this is founded upon the company's
assets, which are substantial and ac-
tive, upon its continued low mortal
ity experience, 61.0S per cent of the
expected during 1909, upon a rate OF
interest earning on mean ledger in
vestments of 4.90 per cent, a gain of
80 points since 1892, and upon the
conversion of a negative item from
margins into a plus factor contribu-
ting to current surplus gains. In its
practice and also by virtue of its ex-
perience and condition the company
has attained a condition of surplus
earning which was never potentially
exceeded in its long history of ser
vice to the insured.

The surplus item reported in this
statement has increased during the
past year from $5,279,9 $3.50 to S5.S29,
S6S.S6 or $549,94316, of which 1885,

company paid its members in divi-

Never
Interest Expenses Pilns Big Charges to.
Promise the Highest of Prices.

The phenomenon of increased
quantities of butter and eggs in stor-
age with higher prices in the market
is causing much talk among the
wholesale dealers on the west side.
The explanation offered by some of
their number is that Western pack
ing companies made contracts earlier
in the year to take the butter and
eggs from the farmers at high prices,
and so they were compelled to main
tain prices to protect themselves from
losses. If the current receipts of the
products were now offered for iinme-
diate consumption prices would drop,
and so most of the eggs and butter
coming here of late has gone into
storage.
One of the wholesale dealers said
that the packing companies may also
have as an object in keeping up
prices of butter that people may get
the habit of using oleomargarine as a
substitute. While butter was at it's
highest retail prices last winter much
more oleomargarine was sold than
ever before in this country.
Dealers said that they do not see
any reason for expecting a reduction
this year in the cost of living in the
items of butter and eggs.

Modern Business Ethics.

A Chicago minister recently told
the students of the University OF
Chicago that the code of modern
business was pagan and not Chris
tian, with brutality and selfishness
as it's chief attributes.
Modern business has much in it
that is bad, but it is far from being
ethically pagan and it is not, as i'm
piled by this assertion, as bad as the
business codes that preceded. 1t is
a far cry from the day of apprentice
ship slavery and imprisonment for
debt to that of short hours, sanitary
labor and liberal pay and laws ex-
empting debtors from unfair eXac-
tions by creditors. Our lJquacious
old friend, Micawber, would, no
doubt, revel in the patience and priv
ileges of this day and conclude that
this era, without its debt-pTisons and
Uriah Heeps. was indeed a utopan
age. But the serious fact is that
with all our strenuous competition,
quick amassing of prodigious wealth,
our business code Is more humane,
more mindful of the other man and
his rights and, indeed more moral
than that of any people in history.
All about us we see these men of
colossal fortunes giving with lavish
hand to charitable or other worthy
causes and even in the severity Of
their business dealings they are not
driving as cruel bargains as they
used tO.-Omaha Bee

New York City.-Dutter and eggs
are now stored in the warehouses of
New York and vicinity in greater
quantities than ever before at this
time of year Last years figures on
storage and prices made high records
up to that time, but they are exceed
ed by the totals of the present month.
Butter is now higher than it has been
in July of any other year since the
Civil War times.
The figures were contained in re-
port completed from twenty-nine of
the thirty-two food warehouses in the
metropolitan district. This report
shows that 2,234,00O cases, each con-
tanning thirty dozens of eggs, are now
in storage, while year ago the total
was 1911, 900 cases. Never before
has the total in these warehouses ex-
ceeded 100000 cases ip July.
Receipts of eggs have not been
greatly in excess of those of last year,
so some of the dealers infer that a
speculative movement has something
to do with the conditions. The re-
ceipts for the last two months have
been 2,417,000 cases, while in the
SAME two months of last year $780,
of eggs began in April.
The best grades of eggs going into
storage are quoted at twenty-three
cents a dozen in car lots. They are
Western eggs, and two years ago sim
liar grades were sold at eighteen
cents. Fresh Eastern eggs, which
are now quoted at twenty-four to
twenty-seven cents dozen in the
Wholesale markets, were sold for
twenty-five cents year ago.
All the egg prices will be increased,
the dealers say, by the warehouse
expenses, interest charges and profit
when the eggs are taken from the
warehouses for consumption next fall
and winter.
The total amount of butter now in
storage in the metropolitan district
warehouses is placed at SS,S20,OOO
pounds. A year ago the total was
