YEARS SURETY BUSINESS
Review Of Twelve Months shsws That
Much PROGRESS Is Mads,
MANY CHANGES FOR SETTER NOTED
Harry $. Byrne Points out Improve
ments I'm Methods and Results
That Have Come with
ADDED Experience.

The past year was productive Of many
changes In the surety world. From
financial standpoint It was a successful
one for most OF the companies as compared
with 1906 and other recent years. This Is
evidenced by the increase In the surplus
accounts Of such companies as the Amer
lean Surety, Fidelity and Deposit and
United States Fidelity and Guaranty,
and by the payment Of dividends
the first in several years, by the
National Surety and American Bond
ing incidentally II may be noted that
two new executives Messrs Joyce
and Gator, made good in this respect
Probably in no year, especially II we may
include the first part Of this year have
there been 30 many changes among the
officers and principal agents Of the surety
companies as during the past one. The
United Bankers Illinois, Empire and Met
ropolitan have all undergone a reorganiza-
ton in more or less degree. In spite OF the
rumors that the Bankers and Illinois would
be absorbed. they retained their identity,
At least two new companies, which bid
fair to make their influence felt later en-
tered the field, viz: The Hudson Surety
company Of New York and the Keystone
Bonding company OF Philadelphia.
Companies Closer Together.
There is little question but that the COM
panies are becoming more closely identi-
fed in the matter of rates and conditions,
and, while this may be attributed to a gem
eral awakening of executives to a realiza-
ton Of the fact that the business cannot
be written for nothing and losses paid, the
result has been effected in no small degree
by the organization of the Board Of Casu-
atty and Surety Underwriters, the National
Association Of Casualty and Surety Agents
and the local underwriters associations.
Perhaps one very important indication that
the requirements of surety companies are
becoming more uniform is the almost gen
eral exaction of joint custody Of assets in
connection with the execution of bonds for
| guardians, especially where they are
women.
There has been considerable discussion of
matters which are of vital Importance to
the business and such problems as the 10
per cent limitation imposed by the federal
government and several of the states and
surety reserves have occupied the chief at
tention. The excise bond question, especi-
ally in New York, and the re-entry Of tine
companies into such states as Oklahoma,
! have also called for careful consideration
New lines have been developed, and, II a
critical observer were to analyze the work
! of the past year, he would probably come
to the conclusion that more attention was
! paid by the managers of surety companies
to developing new lines than to any other
one thing.

An Interesting Savings Bank Record.

Any system or method Of doing bust
ness which varies much from that fol-
lowed by Others engaged in the same
line, is always watched, with eager in
terest. The scheme Of banking used so
successfully by the Hyde Park Savings
Bank is so different from that of the
other banks in the state, that it is found
especially interesting. The Brattleboro
Reformer says:
1t is Interesting to note the progress
of this institution because of the fact
that all its funds are invested in Yer
mont and it has never lost dollar by a
poor note. n N

One dollar shall be the minimum
price for bushel OF wheat, with Other
grains in proportion, was the state
ment of President J. A. Everett oil
indianapolis, head Of the American
Society of Equity. when he called to
order Wednesday nearly 400 delega.es
for the purpose of nationalizing the
Igrain growers organization.
"There is no politics in this gather
ling" said Mr.. Everett "but when il
| adjeurns action will have been taken
THAT will insure to the grain raisers OF
this county voice in making the
|price they shall receive for their pro-
ducts"
One of the important objects of the
meeting is to secure control of tie
1907 wheat crop. The association will
make a substantial appropriation 20
place large number of agents in the
field to stop the sale of wheat by
farmers to an extent that will reduce
the visible supply to a point low
enough to keep the price at or above
the dollar mark
