New York Dry Goods Market.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 13.-Business continues quiet with
the commission houses and jobbe1s. The market is
very strong all cotton manufactures, but prices
unchanged, except for Wamsutta b1eached Ehirtngs,
Of cottons burnt comparatively Light, and it is
not thought that the loss Of these goods will exercise
any effect upon prices, beyond rendering them very
sufficient stocks to supply the comparatively light de-
and and any increase likely to arise at this season Of
the year. The market for woolens is higher on all
goods principally composed Of wool The advance
averages about 10 cent but trade Is quiet shawls
selling at old prices Foreign goods are very dull,
and there Is change in prices.

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
NEW YORK., Nov. 1S.-Several leaders Of the
Apollo Hall Democracy met to-day to consider
the ad7isabilty Of appointing Committee to
confer with prominent members Of Tamnany,
the purpose being to unite both organizations.
Nearly all the leaders OF Apollo Hall favor the
movement but there is one obstacle in the
way. They say that they will oppose
any consolidation of the Democracy of this city
unless Ger tain Objectionable men are expelled
from Tammany. The basis Of the proposed
nnion ia to be an equal number of delegates from
both organizations in one general committee.
The meeting adjourned without taking any de-
cisiye action, but another session is to be held
in q few days. One of the Tammany magnates to
whom objection has been made is John Reilly.
Henry Waltman will contest his opponent's
election as Coroner. It is said that Mr. Kessler
became citizen in 1868, and that, in 1865, he
returned to Europe and engaged in business in
Beri n, for which purpose he swore allegiance to
rights to citizenship in this country.
Senator Brownlow writes an enthusiastic letter
to the Times relating to what he terms Repub-
lican victory in Tennessee, and puts forward
Horace Maynard as entitled to succeed Speaker
Blaine.
The Herald says: ssThe scramble for Mr.
Boutwe1l's boots BY E. D. Morgan, and Henry
Clews, promises to be lively. Although Morgan is
backed by tho New York Times, Mr. C1eTs is
general opinion of the merchants and fnancler8
Of New York is that the boots are too big for
both Of these aspirants to Cabinet honors, the
probability is that, when Mr. Boutwell, takes
them of, neither Mr.. Clews nor Mr. Morgan will
be allowed to put them on"

RICHMOND, Nov 13.-Ofhcial returns from 101
counties, cities, and towns, give Greeley $50 ma

give Grant 2,088 majority. Only two counties

Republican for Governor in 1869, $50 net ma

The subject of Mansard roofs was referred to

The insurance men are becoming more cheer
ful, and believe that the losses by the Boston
fire will fall below the estimates Of Monday,
which, they say, were placed high enough to
cover all the risks in the burned district. Tho
salyages, it is thought, will be considerable.
The Daily Bulletin says the amount Of lannels
consumed at the Boston fire is certainly not less
than 5000 bales and is estimated By some at
10000 to L, 900 bales, and these goods have ad-
vanced SOLO per cent. The statement that from

diaheartened county might have resulted in If
reparable disaster, if order had not been main
tanned. A forcible appeal is made to the theoret-
ica1 Republicans not to spare even excessive
sacrifices for order in their own interests Events
have given them the Republic. The Republic ex-
lists as the legal government. ANY attempt at any
different form of Government would lead to
most terrible revolution.
The President deprecates the formal proclama-
ton Of the Republic by the Assembly. The bet
ter policy would be to impress on the lnstltu-
tions Of the country the features of Conserva-
tive Repubicanisn. The Republic must be con-
servatiTe, otherwise it cannot exist.
The absolute need Of France is repose: Tie
mass might live through 8 few days Of agitation;
after frightening others, it fears itself, and falls
into the arms OF an adventurer, travelling the
sad and humliating journey from anarchy to des,
potism, and despotism to anarchy. The slightest
fault is sufficient to wreck the Republic. France,
orderly and strong, inspires confidence in for
eign powers, who desire, above all, just equil-
ibrium. France if she chooses not to isolate
herself, may become surrounded by trusty and
useful friends. To the Assembly is
left the initiation Of constitutional
measures. The decisive moment has arrived for
the work. The President promises Difference
and cooperation, and concludes BY invoking
God to bless the work OF the Assembly, and rem
der complete and durable aconsummation which
has not been attained since the commencement
Of the century.
The meBsage was well received by the Left, to
whom it gives great satisfaction.
II. de Kerdrel, Conservative, moved tho ap-
pointment Of Committee to draw up reply.
It is thought the Presidents message will lead
to an early dissolution OF the Assembly.
