THE NEWS AND OBSERVER SATURDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 1892

nois was pushed up over . points above
par, but relapsed nearly 3 points. The
movement of the Specialties IN the first
hour was a good deal mixed. Consoli-
dated Gas and Tennessee Coal shoot
ing up 2 points. but the Tobacco stocks,
brooklyn Rapid Transit and Americas
Sugar were heavy in tone.
Shortly after noon there was a rise OF
8 points in Omaha, 33s in Northwestern
and nearly 2 points i'm New York Cen
trail. A number of other Vanderbilts
sympathized to the extent of a point and
the Union Pacific stocks were bid up a
point. giving color to a rumor that the
much talked of Trans-C Continental con-
solidation was about to be perfected.
The very heavy blocks of Union Pa
ciiic stocks coming ont on the rise and
the detection by the bears of selling for
long account brought a determined raid
and a realizing movement all along thc
line. The gains which had been extend
ed in some cases to near point were
quickly wiped out and the general level
of the market fell below last night,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit dropping ?
points. General Pacific lost 11a. The
market was very hstless during the last
hour and closed generally easy at m
average decline. London sent higher
prices and bought here to moderate eX-
tent. but this support was without avail
to sustain the market. The fear OF an
rnfavoraIle bank statement was Il heavy
weight on the market. The New York
clearing banks have lost heavily during
the week, both on the interior movement
and to the Sub-Treasury Shipments
ON balance to the interior to the extent
of nearly So, 600. 900 can be traced. The
statements of the Sub-ITeaSury during
the week show that institution TO have
absorbed ON account of internal revenue
and customs payments and deposits for
shipment to the interior something ike
S3,S00,00O after all owing for payment
of SI00,O0O ON account of drafts on the
San Francisco mint. Some allowance is
to be made for receipts in gold at assay
offices which are credited to the banks,
but there is apparent loss of cash of ncaG
ly S5000,000.
There was not much doing in the bond
market today, but prices were relatively
more firmly held than i'm stocks Total
sales (par valuc) 81 ,5S0,000.
United States Government bonds M
changed ON bid quotations.
The total sales of stocks were AL, 300
shares, including: Atchison preferred,

The Aetna Life'S Fifteen payment
Life and Endowment Policy in
Competition.

These policies issued by the Aetna
( enables its agents to offer strong
inducements to prospective insur-
ants in competition with those of I,
! other companies. Taking the aver /
age rate of ten leading companies
at an age OF twenty-five on the
twenty payment life plan, we find
that the premiums average S92.63
for a $4,000 policy, or S5,9o2.60 Z
for the twenty years. The Act
! mas fifteen-payment life, at the [
} same age, costs S29I.20, or S4,45S
for the fifteen years, the difference
in the premium for full term being
} ST, 1880, equal to dividend of
80 per cent. ON the annual pre-
miums for the whole premium pc
riod after the first two years. The
comparison corresponds with this ;
I for other ages. The simple pre- {
sentation of this comparison ought
to be a convincing argument when
clearly made. especially In view of
the fact that paid-up policies are
more favorable to the assured of
the fifteen-year than ON the TWEEN
tyyear plan. The large dividend
I paid by some of the companies
has long been one of the strongest
} claims made by them. Adividend
} of 80 per cent. deducted at the
beginning of the year has so much
to be said in its favor that the
Aetna seems clearly to be giving
points to its competitors. ,
Mr.. J. ID. Boushall, general agent,
Raleigh, N. c., can give further in
formation.

COTTON.
New York, September 1.-The specu-
lative movement in cotton futures was
not SO active today, yet a very comf0r-
table business was transacted ii a
higher range of prices. The market
opened quiet with prices 2 to points
higher on buying, chiefly by shorts, FOL-
lowing the Liverpool cables which were
better than expected. There was a
further Improvement soon after tie call
when selling set in owing To rumors of
good rains in Central Texas, while re-
ceipts at the ports Were :.lSo Jcar.sh
factors. Liquidation became a promi-
nent feature, but the shorts We're in
clined to take profits. and after most
of the early Improvement had been lost
there was a renewed upward movement
on continued covering with the trading
level at noon 2 to 3 points higher than
the closing figures of the previous day,
with some evidence of renewed outside
buying. Trading was generally how
ever, confined to local operations, with
a more or less disposition to even up
in anticipation of Mondays holiday. In
the afternoon the market was decidedly
firm on persistent covering by room
shorts, and exceptionally light offer
ings. The close was steady at a net
gain Of to points.
