ages). In 1884, the insurance stock average rose over 46 per cent, com- pared with 8 decline of 6 per cent for the general stock market.
 With substantial market appreci- ation in security holdings supple menting 8 continued favorable ur- derwriting experience, insurance stocks were bound to have @ good year narketwise. Sharp price move. inents were absent, indicating steady investment demand. The advance was quietly registered in small up. turns that were consistently held. During December, the average es- tablished the 1885 high of 6l.30, the highest level since April, 1881
 Despite this advance, a group of 20 insurance stocks are currently selling at 15.9 times operating earn ings, compared with twenty and twenty-five times for various repre- sentative general market issues.
 Half of the years advance was registered in the first six months of the year. The average opened Janu- HAN Q uV ZEsOo uAAA 0AvSA huSVNovAAAS between 6 low of 44.25 on March IA and a high of 52.7l on June A, closed June 2o at 52.70. This was a gain of over IS per cent for the six months.
 Although more irregular, market action in the last half of the year was also actvie. The first major swing was from 53.0l on July to 58.47 on August 13. Following this, a period of irregularity set in which finally ended with the autumn low of 54.8l on October 3.
 With this low as a starting point, insurance stocks subsequently, made their best sustained advance of the year. The average reached 56.41 on October 26, 58.50 on November g and finally broke through 60 on De- cember to reach the new 1885 high of 61.30 on December Il.

MUCH RAIN FELL
 UP BOSTON WAY

Boston, Jan. 3-(U.P0-Fifty-six lundredth of an inch of rain which, translated into snow, would be five or six inches, had fallen here at g a. m. to-day. It had rained through out the night and the weather bu- reau predicted 1t would continue all day and tonight. In many sec- tions the rain froze on highways, causing hundreds of minor acci- dents. Between New Bedford and Taunton some 40 cars skidded of the road and were unable to pro- ceed.
 An even larger number of machines were stalled along the main highway between Lawrence and Andover. Sanding crews were dispatched in various parts of the state to relieve the hazard. AL though the heavy and incessant rain, accompanied by a 24-mile south wind, extended all along the New England coast to Eastport, Me, no shipping mishaps were reported. Many of the smaller fishing craft remained in port.

 The plan first was adopted exper- mentally last June and after a six months trial was successful 1t was decided to organize on permanent basis. The new contracts became effective yesterday. x
 More Benefits
 In addition to a weekly stipend each worker will receive a share of adjusted compensation" (explained as the employees share of gross bus- iness) at the end of each fiscal year. This. according to Henry Nunn, president, makes 1t possible for the workers income to adjust itself to higher costs of living. This adjusted compensation" :" Nunn said, lis Q fixed percentage of the company's gross business. It does not depend upon the attitude of the management, but is labors guaranteed share of every dollar that comes into the company's treasury.
 Rises Or Falls
 since the percentage is fixed, the workers adjusted compensation rises or falls automatically in direct proportion to an increase or de- crease in business. In periods of prosperity, when prices are rising the company's gross income is larg-- CT. @4tst
 "Hence, this adjustment connpen- sation is greater, enabling the worker to meet the higher NDst of living without lowering his living standard. Tn other words the. for- tl,aes of the ernploye climb and drop with those of the oficials.
 'sIn times of poor business, nat urally, the workers total income, like that of the officials, will be- smaller"
 Because of the present upward splurge of prices, Nunn explained, 1t became apparent that the workers would be able to use @ higher weekly salary instead of waiting uil- til the end of the year for their shere of adjusted compensation. Since company officials realized ern- ployes' share of gross business would be higher materially at the ed of the contract year, 1t was de- cided to raise wages 8 per cent.
