The stock markets were quiet and irregular
today. Home rails were chiefly in favor.
In other markets the feature was the sharp
rise in Grand Trunks on good buying and
an excellent working statement Canadian

1t has also been ascertained by Commits

insurance companies, regular as well as
assessment, have obeyed section 450 of the
Civil Code, relating to the insertion in the

It is commonly believed that the sapphire
is known only as a gem of a rich velvety
blue in color AS a matter of fact the sap
phire occurs in various hueS. In Ceylon,
where the finest specimens of this gem are
found, it ranges from the soft, velvety blue
to the peacock blue, graduated In the latter
to an almost faultless white. 1t also occurs
in whites, greens and yellows, the latter
shade being known as the Oriental topaz
and the green the Oriental emerald. The
white sapphires are often found clouded or
streaked with blue, so that many speci-
mems are cut which are white when looked
at transversely. but having bit of fine
blue tint on the under point. Then there
is the red sapphire or Ceylon ruby. 1t is
valued as highly as the finest Burmese
rubies. Those most highly priced are OF
a rich pigeon blood or rose red color.

INSURANCE

A meeting of the Los Angeles Board of
Fire Underwriters has been called for Tues
day next at which time the question of
signing the agreement to accept the re-
duced rate of commission will be con-
sidered. and a vote will be taken to de-
eide whether the local agents will yield to
the demands of the managers. Having seen
what the managers have ben able to per-
form in Stockton and some other out
side places, the agents here will probably
come to the conclusion that the protection
of their businesses respectively from any
such attack as has been made in other
places will be best attained by signing the
agreement in spite of their prior resolu-
ton to the contrary.
At the same time such a compliance is
neither more nor less than an agreement
obtained under duress and will be of just
as much value. 1t will doubtless bind, some
of those who sign, but there are other who
will look upon it as an act of compulsion
AND will feel justified in obtaining what
they deem to be the proper compensation
for their services if there should be any
possible way to do so.

CHICAGO MARKET
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, July 1.-Except that this was
the first delivery for July contracts, wheat
opened under a similar combination of
bearish influences to those of the pre-.
vious day The July deliveries made pre-
vious to the opening of the session were
quite insignificant, a careful estimate
making the quantity of wheat only 80 200
bushels. That for while prevented the
price from yielding to the other and quite
bearsh influences. The latter, however,
could not be for long ignored and began to
exercise their legitimate effect about ten
minutes after the opening. July, which
closed yesterday at 69s, opened today at
from 6S1s to 69A, and half an hour after
ward 1t could be bought for 6SA. Septem-
ber started a shade lower at 641a. sold at
64s4 and then down to 647s. Liverpool
opened ssd lower and reported stocks of
wheat 312,000 bushels larger than June /.
The latter item of statistical information
was rather a surprise, considering the
weekly statements of the great deficiency
Of imports compared with the estimated
requirements. The closing cables made
the days decline in futures at Liverpool

tone of the market improved nevertheless.
The improvement became more marked
when New York reported the Danubian
crop to be 40 per cent under the average.
Good seaboard acceptances of last night s
cabled offered were also reported. The
light trading was almost entirely confined
to September. the weakness of July being
due principally to neglect. 1t improved.

selling down to GA gradually recovered

opening steadily, becoming quite weak
and becoming decidedly strong later.
Liquidation in July oats caused a weak

panies to their failure to comply with the
State laws in several important particu-
lars. The assessment organizations he
finds to be the most derelict. To this class
he has written two letters. In the first he
holds that applications made for life,
health, accident, annuity or endowment
isurnace on the assessment plan and all
policies issued for such insurance must
show that the liabilities of the insured are
not limited to fixed premiums. The COM
panies are notified that Mr. Clunie intends
to enforce compliance with these regula-
tions, and that all future applications, as
well as policies, must contain such state
ment in order that the public may be fully
apprised that they are subject to assess
nent, which is often much greater than the
solicitors represent.
