RAILROAD ACTION
INDICATES MUCH
BRIGHTER OUTLOOK

PITTSBURG, May 13.-That a
wave OF prosperity is about to en-
gulf the Pittsburg industrial district,
and very soon, is evidenced by the
certain movements here today among
the railroads and at the steel mills.
II is announced from the Office Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad here this
afternoon that the company is now
ready TO begin work on reducing the
tunnel on its main line at Greensburg
to cut, and also that the grade
would he reduced there.
This work, which will cost trifie
over 100000, was set aside at the
coming of the financial stringency
last fall, and the indication that II Is
to be taken up gives the impression
that the railroad sees light ahead.
The cut will be for six tracks. and
will be the first move toward six
tracking the system from Pittsburg
to Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt
systems today placed orders for lot
of coal, and the steel mills report
themselves ready for a long run, as
repairs have been made on the plants
of the steel Corporation.

NEW YORK LIFE CUTS
LIABILITY ON SUICIDES.
rcature Dropped Because of Unusual
Losses by Suicides Due to
Financial Revcrses.

NEW YORK, May lathe man
agement of the New York Life In
surance company, has notified its
agents to write no more of the So
called incontestable policies In ex-
cess of 100000. This incontestable
policy is the policy without suicide
clause. II was first brought into the
life insurance business by the late
John A. Mccall in 1892. soon after
he left the position of state superin-
tendent OF insurance, to become presi-
dent of the New York Life. Since
that time the policy has been a dis
tinctive feature of New York Life
business. Insurance men say that it
was the greatest thing Mr.. Mccall did
to secure business for the company.
This particular policy is stamped
"incontestable after date of issue"
II policyholder has paid his
premium, his beneficiary gets the
money without any protest whatever,
no matter what the cause OF death.
Neither the Equitable nor the Mutual
has written such a policy, and the
feasibility of writing II has been a
matter OF discussion between ad-
herents OF the various companies and
of argument between rival agents.
In limiting the amount TO be
written on the incontestable policies,
the New York Life has not surrender
ed the principle that the insured
saonld secure for his heirs the full
face value OF his policy under any cir
eumstances whatever. II has simply
made il impossible for anyone in
10. 10, he
company by mulcting 1t in too large
an amount. The company has suicide
statistics extending over 20 or more
years and is satisfied that the general
uolicv OF writing an incontestable
policy is both fair TO the policyholder
and the business as far as the COM
pany is concerned. On the whole,
New York Life agents claim the
benefits far surpass the occasional
losses al the hands Of those who take
out policies with suicidal intent.
The late Charles Coster had a
policy of 100000 in the New York
Life. The policy was taken out two
months ago and was payable 10 his
wife The company has also lost
recently through many others of
small amounts Accountants in the
companys Offices keep careful
record of all losses IN case of suicide
CT In eases resembling suicide. and
they have reported TO the manage
ment that the losses in the past six
months have exceeded, probably on
account of business troubles. the
losses of any previous period ms far
as the ratio is concerned.
The increase is by no means large,
hui in no previous period OF the same
length has the percentage of suicide
losses TO the total been so great.

MINING, MARKETS AND METALS
PROMPT SUPPORT
RALLIES MARKET
FROM A DECLINE

NEW YORK, May 13.-The stock
market was rather sharply reaction
a-y at one period today. and the
thought they were witnessing the Of
ten expected elimination of the up
ward movement. The effective con-
troll of the market which has been
In evidence for many days past was
once more reasserted, and when this
was perceived the bear party once
more retreated by buying to cover
shorts, thus helping on the rally. as
they have done SO often here recent
". The control of the market re-
Taxed again late in the day.
The Union Pacific bond issue is
the most important event from a fin
ancial standpoint in prospect. The
rumor of a hitch in the transaction
received little attention here. as the
belief is held that the hotations is
specially arranged already. Condi-
tions moved further toward the gold
export point, and 1t is now consid-
cred probable that a considerable
sum will go out this week. although
discount rates declined in London
and Berlin today.
Treasury figures show that the
banks have repaid not only the in
stallment of government. deposits
called for May 3. but also part OF
that called for May %, thus indicat-
ing the sense of repletion of money.
The $20,325,117 decline In value
of April agricultural exports COM
pared with April last year makes an
other influence in forcing out gold.
The lifting of special stocks formed
the method OF supporting the mar
ket against the forces of depression.
The copper industrials were made
strong in face of the reduction In the
Quincy mining dividends for the
quarter to 81. compared with $1.50
for the preceding quarter. following
successive reductions from the $4.5O
rate paid for the first two quarters
last year. Prices yielded again after
recovery and closed weak.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales
par value, $3,9.0.000. U. s. bonds
were unchanged on call.

TIME RIPE FOR THE
BUYERS OF GOOD
COPPERS--GA|N|NG

Financial sentiment throughout the
country is daily becoming more i'm
proved but as yet has not displayed
effect upon the copper share market
in any appreciable extent. However,
II will not be long before the big cop
per consumers will be very actively
in the field with large orders. Then
will be witnessed general improve
ment not only in price of the red
metal but in all issues of any promi-
hence. An era of high prosperity
will probably be ushered in In the
near future that will comparatively
have no limitations during which
such stocks as Nevada Consolidated
and Cumberland Ely will enjoy large
degree of attention by the traders.
These stocks are today commanding
greater attention, considering that
they are comparatively new issues
before the investing public, than any
of the other low cost producers.
Continued advice for the purchas-
ing OF meritorious issues when SELL
ing at low figures as they are at the
present time appears to have but
little effect but a little later on in

year have been made. and on the
liberal scale OF the appropriations for
the current year. No economies can

provisions will be made for the fiscal
year 1910. Mr.. Tawnev. chairman
of the appropriations committee. has
expressed the fear that the deficit in
the coming year will reach SEQ, 900

now $251. 100000. A deficit Of $40
000. 900 for the next two months and
of 100000 for the next fiscal

BINFORD A. HULsE LETTER.

All of the Ely coppers showed
strength except Ely Consolidated and
Giroux. These latter stocks are due
for a raise. Newhouse was on and
was very weak but will soon rally to
higher prices. Nevada Consolidated
showed more activity today than any
of the big Ely stocks. Europe Is taxi
ing a great deal of copper and Tat
should raise the price OF the red
metal and boost the copper stocks
to higher prices.
