The trade far the week past has been quiet and withou particular change of values. The flour market continues to role dull and depressed and the price of wheat here feels the effect The receipts at point will average about 1,000 bushels a day which is Dot sufficient to supply the usual milling demand.

Oar corn mills are now grinding for shipping, and the season may be called fairly opened, the prloa of milling corn ranging from 30 to 32 cents. Eggs are scarce and in good demand, readily bringing 23 cents a dozen. The market well supplied with Thanksgiving poultry and supplies, and the holiday goods trade are laying in large stocks te to meet the demand from now till New Years.

We id not scrutinize the article carefully, and now nothing personally of the compara- ivc merits of Board or ccinpa- ies, aad therefore do not care for any ontroveray on the subject; but as the iews of one side have already been pre- ented, we accede 'o the request of the companies to give their of he insurance situation. The article fol- owing is from the XLW York Express There is no the fact that is a crisis in the utTairs oi the Na- tionul Chronicle, Because of the illiberal, dictatorial course if gome of its prominent members we pre- this over a year ago. The officers and board of directors of some of our old- st and uniformly successful companies, will not dictated tu as to the manner hey sliaH pjuduci their own business; and arbitrary attempts to ride over that feeling if self-respect must of necessity, as it has, uptrindust: fcelingg antagonistic to the Jftticinal Board "iling," as King there ruly is.

The wholesale tleuunciatiun of Non-Board iiy too mimy counecied with the National liuarJ, ought tu be stopped. Re- pectable board companies and agents, as veil as the representatives of Non-Board companies, ought to interest themselves to lave justice done in this luatter. The as far as it is can confidently demand justice and should as freely grant t. If it encourages or ullows wholesale slander of non-board companies it shows its own weakness, moral cowardice and fore- a its own downfall. write nut as a partisan of either board or non-board com- janies, but iu the interest of truth and ustice.

We have carefully and thoroughly examined several insurance publications for the most reliable statements of as many companies as possible, aud a large cumber of "iial reports. These figures show tho eompr.iuy' average to stand better ttaa board companies, viz: First, the nin-board, 1, 1874, avor- higher book value of stock than board companies. Second, the proportion of assets to liabilities (whether capital was included in liabilities or not) in non-board was greater than in board companies. Third, the proportion of losses in board companies averaged greater on tho business of 1873 than in the non-board companies. Fourth, a larger proportion of non-board companies paid dividends on the business of 1873 than on board companies.

The same is true of 1874, all showing that tbe business of the non-board is eon- ducted equally, if not more carefully, than that of board companies. It is, therefore, highly impolitic for the representatives ol the National Busrd to make prejudicial statements as to the practice and standing of non-board companies, with invidious npariions, because it is not substantiated by the facts in the This having been done, of course a crisis is imminent in the affairs of the Board. We have the tabulated statistics demonstrating the above points in favor of non-board companies, fully and unequivocally, which may be had upon application. Absolutely Without Fault.
