CAN'T STAND THE NEW LAW.
Insurance Companies May Conclude to
 Withdraw from Arkansas.

Insurance Companies May Conclude to
 Withdraw from Arkansas.
 The legislature of 1891 passed an act requiring all insurance companies do- ing business in Arkansas to give bond in the sum of $20, 900 to secure the pay ment of losses in this state. The act pro- vided that the bonds might be given by resident individual sureties or by trust companies or banks. Up to that time all such bonds, with few exceptions, had been made by local trust companies. The recent legislature amended the act regulating the kind of bonds corpora tions could make in this state and At torney-General Clarke has decided that bonds for insurance companies can not be made by other than individual sure ties Many of the bonds made by the companies expire at this season of the year and about forty of these compa- nies had renewed their bonds through local trust companies prior to June 5, leaving about thirty that had not filed their renewals up to that date and which will now be competed to furnish bonds through individual sureties.
 
 Prominent among the life compahies left out are the Equitable Life, New York Life, Home Life and Massachu- setts Mutual. The principal fire com panies in the same attitude are the Home. of New York; Glens Falls, Ger man-American, Continental, Oriental, Connecticut, Greenwich Fire Associa- tion, New Orleans, Sun Mutual, South ern. Teutonic. Germania, Lancashire and Scottish Union and National.
 Little Rock insurance men contem- plated instituting proceedings to test the correctness of the attorney gen. erals opinion, but as the next leglsla- ture will meet before the case could be disposed of through the courts, It IS probable that insurance companies will withdraw from the state until matters can be shaped by necessary legislation. It will be impossible to give a personal bond, as the sureties on such bond are liable to be included as defendants in all suits brought against the companies.

Dull business and Dad collections, together with the tightness Of lhe money market. compelled the suspension. IL IS generally believed that the firm will re- sume in few weeks. St Louis and New York houses, with whom they traded for twenty years, have te telegraphed proIers of assistance.
