An the Conditions Favorable to Q Season of
Active Trading.
Watson & Gibson wire as follows to John NJ.
Oakley & Co.:
The shorts are now pretty well covered and
bears are as scarce rs bulls were six weeks ago.
1t is not always easy to explain changes on SEN
timent but last night we gave most Of the
reasons that have apparently operated in mems
minds The new railroad agreement, easy
money and the failure of merchants to fail. are
the prime bullish factors. Those stocks have
gone up the most on which short interest ex-
listed. and those have gone up the least which,
held on margin and have been held right
through these late panics.
Rock Island Is not very attractive stock
above 10 as an investment, because IL is an un-
certain dividend Garner, and it has been IA
vorlte of the bears, which fact, rather than the
merits of the property, accounts for its present
price, through their hurried buying to cover.
30 il is with Union Pacific and Atchison, nom
dividend payers. neither Of which by any anal
ysis of conditions are worth as much as Rich
mond; when speculative fever is on one must
recognize its existence and try to gauge its e1-
ever, that purely speculative movement
sometimes comes to grief, as did that sharp rise
Of from 10 to 10 points in the leading specula-
tive stocks Just after the failure Of Barring
Bros. was averted last November.
Conditions now for a sustained rise are more
favorable than at that time, because the terrors
of January l, then ahead OF the market, have
present in sight to discourage holders except
the actual condition of individual properties
The market at the moment is not in discrim-
mating mood but it will become so. The bank
statement was wholly favorable as expected,
and brokers do not deny any desired accommo-
dations to traders, which fact gives the hackers
of speculative fancies chance to mark them
up The market promises to be good one for
quick traders. We think the market will be .
sale ON Monday for turn.
Sugar Trust to-day continued fts booming
course ami the announcements was made that

and IL the short interest has been run OUT, as 1t
Is fair to assume Is true, Sugar ought to be q
good short sale pretty soon.
There il one factor that doubtless operates In

the effect Of silver purchases, which the many
believe uin lead 70 in1ation and speculAsien.

ASSESSMENT INSURANCE.
Action by the knights Templar and Ma
sonic Aid Association,


The 'old line" insurance people are making
great ado about q step recently taken by the
Knights Templsr and Masonic Aid Association
of Cincinnati 1t employed E. W. Peet who
was formerly actuary of the insurance depart
ment OF Pennsylvania, to make a change In its
system. This association, while it was organ
lied as post mortem assessment association
pure and simple, contains in its plans some
tesIures that differ materially from other COM
panies organized at or near the same time. The
cause for the action is stated, in a circular, to
be as follows:
The largely increased death losses since
January !, 1890, and the necessity of frequent
double assessments . has led the
management to consider measures of relief not
only In the direction of lessenng the per capita
cost but Of recommending for adoption, while
there Is ample time, such measures as may be
adequate 20 overcome whatever there may be
in the plan of organization inimical to its
growth or fatal to its perpetuity."
Mr. Peet recommends a change in the by-
laws OF the association, and the adoption of
schedule OF rates of premiums, rather than of
post mortem assessments. In pursuance of
ms recommendation II is proposed to change
tue knights Iemplar from being a post NOR
rem assessment association to a company
which VIII issue policies renewable annually
at rates OF premium based upon standard
tables of mortality.
