Men insured tor Jarge sums have visited the companies and sougnt comfort and, of course, obtained {t, The bulk’ot the assets of the com- panies doing businoss in this city consist of first mort- ages on houses and lands, principally in this city and State, although the sum invested in Philadelphia and Roston and some of the Western cities is quite large. As the decline in New York real cstate 18 estimated at from thirty to forty per ceut tho loss sustained by the companies ig severe It has been gradual, how- ever, aud for the just eighteen months the companies have ngt touched real estate security, unlossit was of the very best cuaracter and Joss was an iupossibility, While to years paat the average amount of bosiness fone In loaning money on mortgages was trom £12,C00,000 to $14,000,000, for the ten months of this year tt is estimated that the investments will not reach $3,000,000, while over $20,000,000 have been invested in United States bonds. It is now almost impossible to negotiate a loan with an insurance company or asavings bank. They arcafraid that real estate has not yet ‘touched bottom,’ and then it !s a security which cannot readily be negotiated and turned into cash. This is the source of weakness eth the insurance companies to-day. Nearly every Corporation bas mortgages the interest on which re- mains unpaid, and they are afraid to foreclose during tho present condition of the market, for recent ex- poriences have shown that the amounts bid will not cover the tirst mortgnges. Whilo ono class of real estate may not have decreased in value, another class muy have fallen more than lty per cent. aul idence of this was given by tho sale of the ‘Third Avenuo Savings Bank building. This establishment cost the bank $220,000, yet it was sold to tho new Brewers’ Bank for $35,000, and the Third Avenue Bank ‘trastees Were glau to get that sum for it. Ifthe {nsurance companies were compelled to realize upon securities te-day they would no doubt be in as untor- fauate predicament as the savings institutions which recently failed. ‘The receivers have endeavored tu re- alize the amounts loaned by the diroctors and have failed, and it is not likely that the other corporations have been more carciul or shrewd than the bunk man- agors, who thought they were lending on the best of security. The amount of money loaned on bond and morigage, and invested in real entate, by the fire and life insurance companies of this city, is something siupendous, Tho tigares will be found below.

Straxr, ‘ Scxpay, Nov 26, 1 } “They tool to the top of my bent,’ exclaims Hamlet, after having put Polonious through « course of batural history and makiog him mix weasel and whale in an wietic jumble, So cries the steck jobber, vielously udverting to the railroad munagers, who have fooled nim with fair promises of peace aud jug- gled him out of his dollars by foul persiateuce until | speculation bas beeome a barden and the fuluro a fog. Nevertheless, upon this very uncertainty, j this hesitancy between peace and war, hus turoed whatever (here was of stock business during the week. 1s early began to be rumored that, although Mr, Jessup had not used his anthority to call together the railway contestants in formal con- gress, there had yet been some sort of assimilation be- | tween the jarring elements, in a quiet way, which was likely to lead to harmonious unanimity in the end, A dinner pit! nad been administered somehow to the suf- forers trom indigestible discord, and the functions of the railway corporation were to go on for the future {ree from spasms of competition, Believers in a radical cure bought stock: isbehovers, who thoaght the malady might be patched up, but not erad. icated, sold them prudently and sparsely. So, the preponderauce ot faith being on the side of the bulls, and the disposition to back it up also, there resulted astrong market and a general improvement in all railroad prices, Lake Shore, the Northwesterns and Michigan Central were head and front im the move- ment, the first because of assistance from its old friends, with aside pash from Twenty-third street; the second from the circumatance that some favorable figures bad been squeezed out of it, and the third from no particular reason except that it hi been smuggled into good company and was deriving the benetit of respectable companionship. Meantime the coal stocks were getting more and more under acloud beneath the application of the second rule of arithmetic to existing quotations as wellas to the prices obtained at the public sales of their pro- duct, With good reuson, too, for the result of the auction sales showed an average decline of from forty to ity cents per ton on tho rates obtained in October, while it established, in addition, u well grounded be- lief that dividends wore of tess likely occurrence than financial embarrassments. Under this pressure prices gave way {rom foar to five percent, some long stuck finding its way to market, whtle the short interest-was vastly increased, At the middle of the weck there was a complete re- versal of the speculation, railway shares slipping off to lower figures, while the coal stocks were climbing toward botter ones. Once again the railroad peaco was declared to be # myth, aud operators on the long side found that they were sold, if their stocks were not, producing a situation directly the roverse of their in- tention, while the short sellers of the anthracite fancies found themselves in an equally bad plight when they saw prices rise under the scarcity of cash stock amd the turn of the screw in the hands of the shrewd operators who appreciated the opportunity, With this scc-saw in prices passed the first four days In tho week, leaving the last two to drag on at steady quota- tions and without feature, although renewed promise: of acessation in ratiroad hostiltties were made with | more possibility of truth thao eve! Beyond resting hke a nightmaro upon the market, the political situation both at home and abroad has | had hittle or noeflect.

In both of these instances, prices having reached a very low ebb, they reacted ovesient to new influences which have been intro. auced into the situation, Of the former it is said that the road will probably be foreclosed or reorganized under the second mortgage and pass into the bands of the Baltimore and Ohio Company. bonds are alleged to be abundantly secured. The ad- vance in the issues of Toledo and Wabush was due to the announcement of the Stockholders’ Committee | that an amicable adjustment of al) differences between the shareholders aud the holders of the gold mortgage bonds had beon effected. The sale recently made at Toledo baz been confirmed by mutual consent, and & new corporation }s to be organized, in which the old stockholders have the privilege of participating.
