brown out Of work by the fire, and in

the desperate condition of trade, which
must follow, the support of their fami-
lice will devolve upon the city.
Business men, however depressed,
are not despairing, the first deep feel =
ing OF sorrow and depression has given
wav to hope, and plans are, even now,
being laid for rebuilding, and it is
evident that no delay will be made in
commencing the work.
All the lists OF losses, 80 far received,
are very partial and incomplete, and it
will be impossible, for several DAYS, to
obtain accurate Information sufficient
to furnish q reliable list Of losses.
The loss Of wool by the fire is esti-
mated at $4,000 900. mainly domestic,
aud the amount of wooden goods de-
stroved will make a total Of about
40. 000 900 pounds. Many ofthe Boston
dealers had lately purchased a large
quantity Of wool in New York, most OF
which mad reached their warehouses
but short time before the fire. About
1900, 900 pounds Of foreign wool. which
was stored on the wharf, is all that has
escaped destruction.
The following is q list OF bank build
