VALUATION OF ARIZONA
 MOUNTS TO sss MILLIONS

PHOENIX. Oct. 1-The assessed !aluation of Arizona. according to fig. ires of the Arizona tax commission, las increased from $9s.012.7OS.S4 for
 he year 1911 to $s55.224 .72O93 for the year 1919 This means that the wealth of the state has increased to the astonishing exten, of SIP per cent since the last year of the territory. Or. to put it another way. Arizona has mere than doubled it's taxable wealth three times since statehood.
 During this eight-year period the value of railroads has increased from s19.000.000 in round numbers to s100.0G0.00O: mining property has jumped from sfs.oo0.e00 to $496,oo0.- 900: lands and improvements froc, s14.OOo.OO0 to $75.oe0. 900: live stock of all kinds from s7.0OO.0Oo to sj2.. 100000 and all other property from s11.OOO.Oe0 to sS1. .Ooo. coo.
 These figures tell more forcefu.ly than words of the gigantic strides which have been made in the dayel- opmnt of Arizona since 1t became state. and to the thinking reader they forecast a development in the next eight years almost unbelievable extent.

 To care for the destitute, the homo less and suffering requires many hun dreds of thousands of dollars. and the citizens of Texas and other states have responded speedily and nobly te the first appeal for help sent broad cast over the nation.
 The state government has sent troops to preserve order, and rations and equipment 10 assist in clearing the city of debris
 Seventy-five per cent of the busi- ness men cf Corpus Christi are bank rupt today Some of them have had their places of business swept away, together with their homes. Many of them have lost members of their fam lilies, and all of them have suffered ;1reparable damage.

 Today ii is weighted down with sorrow and disaster: tomorrow it will rise again. but it must have finan cial help NOW.
 Will you help us in this hour? and be assured tha, it is needed and will be appreciated.
 Very truly yours.

three days more in which to get rid
OF January contracts did much to
emphasize the downward tendency
that values possessed, owing to eff
forts of railroad officials to facilitate
the crop movement. Denials that any
order had been issued to give grain
priority over all other freight re-
ceived but little notice. as it was
conceded that grain cars were to be
given preference in the repair shops
and that cars suitable for carrying
grain were not to be used for any
other purpose in grain territory. Big

LIFE INSURANCE IN WAR
CONTINUED IN EUROPE
Swiss Government Control Boards
Report Says Character of Sc
curities Changed.
The Swiss government control board.

The Swiss government control board,
which supervises the activity of Swiss
and foreign insurance companies oper-
ating in Switzerland. has published its
report for 1917. The war did not
diminish the activity of the life in
surance companies in any European
country. but it strongly changed the
character of the securities held as guar
antee for risks and liabilities, accord
ing to this report which says that at
the end OF 1913 the percentage of gov
eminent securities in the total of assets
VI the lie insurance companies was
with Swiss companies. 1872 per cent :
win German companies, 65.6 per cent :
with Austrian companies, 1877 per cent :
WIN french companies. 3S per cent :
win the English companies, 2O.2 per
cent; and with the American compan MES.
7.S per cent.
During the war the repayment Of
mortgage loans. facilitated by the
strong demand Of money for the pov.
ernments. transformed the character of
tne assets of the life insurance com
panies. At the end of 1917 Swiss COM

STEEL QUIET; RAILROADS
WILL PLACE BIG ORDERS

NEW YORK, December 27.-Steel
during the week has been compare
lively quiet and activity is not likely
until the new year.
Demand is held in allegiance, but
requirements for domestic consump-
tion and for export have been ac-
cumulating. The steel companies are
heavily sold and accept new business
sparingly. Such orders as have been
taken by independent mills have been
at advanced prices.
Railroads are ready to place large
orders. Rail requirements are esti-
mated already in the neighborhood Of
/ 100000 tons. Demand for rolling
stock is expected to develop in large
way. Structural steel plates. sheets
and wire products are taxing the ca
pacity of the mills.
A fair tonnage of steel and foundry
iron was booked during the week.
but demand is not SO insistent as
heretofore. Prices are firm. Some
grades most in demand have advanced
81. but the upward movement is not
so general. The furnaces, however,
are substantially sold over first quar-
ter, and are not seeking more dis
tant business.
Copper has been quite active. The
December movement, including export
demand, is estimated at 100000. 900
pounds, and no speculative business
has come to light. The market is
firmer at 1SAa19 for large lots over
the first quarter. Second quarter is
quoted as high as 19a1SA.
Lead is scarcer and demand corre-
spondingly pronounced. The outside
market is very strong at 7.40. New
York.
Zinc is again active for export. but
domestic is quiet. The market has
been advancing in sympathy with
London and is quoted nrm at $40.
East st. Louis.
Tin has advanced on a sharp up
ward turn in London and good do
mestic demand. Importers now ask
