the premiums and who were thus obliged
to abandon them. Now all Of the old
line insurance companies are obliged by
law to give certain return to the in
sured, If he abandons his policy after the
expiration of two or three years. Some
companies have gone to the other ex-
treme, and have offered liberal returns
to those who surrender their policies.
others issue what are called "tontine
policies" that promise the entire reserve
and accumulated profits to all who keep
their policies in force to the end Of a GER
tain period-say ten, fifteen or twenty
years. Insurance agents have way of
figuring up what they think one ought
to receive for his policy on it's surrender,
but no agent will ever make an absolute
written agreement as to the surrender
value of policy beyond an amount
guaranteed by the company. This
guarantee Is always a moderate one
much less than what the agents CAL
culate 1t should be-
Fortunately, the law steps in to regu-
late some of these matters, and under
its compulsion even an insurance agent
Is obliged to tell the truth or take the
consequences. If a person desires to
invest his money in life insurance pol

ten, fifteen or twenty years, shall return
to him all that he has paid in life for in
surance, with interest added to the same
he must expect to pay higher price than
he would if he simply paid for policy
that guarantees certain death pay
ment. The cash surrender value, there
fore, means a value which the policy has
not only at the death of the person, bu,
at any time when he may choose to give
up his policy and ask the company to
make him some return of the cash which
he has paid in for his annual premiums

Merry Letter Carriers

The life of the local letter carrier prom
ises to be more various than joyful dur
ing the next ten days. Christmas per-
plexities are beginning early this year
by the arrival of a special edition Of the
San Francisco Call. Fifty odd thousand
papers addressed to John Jones and
fifty odd thousand other names, and
with no more definite location than Los
Angeles, is sufficient to set the heart of
the average letter carrier into a ffutter
of happy anticipation, to say nothing Of
the feelings of the clerks at the post
office. By the time the addresses are
hunted up and the Calls delivered, there
will be the Santa Claus packages. and
so 1t goes.

The opening decline was probably due to
heavy receipts at Chicago, much of which

Chicago received 518 cars, of which 217

1888 carloads were transferred to regular
elevators. An addition of about 5ll,OOO
bushels was made to the contract stocks
The total quantity shipped from all quar-
ters to Europe and the United Kingdom
last week was 6,756,OO0 bushels. against
9,166 900 bushels the week before. The days
clearances of wheat and flour from At
lautic ports were 500. 900 bushels. 1t was
not until after the visible supply state
ment for the week was completed and the
increase in the stocks found to be smaller
than expected, that the market gave any
very clear indication as to which side of
the deal It would ultimately favor. With
that out of the way, and the weeks In
crease emily S21 900 bushels, as against a
1.O00. 900 or 100000 bushel increase looked
for, the bull feeling began to predominate
and the price soon responded.
The total of the days clearances from
the seaboard was Increased to Ill, 900 BUSH
els by shipments from Galveston. That
gave further courage to buyers, who took
more wheat at an advarice Of one cent
over the earlier price they paid for May.

announcement of the days clearances gave
fresh impetus to the advance, ami at the

Efforts to reduce the rate Of interest
pafd-by New York city banks on deposits

TO be fruitless. While the presidents of
the various banks in the city having
such deposits are agreed that the rate
should be reduced, it seems impossible
to get majority to act in concert. This
