Controller Generals Office, Insurance
Department, Atlanta, Ca, March IS, 1897.
in view of the great number of letters
that 1 am receiving daily from all sections
of the state, inquiring if the Georgia Mu-
tual Fire Insurance companies doing bus
mess in this state have any deposits of
securities with the state treasurer, or any
capital or assets, 1 am convinced that
there is a general misrepresentation on the
part of the people of Georgia as to just
what requirements are imposed by the
state upon this class of fire insurance com
panies.
In order, therefore, that the public may
be officially informed on this point, l de-
sire to state that the class of fire insur-
ance companies engaged in business in
this state known as the Georgia Mutuals,
all of which have but recently been or
ganized under charters granted by the leg
islature to do fire insurance business on
the mutual plan are not required to have
any capital, assets or a deposit with the
policy holders. 1t will thus be seen that
these companies must necessarily depend
entirely upon premiums or assessments
collected from their policy holders or
members for funds with which to pay
losses
These companies, having complied with
the provisions of their charters granted by
the legislature, 1t is made my duty to Ii
cense said companies to do a mutual fire
insurance business in this state, which
have done. WILLIAM A. WRIGHT,
Insurance Commissioner.

BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.

Wall Street.
New York. March 20.-The market for
securities shows a broadening and more
active tendency compared with the con-
ditions noted in these advices of last
week. The movement is freer, and the
undertone more confident The feeling
has been strengthened through consid-
erable amount of stocks being taken out
of the market supposed by a leading rail
road capitalist, which is regarded as a
favorable indication of the prospects of
that class of investment. Another
strengthening influence has been the
treasury report on foreign commerce.
which shows an excess of exports over
imports, for February, amounting to $24,
500, 600
The only thing connected with the for
eign exchanges calculated to suggest any
misgivings is the possibility that the po-
itical complications in Europe may cause
some of our securities TO be sent home
1t is true that American stocks and bonds
have withstood the shocks of those COM
plications in London better than other Sc
curities dealt in there; but London is at
present much more sensitive than New
York, and prices yield less readily here
than there, so that London realizations
on this market are not infrequent. In
this way, we have taken from London
stocks amounting to probably fully ST.
100000 during the past week. A few doses
of that sort, however, is likely to put us
more on the alert.
The special session of congress conveys
the feeling that the new administration
has taken hold of practical legislation
with a will and is in earnest to remedy
| the evil conditions from which the coun-
| try has been so long suffering. There is
something inspiring in the assurances
| thus conveyed that there will be a steady
| end to deficiencies of revenue and to the
| embarrassments of the treasury. The
new tariff legislation, though elicitine
| sharp differences of opinion at the outset
| inspires confidence in mercantile circles
| by the promise that the outcome will be
| a revival of our industries under the poll
| cy that, up to 1893 had made the country
| thriving and prosperous. The result OF
| all this is to dispel the discouraging con-
| sciousness Of being surrounded by abnor-
| NAL conditions and dubious policies, anc
| to produce that feeling of settledness
/ which encourages the steady pursuit Of
| business All this is wholesome and con
| ducive to confidence, and the past week
| has given us a foretaste of the better
| times which it all portends. Wall street
/ is not likely to fail to respond to these
/ new conditions.

was small leak. The digging and refilling
of the trenches had made a dam which
held a few barrels of stagnant water.
There was some alkan in the muddy bot
tom, which, in combination with the oil,
formed sapOnule, a kind of soap. This,
while not being a perfect soap. was suf-
fic.ently saponaceous and cohesive to
make beautiful bubbles when churned by
the escaping gas. The fact that the bub-
bles were full of gas caused them to as
cend more swiftly, and the presence of the
oil made them wore brilliant, many-col-
ored and unusually beautiful. The bubbles
are rising constantly and can be seen by
any one who desires to take a walk out TO
whore they are.
The strength of these bubbles may be
imagined from the fact that small twigs,
leaves, etc, had been floating on the sur
face of the water and were carried up in
the large bubbles.
