" American merchants and manufac-
turers did nearly two hundred million
dollars more business with foreign
markets last year than ever before.
The total foreign commerce, imports
and exports, for the year ending June
30 was more than two billion six hun
dred million dollars, and of this
amount exports represented more
than a billion and half dollars. The
excess of exports over imports was
about four hundred million dollars.
The real balance of trade" Is much
less than the difference between the
value of exports and imports, for great
sums must be subtracted for ocean
fEeights paid to foreigners, and also
the many millions spent by American
travellers in other countries. Neverthe-
less, the real balance Is large. and 1t
Is that which induces foreign govern
ments to offer their bonds for sale in

Colonel Jacob L. Greene, Of Hart
ford, Conn, who died a short time
ago, left an estate which now proves
to amount to little more than $4,000.
For twenty-seyeR years Colonel
Greene had been president Of one Of
the large insurance companies Of the
country. His salary, it Is understood,
had for many years been $25,000 q
year. He spent most of 1t, was con-
tent with it, and died honored and re-
spected. One can imagine how the
Hydes and Alexanders would have
portunities" had he died before the ex-
posures of the last year had driven
them into shamed concealment. Col
onel Greene, 1t would appear, had no
disposition to get safety deposit leases
from the company for his private
benefit. Apparently he never manipu-
lated stock issues Of subsidiary trust
companies, nor got syndicate rake
OFFS on bond purchases. He seems to
have worked for his pay like any hon
est man. The result, as far as his
company Is concerned, appears on the
surface of the reports as to its condi-
ton. In one of the tables recently pre-
pared In connection with a study of
American life insurance. companies 1t
was shown that this particular COM
pany had repaid to its policy holders
or accumulated in reserve for them
benefits amounting to 128.73 per cent
for every dollar they had paid in, as
against an average for twenty-five
leading companies of only 106.O2 per
cent. 1t Is true the company Is not
known as especially liberal to Its poll
cy holders, but 1t is better than that
1t lives up scrupulously both to the
letter and the spirit Of the contract II
makes with them. Unfortunately no
legislation can make it certain that
men Of Colonel Greene's type will be
placed at the head Of all insurance
companies. But laws and law enforce

careers ali men of the opposite type,
