OFFICE OF THE HERALD,
LOS ANGELES. November 9, 1903.


The life insurance companies will make n
good showing this year, notwithstanding the
war and general depression in business.
While it is too early, says the New York
Eevcning Post, to give figures, it seems GER
tain that many OF the large companies will
show decided gains over last years returns
The war helped many of the companies and
caused volunteers everywhere to seek pro-
lection which they would not have other
wise taken. Such business will run into the
millions and prove very profitable, unless
present calculations are upset by future
mortality among veterans as class. Had
the camps been in good sanitary condition
and service in this country not unnecessarily
hazardous, the results might have been much
better. But, as it is, the companies report
few losses, and expect to keep the "war
business" on their books for years to come.
The experience has been so favorable that
the officers of one company have been con-
sidering the advisabilty of waving the war
clause in future policies during times of
peace. This would be an important step,
and although not yet decided upon, some in
teresting changes will probably be an
nounced.
The New York companies are well repre-
sented in Hawaii and will probably push
their business in that territory next year as
never before. The Manhattan Life Insur-
nnce company was the first to establish an
office in Honolulu. That was done in 1866,
when it took month to reach the islands
by sailing vessels. The Mutual Life began
business thirty years ago, the New York
Life in 1878, and the Equitable few years
later. The Germania Life opened it's Ha-
waiian agency in 1896, and the Provident
Savings Life a year ago. The companies re-
fuse natives and half-breeds, insuring for
eigners only. That restricts their field
somew What, but the results thus far reported
have been satisfactory, and the mortality
not in excess of that experienced elsewhere.
Indeed, several of the companies, it is said,
reduced their rates not long ago, having
found that tropical premiums" were un-
necessarily high for that territory. The pre-
sent rates are about the same as those
charged in California. One of the smaller
companies derives already about $4,000 an
nually in premiums from its Hawaiian bust
ness.
A Toronto dispatch says that the insur-
ance companies doing life business in Can
nda have agreed hereafter not to accept
risks on the lives of married women unless
they happen to be the breadwinners of the
family, OF, in other words, independent of
their husbands. The decision has been ar
rived at with view to lessening the crime
of murder for insurance, several cases of
which have been reported within the last
two years.

ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.--The market was
very active and decidedly irregular during
the morning session on the stock exchange
and at one time the list took on quite uni
form evidences of strength and even buoy
ancy. But by 1880 o'clock the demand for
securities seemed satisfied and the market
tionary tendency which hoisted the cloud.
London, in spite of dullness and heaviness
of the. general market, had confidently
marked up PRICES. of Americans yesterday
was not in session. The British interpre-
tation of the American elections, always
more or less obscure and confused, proba-
bly, prompted them to do this. The open
ing here did not fully respond, prices show
ing below the London parity. The inter-
national arbitrage brokers seized this op-
portunity to cover sales made at higher
level in London. A number of the inter-
nationals. sagged quite sharply immediate
ly after the opening, notably st. Paul, New
York Central and the Pacifics, but the buy
ing factor in rallying these stocks and
carrying the whole market to higher
level. Even Sugar, which opened down a
point, scored a full recovery.
The commission houses are busy with
buying and selling orders, and large OPP
orators actively bid up their favorites. With
the cessation of the London buying, about
which had proved heavy load to carry ali
morning, prices began to drop off, the de-
cline in the railroads ranging all the way
from IraCtlOn TO l12 per cent. In the
market leaders among the railroads. how
ever. there was little effect produced either
by the above factors or by the late weak
ness in Manhattan, which fell 2ss. Sugar
continued It's downward course to the ex-
tent of 81 points and closed near the low
est. The announcement of the cut in the
product and the output of new refineries
coming to the market was the cause for
weakness, and the bears were also active,
judging from the high loaning rate of the
stock. The weakness of Manhattan was
associated with the stockholders annual
meeting, although the yearly statement OF
earnings showed 4.18 per cent earned for
the stock, and was better than Wall street
expected. In the railroad list, however,
the closing was generally steady and at
net gains which reached point in most
cases.
The bond market continued active and
strong. A number Of the speculative bonds
were active and strong. Total sales. $5,-

Yesterday there arrived here,
some ten or a dozen Choctaw In
dians, who came unheralded for
the purpose of playing a ball game.
We learned by diligent inquiry that
that the game would be played at
the fair grounds, some three miles
out and that it would take a dollar
to pay railroad fare and gate fees
to see the game. This did not
bother US any more than it did the
fellow whom we asked if he was
going and receiving the reply,
"that he had'no dollar, did not
care for a ball game and had no
inclination to go anyway. We
shook him by the hand, as he filled
our measure exactly as to the ball
game. 1t must have been an enter
prising individual who pulled this
game off here, to go te the expense
