BosToN, Nov. 11.-An efficient n i'll
tary police guard is on duty. All fears
of re-kindling of flames are over. The
following Insurance companies doing
business in Boston are perfectly solvent
and able to meet all obligations in full:
Bangor and Eastern, of Bangor, Maine,
Williamsburg. Aetna, Hope and Market,
of New York. Trinn ph, of Cincinnati,
St. Paul, of St. Paul, Minnesota. The
publishing and printing Of newspapers
and all other necessary work is being
done tonight by lamp and candle light.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE great ca
lamity in Boston is the main topic of
conversation to-day in financial and
trade circles. Many conservative un-
derwriters place the loss at 75,000.-
600, and the insurance at $50, 900, 900,
OF which $15,OOO,O to $4,000, 900
are borne by British companies, in
which, since the Chicago fire, many
Anne ;ican companies have re-insured. A
knowled ye of the fact that the Govern
ment is ready to throw all its power
against the panic caused by this enor-
nous loss by fire, has had less effect
than any anticipated. Values of mer-
chandize have been advanced from to
20 per cent. Boston men are already
here making solicitations and accomo-
dations for tents to be erected on Bos-
ton Common, for the sale of goods.
BOSTON, Nov. 12.-The streets are now
perfectly quiet. Two hundred and fifty
mounted soldiers patrol the streets, and
no one not having official authority,
from the commandant is permitted to
pass the lines. One man who attempt
ed to enter a store on Winter street, re-
fused to leave after being ordered away
attempted to run, was shot by one of
the guards and severely wounded. Ar
rangements for keeping the fire under
are now perfect unless some change of
weather occurs to cause another outbreak
in unexpected quarters.
