INSURANCE IN CHICAGo.-The Chica 70
Tribune says: Insurance companies are way
cautious at present in regard to iDsuring prop
erty, and there il hardy chance for anybod,
TO get over-iDsurance from nrst-class com
parry. There are few which will take risks on
almost anything they can get, but one might
just as well have no insurance at all as to be
insured In such concerns. Ii is not likely that
in case of large FIRE they would be able to pay
their losses in full, as their assets are almost
vaiueless, and they are compelled to insure
almost anything In order to carry on their bust
ness. The better class of companies are greatly
reducing their lines OF insurance, and capceiIne
some Of the policies they no longer consider
hrst-class risks.

for JHiy.-The regular meeting OF the Board OF
Directors Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company for August WAS held at Annapolis yes
terdsy. President German submitted his re-
port for July, stating that the trade Of the canal
during the past month shows a very considera-
bic increase as compared with the corresponding
month OF the past year. The tonnage during
the month was III ,12i tons, which is an increase
OF 1898 tons over July, 1sii. The accrued rev
enue for the month was so9 e09 % which is an

ins increase in the tonnage and revenue for the
past month, the trade was entirely suspended

were expended in dredging Rock creek, con-
struction OF steam pump, stone crusher and

net revenue TO- the month TO be S44, $50 62.
During the past month the entire tonnage des-
tined for Alexandria has been passed through
Rock creek basin, the number OF bolts locked
in the Potomac being $40, or more than one
half OF the entire tonnage of the canal. To &C
