On the 10Th inst, Potter Palmeg teksd
graphed to 4, Y. Stewart & Co., OF New
York, as follows: "NIessrs. Allen Z,
Mackey, aud all other firms with whom
lam interested, either as special or gen.
eral partner, will pay in iull at maturity.
Please inform the trade. "
A Chinsman' 3 account of the Chicago
calamity is as follows: "Melican-Ilish
boy take kelosine lamp and milk COW;
COW kick over lamp; up go Chicago"
A correspondent asks, "What has be-
come of the pawnbIoEers ?" He wants
to know IL they have packed up their
pledges and left the city, and, it they
have not, desires them TO ''hapg out
their shingles, " that persons having aIti-
cles may redeem them.
PRODUCE MARKETs.-A great improve.
ment was apparent in grain circles yes
terday. Since the fire the produce mar
kets have been very weak, owing 10
universal desire to realize on property
held here, for the double reason that
money was scarce, and insurance coHsids
cred to be doubtful. Hence prices of
grain fell with "looseuess. Yesterday
it seemed as il all the weak holders had
sold out, and prices rallied. There ia
now reason to hope that our produce
markets, which are so intimately identi:
fed with the commercial prosperity ottbe
city, will be more healthy during tie
coming winter than usual. Grain is be-
ing sent Eastward at the rate OF 10000
bushels per day, and tho shipments are
so far in excess of the receipts that tho
present rate of decrease would empty
our elevators in about three weeks.
leaving them free 10 receive the liberal
quaint ties that will be sent in during thc
winter. Ii our present stocks OF grain
could be converted into cash, il would
add largely to the ability of the CITY 10
rebuild, though it is true ,that consid-
eIable portion OF that grain is owned by
parties not resident ia hicago-Iia5use
E1pLoYNEST.- There is employment
here Tor ali who choose TO work. Tho
demand for laborers and mechanics is
largely in excess of the supply, and suit
able and satisfactory wages are paidl
LaboreTs receive 90 II day, and mechan-
les from SO so to SO 90, according to
their skill, and the trade they profess.
Bfiak-laYeIs can get 81 day, and can
liud employment until winter compels all
outdoor OCCUPATIONS to stop. 'a'3
WATER.-The large pumping works
at tho Wa, erworis are finished at last,
and an abundance of pure lake water is
new 1cwing iroa every hydrant in the
city. Since the flames nave subsided
over three huudred machinists hsYe been
employed night and day in the careltil
repair and inspection otthe great engine,
which was NOS so much injured that il
could not be TeadiIyrepaired. 1t was an
enormous undertaking, and ia mech
anical achievement OF which Chicago
can well be proud. Chicago b1eatbes
freely again.
