Petition Filed for Appointment Of
Receiver for the Traders In
Surance Company.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Chicago H., May 5.-A petition for
the aTopintment OF a receiver for the
Traders Insurance Company was filed
in the Circuit court today.
Byron l.. smith. president Of the
Northern Trust Company OF this city.
was later appointed receiver of the
company by Judge Julian Mack Of
the Circuit court. The application
for a receiver was made in behalf Of
fifteen stockholders.
The company is one of the largest
fire insurance companies i'm the West.
and its distress is due to the heavy
losses it sustained in San Francisco.
he amount Of which was stated In the
application for the receiver, to be APP
rroxtmately S3,74S,o00. 1t was stated
in the application that the assets Of
the company viii not exceed $500
600. IN addition to this the com
pany * indebted for fire losses ard
upon other claims 10 anamount ag-
gregating gill, go.
The bonds Of Mr.. Smith as receiver
Ware fixed at $4,000. 600. The com
pany now has outstanding policies az
gregating S~160.00H.G GOO aud the court
vas informed that its present unpaid
losses exceed the total assets by more
than 100000.

IS GOOD
Violent Declines in Stocks
Affect it Little.
The Only Drawbacks as to the Future
are the Labor Controversies and
Stringency in the Money
Market.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, May 4.-R. G.. Dun &
cos weekly review of trade tomo--
row will say:
The violent decline III prices of Sc
curities is no criterion of business con
dit.ons. Railway earnings have con
tinHed to surpass those Of the CORE
spending period in any previous year,
the gain for April being 9.3 per cent
over the same month of 1905, and
other standards of measurement MAKE
equally gratifying exhibits. Liabili-
ties of failures last month showed a
decrease of over 40 per cent in man
~ufacturinS and u per cent in trading
branches of business as compared
with the previous year. The only
drawbacks regarding the future are
the labor controversies and the strin-
gency in the money market, neither
of which may prove Of more than
temporary duration. manufacturing
plants report little idle machinery, and
seusonable merchandise feels the i'm
petus OF settled weather. Foreign
commerce for the last week shows
gains of $~1,909.972 in exports and
s 2.943.729 in imports as compared
with the same week last year. Conn
modify prices are well maintained by
a good demand and the crop outlook
is fully as bright as usual at this
date, while in many departments an
increased creag is under cultivation.
OF geratest importance to the
iron and steel industry of all the
events Of the past week was the strike
of l~ongshoremen on the Lake and
water 'front.'. If this struggle is not
promptly settled. it Will soon become
impossible to maintain pig iron pro
auction at the highest point on record.
Otherwise the strikes on May 1 were
not of sufficient magnitude to effect
the progress of the steel business.
Textile mills maintain activity, al
thcu@h new business comes forward
slowly.
Tanners evince a disposition 10 OPP
crate more C~onserVatiVely. which has
checked the upward tendency Of hides
Leather has developed some irregp-
laritv. hemlock sole holding firm
while union and oak backs are neg
lcCted.
Manufacturers of footwear are oc-
cupying q most Independent position,
because of the liberal contract now
untitled.
Failures this week in the United
States were 212, against 215 last week
1917 the preceding week, and 212 the
corresponding week last year.
