O’GORMAN EXAMINED. Shortly after the adjournmont of the Oourt the examination of Mr. O’Gorman was taken at his pected To-Day—A High Public Of- cial Greatly Compromised. Yesterday was a very busy day at the pablic of- fices. There was a large amount of work and very little talk. The Board of Apportionment met in the morning under the presidency of the Mayor, and with the commendable innovation of an open sea- sion, in the presence of a band of newspaper re- Dorters. A report of this meeting will be found in{ another column, The Commis sioners of the Sinking Fund met at two o'clock, but at this meeting, as well as of that of the Board of Apportionment, no immediate practical result was arrived at, as Deputy Comp- troller Green desired a few days’ delay for the pur- pose of consulting legal authority upon the ques- tions raised. The Commissioners of THE SINKING FUND received an application from the Dock Vommisston- ers, asking that the Comptroller should be author- ized to issue bonds to the amount of $1,000,000, in aid of the operations of their works, Mr, Green asked that a decision be reserved in reference to this until the argument on the mandamus had been heard. The Commissioners acted on this suggestion, and an journmment took place until two o'clock on Monday, when it is expected that a decision will be arrived at. A meeting of BOARD OF ALDERMEN and Assistant Aldermen was heid yesterday. Both me were of very short duration. At the former Board a communication was received from the Mayor, Ered ‘Without bis approval, a reso- Tution of ‘this Board extenaing the route of the Broadway and Kast Side Stage Company, which was laid over. On motion of Alderman Wourman the Committee on Salaries and Offices were directed to make a re- port on commissioncers of deeds at the next mcet- of the Board, , AT THE COMPTROLLER’S OFFICE ight excitement was caused by the fixing of a pair of iron doors at the entrance to the bond and fice.

Tne Deputy Comptroller was besi by several newspaper men with a clamorous uesire to know the names of thoso gentlemen who had been informed on Saturday that their services would be no longer re- quires. To this somewhat unreasonable demand the Deputy Comptroller refused to comply. All that he Would state Was that TWELVE GENTLEMEN whose names had appeared ow the payroll had been dispensed with, and that a large number of market sinecurists would share the same fate in the course of a day or two, Busy as yescer- day was, it is not unlikely that today and to-morrow will ve more fruitful in startling developments than the remarkable diurnal history of these city frauds has yet (ahaa There were More than rumors that forgeries of a very startling character of the name of A VERY HIGH CITY OFFICIAL to certain vouchers have unquestionably been dis- covered.

BOARD OF APPORTIONMENT. The Board of Apportionment met yesterday after- Doon. at ihe Mayor’s omce, Mayor Hall presiding. After @ communfcation was read from Deputy Comptroller Green relative to the Fire Department, Fire Commissioner Hennessey explained the need there was for compliance with the Fire Commis sloners' application. It was asked that bonds be issued for the sum of hype bee wo cov oeees expenses for the bajance of the year. “Tnuse bonds coulu today be marketed by tne Commis- They were needed for the erection and 4 the purchase of sites, &c. frepaired and some of them If the Marion strect. tower were not uy looked to tt would most certainly fail tis winter, neces#arily with the loss of many lives.

HEAVY DEOLINE IN STOCKS. The ever sensitive medium of the stock market was prompt im reflecting the apprehensions ex- cited by the Ohicago calamity, particularly as the fMnanctal and commercial interests of both ities are so closely interwoven. We Give elsewhere a more elaborate exposition and explanation of these interests, and invite at- tention to those columns of our paper which discuss the subject. The peculiar features of the fire in threatening the insurance interests more particu- larly, and by involying serious detriment to the business of the vast network of railways centring ‘at Chicago, have been the chief secret of the alarm Produced among holders of the shares dealt in so extensively on the Now York Stock Exchange. In this orisis there has been, as Usual in such times, an unreasoning lack of discrim- ination astothe injury inflicted on property not Girectly involved in the disaster, for everything has been depressed by the exigencies arising out of the inability to resist tne unmerited depreciation which sever likely under the system of nolding and car- tying stocks om margins. Unfortunately the market was not in a mood to receive with equanimity the intelligence of so terrible @ disaster. The previous week nad closed with @ very unfavorable statement from the banks, and hence the temper of the street at the beginning of business this morning was not even ordinarily confident or steady. When, therefore, the telegrams began to pour in, each succeeding One swelling the reports of destruction to property, the uneasiness among the holders of Western rail- Way shares manifested itself in a suddenly unant- mous desire to sell. ‘he apprehension spread to other stocks, and the board room was soon 8 mass of excited men clamorous to part with their stocks, At such a time the heated imagination conjured up the worst fate for the interests involved, and as the salient feature waa Lake Shore and Michigan Souther## Railway, a line 80 obvieusiy dependent for a large portion of its tramic om the prosperous existence of Chicago, its great Western terminus, a panic seized its shares, and, despite the prospective value of them as an investment, they were borne down by the Weight o1 sales and fell from 106 to 96%;—or 10 per cent. This result was not reached without numer- ous intermediate fluctuations, The sympathy of the market was so completely enlisted in the progress of the conflagration that when at times hopeful despatches were received prices easayed a reaction, and for a spell the market threatened to go up as rapidly as it had declined. But when at length the aggravation of STRINGENOY IN THE MONEY MARKET ‘Was added to the already accumalated causes of de- Pression the whole list seemed to give up the effort at remstance, and the period of settling bank accounts witnessed a half panic, At first this latter contingency was but carelessly considered. There had been, it is true, a fair inquiry early in the Gay for money at seven per cent, but hardly enough to be called active. When, later in the day, the extent of the disaster had been more fully known and the grave situation of the stock market had excited apprehensions as to the safety of loans on stock collaterals, the money lenders drew their purse-strings, to epeak figuratively, and borrowers ‘began a most industrious walking exercise in pursuit of money to make good their account at bank. Money suddenly became worth the legal rate in gold, anu an Market was established on the sidewalk for + Eventually ti hour of fhrge ofclock arrived and ne aEEG iastenee Borrow- era were compelled to take the money on the best terms available to them, and im their efforts to in duce lenders to accommodate them extravagant commissions were offered as a bonus for the use of the wherewithal to save them from the dishonor of @n unfulfilled bank account. Dealings were pro- longed in this way until an hour after the usual time for closing the banks, the latest borrowers having had to pay as high as % anu 3 per cent for their money. THE EXTREME FLUCTUATIONS, ‘The extent of the decline at the lowest stage of the day will be seen in the following table of the ex- treme fluctuations.
