periodical financial reports subjected

Albany over the proposed amendments
to the law as it now stands. Strong
interests are arrayed on both sides
and the legislative grafters are look
ing for a profitable season.
Thus far only one or two of the great
life insurance companies have favored
the newspapers with their usual full
page advertisement of financial condi-
ton on the last day of the old year.
Those that have appeared are read
with more than ordinary interest be-
cause of the prevailing idea that the
companies suffered serious impairment
of their assets by reason of the shrink
age in the price of securities during
1903. In one of the reports which was
given to the public there was a note
worthy elimination of unsafe invest
ments shown as compared with the re-
port printed year ago. 1t was OBJ
served, however, that in one case of
apparent elimination the company left
the asset in it's list, but changed the
name. A year ago the item was 49,
ZOO 900 of the bonds of the International
Mercantile Marine Company" This
year the item appears under the de-
scription, international Navigation
bond syndicate The amount is the
same and the bonds go down in the
list as having full par value. Bonds
just like these are offered in the
open market at 20, with no re-
corded bids lately above 30. The re-
ports of the insurance companies looks
much better as they now stand than
would have been the case If the reports
had been made on the basis of quota
tons prevailing sixty days ago. There
is a theory that the life insurance
companies were an i'm portant factor
in the advance in the stock and bond
market which took place toward the
end of the year.
One of the disappointments of the
new year is the non-appearance of the
expected reinvestment demand for Sc
curities. By that term is meant the
money paid to holders of stocks and
bonds in the form of interest and div
blends and reinvested Immediately in
new securities. This year the fortu
nate holders of income bearing paper
are leaving their newly received remit
tances in the banks. They are in no
hurry to put out their surplus where
it will be earning something. They are
apparently content with 2, 21A and 3
per cent. which the banks and trust
companies pay on deposits. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the owners of
money will loosen up soon and ap-
pear in the market on an extensive
scale. This opinion is held very gen
orally in banning and bond circles,
which accounts in the main for the
confidence shown in putting out new
! issues.
One of the planks in the bull plat
| form is the great increase in popula-
! ton going on. This increase now APP
proaches 100000 year. of which APP
| proximately 100000 is due to immigra-
| ton. The natural growth or the home
population is at least as much more.
This splendid enlargement in the popu-
lation Of the republic is all to the
good in a material way, which means
more production of wealth and more
consumption of products. II means
more business for railroads, for man.
ufacturers, for storekeepers and for
farmers. The South and Southwest

Then follows the Pope's signature.
Father Obrecht is a man of most love-
ly character, and no one can enjoy, as
/ have done, his charming hospitality
and not admire him. During his abb
sence in Europe the young and tai
ented prior of the abbey, the Very Rev.
Frederick M. Dunno, brother of Mrs.
Katie Dunno Miles of Savannah, was
acting abbot, an honor never before
bestowed upon so young priest, and
yet it was most worthily bestowed
I'm his case.
Various newspapers have errors In
their notices of the death of Lieut..
Gen. James Longstreet, c. S. A. Some
call him general" others, James b.,
and vet he had no middle name but
a leading daily in his native state says
he was the last lieutenant general ex-
cept Gordon; and yet Mrs. Longstreet
tells us Gordon was only major gem
eral. % Longstreet was the ranking
lieutenant general, commissioned Oct.
g. 1862 but with his great military rep
utation, he never succeeded in becom-
ing a full general" as did Hood ana
