Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says; The two heavy fires, with aggregate losses estitfiated at $15,000,000 or more, may have an influence upon ievefai branches of trade which cannot yet be estimated. Prior to tbe Boston fire the boot and shoe tirade there had been quite pnfalized by the fire at Lynn, ami nh to tho leather trade a little ud vanee York it was anticipated, while in New was by many expected that the temporary withdrawal of the demand would cause some fall in leather. The Boston fire of Thursday destroyed heavy stocks of goods, and will doubt'ess af feet cities tho demands Rebuilding in both will create a sudden demand for materials and labor. Heavy concurrent tosses may shake some insurance compa nies, and affect the finances of riim burned out. But general prosperity and large accumulation of available -capital will probably rendfcr the influence of these disasters comparatively narrow and brief. lu other respects the situation is quite as encouraging as it has been for some weeks past; the volume of business is unsurpassed aud pressure in money inmkels, though not ended at New York, has seemed to benbating elsewhere Reports from other sections are without exception, favorable ou the whole. Western cities, without exception, find trade good. Money is fairly active, but nowhere stringeut, at the western points reporting, and the accounts regarding collections arc better than usual. Cotton is unchanged, though receipts the p st exports by 49,100 bales, U and sales l ave been ? T8 (W.,. no, n.ovocl, though 290,000 bags have boon sold. Su gar is stronger with more active distribu ,ion, but Spreekies again announces that his war with the trust is to lhc death, and his work is about to begin. The shoe towns have all been shipping more largely than usual and the demand con timies exceptionally good, fer the sea sonTn leather products generally with a prospect of some increase because of the Lynn tire. The great boom in iron.abroad with spe <u ;;ti\< ixeiten tut rarly wit nessed and rapid fluctuations in prices, causes some apprehension, because < vpe rience tenches that such rapid and ex cited movements are usually followed by ugly | react .• mis.
