Cattle-The cattle market to-day. especially so
far the steers concerned, was Irregular,
because Il is rarely that there is much difference
between The. opinions OF statesmen as there was
to-day Several, I'm fact probably a majority of
the dealers. were inclined TO quote the market
about steady compared with yesterday. but a
number believed they were forced to accept a
trihe lower prices especially for the steers that
were not well up TO the standard in quality and
finish. There were also isolated cases In which
q shade higher prices were realized than were
offered for the cattle yesterday. There
fore IL would be very difficult. indeed. TO make a
report that would be satisfactory to all A re-
view of the representative sales indicate that the
market was in much the same condition as yes
terday. but. 3n sympathy with the situation else
where. IL would not be unjust to -sav that the
tendency in affairs is weaker. At least IL is
evident that buyers are more particular in max
ing their selections. This makes the market less
satisfactory to the selling side. There also
q very quiet market for stoCkers and feeding cat
tie to-day and there very little country de-

with professional buyers. The market for female
butcher cattle was reported steady by all deal

compared with yesterday. Sales of bulls do not
indicate that there any change in this de-

c., H. & ID. Improvement Mt Toledo.


The statement is made by the Toledo
Blade that the Cincinnati, Hamilton x
Dayton has completed arrangements for
the erection of a new passenger depot at
Toledo in the vicinity. of the old Burnett
House. The c., H. & d. long since rec
ognized the necessity of having depot of
its own at Toledo and has coveted as the
site the ground where the Burnett House
stands and its immediate vicinity. To-
ward this end work was begun some time
ago and private property gradually
absorbed. The last deal was closed this
week, by which the c., II. & ID. secured
control of all the desirable property back
of the Burnett House. Work is expected
to begin on this new project this sum-
mer. Plans for the building and tunnel
are being made in Cincinnati. Under pres
Dent arrangements the c.. II. & ID. enters
Toledo over the Lake Shore through the
Union Depot. The c., II. & ID. has no line
10 Detroit, traffic arrangements being made
through the Michigan Central 1t is un-
der stood that these traffic arrangements
Will be continued for a Detroit outlet but
that traffic arrangements will be made with
the Pennsylvania. which controls the line
along the river front, whereby c., III. & u.
passenger trains can be delivered to the
Terminal Belt north of the city and thence
run out over the Michigan Central to
Detroit. This would be much more prac-
teal route than the circuitous line by which
the C.. III. * ID. connects with the Michigan
Central under present arrangements.

AS to fire losses for February, the Jour
nal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin
says Fire loss in the United States and
Canada for February, as compiled by our
carefully kept records, aggregated the ex-
traordinary sum of s9o,O51, ,eOO The follow
ing table gives comparison of losses for
the first two months of the year for the
same period in 1902 and 1903:

Totals 800 s2s PSI, $50 SIN Sal, 200

"A startlingly large amount is chargeable
against February, due to the Baltimore con-
fagration, which was swelled by the loss in
Rochester. The Baltimore fire was a ter
rife blow to the fire insurance companies,
bankrupting crushing out most of the
Baltimore institutions and forcing number
of companies i'm other States TO retire from
business. The fire insurance companies as
a whole, however, make strikingly credit
able showing. Their lines, In accordance
with their financial strength and loss ad-
justments are being promptly and literally
made That the demonstrations will not be
lost upon the political demagogues in vari-
Gus States, who make insurance more costly
by passing legislation hostile to insurance
interests, is much to be hoped. Fire insur-
ance will be cheaper If buyers of it make
determined fight against the harassing and
blackmailng operations of legislators and
lower grade insurance commissioners
Every tax of a burdensome requirement
laid upon an insurance company makes the
furnishing of an indemnity more expensive
and increases the cost to policy holders.
Abolishing extravagantly administered and
worthless state insurance departments in
the West would make insurance cheaper,
besides preventing many scandals due to
crookedness of state insurance officials

ed by one of the Chicago breed was un-
earthed the other day An advertisement
appeared in the papers asking that owners
of unproductive real estate worth SloO,VO
who wanted to do something with II 10
communicate with the address given In,
vestigation discovered that ii was inserted
by concern which wanted 10 start wild
cat insurance company with West Nlr-
ginia charter to operate from Chicago. In
stead of following the usual plan of imag-
ming itself possessed of lot. OF assets
and making no Dretense of having them,
IL wanted TO make showing in order TO
get a favorable report from commercial
agencies. It's proposition was that the own
er of the real estate should mortgage it for
100000, and turn over the mortgages TO
the insurance company TO be used as
basis for assets. After a favorable report
had been secured from the commercial
agencies the mortgage was TO be returned
10 the owner of the real estate, and he was
TO be relieved from all further liability.
One imagine the probability of secur-
ing payment for fire loss from a concern
that would undertake such devious meth
ods to establish mythical assets.
There are many reforms being inaugu-
rated in the methods of securing business
on the part of some of the larger life in
surance companies. One of the latest of
evil practices to fall under the ban is that
of so-called flyer insurance. The business
getting methods of some companies gave
rise to a habit on the part of some
who carried large policies to go about each
year looking for bargains Life insurance
should not cost one person more than it
does another, but competition became so
fierce that a number of the companies
sought these large policies by offering to
write them at absurdly low rates. Rivalry
year by year grew bitter that at times
man was able to obtain his insurance for a
year almost a gift. 1t is readily seen
that such practice must prove disastrous
who availed themselves of the flyer priv
ileges were shrewd business men, and they
usually made sure that they could pass a
medical examination before they gave up
their policy in one company TO take bar
gain in another. Naturally, when they
found that their health was impaired and
that they could no longer satisfy the med
they would give up the flyer practice and
stick to the company in which they hap
pened to hold policy at the time. This
suited in what is known to life insurance
men as a bad selection. The companies that
sold flyer insurance in their greed for
volume found that they were loading up
with a lot of undesirable business and in
recent years they have been called upon to
pay out large sums on just this class OF
business. They begin to realize that il is
time TO discourage the practice, and it is
quite fitting that the cali for halt comes
sponsible for the establishment of flyers"
