1916 Best Year
In the History Of
Life Insurance
Increase Is Declared To Be
Due to Intelligence of
the Public

Life insurance companies in the
United States and Canada paid out TO
policyholders during the fiscal year OF
1915 the sum Cf s75s,9OO,o 900. Accord
ing to "The Insurance Press" which
will publish the figures to-day, this is
the greatest amount ever distributed
in this continent in twelve months.
"The year 1916 was the greatest year
in the history Of life insurance in the
United States as regards the amount
OF new business written" the publica-
tion will say. an Canada also the new
issues approach closely TO the biggest
life insurance year the Dominion has
known. 49,.
$50 far in 1917 the demand for life
insurance has been beyond all prece-
dent. Reports from a large number or
companies, including the largest cor.
porations, show increased writings OF
1896 per cent during the first hye
months of the year. The increasing de-
mand for life insurance is wholly nor
nal and is based upon the intelligence
of the public. A life insurance stats
ticia.l is authority for the statement
that 81 per cent of all estates left IN
the United States consists solely OF
life insurance" ,
The United States government ne
Insurance Press" goes on TO state, IS
planning to cover the casualties OF the
war in the army and navy through a
system of insurance which may entirely
supcrsede the pension system. 10 estl-
mates that $4,000 100000 of life insur-
.suce is carried by men Who are subject
20 the draft and who will carry their
insurance into the war without any
extra war premium.

Cotton

Irregularity in the cotton market
Yesterday was not suggestive of any
important changes in conditions un-
derlying the market Reports from
the Southwest were intended TO con-
vey the impression that the crop in
that section was not doing as well as
could be desired, but the trade here
was not inclined to take a serious
view of the outlook.
Aside from crop views there was no
inducement to engage in speculative
transactions. The situation as TO-
CARDS the distribution Of available
supplies, both abroad and in his
country, is so filled with uncertainties
as 10 make traders extremely cautious.
Exports for the day were 1853
bales, making 5,262935 so far this
season. Southern spot markets, as Of
ficially reported, were unchanged to
25 points higher.

German Chemical Trust
New Combination Reports Big
Profits i'm First Year

Judging from the prosperity re-

associated manufactures in the new
German chemical trust. the combina-
tion in question has worked very satis-
factorily in the first year OF its ef-
istence. says the Amsterdam CORE
snondent Of The Associated Press.
Large profits are reported. The trust .

Metals

There has been a slight expansion in
the demand for copper from domestic
consumers, but the market as a whole
continues dull, with prices unchanged.
The fact that copper was not mentioned
in the Administrations embargo on eX-
ports caused little surprise in the
trade. 1t was pointed out that Great
Britain has already put ban on metal
shipments through Halifax and Kirk
wall not intended for government con,
sumption, and that this in itself Will
prevent copper from going forward to
the Central Powers via neutral coun-
tries.
Current spot prices for few Of the
principal metals and meta products'
compared with those prevailing at the
corresponding time Of last year, follow:

Dutch Oppose Monopoly
Fight Bill to Save Products
from Foreign Demand

The Dutch governments bill to estao-
ish a state monopoly OF experts, both
of home produced and imported prod
net. has reused widespread opposl-
tion. and it has been held up so far
as the present Parliament is concerned
saws The Associated Press correspond
ent at The Hague.
The measure is nevertheless likely
to be pusned in the new Parliament
The problems centring around the
country's foreign trade are regarded as
calling for extraordinary methods.
Moreover, it IS openly stated by the.
government that, with the arrival OF

nation will find it even more NECESSARY
