They HAVE THE MONEY!

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Commercial
Alliance Life Insurance Company has not
yet complied with the demand of Super
intendent Pierce of the State Insurance
Department, that it make up a deficiency
said to exist in the company's assets.
Controller Holley said today:
"We have the money demanded by the
department, but we are not going to pay
the department just because they say we
must. OF course there remains bur one
OF two things for US to do, either we pay
over this sum or the department comes
here and takes possession" Mr.N Motley said
that other companies were trying to get
the Commercial Alliances business, offering
to buy it. He added that the officers and
directors were meeting all the time and
that some decisive action will possibly be
taken in day or two.

Some of Matthew Marshall's Opinions.
The doubt in regard to the Sugar Refin-
ing Cornpany's dividends, which, like that
in regard TO the tariff bill, had been used
to depress the price of the company's
stock, was ended on Tuesday by the decla-
ration OF the usual 8 per cent. for the quar-
ter on the common stock and 1M per cent.
on the preferred. This result was rather
expected by the majority of operators,
and its announcement bad little On no eff
feet upon the market. On Thursday the
usual dividends on the Milwaukee q st.
Paul stock were declared, and thus an
other subject OF dispute was laid at rest.
AS no changes were expected in the Man
hatten Elevated and the Western
Union Telegraph dividends, their
declaration passed unnotlced The
sensation OF the week was the
drop in Distilling and CATTLE Feeding
stock, which, though currently attriDu-
ted to hostile proceedings by holders of
the company's rebate vouchers, was more
probably due to pure speculative causes.
AT the moment nothing happens to be
in sight upon which to operate either for
fall or for rise. The dividends have
mentioned will not come up again for de-
ba'e until the end of another three
months. The conditions of the wheat
crop, of the Indian corn crop,
and OF the cotton crop are
pretty nearly ascertained: the
new tariff act is having less effect upon
business, either favorable or unfavorable,
than was expected; Congress will not
meet again until the first Monday i'm De-
cember; and in the meantime the treas
ury will be sufficiently well supplied,
both with gold and currency, TO obviate
all necessity of bong issue, and nobody,
therefore, can say that uncertainty as 10
the financial policy OF the Government is
going TO make mischief in the money
market.

Report of the vermont nighwny Come

mission.
This report. which has been sent out
this week, is one of the most valuable and
interesting public documents which has
ever been issued in this state This COM
mission, consisting of George w. Hooker
of Bratteboro, j. w. Votey of Burling-
ton and O. l.. Kinds of Highgate, was
appointed by Gov. Fuller under the act of
1892, which authorized commissioners to
be appointed to examine into the highway
system of the state and make such a report
as they deemed eXpedient. Without attempt
ing an abstract of their work thus sub
mitted, it may be said in a general way
that their report discusses the fundamental
principles of highway construction, the
highway system of Vermont in particular,
the materials suitable for road construc-
ton, the different WAYS of making perma-
nent roads, the beneficial effects of wide
tires for heavy loads. and describes the
work of improvement which has been be-
gun in various places, notably in Buring-
ton, BrattebOro and other of the larger
towns. The report shows that, owing
both to Nermont's physical conformation
and the faulty way in which the highways
were originally laid out, the highway mile
age is very large in proportion to the pop
ulation of the state, and the cost per cap
tia of maintaining the highways is CORE
spOndingly large. In this county of Wind
ham the per capita cost, S1.S6, is the high
est of any county in the state.
The report emphasizes the importance
of using part of the highway money
each year for permanent road improve
ment, and strongly insists that the whole
of the state highway tax should be used
for this purpose and not for ordinary re-
pairs. 1t clearly shows the Importance to
farmers and Others living in thnly settled
districts of building good roads on correct
principles One chapter is devoted to def
mite recommendations with regard to a
policy of permanent improvement that
may be successfully adopted by the state.
There are numerous helpful Illustrations
In describing the several kinds of perma-
nent roads and the way of building them
two illustrations showing the work of
macadamizing in progress in Bratlleboro
accompany the text.
An appendix of over 30 pages accom-
panies this report. In it are given eX-
tracts from the Brattleboro sclectmen's re-
port for 1893, the Vermont highway law
of 1892, abstracts of road laws in other
states, and tables of statistics showing in
detail the amount of money expended by
towns on the highways in each county in
the state in 1898.
This report ought to be generally and
carefully read by the people of Vermont
We suggest that farmers clubs, oranges,
and other similar organizations, could not
do better than to secure copies of it. and
make it subject of reading aud discus
sion at the meetings of the coming winter.
All the conclusions may not be agreed
with, but the study and criticism would be
very helpful in arousing and informing the
public attention.
