SOME GOOD FINANcIERING.
The New Yoik Life's Splendid Investment in
Government Bends.
Especial to News and Observer

New York, Sept 15.-Some high grade
fnanciering he's been done in this city
within recent years, and one of the con-
spicuous cases has been that of the New
York Life insurance Company. 1t will
be remembered that President John A.
Mccall, Of the New York Life. went to
Washington at the time when this country
made it's last governmental loan in jan
uary. 1896. and put in bid on behalf Of
his company for so, 900 900 of the loan.
Fortunately for the policy holders of the
company the bid happened to be at exact
ly the right figure, and the company OBJ
tanned the entire $40 900. 1t is under
stood that the company has sold these
bonds from time to time at an average
profit of fifteen per cent.
At the present time when American
Government bonds are selling on a Two
per cent basis, President Mccall, evident
ly foreseeing that the European Govern
ments would this summer be in about the
same condition financially that the United
States was four or five years ago. has
gone to Europe, and through his negotla-
tions the excheouer loan has already adj
vanced two and one-half per cent. He
has also secured $4,000. 900 of the lSeW
imperial German four per cent. gold loan
which it is understood the company gets
at par All this is considered pretty good
business, and as there are about five num-
dred thousand holders of the company
policies, it is easy to understand their sat
isfaction with this showing. Their posi-
ton is the more interesting because thelf
. company is a purely mutual organization
| in which the policy holders are the only
] ockholders.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 15.-The same fac
tors which caused the break in prices
in yesterday afternoons stock mar
.llet, continued in force today and
more business was done during the
two hours of Saturdays short session
than ON any full day for months. Ii
quotation was plainly in evidence and
the bear operators added their selling
to the burden of the market in the
confidence that lower prices would
enable them to cover at a profit. Inc
declines which they brought in this
way uncovered many stop loss orders
which had been placed in the marker
as precautionary measure by recent
speculative buyers. The points OF
weakness made it evident that the IL
quidation was largely of speculative
accounts. I'm Peoples Gas there is
a large account already and the de-
mand to cover was large enough TO
keen the stock comparatively steady
until near the close. Otherwise the
weakness was quite generally distribut-
ed. The principal railroad stocks are
down from one to one and three quar-
tiers. the Coalers. Changers, Pacifics
and trunk lines being the principal
sufferers. The Steel stocks and the
leading sDecialties show the same
range of losses. These were extended
to from two to three points in Amer
lean Sugar, American Tobacco, Metro
politan Street Railway General Flee
tric. Chicago and Northwestern, Erie
first preferred, and Baltimore and
Ohio preferred. The bear traders COW
cred in some stocks, hut in others the
selling continued in large volume to
the close, which was active and weak.
The decrease in the cash reserves of
S4.954 200 came close to the Drelimi-
nary estimates, showing that National
bank notes have not taken the place
of legal tenders to any extent in the
outward currency movement. The
| loan expansion of $7,022.G00 is largely
due to the operation of the German
| loan subscription and is reminder
that even if no gold goes out in pay
ment of the subscriptions, the de-
mands upon the local money markets
will have the effect of absorbing avail
able credits. Although the surplus
reserves will stand at over $50 ,00O,OO0
compared with merely nominal sur
plus at this time last year, the Sc
quenee of last years events was so I'M
satisfactory that the parallel does not

When its limited express trains were
put on some years ago, the Lake Shore
Railway company decided to charge
extra for the privilege Of riding on
them, and John Newell, who was pres,
ident of the system at that time, gave
orders that passes, half rate tickets,
etc, should not be honored on the "fii-
ers." 1t was not intended, of course,
that the complimentaries issued to high
officials of other roads should be void
on the fast trains, but through an over
sight yearly pass was sent to d. w.
Caldwell, president Of the Nickel Plate,
which bore on its face the words:
"Not good on Lake Shore limited
trains"
A few days after Mr.. Caldwell's pass
had been issued Mr.. Newell received
an annual pass ON the Nickel Plate
with the following Endorsement:
''Not good on passenger trains"
Messrs. Newell and Caldwell remain
ed consistent enemies until the former
died and was succeeded by the latter
as president Of the Lake Sbore.-Chi-

was about to be executed. The latter
therefore presented himself before his
imperial majesty to beg for reprieve.
On seeing him approach, the czar, di-

to come here. l swear l will not grant
what you are going to ask"
Immediately the Jester went down
