NEW YORK, March le.-With net
loss from operations during 1894 Of
81 ,06l .37l, the annual report Of North
American Aviation, Inc, revealed that
the only profit during the year re-
suited from the sale of securities. The
latter profit. totaling $1,268 ,293,
changed the final result to a surplus
of $206,92l for the year.
1t was further pointed out that the
company has successfully maintained
its liquid position with cash and mar
ketable securities as Of December 81,
1884, Of s3,025,084 and liabilities of
$42l, ,387.
In statement accompanying the
report to stockholders signed by j. H.
Kindelberger, president, and Ernest
r. Breech, chairman of the board, it
was stated that conditions are not
such in the air transport industry as
to encourage your company to con-
tinue indefinitely in the air transport
business unless more reasonable legis-
lation is obtained, not only removing
the present restrictions embodied in
the airmail act Of 1884, but also offer
ing reasonable encouragement for the
natural growth of this business, which
still depends to such a great extent
upon the Post Office Department pay
ing its share Of the cost of supplying
airmail service"
A deduction of S2,O62, ,308 from capi-

Brokers' Comment
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 19.-Overnight
opinion of brokers on the trend of the
Stock Market was mixed today, with
some looking for further reaction,
while others were impressed by the
moderation of yesterdays selling.
E. A. Pierce & Co-It may possibly
be of significance that volume of
selling is not on the increase, but, on
the other hand, shows signs of grow
ing smaller and more scattered
Chas. D. Barney g. Co.-Merely
on this basis of the extent and dura-
ton of the decline we believe that
the market in general should be
close to a short-term trading reversal.
Hornhlower & Weeks-Having placed
accounts in a strong position. we
would simply stand aside and await
developments.
Munds. WinSlow & Potter-We think
that the market satisfactorily with
stood the shock of week end European
news and that the rally indicated by
last weeks action will now proceed.
Shields & Co-It is now certain
that sentiment will unfavorably in
fluence Spring business activity and
that further delays and confusion
will come out of Congress.

INSURANCE TREND
HELD GOOD SIGN
Continued Gain in Volume of
New Life Policies Cheers
FinanCiers.
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,

NEW YORK, March 13.--Because it
is regarded as fairly sensitive baron.
eter of investment confidence, the con-
tinued gain in new life insurance pro-
duction has evoked expressions Of
satisfaction in financial quarters.
The trend, as discovered by the lat
est statistics made available by the
Association Of Life Insurance Presi-
dents, has aroused particular interest,
since 1t occurred in the face of q
steady flow Of alarmiSt predictions by
anti-infationists and other business
commentators who can see no hint
Of sunshine beyond their own darkly
tinted horizons.
New insurance business started run
ming down hill around 1929, and not
until 1884 did the trend reverse itself
The first half of last year showed
monthly gains running from 6 per
cent to 26 per cent, whereas the same
period of 1888 recorded losses rang
ing from los per cent up to 349 per
cent
In the second half of 1884 the i'm
provement was less marked. and in
two months the new business ran
slightly behind the comparable period
of 1888. For the year as a whole the
increase in total new insurance was
l0l per cent against a decline of l4.1
per cent in the previous year.
The reports for January and Feb
ruary indicate that the insuring com.
panies are not merely holding, but
adding to the ratios of last years in
creaSes. January volume was up "a
per cent, against an increase of 8.3
per cent in January, 1884, and Feb
ruary's gain of IL per cent compared
with a 6.3 per cent rise year ago.
For the first two months of the year
the total improvement was l7.6 per
cent, compared with about per cent
in 1884.
Through the period of recovery in
new business last year, and even into
this year, speculative markets have
experienced numerous flurries, occa-
stoned by events which we're believed
at the time TO have infiationary i'm
plications.
During some of these hectic periods
OF hedging and shifting of investment
accounts, high-grade securities we're
temporarily depressed by the imitation
scares; The records appear to indi-
cate That insurance buyers were not
especially perturbed by these confusing
symptoms, but were, on the contrary,
reasonably satisfied that the dollars
TO be paid back on their policies would
De as sound as the dollars paid for the
protection.

Der, q, 1888. Cotton yarns, wool and

CaIexieo In
$40 Score
Over Morse

Backing up their recent barking
with a bite thoroughly as strong,
the Calexico Bulldogs last night
took a sizable piece from the seat
of the Holtville Vikings trousers,
piling up a 32-0 score with appar-
ent ease as the boW-Wows went
through their Morse opponents
like hurricane through an old
mans WhiSkers.
The night of thrilling gridiron
performance was topped with the
l05-yard track meet in which %
athletes participated. Elusive Joe
Andrade, captain and triple threat
quarterback, led the pack home for
a touchdown in the second quarter.
This, however, was not the initial
trip to the boW-wows' end zone
they had been there twice before
in the opening period.
Passes-Moreno to Andrade and
Armador to Moreno-pushed the
score to 13 counts and Moreno
booted good for the extra point.
These discouraging goals were
made in the opening minutes of
play in the first quarter.
Third Scoreless
Failing to score in the third STAN
20 with second string men in, Cal
eXico tried its power plays in the
fourth and carried the ball and the
Vikings to the goal line twice in
this finishing period. Andrade car
ried the pigskin over in an off
tackle play and then kicked the
extra point for the first of the two
counters while Morena cleverly
took the ball over his right guard
for the last tally.
A thrilling performance of first
downs and short ground gains was
turned in by little 123 pound Ko-
kubun who replaced Andrade in
the third quarter and occupied the

Holtville showed aggressiveness

lost all chances of scoring as Cal
eXico recovered. Immediately on
the next play Andrade stood five
yards back of his own goal line
and jaunted around his right end
