CHICAGO. Oetobsr Is. : The dawn of
each succeeding day brings brighter pro
spscts for this smitten city, and the feel
ing Of hope aud faith which is swelling up
within the breasts Of the energetic men
| who have made Chicago what it was, Is
| strengthened and extended every hour.
1 Twenty-one OF the tweuty-four columns
| Of this mornings Tribune are filed with
advertisements OF business firms who
have already secured new locations ana
ara either now ready, or VIII be ~. q few
days, to do business; stocks of new goods
ara already on the way here; builders
are oFerWheimnsd with applications TO
put up new buildings for business pur-
| poses-one contractor having last night
sixteen contracts for substantial struc-
i lures 10 be erected at oncs.
The Tribune's commercial article says:
| ttThere Is still bat little doing in produce
| circles, but our commission merchants
/ and grain dealers are hard at work pre-
pairing TO open out again on full scale,
| lust as soon as the pecuniary arrange
ments will permit, which will be in day
Or two, probably oy the hrst OF mex
/ week. Many OF them are busy helping
distribute food and clothing to the desti-
tute. The remainder are hitting up Of
I fees"
In the vicinity of the temporary trade
rooms, at Nos. 81 and SO Canal street,
the board viii do business till the cham
Der OF commerce can be rebuilt.
some grain Is moving out. Four char
ters Of vessels were reported to-day, and
it is expected thst grain will be moved
out much more rapidly toward Monday,
~ the banks will bo able 70 make ad-
yances by that time.
So far none of the bank vaults have
been found at ali injured. The Union
| National, which was at first reported
blown up, is In perfect condition, so far
as the contents are concerned. The safes
of the Fidelity Safe D spOsit company L.
B. Bryan Il Co were found, when opened,
TO have no heat in them, and every dollar
Of the millions on deposit were safe. Mr..
Charles Wilson took out thirty thousand
dollars in fres9e clean greenbacks. The
company have established an office in the
| ruins, and invite all to bring their money
and other valusbles there and deposit
them free OF charge until they can get bet
ter accommodation.
The saving banks Of the city announce
that they wiz at once pay in full all de-
pOsitors whose deposits do not exceed
twenty dollars, and not less than twenty
dollsrs to every deposition whose balance
is more than that sum. This limit -
simply fixed upon the latter class of de-
| positOrs solely for the purpose of prevent
ing a run by those who do not stop TO con
slider the dsmOrsliZing effect of such an
event.
1t is ordered that all railway pOstofiice
clerks and route agents report each day
until further orders, at their respective
offices for duty. The distribution posi-
ofsices in New England, New York city,
Buffalo, Albany, Cleveland and Pittsburg
will separate BY States their Chicago
distribution. postOffics mails, and send to
Lake Shore railway pOstOttics. The New
| York Central, Erie, and PennsylVRnis
| railroad postodices, with their connect
ing lines, will separate by States their
Chicago distribution pOstOities mails, and
send TO Lake Shore railway postohiee for
distribution.
The agents of the lEtns insurance com
psny ars now adjusting and paying their
losses, which they say will not exceed
two and half 70 three millions ofdOllars.
A noticeable fact, and one of immense
| importance in the rebuilding of the city,
4 the alnSst psrfsct condition in which
the 6re has left the Hieolson pavement.
The damage Is so tTihing a. not TO De
worthy of mention, Miles of pavement
| on Lhs north side are almost unscOrched
and perfectly free of debris; and even IN
the south division, where both sides o.
the streets were lined with lofty brick
, | and stone buildings, there is scarcely q
point where q carriage may not be driven
through the streets; indeed, except where
| buildings were blown up or partially
blown up In endssvoring te stop the pro-
gress OF the flames. the ruins have al
most invariably fallen upon their own
sit0s. Al PoiHts where the psvemenis
were burned at all, the hr9 only chsrred
them CT the outside, and II is quostiC2
whether the pr0aess to which they were
subjected will not add 10 their durability.
Evidence is accumulating hourly th9t
the loss Of lie is greater than has been es-
| tiInated in these dispai 0hes, and the great
number OF persons still searching fGr the
missing members Of families cOnhrns the
statement. There arc many Of these
missing 0aes nuartered st the relief head
quarters a. the Congregational church on
, Washington street, where affecting Incl
, dents Sre constantly occurring. A Swed-
T ish mother found there, all safe and
; newly clothed, I've little children. Al
Grst she tainted dead away, then recover

with fervOr, such zs only belongs TO 2

snd will search la vain for their missing
loved ones.
