ANOTHER INSURANCE COMPANY SUSPEND.
ED.-We learn from the Albany Evening Post
that the Commerce Company of that city has
suspended business and will ask for the ap.
pointment of receivers for the purpose of clos
ing up its business This is the result of The
Chicago fire. Although its risks in that city
were considerably scattered, in accordance
with the dictates of prudence, its losses absorb
ed its large surplus and so weakened its CAPT.
tai that its directors have determined to 60 in
to liquidation after passing all losses, and give
place 10 successor. 1t is intimated that the
stockholders will form new company. The
loss of the Commerce was about 100000, out
of capital and surplus OF about $3.50, O0O
