pensions or failure to claim payment of peunsion for three years, 6,097 ; by death of the survivors of the war of 1812, 604; by death of the widows of soldiers of said war, 123; a total loss of 9,104. The gross additions to the rolls 33,838, less the total loss 9,104, gives a net gain of 24,734 pen- sioners for the year, which, added to the rolls of 1871, make the total number of pensioners of all classes, June 80, 1872, 232,229, In addition, there have been increased the pensions of 5,116 army invalids, 68 navy invalids, 290 army wid- ows and minors, and 6 navy widows, s total of 5430, involving & total incresse to annual amount of the pension roll of §211,587.85 per annum. This increases the total annual amount of pensions in the sum of §2,675,583.71, making tho total amount of all pensions upon the rolls June 30, 1872, 825,480, 578. The amounts sppropristed for the pay- ment of pensions during the last fiscal year were for army penions, 328,550,000 ; for survivors of the war of 1812, $4,500,000; for navy pensions, $500,000. The unexpended balancesin the hands of pension agents were: Army. £984,582.36; navy, $25,669.57, which amounts have been re- covered into the Treasury. The appropriations for the presont fiscal year are: 830,000, 000; navy, £480,000, under the actsof June 17 and 30, 1870. At the close of tho last fiscal year there had been issued 7,770 commutation orders in lieu of artificial limbs furnished in kind. There were issued also 450 commutation orders, amounting to $27,150, and 326 bills havo been approved for limbs furnished in_kind, amounting to $23,025. The total number of claims allowed thus far is 9,802. The last remeining four of the widows of revolutionary soldiers are _slowly, but surely, decreasing. The number of widows of the war of 1812 on June 30, 1868, was 888; June 30, 1869, 887 ; June 80, 1870, 727 : June 30, 1871, 634; June 30, 1872, 573. Efforts have been made to collect information relativo to the supposed survivors, that & regis- tor of their names, residences, condition, ages, and dates of death might be prepared, and con- tinned until the lost shall have passed away. Circulars have been sent to the Post- masters at their places of residence, and to other arties from whom information could be obtained. Of these circu- lars, 554 have been returned, 23 without satisfac- tory reports, and 531 with the fall information sought. Of theso, 381 were reported 88 living and 150 a8 having died since Jan. 1, 1870 CRDMINAL STATISTICS. Attorney General Williams is sending circulars to the Governors of States, requesting ' them to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to that De- partment, the statistics of crime, under the laws of their States, for ~the present year, for his ‘forthcoming report to Congress. He also addresses the TUnited States District Attooneys with = like purpose, of requesting them to furnish Teports of the business in the several Courts in the United States, setting forth the condition of all cases embraced under the heads of customs, internal revenue, Post Office, quo warranto, and miscellaneons, the number of such disposed of, and how disposed of. INTERNAL REVENUE MATTERS, Supervisor Dutcher i in the city, on business connected with the reduction of ‘the collection districts in New York. The Commigsioner of Internal Revenue, however, states that nothing in that direction will be done until after the resssembling of Congress. _The exist- ing law requires_ the reduction _of the number of Internal Revenus Col- lectors and Assesssos to 160, on or before the 1st of January next. But prominent revenue officials are of the opinion that Congress ma, at its approaching session, eee fit to abolish tho office of Assessor, and all internal taxes, except those on spirits, tobacco, and malt liquora. PERSONAL. . Senator Cameron and Congressman O'Neil, it seems, did not return to Philadelphia with the delogation of _thirty who came here tofix up the Philadelphia Post Office, and that, not satisfied Yith their rebuff by the President, yesterdsy, they made another sttompt to dissusde him from following his Civil Bervice idess by appointing a subordinate of the office in- Sload of one of the Cameron ring.” Tt sp- ‘pears they did not succeed any better to-day, for they found the President in still worse humor than he was yesterday. It is thought that the office will be filled at once. Postmaster General Creswell has returned from his home in Maryland, where, for the past week or 80, he has been e;?tged in preparin, his annual report, Some addittional statistical’ information will be added, and the report willbe ready for the printer. It will contain more tables of figures, and show more labor in its pre- paration than any previous report. Spectal Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, THE NEW YOBK PREES ON TOE PHILADELPHIA POST OFFICE. New Yorg, Nov. 16.—The journsals of all par- ties here Leartily approve the President's action regarding the Philadelpbia Postmastership. It is 8aid that when the office of Surveyor of the Port, about to be vacated by Mr. Cornel, is filled by a_new appointment, the President will be guided by the Civil Service regulations., The dismay of managing politicians in New York over this unexpected blow from the White House is widespread and ludicrous. Tom Mur-~ ph{;a friends claim, however, that he will not ‘meake Cameron’s mistake of attempting to carry his points by storm, and that his personal rcla- tions with the Preeident are assured.

The investigation as to the canse of the burn- ing of the steamship Missouri was continued to- dsy. From the evidence produced, it is clear that the origin of the fire was due to the spilling of agusdiente on the deck of the vessel, the seid deck being at the time so badly constructed, or rather had not been canlked recently, thut the aguadiente ran through the crevices on to a hot boiler beneath, igniting in an instant the whole of the vessel where any of this inflammable arti- cle had touched. DISGUSTED POLITICIANS. NEw YorE,Nov.16,—A Weshingtonspecialsays the city is filling up_with politicians, who com- ment severely upon the course of the President in relation” to the Civil Service rules, a8 manifested in his remarks to the Pennsylvania delagation, _about the ag‘pomtmant of the Postmaster for Philadelphia. They allege that a strict enforcement of the rule will exclude many men from holding office who have just claims npon the Republicans, and who can creditably fill the offices for which they apply, but neverthelgss cannot pass the Civil Service examination. CABINET CHANGES. . 8r. Lous, Nov. 16.—The Demacrat this :norn- m.ishtes, editorially and udviaedlg, that there will be but two chenges in President Graut's Cabinet after the 4th of March next.

The Press Opposed to Receiving any IRelicf from Outside—The Fire to Be Xnvestigated — The Chief Engineer Severely Commented On—Insurances and Salvage. Bostox, Nov. 16.—Public sentiment in Boston is averso to accepting offers of money from other citiesat this time. The Globe, yesterday morning, cxpressed itself sa_opposed to the ac- tion of the Relief Committee in voting to_accopt aid. The Advertiser is mildly opposed to tho resolution of scceptance, and the Transcript publishes its non-concurxence. This morning the Globe, in an elaborate lead- er, comes out Hlat-footed upon the men who, it says, would make Boston a bslg!gn.r from the whole Union, and publishes several lotters from citizens in support of its comments. The Globe says that the Committee, in assuming to spenk for the citizens of Boston, have published to the world their resolve thaf offers of pecuniary aid from all parts of the Union will be gratefully accepted, which is nothing more than & direct advertisement that _the -eat, proud and wealthy capital of Now England is in poverty and distross, and a subject of general charity. Boston,-at this day, and notwithstand- ing the fire, is receiving &nincome of over 700,000,000, and to say that & community thus circumstanced cannot succor its own poor and needy, without receiving charity from abroad, is absolutely absurd. * Where is the honest ;ri_de, the fair fame, the integrity of our good old city, whon she is made to stand like a beggar, with ockets filled with money and securities, ¢ap in Band. and soliolting chariey from nny‘})mnur-by?" It says : ** Mayor gnston Thas proved himself un- [ to the sitnation, and these self-constituted solicitors for charity for Boston hove grossly misrepresented the gentiment of the city.' There ia a goneral facling that Chief Damrell, of the Fire Department, permitted the firo to spread through carelessness, and an official in- vestigation of the rise and spread of the confla~ gration is to be instituted, and the &mapecte are that the excitement about the fire has only be- 0. guThe Relief Committee is to be called upon to rescind its action publicly. " Harvard College suffered by the fire to the extent of 3562,0& including "the valme of the 1and, and it will cost $500,000 to rebuild. To- ward this it has $100,000 good insurance, ont of $216,000, for which it was insured. The perma- nent loss is thus reduced to 3200,000. “ This,” says President Eliot, * we must beg.” The fire was rather severe on iheflynblilhers, but the Transcript, the American Home Maga- zine, the Waverly, and all the week- lies and monthlies have secured new quarters, and, though temporarily incommoded, new typé and new presses and hard work will enable them to soon run smoothly. Considerable salvages of wool and leather are being discovered smong the ruins, the value amounting to geveral thousand dollars. New Yorg, Nov. 16.—The latest and lowest es- timate of insurance losses by the Boston fire gives the total amount as $48,572,300, distrib- uted as follows: Massachusetts companies, £29,710,000; Connecticnt, 92,952,800; New York, £6,850,000; Maine, $400,000; Rhode Isl- and,” $800,000; 'California, $15,000; Illinois, §30,000; AMissouri, $25,000; Minnesota, 810, 000} New Jersey, 17,500 Ohio, 5205,000; Pennsylvania, $2,776.500; Wisconain, $50,000; foreigh companies, 84,510,000, The wool denlers, it is said, are fully covered by insurance. A large number of bales are bein; recovered from the ruins, their outsides burnes black, but the insides are good. Tt is belioved that the direct and indirect losses will not exceed 240,000,000 after the insurance liguidated. ¥ e “Bostox, Nov. 16.—A perpetual injunction has been issued againat the National Fire Insurance Company of this city, and 8. F. Humphrey, Hiram Kuggles, and N. H. Dillingham have been appointed receivers. 5 Bonmw Me., Nov. 16,—At a meeting of citizens, to-day, ésolutions of xym;nthy were adopted and a committeo appointed to obtain contributions for the sufférers by the fire in Boston. Bostow, Nov. 16.—The remains of two bodies taken from the ruins of the fire on Wednes- day are in charge of an undertaker, and there ig noway of identifying them except by patches of clothing. The remains of the mother of Miss Martha Hutchinson has been found among the ruins of Megsrs. Shreve, Crump & Howe's store. Mies Hutchinson eaved horself by jumping from l‘zhgi window.

Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune. New Yorg, Nov. 16.—The news from Albsny indicates that Roscos Conkling will be re-elected to the United States Senate without serious op- position, As far ss canvassed, nearly all the Republican members are for him, while Morgan i8 not believed to have strength in any quarter. Thurlow Weed and Dix are supposed to lead one Republican wing, while Conkling and the Cus- tom House command the other. The question of supremacy between these followings must be settled before the general line of operations can be determined. The Democrats feel rather mournful over the ‘heavy spoils captured by the Republicans in this State. Governor Dix will appoint s new Adj; tant General and fourteen officers on his mili- tary statf. He will alao select & Loan Commis~ s1oner and notaries for each county, and fill va- cancies in the charitable iustitutions, also Bu- perintendents of Insurance and Banking, Canal Appraigers, and Boards of Equalization, also ']Iia;bor ‘Masters, Port Wardens, and one Supreme udge.

His movements have - excited spprehensions in the miods of Oglesby and his friends, and considerable _caucussing bag Deen going om hero lest night aad to-day between them, Oglesby having been summoned here for conference. It is certain that Oglesby doubts the sincerity of the Admin-~ istrationists, and is, therefore, Srepared to be- lieve, that if Waehburne is a candidate, he has become 86 with a perfect understanding that in the contest he is to have the influence of the President end his followers. One of Wash- burne’s oldest friends assured your correspon- dent to-day that Washburne would make the fight, and, unless Oglesby managed bis fight better than two years 2go, he would have the satisfaction of eerving out his time as Governor.
