Panics in money arise from a too great preponder- Bnce of fixed capital as compared with fioating capital or money; so that, with the first effects of fear and excitement gone by, the present disaster pught to have really the effect of enlarging the Yolume of money, as compared with fixed capital.’ Already has our theory received strong con- frmation in the course of the New York mer- chandise markets to-day. Th e dry goods, the boot nd shoe and other important branches of trade have received ‘ A SUDDEN IMPETUS from the operation of the law to which we have re- ferred, Indeed the activity thus displayed has valled forth a special notice in the market report of ‘sp evening paper as follows :— ‘The effect of the Boston fire on the merchandise arkets has been to enhance values here from ven to twenty per cent. The fire there has wiped out the stocks of all the leading houses in dry goods, @lothing, wool, hats and caps, boots and shoes, ther, coach and carriago furnishing, hardware, and stecl, paints and drugs and wholesale juoré, and a careful estimate makes the value of is Mert be about fifty million dollars. dry goods, leather, wool, coach furnish- ig and crockery dealers burned out were ong the heaviest in the country, while the cloth- ing trade of Boston has always been ranked a8 irger than the combined serreasien of any other WO cities, These people held eres stocks, as je had been backward in Boston for the past jonth from the same causes which have from time time influenced the New York markets, This lense destruction of merchandise, that is just fow the most marketable, brings the overstocks and siow lots in other cities into Immediate promi- mence. Already Boston men are here makin, felections and accommodations for tents an oths, which will be erected on the Common for le progressive Yankees to barter and trade, IN WALL STREET fe chief events of the day have been the large fall im stocks and subsequent rally and advance in prices, the failure of some nine or ten brokers, the @ecline in gold, the steadiness of government bonds nd a spasm in money toward the close. As may be fancied the bankers and brokers and their vast following of speculators were in attendance long before the doors of the Stock Exchange were opened for business, making a gathering in Broad and Wall streets not often seen at 80 early an hour of the day. The market opened with A PRESSURE TO SELL almost everything on the list. In addition to the orders given in person and by messenger and those fwaiting execution by previously fixed limit the tele- graph was loaded with orders from out of town, and Bome of tho larger houses were so burdened with business that they were compelled to distribute their orders to dozens of the smaller commission brokers. Whon all this haste and scurry is regarded from a later standpoint the mind ts filled with wonder at the disproportionate result upon the market, which, while intensely excited and de- gidedly lower, was hardly 60 depressed as to de- werve the description of having been IN PANIC. The reaction, recovery and advance in prices Biso form a remarkable afterplece to the early Grama of depression and decline, the sudden re- versal of the market being @ further illustration of our remarks quoted above as to the real financial effect of such occurrences as the Chicago and the Boston fires, The scenes that attended these vio- Jent fluctuations in the Stock Exchange, and the tement and doings of the day in general, are rtrayed more fully in @ special report in another column, to which the reader's attention is directed.

MONEY 7 PER CENT A X% PER CENT, The money market was casy and steady through- ‘pat the early part of the dav and up to as late as NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET. ‘Wwe crciock, Curing Which time the dealings and renewals had been at 7 percent. By thie hour it became evident that the government intcnded doing nothing for the day in the way o! advancing money for the purchase of bonds, and as it soon after became time for the usual making up of ac- counts, which, from the shifting of loans incidental to the FLUCTUATIONS IN THE MARKET Prices of the leading speculative stocks, were uni- versally unsettled, there was @ sudden and general ronning for money aad an eventual advance in the rate om call to as high as % per cent, in addition to 7 per cent for the use of balances over night. This rate was maintained up to three o'clock, but dealings were protracted on the sidewalk until as late as half-past three o’elock, the last rate having been 1-16 per cent. This closing activity gave riso to a rumor that the government would interfere to help the money market, as this was THE SIONAL Assistant Secretary Richardson had been await- ing all day during his sojourn at the Sub-Treasury— in which institation he had been the guest of Gen- eral Hillhouse—and had received the visita and suggestions of the numerous merchants and bankers who had called to urge Treasury measures in prevention of a panic, The rumor went on to say that the government would sell gold and buy bonds at the same time, permitting payment for the former to be made with certificates of de- posit, as was done a few weeks ago, It was also said that Mr, Boutwell had telegraphed to this city withdrawing orders for the CONTRACTION OP THE GREENBACKS, issued last month and reported in the debt state. ment, the retirement of which explains the loss of greenba:ks in last Saturday’s bank statement. As might be expected nothing was doing in commer- cial paper, which was quoted as before—viz., 9 812 per cent discount, There is little or no apprehen- sion excited as to ill effects among our merchants from the Boston fire, the losses by which, outside the insurance companies, are mostly local. Foreign exchange was dull and no firmer, the Bank of England rate not having been raised, as ‘was feared, while the Boston fire has probably brought the English insurance companies our debtors to the extent of about twenty millions of dollars, THE FOREIGN MARKET seems to have its grievances as well as our own, for consols have fallen off, despite the non-advance- ment of the bank ratein London. Our five-twenties declined one per cent and Eries several per cent. ‘The trouble abroad is the apprehension of.an im- mense drain of gold to the German capital in settle- ment immediately of the French indemnity and remotely for recoinage into the new coin of the Ger- man Empire. Meantime the gold which we were to ship to help England in her difficulty will now Temain with us because of the losses of English insurance companies at Boston, GOVERNMENT BONDS LOWER AND STEADY. The government bond market was a little lower for the gold bonds and considerably so for the currency issues, but was steady and remarkably quiet at the decline, which seems to have been in- spired by a fear that the insurance companies wil have to sell bonds in liquidation of their losses, The following were the closing quotations :—United States currency sixes, 113 a 113%; do, do., 1881, registered, 114% 11444; do. do., coupon, 116 a 11644; do. five-twenties, registered, May and No- vember, 111% a 112%; do, do., 1862, coupon, do., T11X @ 112; do. do., 1864, do. do., 111% @ 112%; do. do., 1865, do, do., 112 a 11234; do. do., 1867, registered, January and July, 11434 a 115; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 114% @ 11434; do. do, 1867, do. do,, 114% @ 115; do. do., 1868, do. do., 114% a 114%; do. ten-forties, registered, 107% a 107%; do. do., coupon, 107g a 108; do. fives of 1881, registered, 10824 @ 1093¢; do. do., coupon, 108% a 10934. SOUTHERN SECURITIES IRREGULAR.

The course of the market is shown in the table:— 12M.. 12:41 In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 4 per cent per annum to 1-16 per diem tor carrying. Th operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows :— Gold cleared Gold balances. , 66:2, 54: Currency balances. . 8,268,193 There was no discussion during the day of specie shipments this week, and the whole matter is again in abeyance, STOCK RESULTS IN FIGURES, The greatest decline in the stock list was in Pacific Mail, which declined to 81, as against 9034 on Saturday night; rallied to 8544 and closed at 84, The next greatest Nuctuation was in Rock Island, which went off to 101, but rallied to and closed at 107, The closing prices show in almost all cases an advance as compared with the opening prices of the day, evidencing a remarkable reaction, par- ticularly in a time of semi-panic. The ‘bulls’ say that the market needed this crisis to dissipate its dulness, and predict that we are to have aram- pant market the rest of the Winter and all Spring, like the speculation that followed the Chicago panic last year, the decline to-day having touched “IEARD-PAN,’? at the same time that it invited and occasioned an enormous short interest, which will be a sure basis fora “pull”? movement, On the other hand, the “bears” predict a panic and “smash” in England, if not in other European countries, and acom- mercial and financial crisis in this country as soon asthe full extent of the Boston calamity is felt by the community. Here is adiversity of sentiment enough to make active times in Wall street the rest of the year. Faites votre jeu, messieurs; faites votre jeu!

Monpay, Oct. 11—6 P. M, The trade movement was retarded to-day by the great conflagration in Boston, which devastated almost the entire business portion of the city, Though the commercial ties between Boston and this city were scarcely 80 close as those between Chicago and New York, yet the commercial cen- tres of the country have come to be 60 closely cemented by mercantile and monetary in- terests that no great disaster of this character can befal one without materially af- fecting all. Hence business here was very greatly affected to-day by the great fire in our neighbor- ing city, and commercial values were in many instances congiderably lower, owing, however, more to an apprehension of a general interruption to busi- ness enterprises and a general depression of mer- chandise as a natural consequence of the fire than to any visible immediate effect. A good deal of uneasiness obtained in both financial and com- mercial circles and great anxiety was everywhere manifested to ascertain the worst. Business was of only secondary importance and but little was done, Cotton was easier with but a moderate movement. At the Produce Exchange flour con- tinued dull; wheat and corn were decidedly dull and lower, though there was some inquiry for ex- port—generally on the basis of too great a reduction in prices to admit of business, The provisions market was dull, and both pork and lard were lower and dificult of sale, Freights were without decided change, full prices being quite generally insisted on. Groceries were but moderately dealt in, yet as a whole prices were pretty well sustained, Petroleum continued quiet, but no weakness was manife: quiet, but no essential ch key was purchased mode: Naval stores were unusually ge took place in values, Wiis ely at higher. prices, rrke.—The general market continued quict for all de- neriptions, vet we heard of no material change ff prices.
