"Jen'' Levy has returned to Wall street after an absence of two months MT. Levy spent most of his time in London and Is reputed to have made large fortunes in speculation in South African stocks. Through some strange oversight MT. Levy neglected to buy New York real estate during his passage from Liverpool to this city. This singular failure to perform is explained by the statement that the wireless got grounded in mid ocean, thereby interrupting communica- tion MT. Levy comes back tremendous bull as usual. He found London on fire with enthusiasm for Ameriean> securl- ties, especially Anaconda, Canadian Pacl- hc, Pacific Coast and Soo. Since r. AuS gustus Heinze appropriated to himself MT. Levys plan of campaign in United Copper the distinguished New York spec ulator has lost interest in that particular stock By the way if Heinzes had gone through with his arrangement with MT. Levy he would still be in possession of United Copper and big factor in the copper situation. Besides that he would have had more money. MT. Heinze is not as handsome as he was ninety days ago but he knows more.

Great improvements planned.

Railroad and industrial corporations are requiring vast sums for extensions. ex- pansion and addition to plant and equip ment. The two great eastern trunk line systems, New York Central and Penn sylvania, have improvements under way which will cost more an s400, oNh.000, and when this money is spent there will doubtless be need for additional sums. It Is an era of money spending and recon struction in the whole railroad world This work began or 6 years ago and is not half finished. It would seem that there would have to be an end to the enormous expenditures sometime, but the outlay of every dollar merely emphasizes the necessity of putting other dollars after it. In this case it is not throwing good money after bad, but finding useful en- ployment for more good money. Fortu- nately stocks of money are increasing rapidly. Were it not so there would be back-set in our prosperity. There Is being produced in this country every day nearly $iOO,0OO in new gold and the records in Washington show that the increase in paper money Is increasing at about the same rate. 1nus we are being provided with something like 800 000,000 a year in additional money with which to do the business of the country, and this in turn serves as a basis for credit expansion at the rate of at least to 1.

CIRCULAR LETTER BEING MAILED
To Raise Funds for Equestrian Monu-

1The secretary of the Joe Wheeler Eques- trian Monument association is mailing copies of the following circular letter to all the Confederate campas throughout the country:
 The above styled association was or ganized March 3, 1906, under the auspices of Campt W. J. Hardee No. 39, U. c. V.
 It has now become incorporated under the laws of Alabama and the purpose of this association is to erect an equestrian monument in commemoration of one of the greatest cavalry leaders the world ever saw. His fone as such has been rarely equaled but never excelled. He was a unique soldier, he won his greatest fame in fighting against the stars and stripes. he crowned his life as a soldier fighting under the stars and stripes.
 He was as great statesman as he was a soldier. He was patriotic and sublime in his love for his country.
 This association has undertaken this stupendous work, and appeals to the whole country for it's aid in carrying out

GREAT OUTLAWS UNDER WAY
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, April 14.-(speeial )-Wall street worked itself into quite an excite ment over threatened scarcity of spec ulative and gambling funds. Prices suf- fered somewhat in consequence, but ev- erybody felt that the depression was more or less artificial and only temporary. The spring is starting in splendidly and the outlook is for healthy activity in every direction. The country is chuck full of money and the people are bub- bling over with energy and ambition. That is seen in every walk of life in every department of industry. It is especially true of the agricultural com In the warmer zones planting is already under way and in the more northerly regions preparations are mak- ing for the cultivation of as large areas as in any previous year. The winter. wheat outlook is excellent and although there is disappointment in the south be- cause cotton prices were not high on last year's crop planters realize that there is a fair profit even at 10 cents. They have no expectation that the price will go anywhere near that low for a long time to come, yet they would have no fear of poverty if it did. In manu- featuring and mercantile lines there is every prospect of a good years business and railroads throughout the length and breadth of the country continue to make record earnings.

 A level premium is premium which is the same at every payment; that is, which becomes no greater as the policy holder grows older.
 The reserve is the excess amount charged in the early years of level pre- mium policies to offset the failure to increase the premium during the later years. The reserve is invested by the company and the proceeds from 1t make up the deficiencies in the later premium payments.
 The annual surplus is the excess amount paid in by policy holders above the sum paid out in death claims and in expenses of management plus the interest earned by the reserve above the percentage of the requirement.
 Dividends are the portion of the sur plus divided among the policyholders
 Deferred dividends are dividends that are not distributed among the policyholders annually, but are held by the company and paid to the policy holders at longer periods, usually twenty years.
 A surrender is the act of a policy holder in giving up his policy for consideration from the company
 The surrender value, or cash sur render value, of policy, is the amount the company agrees to pay if the policyholder surrenders his policy. This is less than the sum he has paid in premiums.

hard on spectators in stock and com modities The burden also lalls griev- ously upon actual owners of products for in the end they have to pay the freight and the carrying charges. Those who buy stocks on margins are really entitled to scant sympathy. They do not have to speculate and when they get pinched the mass of the people are alsposed to smile at their antics. It matters little to the average citizen whether the tape player has to pay per cent or 50 per cent for money with which to operate. If he doesn't like 1t he can keep out and invest his money in something else. It is when money becomes scarce for legitimate purposes that real ineonve- nience is felt. It so happens that at the present time that there is an active de- mand for money everywhere In the west ern hemisphere. This demand has re- suited in marking up of rates and the outlook Is for sustained firm money throughout the entire year This Is an indication of healthful business activity and if the disposition to over play can be held in restraint there will be no oc- casion for uneasness or alarm.

Success of Banking Firm.

The head of a large private banking house made the amazing statement to the writer day or two ago that Kuhn, Loeb & Go. has made $500 000.000 In the last ten years He went into some de- tails as to how it was done and made a convincing showing The biggest profit was in connection with the financing and promotion of Union Pacific. this firm having been the principal financial back CT of the Hartman system from the beginning of its organization. and the lifting of Union Pacific from govern mental control. Kuhn. Loeb X Go. have had a share in more big railroad deals than any other banking house in Amer ica with the exception of J. P. Morgan X Co. Jacob Schiff the head of Kuhn. Loeb Co.,, Is said to have a personal fortune of more than SlO0.0OO. 900 Four years ago a junior member of the house died, leaving an estate of S20,OOo,000. Very few ever knew the magnitude of the fortune so left.

The Finest Mixed Drink.

From the New York Press.
 The best mixed drink I ever had was the Fish House punch, which is made by the Tinicum club in Philadelphia They make a barrel of it every year, and it stands in their club house twenty years before 1t is drunk. The club Is a social organization with history of over 100 years. It's home is on an island in the Delaware. They put in the barrel one half dozen bottles cognac, one half dozen of rum dozen of Madeira, sugar the juice of 100 limes the juice of 50 boxes of straw berries and dozen of champagne. When this stands for twenty years 1t is re-en> forced with champagne to fill the bar rel. Cucumber rind is added and the punch is served mellow, potent and ex- quisite.

gives the holder no right to dividends.
 An annuity is money paid back an nually to a policyholder at stated in- tervals after certain date, in consid- eration of the money he has paid into the company.

 A tontine policy is one on which the holder receives nothing if he fails to keep up his premium till he dies.
 Term insurance is insurance for n specified number of years. The amount for which the policyholder is insured is paid only in case he dies before the expiration of the agreed terms.
 Renewable term insurance is term in suranee with the additional privilege of renewal of the policy at the end of the first term or succeeding terms of years without further medical examina- ton.

Gold Imports Coming.

All signs point to the importation of gold in large volume in the near fu- ture. This movement is the legitimate sequence of the high rates of interest on money and was foreshadowed In this column last week and the week before. The money market was manipulated very sldllfully to bring about this shifting of gold from the old world Into the New York market. The reinforcement to the supply of money was vitally essential to the bull campaign In stocks which had been planned by the ruling financial interests of Wall street. Not only is money coming here from abroad, but there Is also an Inflow of funds from hundreds of cities and towns in tho United States. The purpose of the man ipulation has ben obvious all along, and few among the intelligent and solvent class of investors and speculators were forced out of their stocks. Only the weak and timid let go.

Rival of Pullman,

A rival has sprung up to compete with the Pullman Palace car monopoly for the favor of the traveling public. A uew car has been constructed and put into active use in modest way which eclipses the Pullman in every respect. If the big company does not strangle or buy it the little rival is sure to make a place for itself. The car Is being run between New York and Pennsylvania over the tracks of the Jersey Central and Reading road two or three times a week, and everybody who travels on it becomes a walking advertisement 1t Is a combination parlor, sleeping and dining car. It weighs five tones less than a Pullman. costs about the same. is as strong as steel construction can make it and in the mater of convenience, comfort and sanitation has the Pullman beaten thirty ways. The transforma- ton of the interior from parlor car to a sleeper Is like a piece of clever stage work The berths are lifted from receptacle under the floor and the chairs are placed in the cavity thus ere sated, the space being sufficient to store them together with valises, wraps, over coats, etc. This work Is done in less than two minutes for each berth or less than one-fifth the time required in a Pullman. The berths are wider and long CT than the Pullman, not so much space being taken up in the heavy frame work and upholstery. The new car is pro- tected by twenty patents and applica- tions are on file in the patent office for about twenty-five improvements. One of the novelties is a closet between the windows which contain a neatly folded table with all the silverware and knives cruets and napkins needed for two One car does the work of three The car would seem to i'll long felt want All it needs Is the cooperation of a few railroads to command the backing of the public. This cooperation the Pull man company expects to prevent. and if 1t does we may look for a long contin- nation of the disease breeding and un- comfortable sleeping car service with which we are all familiar.

Money in Mines.

The immense sums that are going into mining development and mining stocks cut an important figure in the money situation. Millions upon millions of dol- lars are being put into the ground in the development of mining properties in the United States, the Dominion of Can- ada and the Republic of Mexico. It is the expectation of investors that this cash will all come back with big interest. Persons who pretend to have made a study of mining contend that every dol lars of gold taken out of the ground cost $2 or more. That is probably an under estimate if losses are counted in which are incurred in the purchase of shares in mining companies. Whether 1t holds true in the matter of actual mining is doubtful. Modern methods have greatly reduced the chance of loss in the business of real mining.
