_ Tuesdat Evening, Nov. 28.
There is reason to think that the plethora of
unemployed money in the banks of this city la
steadily increasing. We know of several banks
that would Ik> glad to Increase their loans 8300.000
or 81,000,000 each if they could get th« rigUt kind
of so-dny paper with satisfactory collaterals, and
It is not iutproliablo that in the aggregate llic
banks would increase their loan*-;3.ooo.o<io or even
more, on such security. Probably $10,000.-
000 of insurance claims have been
paid within tbe lust three weeks—a very considera
ble proinwrion of which has gone temporarily lu
te the banks. This, together with the new capital
brought here by new citizens, lias temporarily
made the deposits of the banks greater than they
over wvt, AK'forc. At least 810,000,000 more will
be paid before tlK* end of December, and, though
this Increase of deposits canuot of course be re
garded as permanent, it will probably keep
-money easy nil winter. Some of the banka of St.
Louis nnd other cities are now getting accomoda
tion here for 30 days on their own paper
at 7 per cent per annum. The banks here have
inmost cases widely refused to loud to the pock
-s*rs and other private'individuals of other cities
■who have applied hero for loans, because, ns has
been mentioned before, the biiuks of this city
deem it necessary to run strong” this winter,
but then* sceuih no reason why they could not
isafely increase their loans to banks of oilier
cities when they cannot find satisfactory employ
jnenl for the money here.
Exchange continues abundant at 50c per SIOOO
discount*, tor between hanks. At tue coun
ter, bankers sell at 2».ir nnd buy at 3-10 discount.
The New York Commercial refers to the impor-
Utut mlluenec exercStsed upon the New York
money market by the Canadian bankers, and re
fers particularly to the Bank of Montreal, as fol
lows; “Paid up capital, c millions, circulation
•n 1-2 millions, deposits (government and private,
on demand ami for stated times), 19 3-4 millions
and. on the asset side of the account, dis
t-ouuts of ic 1-8 millions, and balances outside of
Canada, 93 4 millions "While, therefore, the Bank of
“Montreal reports hut one-fifth of tho total dis
counts. it has two-third?* of the balances abroad.”
The Co)/niicrriol :il*-o intimates that tho accu
mulation of tho Canadian balances contributed,
logethcr with Mr. Bout well's course, to produce
the plethora which opiTcs-ed the New York mar
hot for mouths, and contributed to bring
■money up to 15 per cent In Montreal.
Theriifiadelnlila Ledger says: “We hare the au
thority of the rcnnsvlrania Railroad Company, the
lessee of the Fort Wayne, for Raying-tbM-the new

triiE runcuASß or insurance claims as offsets.
The question of how much the insolvent local
insurance companies will pay on their losses
.depends, of course, very largely upon how much
of their assets, in the shape of loans, will he al>-
•sorbed hy offsets for losses on policies held by the
parties who owe the companies for those loans.
There seems to he no reason for doubt that the
debtors of the companies may legally set
off the amount or their claims upon
•the companies for losses against an
•equal amount of indebtedness to the company,
except indebtedness for unpaid stock. Offsets of
Ihiscind are explicitly provided for iu the Na
tional Bankrupt law, and decisions have been
made in various State courts iu accordance with
it. A number of cases ore cited in tha Digest
■of Fire Insurance Decisions,** showing the ruling
of the courts on this point, one of which
trill be sufficient as an example: In
the case of Receivers of the Globe Insurance
company, (2d Edwards New York, Chancery, C 25,
1836.) toe Company loaned money on a bond and
xnortgnge, and at the same time insured the
building subject to the mortgage. In the great
lire in New York, the hull ling was destroyed and
the company rendered insolvent. Held, that the
assured might set off the amount of bis loss under
-the policy a gainst the bond and mortgage.’*
But the liability of a stockholder to the com
pany cannot be offset by individual claims of the
stockholder against the company. The liability
-of the stockholder is. in fact, not to the company,
but to the policy-holders. The Directors, officers,
and stocJ:hoiders are, in fact, Trustees for the
and their indebtedness to the com
pany, no matter of what kind., whether
lor borrowed money or for unpaid stock,
is n part of the trusl fund, which
they hold for the policy-holders, and which they
cannot legally misappropriate for their own bene
fit to tho detriment of the claims of the policy
polders. Refering again to theDigest ofFircln
jsttrance DenVonr, we quote the case of Dong rs.
Pennsylvania Insurance Company (8 Penn St.
421.): “Where A was liable to the com
pany for unpaid instalments on his
.stock notes or shares, and tho com
pany became insolvent, and A purchased
from a stranger, on unpaid balance due on a
policy of insurance by the company, It was held,
that bo could not set off any more of such claim
against the company than the pro rata dividend
of the assets of the company upon the total
amount of its losses.
These decisions seem to establish the rale that
Stockholders in insurance companies are excluded
Jrom all the privilege of offsets by
Teason of their position as fiduciary
.agents of the policy-holders. It may be
a question os to whether the stockholder would
Pave tie privilege of setting off his claim for loss
under a policy of the company issued to himself,
and against any indebtedness other than for un
paid stock. But the two decisions cited above
will show that the expectations of those stock
holders who are now buying up claims of tho in
solvent companies with the} expectation of thus
paying up their debts to the policy-holders for
money borrowed from tho companies and for un
paid stock, will be disappointed.
There is, howovvr, still another aspect to the
purchase of claims by stockholders. If tho
stockholders buy up till the claims against the
company, the company becomes solvent, and the
Directors may then legally agree with the stock
holders that the latter may pay up their unpaid
dock with claims at par. Let us see how tins
would work in the case of the Republic. The com
p.'iny is now paying 25 cents on tho dollar of all
adjusted claims, ami issuing certificates of in
lii-bleflnessforthe remaining 75 per cent. Tho
n»ijnsjed claims on the company are now selling
an the market for 70 cents. The purchaser pre
sents these to the company and gets 25 cents
back. This makes the certificate of indebtedness
C'-st him 00 per cent of its par value. The com-
I'.r-y will probably owe $2,500,000 of claims
sifter the 25 per cent is paid out of
it present available assets. If the stockholders
rlir.uld buy up $2,300,000 of these certificates of
jiidcbleducse at 00 cents on tho dollar, they could
p:.r off their losses at a cost of $1,500,000 over the
:i now in hand. An additional $500,000 would
7-c a fair capital on which to begin business, so
lhat at a total co*t of $2,000,000 (equal to 40 per
cent on the unpaid stock), the company couldpuy
till losses and continue business.
The affairs of the Norwich Insurance Company,
Ol Norwich, Conn., liave been examined by a
aiumbor of trustworthy merchants and pollcy
liolders, who pronounce Its statement a fair one.
and »ay they believe the 35 per cent offered by
the company is not only all that the assets are
worth, but that if the company's affairs were set
tled bv a Receiver or in bankruptcy its assets
Would not pay 20 cents on tho dollar of its losses.

An advance of 10c per joo lbs in the price of live
3iops made holders of produce firmer In their
views, while buyers freely bid yesterday’s quo
tations, but were not willing to concede the ad
vance. ITcncc there was little agreements. A
s?reat many operators uro inclined to think that
juices have been run down too low, while others
*?ay that the product of this season cannot bo dis

Wheat is irregular, averaging a trifle better than
yesterday. The market opened very dull and
quite weak, with numerous sellers and few buy
ers, principally owing to a report that Liverpool
and New York were lower. lint later tbe Now
York market changed its tone, and then one or
two operators here bid up till l-2c advance was
reached; tbe market then ruled fitful to the close,
with few transactions, but a great deal, of talk.
There was no shipping demand of consequence,
and the inquiry for options was rather Ucht, es

Corn was rather less active,-and again lower,
owing to large receipts, and little demand. The
shipping orders were fair for the- season, bnt
speculative buyers took hold very sparingly till
the latter part of the session, when there was a
better demand at the reduced prices, especially

Kcrcbeval Son, of St. Louis, “write as follows:
The consumption of animal food is steadily in*
creasing, within the past two years, more appa
rent in Europe than m America, as Is evidenced
l»y the shipments from New York, since Ist Jan
uary, of 116,861 brls pork, 114,740 brls beef, 71,583,-
700 lbs bacon, C 3,993.400 ll>s cheese, and 102.035,000
lbs lard, against 71,201 brls pork, 70,263 brls boof,
21,701,000 lbs bacon, £6,823,800 lbs cheese, and
25,576,300 lbs lard In a corresponding period of
last year. To moot this Increased export demand,
there must be a corresponding increase in tho
particular description of meats required;
and. as the largest proportion of it comes
from England and the Continent of Europe, meats
must bo cured with special reference to their pe
culiar trades; hence it would seem there ought to
Ik‘ more of “English bacon" and prime mess
pork, tlmn of such rough dry-salted meats and
luces pork as America and the Gulf Islands re
quire. The Auditors’ returns from a few of the
Western States show an increase of bogs. 6 months
old, on April l, over lust year; in the States not
reported, a similar increase in claimed. It is also
authenticated that in England and Ireland there
is an increase in the number of pigs this over
last year; but it is known that on the Continent of
Europe, more especially in France, Holland,
the German States, and Austria, there
is n great falling off from their nsual
supply, whilst In our own country tho “kill "of
summer hogs has greatly exceeded that of any
previous season, so that in the aggregate supply
there may be no such Increase as greatly to un
settle prices, though in localities (say In the
cheap ana productive lands of the West, where
the raisingor hogs and cattle os food has been
driven by the more valuable products of tho
Eastern States) there may bo a material increase,
though even this will be irregular, »s from the
long drought of tho summer com Is scarce in
some places, not well matured in others, and will
necessitate the early marketing of hogs, even
though imperfectly fatted, as m many cases is
now being done. lu our country the weight of
hogs cannot come up to that of last year,
whilst in Ireland the blight u! potatoes, and In
England and Ireland the average Inferiority of
summer crops, including peas and beets—and on
the western continent of Europe the devastations
of war and the requirements of the armies. In
cluding tho«c of a largely impoverished people—
will preclude feeding their pigs to the average
fatted weight; so that, to our mind’s oyo, heavily
fatted hogs, whether at home or abroad, are ob
jects not to be seen this season, save as excep
tions, as will, we think, bo manifest In the Anal
reports, to bo made up iu March next. In pur
chasing, there is little competition at present,
but rather an agreement, actual or conceded, to
keep prices down, whilst in tho more Eastern
places the average is higher than at competing
Western ones.

grades continues fairly active and sufficient to
prevent any accumulation of stock, and prices
remain ilrm at 20a25c. Some fancy lota havo boon
taken at an advance on these figures, but sales
at over 25c are rare, and do not fairly reflect the
market^, Shippers are still in the market, but
thoyarrnot operating extcnsirely at present and
a somewhat easier feeling is noted in the market

pressed. and prices, without being quotably
lower, favored buyers. There was not a half
dozen shippers In attendance, and only two or
three of those were operating, so that, limited as
was the supply of shipping grades, the offerings
fully equalled the demand. City butchers took a

An interview, wtth Captain MqMillen, of tile
schooner Sherman, has cleared up some points
regarding the abandonment of his vessel at Long
Point not before understood. When he left her,
the water was gaining onthem.iiar anchor was
slowly dragging, and they .were .rapidly neanng
Long Point. He bad no doubt of getting ashore
nt Long Point, and his object was, b©aides saving
tho lives of the crew, toproonro assistance tosavo
tho vessel, but after leaving tho vessel ho
found he could neither get ashore nor
get to her. Ho then headed tho yawl before tho
wind and started on that twenty-hour trip across
the lake. They were driven directly against a
high bluff, of solid rock, running back and up
some 80 to 100 feet. AS the boat drove ashore,
having broken all of their oars bat one, be was
unable to keep her head on, and the return waves
nearly swamped her as she turned. Tho crew* were
then forced to toko tho water, each for Mmaolf.
The cook was so far gone that she eould not help
herself in the least, and was drowned. One of
the men was drawn back under the boat by tho un
dertow, and ns it would have been certain death
for any of tho crew to attempt his.rescue under
tho circumstances, and in the condition in
which they were, they could only leave him to
bis own exertions, and seek assistance as
expeditiously as possible. A crevice In tho
rocks, barely wide onougu for one man
and slight footholds, enabled them, one at time,
by crawling on them knees part of the way. to
reach tho top of tho rocky bluff, from which they
soon reached succor and tho kindest of attention.
This was at 4 o’clock in tho morning. They had
landed near Brooton village, whore they found
people ever ready to aid thorn by prompt action
and liberal donations.—* Buffalo J trpress.
