GENEVA AWARD AND THE UNDEgwRITERs
Editor Star: regret to observe in TBK STAR OF
yesterday an article, attributed to the New York
tribune, which questions the propriety of insur-
ance companies participating in the indemnity
fund awarded by the Geneva board for spoil atoms
by confederate cruisers on American commerce;
and the Tribune is represented anticipating "a
general feeling of disappointment ii IL should
turn out that all our diplomatic fnesse and
figuring had resulted in a benefit only to the
insurance companies of the country" II "the
insurance companies of the country" were 80
liberal as to take the entire risk of all the ad-
ventures at sea embraced in the award, and if
they paid all the losses in full, (the only n.y.
pothesis whereupon they can possibly become
the only beneheiarics.) then nothing but a spirit
of envy or disposition to defeat the ends of
justice can interpOse TO deprive these useful in
sttutioIs Of all or any of The rights which in
law and custom have been accorded them for
centuries, and never seriously denied. Who
will deny to the private individuals, owners of
the Tribune, the amount OF insurance accruinp
to them on account of the decease OF Mr.. q rec
ley? The amount is ouly so much salvage out
of the investment made from the revenues OF
the ofiee, and every dollar gained is a loss TO
the individuals whose money is invested in

NEW YORK MARKET.

NEW YoRE, June %, 1872.
The ten rates 10 which loans for conveying
have fallen 2d3 per cent. would indicate that
but little funds are gong west to buy wool
And this is so partly However, because western
agents are already well supplied with currency.
Wool shall have to move more freely before
more money is needed. Manufacturers and
spectators are little disappointed at the
firmness which characterizes the beginning OF
the great sale in London, fine wool falling of
only Z! and = from last falls prices. The
past has done great deal to put our market
on solid basis. Buyers now know that for
elgn wool is not to be got for a song, and at
the same time, american growers may az well
come to business fret as last, for with the
possibility Of good fine foreign wool being laid
down on our shores at Coo, they can not get
even that figure, for freight has 10 be taken
into account.

many true and great men, it cannot lie denied
that the surrounding temptations are fearful,
