INSURANCE SALES
HOLDING Up WELL
Total Volume in Force Now
Greater Than at Any
Other Time.
BY ROLLIN NJ. CLARK.

Although new life insurance sales fo-
the first seven months Of the year show
decline Of more than IS per cent from
the same period of 1881, according to
statistics made public by the Associa-
ton of Life Insurance Presidents. the
average American citizen Is probably
putting more of his income into life
insurance today than ever before.
The total volume Of insurance in
force Is greater now than 1t has been
at any time in the past, and new sales
are not falling of il proportion to the
decline in national income. To keep
up volume new markets have been
cultivated. One Of these is the house.
wife class.
A survey made public by the Ameri-
can Life Convention shows that the
depression has brought women into the
ranks Of leading purchasers of life in
surance. More than IL per cent of the
current buyers of insurance protection
are housewives. Three out Of four of
them had never owned life insurance
previously.
Farmers were second to housewives
IN number OF insurance applications
submitted. This either indicates that
e-AS SOIl04IAOll vi tllc AIIltTlCdIl
farmer is improving or that this field
has been woefully neglected by life un-
derwriters In the past
Whether or not new sales pick up
materially coincident with any upturn
IN business is not greatly worrying
company executives. They feel that as
soon as business is definitely ON the up
grade, their production records will i'm
prove. What does cheer them Is the
falling off in the demand for policy
loans during the last month or SO. II
appears now that the peak may have
been passed in June. Since the stock
and commodity markets reversed their
doWnard trends, the loan situation has
been causing less concern.
AS the loan demand decreases. the
lie companies should have more funds
available for new investments. Part of
their excess funds will go into mort
cages, but the bulk will be used for the
purchase OF high-grade bonds

OIL THEFT CHARGES
AWAITED IN WEST
Operators Interested in Reports
That Curtailment Laws Have
Been Violated.

OKLAHOMA CITY. August 2o.-Oil
men await with interest the report of
Lieut. Col. Cicero I. Murray, in charge
of military supervision of proration ir
the Oklahoma City gusher pool, on
his findings with regard to violation of
regulatory provisions in crude Oil pro-
duction.
Early this week, Col. Murray. who
also is head of the Oil States Advisory
Committee, announced his force had
discovered schemes for getting around
the official proration rules and would
be able to show that approximately
100000 barrels of oil monthly was
being "smuggled" from certain wells
Col. Murrays announcement was
hailed with glee by the Midcontinent
Oil & Gas Associations Executive Com
mittee and the Statewide Proration
Committee urged prosecution of Offend
ers, agreeing to pay half the court
costs. The oil generalissimo meanwhile
pushed his investigation to completion
and announced that prosecutions would
be launched.
Oil thefts on a large scale previously
had been uncovered in Texas fields
Curbing of the violations seems destined
to cut production figures lower with a
resulting salutary effect upon the mar
ket. oil leaders say.
The theft of oil is as old as the In

many instances of oil stealing some

BY BRADLEY w. TRENT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 20.-New York
banks that have many customers in the
cotton and wooden goods. silk and shoe
trades, report decided expansion IN
these industries during the past week.
Their clients in the cotton goods trade
state that they have done more busi-
ness in the last two days than in any
similar period of the last six months.

the turn. but it is beginning to nibble.
All retailers have small stocks OF goods
and early orders for replacement are
anticipated
While the season Is not far enough
advanced to get an accurate line on
consumer response to early retail Of
ferings in the apparel trade. reports So
far this week indicate an improved de-
mand for quality goods. Pacific Coast
stores. which operate earlier than those
in the Middle West and East, were the
first to report a better response 70
higher grade merchandise.
From the Middle West come reports
that hardware sales are showing I'M
provement along with clothing and
shoes. The small merchants are the
first to tell of increased sales, as buy
ing by farmers has been stimulated by
the advances in the commodity mar
kets. Sentiment on the cotton outlook
is quite bullish in the Southern mill
centers, as evidenced by the attitude OF
sellers on gray cloth prices. Substan-
tial orders for Sheetings have helped
the gray cloth market.
The number of buyers in the New
York wholesale apparel market has at
tanned a new peak for the season this
week. with a total of 1,156 listed, as
compared with 1922 in the correspond
ing week year ago.

NEW YORK, August 20 P)-A par
tial answer to the question whether
business is responding to a six-week
rise in security prices was given in the
weekly trade reviews, which indicate
betterment in many directions. The
momentum of the Industrial recovery

several weeks yet, as it is expected to
appear about the middle of September.
