New York Lilo Insurance Com,aanv.

An old merchant whose business ex-
perlences and observations extend over
period exceeding half century, Is
authority for the assertion that money
made by speculation is nearly iuvari-
ably lost In the same way, and that all
great and lasting commercial success -
have been achieved by steady adher-
encc to legitimate methods and six per
cent. interest" The general policy of
the New York Life Insurance Company
would seem TO nave been fashioned
after some such ultra-conserYative but
prosaic model, for this ancient corpora
ton claims to hold rigidly to accepted
methods and beaten paths. One happy
result Ot this careful policy is observed
In It's exemption from ylcissitudes. The
entire accumulations were, In 1873,
twenty -four millions, and the surplus
less than three and half millions OF
dollars; these tisures are at the end of
seven years, the worst ever known In
the history OF life Insurance, respec-
lively thiTty-nine millions aud seven
millions, and ever since that date TIE
receipts for interest alone have exceed
cd the amount OF death claims. There
were Issued during the past year five
thousand i've hundred and twenty-fOur
policies, insuring something more than
seventeen millions of dollars. This
number and amount could, no doubt,
have been exceeded had the company
been willing C. incur additional eX-
pense. The object seems TO have been
TO keep the amoun; AT risk up TO the
usual mark at $l27 100000, and enable
the company to hold its own until Il
better assurance OF a general business
revival encourageda fun Their expansion,
