MIDSUMMER QUIET
PERvAOES TRADE
Is Increased in All Branches
Owing to General Contrac-
ton Everywhere.

New York, June 26-Duns Review
of Trade tomorrow will say:
Midsummer quiet is augmented this
year by the general contraction that
has occurred in all departments of trade
and industry, but the splendid progress
of the crops strengthens confidence
in the future, and preparations for a
large volume of fall business are gradu-
ally increasing the percentage of active
machinery.
Idle freight cars have been reduced to
less than 100000, and railroad shops are
resuming repair work
Numerous small orders make up a
fair tonnage of new business in the
ron and steel industry, but buying is
conservative as Is customary at this
season In most departments.
Arrivals of foreign dry hides are
small and are readily absorbed at the
recent advance In Prices.

WHOLESALE DRY GOODS.

w ltOlzES ALE IJlkI tIIODo.
The wholesale dry goods trade is find
ing business fairly good In staples. such
as spirits, bleached and brown sheet
ings, ginghams, etc. Prices are advance
ing on staples There are no more can
cellatlons reported. Jobbers report
prices as having reached hardpan, and
starting upward again Woods are go
ing up, but as yet the fabrics made
from them have not been affected. The
coming styles will tbe in striped pat
terms this fall in blues. browns, reds
and greens. There are frequent ne
quests for quick shipments from the
jobbers, which means that stocks of
staple domestics are being worked down
very close by retailers and jobbers,
while the hurry shown in getting sum-
mer merchandise by express indicates
that in some sections of the middle
west, the retail trade is good. Jobbers
report that the next four TO six weeks
trade will be slow as compared with
normal year, but in the absence Of UNI
settling political agitation or crop fail
ures there is reason to anticipate
good fall movement. The more con-
servatiVe houses are planning for an so
per cent trade, and feel confident that
the results will not fall below that level
by November. Fine gray goods are in
demand. In fine gray cottons, the prin-
fancies, Buyers claim that the mills
will be forced to make lower prices in
lines of shrtings and specialties for the
shirt waist trade, holding that the fan
cy woven goods should be brought
down to a proportionate basis with
ginghams. Knit goods men are wait
ing. as there Is some uncertainty in the
lightweight division of the market, Fall
silk lines are being pushed, with
sheath gowns factor in the trade.
Jobbers are busy with rush orders IN
solid color dress linens, with blues. light
shades of pink and tan colors selling
best.
RETAIL TRADE.
The retail trade doese not report very
satisfactory conditions. mostly owing
to the fickleness of the weather De
partment stores are cleaning up the
odds and ends of lines In the various
departments. Dealers say the run for
the remainder of the season viii be
mostly OH cotton goods, I'm lingerie and
linens. The trade in house furnishings
and draperies is still good so is the de-
maud for summer wash goods. Buyers
appear to be waiting TO make sure that
warm weather has really come, before
launching out much into extensive sum-
mer purchasing.

Improved Water Supply, Mod
ern Buildings and Other
Reasons Assigned.
DECREASE NOT UNIFORM.
Inquiry, However, shows That Expert
Surveyors Acted Wisely When
Ratings Were Adjusted.

Fire insurance rates in Salt Lake
have been materially decreased OF late,
the lessened cost applying almost gem
orally. In perhaps Ave per cent of
the policies there has been either no
downward tendency, or slight in
crease. but in the main the change has
been almost wholly in favor OF the
policyholder
The principal reason assigned FOR the
reduction Is the increased supply of
water now available in the city. To
the modern methods of building belongs
also some of the credit The decrease
is not uniform, and this fact is a source
of some dissatisfaction TO the average
person. To the informed individual,
however, the difference appears not
only plain. but manifestly just Dis
elimination does not enter into the pro-
position at all.
For instance two buildings. standing
| side by side, and the conditions sur
rounding which are almost identical to
| the eye of the casual observer, may
| pay different rates, and for the hest OF
reasons. The surveyor in his rounds
may have discovered that the one was
| closer than the other TO nuildlng con-

AS a result of the work of the press
bureau the fTwister" is meeting with
some hard nuts to crack in his en-
deavor to lapse good insurance. AT
Provo recently, a prominent eX-city
Official was approached by a smooth
tongued agent who, upon discovering
that the prospect had two policies,
three and FIVE years old in one of the
old line companies, attempted to re-
place them with "a much better pro.
position in his own company. After
hearing the agent to the end. the ex-
official who had been reading the
warnings sent out by the press bureau,
said Look here Mr.. ---. IL / drop
these 20-year policies that have been
carried and paid for three and FIVE
years, and take out your policy and
in three and five years you should
come to me with another better pro-
position and get me to change again,
when would I be through my pay
ments?" and, looking the agent square,
ly in the eyes he continued, Isn't it a
fact that you are what is commonly
known as a 'Twister.' and that your
Better proposition is better for you
but absolutely bad for me?" With
some feeble attempt at a defense the
pirate" made a speedy but very pitt
able exit from the office.
Press Bureau. City, Dear Sirs-Am
justified In having confidence in the
ability of the Life Insurance
company to pay all it's present and flu
ture obligations; and has it a satisfac-
tory surplus? Doesn't most life insur-
ance cost too much? I'll be grateful
and appreciative of fun reply
Answer-The company referred to
apparently carries its deferred divi.
dends in its surplus account. when cor
rectly speaking deferred dividends
should be carried as a legal liability.
consequently it is not possible from
the reports we have to determine the
trtue surplus. However, it appears
that the surplus is a sufficient ratio
to the assets, provided the securities
are of high order, and we believe they
are, although this is a matter that cam
not be passed upon by the bureau
without definite knowledge of the char
acter of the securities. No; legal re-
serve, or level premium Insurance does
not cost, too much. 1t is only the cheap
.so-called protection that costs too much
Cheapness is delusion in all things.
This applies more particularly to In
surance than any other one thing (See
the answer TO our Provo correspondent
published May 30. 1sOS)

AVERAGES OF Reduction.

Some Salt Lake firms now pay as
much as II per cent less insurance than
formerly, though the average reduction
is from 10 TO 10 per cent, The de-
crease is greater on buildings than on
stock. as conditions surrounding the
latter are less subject to change and
Improvement. The buildings now pay
ing the old rate or even more are those
that still exist under the former con-
ditions or have refrigerated. exterior
and interior. Saloons. general COM
mission stores and places where NOV
ing pictures are exhibited are consid-
cred the greatest risks, with the latter
leading at the head of the hazardous
column.
A new rating book was issued by the
Pacific board of fire underwritrs juno
20. 1t was prepared by the local office,
with the assistance of an expert from
the headquarters of the concern. 1t
is not considered faultless. as 1t was
prepared more or less hastily. But
Manager Karl A. Seheid is authority
for the statement that any one in the
least dissatisfied with hir rating may
confer with the proper persons with
view to arriving AT a mutual under
standing of differences.
The Pacific Jurisdiction includes the
states of California. oregon. Montana

coming under the designation of district

Flower With No Menace on Its Stem
Is Grown by Seattle Woman.
Holland is credited with having pro-
duced the first black tulip but 1t re-
NAMED for Seattle to produce the
thornless rose. Such a prodigy was
pluCked from the garden of Mrs. w.
]. Beggs at Thirty eighth avenue and
East Union street, MadrOna heights.
The flower has the perfume Of the
sweetest rose, but the stem can be
handled by persons who have the ten
derest flesh.
Mrs. Beggs lived for years near the
home Of Luther Burbank, the mature
magician" of California. She studied
his methods and made up her mind
that she would accomplish what he SO
far had not been able to do.
Mrs. Beggs says she has a secret all
her own Of training the rosebush so
that 1t will bring forth beauty and
loneliness without the hitherto inevita-
bic menacing thorn. Some day, how
ever, she promises to take the world
into her confidence, and the thorn will
be relegated to obscurity.
II am not positively certain that /
have yet succeeded in producing the
thornless rose" said Mrs. Beggs, $50
I will not boast of my accomplish
ment This may be an accident, and
my system may not work always, so
must defer making it known until I
am quite sure"
