poor feature of the show was
the bum clowns. who don't even
serve as an excuse for clowns.

BIG AND CHEERING FIGURES.
rnpFsggIvs starelnens.ss the New Yor

impressive stareinent@ss the New York
 Life Insurance Compaity.
 New York. Dec. S1, 19O3.- The close of 1903 finds many people expectant as to the reports of the large financial in stitutions. It has been assumed, with the changes in valuations of the stock and bond list since July 1. that there would be considerable marking off in values and in the reduction of surplus holdings. The New York Life Insur- ance company is the first of the great corporations to make statement. The applications for new insurance amount ed to $475, 900, OOO The new paid-for business accepted by the company for 1903 is $325 1000. President Mccall states that this last mentioned amount is in excess of the previous year by $23, ,000,000 It shows also a gain of over $190, 100000 in total paid-for insurance outstanding which is stated at one billion seven hundred and forty-five millions in amount covered by S10,0OO policies The income of 1903 is over eighty millions, and Is in excess of the income of 1902 by more than eight millions. The company reports also that it does not invest in or loan upon stocks of any kind. and that no credit is taken in assets for the excess of the present market value of securities over their cost value. which excess is over two million dollars. The total re- sources of the company exceed three hundred and fifty million dollars. It's bond holdings increased in 1903 over thirty millions. The policy reserves, as certified by the state insurance superin- tendent, and surplus reserves, have been increased during the year by more than thirty-five million dollars.
 The various bank and trust company officials predict an easy money market, and the stock and other exchange members appear to be well satisfied that trade stagnation and the doubtful views of business improvement will likewise be cleared away in the early part of the year. The large building and railroad operations held up by strikes and tight money market will, it is be- lieved. be resumed very early in the new year. The government export and import figures would seem to indicate that the total exports will fall few millions below those of 19OO and be about equal to those of 1901 but ma- terially in excess of those of 1902, while the total imports will exceed those of any preceding year and combined with the exports, make the grand total of commerce more than in any preceding year; also that the exports of manufac- lures will exceed those of 1902 by sev- eral millions, but be somewhat below those of the record years 1900, and, per- hans 1901
