 It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the three companies represented Dy me. viz.., Liverpool and London and Globe. Phehix of Brooklyn and Commer- cial, Union Assurance. Co.,. of, London, came through the Baltimore fire with comparatively small drafts upon their large surplus. The Phenix's assets are over 600, and has a surplus of $1, ,60O,y 900, and It's loss amounted to about $225, ,000; The Commercial Unions assets in the United States Branch alone amounts to over $2OO,0O0, and its surplus to about $l, ,aO0,OOO and its loss at Baltimore to about s4O0,00O The following letter from The Liverpool and London and Globe Is self-explanatory. This company has $55. .O0O, 900 assets, about $12. .0OOO 900 of which belong to the United States Branch.

 Farmers are making very extensive preparations forithe present year. It-is apparent that cotton raising is uppermost in their minds, and it is feared that too little attention will he given to other products. Never before has there been so much fertilizers hauled out into the country on wagons And it seems that this increased demand for fertilizers Is not confined to this section for the two large fertilizer factories here are shipping from twenty-five to forty car loads daily, and about two weeks behind with their orders.
 Firms who have placed orders for ship ments. are adding largely to their orders and the factories are pressed to fill them. Heavy rains have been falling here for the past three days until this morning. when the weather changed to cooler, and the temperature is rapidly falling.

| GrinnelI, Nov. 8.--Mntters In regard
to the failure or the First National
bank are still interesting. A petit
ton. addressed TO Comptroller Ridgeley
signed by numerous dopositors ind
some business men. asking for tho ro-
moval Of the present receiver and tho
appointment of John G. Manly Of this
city, Will BIO presented to Secretary
Shaw on his promised arrival on We'd
ncsday next. Failing In this. 1t Ia the
intention OF these dissatisfied deposit
tors TO secure tho services Of some nble
lawyer to protect their interests. which
they claim are jeopardized under the
management Of the present receiver.
Legal steps are more than likely to be
instituted. In the matter OF one stock
holder liable for $1,000. who was COM
promised with for 1856.
The basis Of the suit will be the pub
Tic statement In public meeting that
said stockholder would lose every cent
he had on earth but that he would pay
his assessment in full, and the bank de-
posters would lose nothing on his ac-
count. Whether this will stand law
and the proceedings Of tho receiver In
this cmse be anpullod, Is an open ques-
ton but the dissatisfied deposltors
feel assured that II this case is brought
to the attention Of Shaw md Control
Ter Ridgley II will produce results. In
regard to the politics In the. case Lacey
has relieved himself Of some embar-
rnsament as to any direct action In tho
appointment of Receiver Swords but
there Is general feeling that politics
did result In tho appointment OF u man
outside OF poweghiek county notwith-
standing there were many men living
In Montezuma, Malcolm or Brooklyn
who would have been acceptable both
to depositors and stockholders There
In surprising number of women's Sig
natures on the list. asking for the re-
moval Of tho present receiver and to
these the loss OF even the small amount
Of money they had In the defunct bank
Is most serious. Hardly any OF the
business firms are interested moro than
to hope for M speedy settlement as
possible, and this without making the
appointment Of any receiver IN plum"
for political services rendered. There
is no feeling because Lanphere was
not appointed. Lanphere himself Ii no
sore head, and the majority Of republic
cans here feel that Lacey in trying to
secure the services, Of Judge Lewis
OF Montezumn, was working along the
line of the real interests of both stock
holders and depositors. Nevertheless
40 acute Is the situation now that to
claim that tho continuance OF the pres
ont recelvership will not result in fu-
ture political grief Is mistake. II
