THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES
MAKES THE FOLLOWING ANNONCE.
MENT TO THE PUBLIC.

The dissatisfaction which prevails
throughout the community with regard to
onerous conditions contained in life assur-
ance contracts and the judicial decisions
based thereon, together with the public In
dorsement of the liberal usages Of this So
ciety, as shown by its largely increased
business, has led the management seriously
to consider whether the contract could not
be simplitied and certain conditions erased
therefrom which have been the subject of
much criticism and misconception.
After careful examination of the eS-
pcrience of some Of the best companies in
Great Britain, who have shown greater
liberality than has been customary in this
country, this society feels justified in adopt
ing form of contract in which the follow
ing important concessions are made to pol
icy holders throughout the United States
/. Policies will be made incontestable
after three years from their date
., Each ordinary policy will provide for
deiinate surrender-valuc in paid-up assur-
ance, in case the policy is forfeited after
three years from its date.
3. Each Tontinc policy will contain a
definite surrendcr.value in cash, IN case of
Withdrawal at the end of the tontine
period.
a. The contract will be concisely and
clearly expressed, containing only such
provisions as are necessary to protect the
policyholder.
8. The above concessions will hereafter
inure to the benefit of all policies already
issued and in force, after three years from
their dates respectively.

FOREIGN GRAIN +.

Continued Unfavorable Reports of the
Growing Grain-Markets Only Modera-
lively Active With tho Recent Advances
Generally Well Sustained.
LONDON, July 29.-The Mark Lane Er.
press says: The ground is still sodden from
violent storms at the commencement of the
week, but since Tuesday the weather has
been in fine condition. The potato CROP
will almost certainly be disappointing. Even
under favorable circumstances loss may be
expected equal to millions of pounds sterling
The ears of wheat are generally small but
mostly satisfactory and free from blight and
vermin. The state of the ground, however
is evidently unfavorable to maturing of grain
in the south of Holland and north of Eng
land. The harvest is not likely to commence
before September, and there is thus time
during which improved weather may do
much for wheat and something for barley.
In other parts of the country
there is less time for recovery,
and more injury has been
suffered. Oats appear to be in better con-
dition than wheat and barley. The markets
which were active early In the week became
comparatively sluggish with tho finer weather.
The wheat trade has not been seriously at
fected by advices from foreign business
and shipments of American exports for the
United Kingdom are rather heavy. The
quantities of grain now at sea and the supply
OF American here are somewhat reduced.
The imports during July were good, but not
at all above the country's wants. Wheat is
about shilling quarter higher than the
previous week, but with this improvement
the impetus in favor of rise appears to be
e1haused. English white wheat ranges
from so to Sc shillings per quarter, at
large number of country markets, comp AIRED
with As to 80 shillings per quarter
before the improvement commenced.
Samples of red wheat which were vainly
offered at 40 shilllngs per quarter q month
ago, have recently sold at 10 shlilings.
The finest lots of red have not made so
great improvement. Samples which were
quoted at 48 shillings per quarter at the be-
ginning Of July are now quoted at 81 shil-
lings.
Trade in foreign wheat has been fairly
brisk at many markets. The total absence
of excitement caused the advance to be con-
fined within moderate limits. Grinding bar
Icy has been firmly held and slight advance
usually occurred. Oats have been saleable
at about sixpence improvement and inquiry
has been fairly active. There has been
good steady demand tor maize and it gener-
ally improved sixpence on the week.
Imports into the United Kingdom for the
week ending July 10Th: 865,633 hundred
weights wheat and 153, O79 hundred weights
flour. aS~
In Mark Lane to-day (Monday), English
wheat was held for full prices, but inquiry
was inert. Foreign was rather depressed
owing to the large supply of New Zealand
and Australia. Heavy merchants were will
ing to accept shilling per quarter decline.
American red winter held for full prit es
Barley in fair request at six pence to nine
pence advance. Oats, firm. Maize, fairly
active at a shilling per quarter advance.
Trade in flour quiet but prices we'll sup
