The shareholders of the London Indisputable Life
Company held their meeting yesterday, and received a
very favourable report from the directors. In this docu-
ment it is stated that at the former annual meeting
1,015 policies, representing 303,7791., had been issued, and
in the course of the last twelve months there have been
received 513 proposals for the assurance of 186,9071. 55.,
of which 428 have been accepted and completed, assur-
ing 127,812/. 195., and yielding in annual premiums
4,7021. 3s. 9d,, being a considerable increase over the
business of the previous year, and making the number of
policies issued since the establishment of the company
1,443, wanting 431,5911. 19s. After deducting the
policies that have become claims, those that have ex-
pired, and those that have dropped, there remain 1,184
policies, yielding an annual income of 13,7961. 3s. Id.
The balance-sheet to 31st December last, containing a
statement and valuation of tho assets and liabilities of
the company, certified and audited in terms of the stature
under which the company is incorporated, is presented
to the meeting; from which it appears, that after pro-
viding for the payment of the sums assured, and out-
standing debts, including the whole preliminary expenses
attending the formation of the company, there was at
that period a balance of 28,5041. 10s. Id., which will be
applicable to the reduction of premiums as provided by
the deed of constitution. The claims of last year
amounted only to 1,7421 14e., making the total amount
of claims from the commencement of the company,
3,9411. 14s. The premiums received upon expired
and lapsed polices, which no longer continue as
obligations on the company, have amounted to 1,7034 14d.
In reference to the colonial wool auctions recently
concluded, it is stated by Messrs. Jacomb that—" Tho
close competition in the sale of manufactured goode of
all kinds, and especially in the Bradford market, has
for some months made the realisation of adequate profits
upon those made from previous purchases a matter of
extreme difficulty; and for this reason the Yorkshire
consumers bought comparatively sparingly in the earlier
sales. Some considerable purchases, as is surmised, on
speculators' account, had, however, the effect of fully
maintaining prices, and compelling manufacturers and
dealers, whose requirements needed an immediate sup-
ply, .
to meet times rates. It to be hoped that the firm
market may enable them to
aspect of our realise advanced
rates for goods, and prevent any serious fluctuations in our
succeeding sales. Although it may be considered that
the causes indicated above may have had some consi-
derable effect in producing the advanced rates, it must be
evident to all parties that the vastly-increased consump-
tion of colonial wool in the past three years has, without
doubt, at length overtaken the supply, and it is fair to
infer that, if consumption be not checked by the ad-
vance, end colonial imports should unfortunately fall
short, and German wools not come forward in increased
supply, present prices may be expected to hold. Not-
withstanding the accounts received from the colonies,
prior to the shearing, which led us to fear the condition
and staple of the wool would this year be inferior, we
are bound to state that we never saw the wools from all
the ports showing better growth or better condition than
has this year been the case with the earlier imports:
too much praise cannot be accorded to the growers
and others for the great exertions they have
made under the iramenslo difficulties they have had to
encounter. We trust that later ship:tents may ar-
rive in as good codition, and that the advance realised,
and the great amount of emigration of all classes now
going forward to the Australian colonies may encourage
the growers to increased exertions for the ensuing clip
of wool, which staple is unquestionably the real wealth
of Australia, as well as the best supply of the great ma-
nufacturing interests of the woollen districts. The
German fairs are now in progress; that of Breslau com-
menced on the 3d inst., and it is anticipated that the
final result of that fair will show a very considerable ad-
vance upon last year's rates; but it must be recollected
that at Breslau last year prices ranged 10 per cent. lower
than at the succeeding large fairs. Although German
wools have of late years been imported in decreased
quantity, and the growth has also been considered to
have declined, it is reasonable to believe, as has hitherto
proved the case, that advanced rates will increase the
supply to England, notwithstanding the increasing re-
quirements of continental manufacturers, and that the
comparat;vely high prices of colonial will induce many
manufacturers to recur, to some extent, to supplies of
German produce."
The silver received here is shipped off almost as soon
as it arrives; and all that was brought by the last West
India mail steamer, the Orinoco, has been sold at an
advance of Id. per ounce.
The Amsterdam market on the Bth instant was very
favourable, and fresh purchases caused a rise in Dutch
Two-and•a-Half per Cents. to 611 11-16. Foreign
Stocks likewise had an upward tendency, except Mexican
which were rather lower.
The English Stock Merket has been very firm, but
not quite so active. Consols have realised 1004 s for
Transfer, and 100:1 to 101 for Account. Tho New Three-
and.asQuarter per Cents. have been 1021 to 4, and the
Three per Cents. 998 to 1008. Bank Stock has been
steady, at 222 i. The premium on
Exchequer-bills has
been dull, at 755., and India Bonds have been quoted
86s. to 89s. South Sea New Annuities
are 994.
Foreign Bonds are firm, th
