others, based On the amount OF money paid by
them to the government by showing the other

CUSTOM HOUSE AFFAIRS.

The Effect Of the Boston Firo on tho
Wool Market-Six Million Pounds or
This Staple In Bond-Immensc Advance
in tho Pricc OF Leather.
The great connagrat0n at Boston has had its
effect on the Custom House BY making the business
OF withdrawal from bond" somewhat livelier. The
wool market especially was made very active,
owing to the complete annihllation OF that staple
article by the fre. From carefully prepared stalls
tics on file in the Auditors division OF the Custom
House, 1t appears that the stock Of raw unmanu-
factured wool in bond and available for immediate
use is about six million pounds, including grades Of
all kinds The enhanced value OF this merchandise
since the past f0rtyeight hours H no less than from
ten to twenty per cent
The same may be said Of leather. Not only have
imported skins advanced largely In price, but do
nestle stock has gone up in proportion. Importers
of French calfskins and English leather are ship
ping largely to Boston and to those places hereto
fore supplied by that city.
The very great bulk Of goods in our bonded ware.
houses will have to be withdrawn now In order to
supply the burned district with new stock to con-
tinue business.
Otherwise everything is very quiet at the Gus

CONNECTICUT COMPANIES, FROM OFFICIAL RErol
MADE BY STATE INSURANCE. COMMISSIONER.
WHAT CONSTITUTES INSURANCE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The history Of the three great fires that have oc-
CURED in the United States during the past few
years-viz., Portland, Chicago and Boston-reveals
this fact for the serious consideration Of all who
seek true indemnity against loss by IRE, which is
that small companies of 100000 and $500 900 CAPT.
ta do not offer sufcient guarantee against loss that
any prudent business man or others connected with
him through commercial relations should accept.
Many, whose property was destroyed by these
great fires, are to-day hopelessly bankrupt through
the inability OF companies in which they placed
their insurance to meet their losses. The reason
OF this and the remedy, to my mind, seem clear.
We will take, for instance, Chicago. How many
companies OF small capital found themselves In
volved after that disaster ten times the amount OF
But, It may be said that such extensive COMA
gratlons are rare, and, ordinarily, the danger OF
this inability to meet losses does not occur. True,
but they do occur scarcely one year has passed
since Boston followed In the wake OF Chicago.
Agents naturally seek all the business they can

the ordinary rules Of underwriting by not carrying

the extent Of fires and no certainty
worth the % paper 1 they are written @ p on Companies
to give the public true insurance against loss to be
fully prepared to meet any exieency, should have
stockholders and OF the public would be served if
companies OF small capital would consolidate. The
expenses OF conducting company Of $5,000,00o
capital are no more than for one of $20000 While
this course would dispense with the services OF a
great many salaricd officials, IL woud be money In
the pockets OF stockholders and give the public
greater security and place underwriting on hrmer
basis.
In case an extensive connagratlon should come
upon this city, sweeping block after block before
IT, whose policies would afford the greatest feeling
OF security-those OF small companies or those
whose assets are counted by millions This Is o
subject which, believe should be seriously con-
sidered and discussed. INSURER.

PHILADELPIfIA, NOV. II, 1SI2
The investigation into the charges OF corruption
and bribery in the City Councils commenced to-day,
and SO far the testimony shows an amount Of ve-
nalty rivalling that exposed in New York last
year. The testimony OF q reliable witness, fully
ring designed to defrand the city; that q large
sum OF money was raised for the purpose or

the wood pavement on Broad street, that the
affair was conc0cted and carried on in the oice OF
one member OF the Councils, and that when
Germ threats were made to kill him. The testimony,
so far as taken, duplicates many outsiders. It Is
believed that those who are exposing the affair do
