EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES
MAY MAKE HIGH RECORD
Statistics for Eight Months OF
Year Indicate New Mark
Will &c Set.
FALLING OFF IN COTTON

Special TO the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 21.-Exports of
manufactures from the United States seem
likely to make their highest record in the
fiscal year which ends with the month of
June, 1904. In the eight months ending
with February, for which the Department
of Commerce and Tabor, through its Bu-
reau of Statistics. announces the figures of
exports Of manufactures. the total is
S2o,0O,OD larger than in the corresponding
eight months Of the fiscal year 1860, which
was the record year in exports of manufac-
lures. For the eight months ending with
FEBRUARY, 1904, the total expectation of
manufactures d was s2ss 4oo.s2i. against $685.
53l .yl2 IN the corresponding months of 1900
While conditions in the far East are
causing considerable diminution in the
exports OF cotton manufactures from the
United states. practically all of the other
important exports show a marked increase,
ana IL seems not improbable that the grand
total for the year will exceed that of the
banner year 1900. and certainly that the
total for 1904 will compare favorably with
that greatest year in our exports of manu-
year An analysis of the details of exports
Just made by the Department of Commerce
and Labor. through its Bureau of Statis-
ties, shows an increase in nearly all of
the important articles other than cotton
years.

OF nearly S2.OOO,000 for the single month OF
February and of about 5000 900 for the

OLD FAKE SCHEME IS
AGAIN WORKED HERE
"Tailor-Made Suits Figure in
Swindle That Catches Indian
apolis Women.

A wonderful bargain. with the magic
words 'tailormade'' the bait, has been
successfully offered TO several Indianapolis
women by a man giving the name of j. c.
Boyd. The police are now looking for Boyd
owing to numerous complaints. The man
has for the past few days worked in the
outlying districts. Representing himself as
taking subscriptions to the Delineator and
the Ladies' Home Journal, he offers as an
inducement TO subscribers a fine line of
dress skirts and tailor-made suits at Won
derful prices. A small sum of money was
required TO bind the bargain, and after sign
ing a receipt the man would bow himself
away, to be seen no more 1t is old
game, but it worked.

The firemen notified the police, and Cap

Fire insurance men are congratuIating
themselves that matters at Evansville are
working out to the best interest of all con-
cerned. There now appears to be a spirit
of understanding established between in
surance interests and property owners
which will make it possible to secure the
improvements in fire protection which are
necessary TO bring that city up to a safe
standard. The citizens have assured the
insurance companies representatives that
they propose 10 put the city in good shape
from insurance standpoint, and bending
the fulfllment of this promise the insurance
men have agreed TO make no rate advance.
An expert engineer will soon visit Evans
vile and determine what is needed. The
agents In Evansville are especially pleased
at the peaceable outcome of what appeared
to them week ago as an almost inevitable
rate war.
A number of state insurance officials are
using their influence to have assessment
life insurance companies debarred from
the States which they represent. Insur-
ance Commissioner Hendricks. of New
York. in his last annual report states that
this system of insurance is fundamentally
unsound, being without the aid of the senti-
ment which animates the fraternal orders
and that in the opinion of the department
the days of assessmentism are numbered. "
Insurance Commissioner Dearth, in his an.
nual report. which has just been issued
says: The mere fact that there but
nine companies left in the State of 1S(
licensed in past years is of itself SUI
fcient argument that the business of life
insurance can not be successfully conducted
upon the assessment plan unless assess
ment rates based on some legally-es-
tablished mortality table"

gives some facts concerning the uncertain
~ with which the business of fire insurance
is attended. Comparatively few of the
many fire insurance companies organized
reach their fiftieth anniversary. The Year
Book for 1908 gives list of 1878 companies
organized in the United States prior TO that
year and of these LAS have failed or re-
tired. leaving go companies surviving. OF
these 1.6IS companies organized in the
United States since the beginning of under
writing in this country. only fifty-nine

1nes are New IN n ts
are being organized every year, many OF
them never get beyond the fifth year. and
until that time they can hardly be said to
have established their averages, and their
future success remains matter of ques-
ton.
Insurance companies are continually con-
fronted with new problems for which they
have no precedent to assist in the solution.
They have especial reason TO know that the
present is age of the rapid adoption of
new inventions and new ideas. A recent
loss in the plant of the Talking Machine
Company in Chicago presents an adjust
ment problem with new features. This con-
Germ handles the records of two phono-
graph companies Accompanying each rec
ord Is contract in which the selling
for less than the full schedule price, on
penalty of FORGETTING their contracts. The
talking machine company has filed claims
for a total loss. The adjusters contend that
many of the records are as good as new,
and few are damaged to any great extent.
They hold they can dispose of them for a
fair price, but the concern refuses to turn
them over for less than the full price. The
insurance companies may make an issue
of the point, they hold that there is not
total loss and they do not care to estab-
lish a precedent in this case which may
have important bearing on many such
cases in the future.
