The st. louis Mutual Life Insurance
ComDauv

company,
In calling special attention TO the pub
lished statement and regular announce
ment of the St. Louis Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company, appearing in our columns
this morning, we do SO with very great
pleasure, as it affords us an opportunity to
specify few of the many points of inter-
est in this popular and rapidly growing
candidate for patronage and public favor.
1t will not be disputed, we believe, that
the officers and managers Of the st. Louis
Mutual have shown great skill and fiaan-
cial ability in bringing its affairs mp to a
very high standpoint in public estimation.
They are men of acknowledged moral
worth, business talent and vast personal
resources, and under their management
the prosperity and success of the company
have not been surpassed by any other on
the continent, so far as our information
extends.
1t has far ou,stripped all others in the
opening up the year 1869 with assets
amounting to almost three and half
million dollars, having increased their as
sets during the last year over one million,
after paying losses and dividends amount
mig to over three. fourths of million
They have Issued about 5000 policies,
while theirmeans for meeting all their lia-
bilities are ample in assets reserved and
well secured, while their present annual
income will not fall far short of three mill
lions.
The past success of this company is also
a strong guarantee for the future; and the
people are learning to regard the cheapest
assurance they can get, that which is based
on tried skill, sterling integrity and expe
rienced men at the head, and general and
individual agents in the business of the
company.
Then they must bear in mind that this is
a mutual profit company and the West pays
higher per cent. on all funds loaned than
in the East or Northern cities, giving all
the assured an increased advantage in large
dividends from the profits in interest, etc.
The State agent, Col. s. X. Foote, stands
at the head of the list wherever he goes OF
is known; while the agents of the company
in our city, Messrs. John III. Bond and j.
D. Cross, swell and favorably known
throughout Middle Tennessee, are 80 pre-
senting the claims of the company as to
make them invaluable aids to the efficient
working of the whole, We are we'll &C
quaiDted with both these gentlemen and
cannot too highly commend them 10 the
people of Tennessee everywhere Look
into the workings of the est. Louis Mu-
tuaP' and govern yourselves accordingly.

GENERAL Markets.

FLoUR-The favorable advices from
the East infused holders with more conf
dence than has been exhibited for several
days; and if the advance established at
those points is maintained, i. will cause
considerable speculative inquiry here. The
sales to-day amounted TO 240 bills, which
were exclusively to the local trade, there
being no outside buyers in the market.
Prices ranged all the way from 81 to $ll.
There were several orders in for the lower
grades yesterday, but the market is almost
bare of these descriptions, but will be
amply supplied in day or two.
WHEAT.-The receipts to-day show
considerable falling off from yesterday.
The mills being well stocked, however,
there was no advance established. The
large breadth of land soWn, and the glow
ing accounts from the crop, induces buyers
to operate with caution, and it seems to be
the opinion of the knowing ones that
prices must soon give way. Prices have
been relatively higher than -four during
the entire season, and the profits Of nil
lers have not justified their Investments.
CORN MEAL.-The demand for meal TO-
day was not so brisk as in the early part
of the week. The heavy receipts of corn
unsettled the views of buyers. The sales
of the day were 224 bbls at 50 30@3 50
per Dbl for unbolted, and 65970c per
bushel for loose unbolted.
CoRE.-The receipts Of corn continue
heavy, aud prices have reached point be-
yond which some of our largest buyers dare
not go. As soon as the distillers have sup
piled themselves the market will become
more stationary. We heard of the sale Of
10000 bushels for February delivery, sacks
included, at 65c, and 5000 bushels for
March delivery at cite, which shows that
there are few Bears on the market, "a
these figures are somewhat below present
quotations. The transactions to-day were
made at Coo buying, and 75o sacked, and
delivered in depot.
The receipts of grain at the Jackson
Mills to-day included !, OPS bushels of corn
and 500 bushels of wheat.
CoTToN SEED.-We heard Of the sale of
10000 lbs. at rate OF 10 per ton.
DRIED FRUIT.-Sales to-day at Sc for
apples and &c for quarter peaches

The Journal Of Commerce give
particulars showing how the internal

was $74,739,910 81 below the CORE
spending total for 1867. The Journal
says: Returns for the current year will
show a still further and very important
reduction. II this is continued, there
will be point where the income and ex-
penses will be so wide apart that the
national credit will drop between them,
