New YORK, Nov. 12.-The newspapers
here take a more cheerful view as to the
results, financially and otherwise, of the
Boston fire. In the Shoe and Leather

no harmful results to the trade can follow,
as prices were at a very low point before
the fire. Several Boston men are already
here who have bought new stocks, and
will rebuild Immediately. In the Wool
trade it is stated that none of the New
York houses are disastrOusly affected.
The actual sufferers will be the citizens at
large, as all kinds of woolen goods will be
advanced in price, it is expected, from 80
to 40 per cent Several New York firms
are c0ngratulating themselves upon the
necessary DETECTION of the Wool trade
from Boston to New York. .....
Several New York detectives have gone
to Boston, to aid the authorities there in
arresting New York thieves.
The Bulletin says, of the wool market,
that dealers here have recently sold heavi-
ly to Boston merchants, but that the wool
is still mostly held here, or is i'll transit,
thus escaping destruction.
Only small amount of Boston paper,
on account of wool transactions, are held
here, and no fears are entertained other
than an extension of time will be neceSSa-
ry OH maturing bills. A partial suspense
of the wool trade is expected until the in
surance balances are perfected, when the
market will be more active than before the
fire.
In the dry goods business some papers
say there is much confusion and uncer-
tainty, owing to the nOn-reception of let
ters from Boston, but no great measure is
manifested.
In the hide and leather trade there is an
entire absence of any paniky feeling, and
the general impression is that the market
will simply remain steady.
In the boot and shee trade no crisis Is
anticipated, the statement being that all
Boston dealers are still in good standing,
and only an extension of time is necessa-
ry.
