THE INSURANCE COMPANIES.

The financial prospect is hourly bright
eDing. The Republic insurance company
Of this city expects to psy every dollar of
their risks, as they have, under Mr.. Pay
sons management, cut down the city
risks as much as possible for some time
back, conhning the bulk of their business
to the country. This is an extremely
gratifying fact, as it gives assurance that
more of our home companies may be in a
better condition than at first anticipated.
The following important items in relation
TO insurance have been collected from re
liable authorities:
The Royal insurance company of Liver
pool loses $l35 900; the Imperial Of Liver
pool loses $500, 900; the North British
Of Liverpool loses .$2,700,000. Good
authority fOots up the entire loss
Of The Liverpool and London insur-
snce companies at a, 10000. The H9na OF
Hartford, and Home of New York, have
each 5000, 900 In the city, ABOUT 81, ,0OO, ,OOO
of which Is in the burnt district. Other
Hartford companies have 81 800, 900, all
OF which will be paid. The Phoenix OF
Hartford, has 500 ,000-all good. All OF
the Cleveland companies are broken. The
Commercial of Cleveland, loses $500, ,000
its sULire capitsl-but the stockholders
have snbscribed 500, 900 and will com.
mence business az ". The Pacific and
I OGtluchsnl DAllp@ulc7 tOSo b4olA OAbAA
assets. The president of the International
telegrsphs that he will be here in thirty
six hours, and is prepared to pay all their
losses, amounting to $500, 900, The Trades
mems, OF New York, loses only about Sl5,-
/ 900, which is already paid. Field, Liet0E
q Co.'s store, owned by Potter Palmer
was insured in an English company foI
two-thinds OF its value. Field, Lieter q
Co. had S3, 100, O00 insurance on their stock

which WAS held by creditors As collatersl
