One of the largest transactions ever
consummated in Life Insurance in the
United States, and undoubtedly the
largest credited to the state of New
Jersey, was closed last week 10y The
Prudential Insurance Company of
America. 1t was in the shape of an
issuance of $400, 900 of partnership in
surance in favor of four members of
the firm of Hahne q Co., proprietors of
the Newark department store. The
first annual premium of ver $13, 900
has just been paid and the policies have
been delivered. The persons insured
are August Hahne, Richard Hahne,
Albert J. Hahne, and William H. Kell-
ner, each taking a policy of $780, 900
and making the same payable to the
firm SO that in the event of the death
of any one of them, the surviving men,
bers will receive from The Prudential
500, 900 in cash. This plan of partner
ship insurance, according to The Pru-
Dental, is growing more popularamong
business men every day, and this move
ment on the part of Hahne and Com
pany is a striking example of how an
up to date firm can protect vast inter-
ests in the event of their being assailed
by death. Before deciding in what
company the firm would seek the in
surance, the leading Life Insurance
companies Of the United States sub
mitted figures. No policies SO COM
pletely satisfied the Messrs. Hahne and
Kellner as those of The Prudential
which were proven to their satisfaction
to be as safe and certain of payment as
a government bond. The officials of
The Prudential are pointing to the
transaction with pride as it tends more
than anything to demonstrate the faith
with which business men and men of
affairs regard the company.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26--Colonel
William Jennings Bryan of the Third
Nebraska Regiment was unable to
leave Washington today for Jackson
vile.
Il have a touch of malaria, he
said this evening. and my physician
told me today that would have to re-
main here for two or three days,
Colonel Bryan was in bed, where he
passed most Of the day. His face was
flushed with fever, and he remarked
that he guessed he was little tired
out.
Il have been delaying my return to
jacksonville, - he added. for three
or four days in the hope that would
feel better the next day and be able to
undertake the journey.
Colonel Bryan expressed the reluct
ance with which he had admitted his
illness. While he is disposed TO look
upon his illness as trihing. It is not at
all improbable that he will have to re-
main in Washington longer than he has
been calculating to enable the fever to
run its course.

Cotton Depression Causes Combining
to Produce for Four Years.

NEW YORK. Sept. 23.-The Tribune
today publishes d review Of the history
Of cotton for the past fonr years, and
says:
"A price for cotton nearly cent
lower than ever before during Septem-
ber. appears TO threaten lower range
than has yet been reached, at least un-
til prospects for the next year are so
defined that sharp reduction in yield
can be expected. 1t WAS recently
shown that if there was actual con-
sumption of over ten million bales of
American cotton for the first time dur =
ing the last year. it has only been by
so exceeding the demand for goods that
important works in this country have
already stopped in considerable mum
ber
The market for goods, all countries
considered, has not yet warranted such
a consumption in the manufacture, al
though it has expanded with really re-
markable speed. The consuming pop
ulation OF the world increases slowly,
if at all, and yet it is not twenty years
since as much as six million bales of all
kinds OF cotton had ever been consumed
in manufacture in any year. An in
crease from $500 600 to 10. 500, 900
bales in twenty years, over Sc per cent,
vastly outruns any possible increase in

the consuming population. and since
ten years ago, when s, 1874 900 bales Of
all kinds Of cotton were consumed, then
the greatest quantity ever known. the
consumption has advanced 2,749, 600
bales, or "a per cent. Even this country
the most rapidly growing in population
Of all large nations. has not known as
great an increase in population nor is
there evidence that the condition Of the
consuming population Of the world as
whole has so improved as to encourage
materially large purchases Of clothing.
Yet il is true that the actual dis
tributi0n Of goods By sales 10 consumers
has increased, if not as rapidly as pro-
ductiou. much more rapidly than the
consuming population. The surplus Of
goods carried by manufacturers and
dealers has evidently increased, but the
consumption has increased also, and no
one can with safety predict that it may
not increase yet more. No doubt the
cheapness Of goods, helped both by the
reduction in cost Of manufacture and
by low price Of cotton, in part due to
cheap transportation, has made diff
ference in the quantity consumed, and
with another year Of cheap material and
constant improvement in machinery
and methods of work. further increase
in consumption is not improbable. The
main difficulty at this time is that the
accumulated stocks Of goods. and also
the stock Of cotton yet manufactured
are unusually large, with crop com
ing which threatens to exceed the
world consuming capacity, not mere
ly of American, but of all cotton
