European Markets

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
There was weaker tone to the stock
markets today. Americans leading the de-
cline. They opened under the parity. The
Cuban situation is not liked here and 1t is
believed that New York has overdone the
rise for the moment. Gable dispatches
were also printed from New York limiting
curtailment in banking accommoda-
tons. etc.
Prices of Americans rallied when the
New York quotations were first cabled
but the close was fiat at the lowest. Still
there is disposition on the whole to buy
on any material reaction. Mines were dull
The Paris and Berlin markets were dull.
The Evening Standard attributes the
fall In prices on the stock exchange to the
reported action Of the United States in
connection with the Cuban insurrection
PARIS. Sept. 21.-On the stock exchange
here today Spanish fours fell owing to
the belief that the alleged ultimatum sent
by the United States to Spain on the SUBJ
ject of Cuba will cause the present cabinet
to remain in office.

Insurance

insurance
Yesterday was lively day for the fire
insurance companies doing business on the
Pacific coast. The dispatches tell us of
three large conflagrations-one at Auburn,
loss about $4,000 insurance $1,000; another
at Stockton, destroying the Harvester
works at that city, loss 100000 insurance
600; and the third at Pendleton, Ore,
where the roller mills were burned, loss
100000, insurance $4,000. The payment of
such losses absorbs the premiums collect
ed for quite a long time.

Insurance Commissioner Clunie has
drawn down upon himself good deal of
adverse criticism on account of his action
in demanding that under sections IA and
10 of the constitution, insurance compa-
nies organized outside of this state shall
keep record of their stockholders and
all transfers of stock. Mr.. Clunie's con-
tention is that foreign companies are per-
mitted to do business under more favora-
BILE conditions that those prescribed for
home companies. 1t is fact, however,
that no state in the union has law re-
curing foreign companies to keep in the
state record of all stock transfers. Such
law would be extra-territorial and in
valid.
The life offices have their grievance,
and are even more worked up over 1t than
