Dissolution of the New York Chamber Of
Lie Insurance.

The New York Chamber Of Life Insurance has
gone to pieces. The association was organize
In 1873 to add strength and stability to the
institution OF life insurance administered upon
sound principles, by cooperation, for mutual
assistance. and for the conduct Of the business
with economy and In the most favorable manner
for the interests OF heinsured." At one time Its
membership included twenty.nin companies.
The chamber proved disappointment In oil
respects. The harmony of the companies was
iiessened rather than increased by it, and the
valuable results expected from comparative
study of the experience Of the companies. as In
the question Of mortality, were not forthcoming
owing to the reluctance OF the companies to ex-
pose the gradual decline of their business.

The Question Of supervision Of Cotton

About two years ago the shippers of cotton to
this port. thinking that they we're being de-
frauded by the extraction from their bales of
an unnecessarily large amount Of the staple in
the matter OF samples. raised their voices. loud
and long. against this drainage of this source of
their wealth. Our Cotton Exchange, after a
thorough investigation of the subject, became
convinced OF the truthfulness of these charges,
and wishing to preserve the fair fame of our
market, instituted system OF supervision of
cotton in presses and on the levee, which has
been attended with the most beneficial effects
This system, now in successful operation. of a
general oversight of the handling, sampling.
storing and shipping of all the cotton coming
to this port. is most carefully and iudiciously
carried out and has, to great degree. served
TO restore the ancient prestige that used to at
tach to New Orleans cottons.
On the institution Of this system great oppo-
sition was manifested, and loud and deep were
the anatheraas uttered against both those who
originated it and those who assumed positions
looking to its practical exemplification. 1t was
considered to be kind of espionage. which
should not be established and countenanced
by such a respectable body as those gem
tiemen who constituted the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange. But there was a differ
ence OF opinion on this subject, and a
supervisory board was established under
the auspices OF the Exchange. which has
been of vast benefit to the cotton interests of
this city and the country contiguous thereto.
Touching this subject. we take the following
from the annual report made by Mr., W. G.
Black. dated November %, 1877, who was then
the honored president of the New Orleans Cot |
ton Exchange:
IL affords US pleasure to congratulate the Ex- |
Change on the continued success OF its system |
