ONE HCNDUED AMD FOBTY-SF.VEN MILLION DOL LARS IN BEAL ESTATE HELD BY NEW YOUE INSURANCE COMPANIES?THE EFFECT OP THE DECLINE IN VALUES A LOS8 OF FOBTY MIL LIONS. The failure of the Continental Life Insurance Com pany and tbe exposure of tne severe efleots ol the do ctino In real estulo on tbe assets of Insurauce companies has caused a leeltcg ot uneasiness and apprehension on the part ol policy holders. Men Insured tor large sums have visited the companies and sought comlort and, of course, obtained IL Tbe bulk ot the assets of the com pauios doing bustnoss In this city consist of first mort gages on bouses and lands, prlncipslly In this city and State, although the sum investod in Philadelphia and Bostou and some ol the Western cities is quite large. Aa tbe decline in New York real estate is estimated at Irom thirty to forty par caut tbo loss sustained by the companies is severe It has been gradual, how ever, aud lor the last eighteen months the companies have nqt touched real estate security, union* It was of the very heat character and loss was an impossibility. While tn years past the average amount ol business done lu loaning money en mortgages was trom $12,000,000 to $14,000,000, for the ten months of this iresr it Is estimated thattba investments will not reach $3,000,000, while over $20,000,000 have been Invested In United States bonds. It Is now almost Impossible to negotiate a loan with an Insurance company or asavtngs bank. They aronfraid that real estate has not yet "touched bottom," and then it Is a security which cannot readily be negotiated and turned Into cash. This is the source ol weakness ertlh the insurance cotnpanlos to-day. Nearly every corporation bos mortgages tne Interest on which re mains unpaid, and they are afraid to foreclose during the present couditiou of tbo market, lor recent ex periences have abowu that the hiuouiiu bid will not cover the lirat mortgngoa. Wbito 0110 class ol real estate may not have decreased tu value, another class in?y have lallen more than Ulty per cent. A remark aole evidonce ol this was given by the sale ol tbo Third Avenuo Savings Bank building. This establishment cost the bank $230,000, yet it was sold to tho new Brewers' Bank for $85,U00, and tho Third Avenuo Bank Trustees were glad to got that sum lor it. II tbe Insurance companies were compelled 10 realize upon securities le-dny they would no doubt be 111 as unior lunate u predicament as tne savings institutions which receutly lallod. The receivers have endeavored to re alise tbe nmouuts loaned by the directors and have tailed, and it Is not likely that iho other corporations have been more carciul or shrewd than tbe bank man agers, who thought tbey were lending on the best of security. The amount ot money loanod on bond and mortgage, and Invested in real estate, by the lire and life Insurance companies of this city, is something stupendous. Tbo figures will be fouud below.

No cries the stuck jobber, 1 viciously advening to the railroad managers, who j have looted iiiui with lair promises of peace aud jug- ; filed lit id out ol his dollars by loul persistence until j speculation baa become a burden and the futuro a fog. Nevertheless, upon this very uncertainty, | this hesitancy between peace and war. has ; turned whatever (here was ol stock business ' during tho week. It early began to be rumored ' that, although Mr. Jessup had not used his authority to call together tbe railway contestants In lormul con- : gress, there had yet been some sort ol assimilation be- I tween tho jarring oloments, In n quiet way, which was likely to lend to harmonious unanimity In the end. A dinner pill nad been adnnuistered somehow to the suf- ] fercrs Irotn indigestible discord, and tho functions of ? tho railway uoiporutinn wore to go on tor tho future free from spasms or competition. Believers in a radical euro bought stocks; disbulicvers, who thought > the ruuiudy might be patched up, but nut crud. icated, sold them prudently and sparsely. So, the preponderance ol faith being on the side of tho bulls, ' and the disposil.on to back it up alto, there resulted a strong market and a genoral improvement In all railroad prices. Lake Shore, the Northwestern! aud Michigan Central were head and front in the move ment, the first bocauso of assistance from Us old friends, with a side push from Twenty-third street; the second from the circumstance that souie favorable figures bad been squeezed out or it, and the third from no particular reason except that It bad been smuggled Into good company and was deriving the benelit of respectable companionship. Meantime the coal stocks wero gelling more and more under a cloud beneath the application of tho second rulo oi arithmetic to existing quotations as well as to tho prices obtained at the public sales oi their pro duct. With cood reason, too, lor the result of tbe auction sales showed an avcrago decline or from forty to iluy cents per ton on tho rates obtained In October, while it established. In addition, u well grounded be lief that dividends wore ol less likely occurrence than financial embarrassments. Under this pressure prices gave way Irotn tour to live per cent, some long stock finding its way to market, while the short Interest was vastly increased. At the middle ol tbe week there was a complete re versal of the speculation, railway shares slipping off to lower figures, wnile the coal stocks were climbing toward hotter ouos. Ouco again the railroad poacowas declared to bo a myth, aud operators on tbe long side found that they were sold, if their stocks were not, producing a situation directly tbe roverse of their In tention, while the short sellers ol tbe anthracite fancies found themselves in an equally bad plight wlion they saw prices rtso under the scarcity ol cash slock and tho turn j of tho screw In tho hands of the shrewd operators who appreciated tho opportunity. With this sec-saw In prices passed the first four days In tlio week, leaving the lost two to drag on at steady quota tions aud without feature, although renewed promises of a cessation in railroad hostilities wero made with mure possibility of truth thao ever. lic.\ ond resting like a uigbtmaro upon the market, tbe political situation both at home and abroad hss bad little or no ellect. It bas stopped tbewbeels of trade, but it bas not thrown the machine out of gear, and low peoplo believo tbat complications will arise of a sufficiently serious nature to produce that result.

Tbo transactions in this deportment bove been at tended with more than ordinary Interest, especially concerning tbo bonds of Ohio and Mississippi and Toledo and Wabash. In both or tbese instances, pnees having reached a very low ebb, they reacted ooe.lent to now influences wblch have been Intro duced Into the situation. Of tbo former It Is said that the road will probably be foreclosed or reorganized under the second mortgage and pass into the bands of the Baltimore and Ohio Company. Tbo flrat mortgage bonds arc alleged to bo abundantly secured. The ad vuuee lu the issues ol Toledo and Wabash was due to the announcement of tbo Stockholders' Committee tlist an amicable adjustment or all differences between tbo shareholders aul the holders of the gold mortgage bonds bad been efi'ected. The sale recently tnude at Toledo has been confirmed by mutual consent, and a new corporation Is to be organized, in wblch the old stockholders hare the privilege of participating. Tbo net income ol' the company for tho year ending June uo, 1876, was $062,056. In this connection the lollow iug letter froin tho President, Mr. J. A. Koosevcil, will be read with interest:?
