A’ committee of three has, for some weeks, been | employed in invesugating the books of the Company, but we understand, without ar- riving at any defimite result. The recent | losees appear to bave been very heavy, and have induced the Company to suspend. A great many of the risks, we are informed, have been distant, and contracted through agents perhaps more interested in commissions than mm the profits of the institution. The liabilities of the Company are variousiy estimated at five to six millions.” The markets, as will be seen by the follow- ing summary from the Baltimore American, re- main unchanged: Coffee. —The market yesterday opened very | strong for the higher grades of Rio, the supply oi which is only moderate, and we now qnote prices as ranging from Isa2i cents, gold, as to quality. ‘Viour—City Mills shipping Extras are in some demand for the South American market, but we are apprised of mo sales.
