the District during the calendar year
approximately $2,50O,000 q month,
representing death claims, matured
endowments, annuity payments, sur
rendered policies, dividends to policy
holders, and disability and double
indemnity claims.
While it is the individual himself
who has made the sacrifices neces-
sary to provide all these benefits to
his family and himself, it must be
remembered that without the agency
system the results would not be so
impressive.
In order that the public may be
even more intelligently served in the
future, about 200 local life under
writer's have recently completed the
most comprehensive postgraduate"
course of study ever conducted in
Washington, sponsored by the Dis
trict of Columbia Life Underwriters
Association, Inc.
No review of the life insurance
year would be adequate without .
mention of the companies them
selves and how they are, fulfilling
their service responsibilities. The
primary function is to maintain
their unsurpassed solvency. This
they have done, as we'll as adding
to their reserves and paying substan-
tial dividends to policy holders
Further, they have kept pace with
economic conditions in the matter
of policy forms, and many instances
could be given of liberal interpreta-
ton of old policies.

worlds population, we own 10 per
cent of all the life insurance in
existence in the whole world.
History shows that life insurance
as an institution goes hand in hand
with the preservation of democracy.
This may be established by the fact
that life insurance is most widely
owned in this country, together with
England, Canada and France, rep
resenting the greatest democratic
nations in the world
Our people in the Nations Cap
ital and throughout the entire United
States through insurance have de-
veloped the largest single force rep
resenting personal security through
individual initiative.
A few figures give clear evidence
of the stake that the people of the
District hold in the great life insur-
ance fund. They have acquired new
life insurance during 1899 in excess
of 5000 900 per month. Life insur-
ance has returned to the people of

Municipal Bonds Soar
To New Highs on
Bull Market
War Fails to Halt
Demand for Stote,
City Obligations
BY Cambridge Associates.


Doomed by the most respectable
expert opinion with the advent OF
the European war. the bull market
in municipal bonds closed the year
1899 in a burst of strength to new
all-time highs. Even United States
Government bonds were left in the
lurch, although they tagged along
behind. Answer to this unusual Sit
uation lay in the unprecedented
pressing pressure of billions OF dol
lars of idle cash, which proved
greater, in the long run, than fear
of an early end to the easy money
era.
It has been recognized for years
that interest rates would tend to
rise when the demand for credit
reduced idle cash. At the present
time, however, excess reserves stand
at $4,000, ,000,0 as against $l.OOO,-
900 900 at the end of 1887 and So
600 900 900 at the end of 1888.
Commercial loans could be ex-
banded on this base to point which
would make the $4,000, ,000. 900 total
of 1929 look puny without forcing
any appreciable liquidation Of Sc
curity holders. A large number OF
bank and other institution execu-
tives were polled early last year on
the subject of interest rates and the
majority expected very little change
for at least two years. And indeed,
the September-October slump was
so quickly corrected that it might
never have existed.
Stronger Than Before.
At the close of the year, follow
ing two successful Treasury f1nanc-
ing operations, the Government and
municipal market appeared less sus-
ceptible to unsettlement than for
some time, for the reason that weak
holders and "joy riders" had been
shaken out or frightened away.
Further use of revenue bonds IN
1899 developed and improved this
type of obligation. AS moral II

New Car Sales Rise
40 to so Per Cent
BY Cambridge Associates.

BY Cambridge Associates.
Motor car retailing will complete
the year 1899 with a sales record
that most dealers believe highly
satisfactory, declares Frank P.
Tighe, editor of Automobile Trade
Journal. For, despite labor diff
culties at factories and the influence
of the war abroad, new car sales
have been running from 40 to so
per cent better month by month
throughout 1899 in comparison with
1898.
A recent forecast indicates that
more than 26,O00,0 900 passenger cars
will be registered at the end of 1899,
with total registration of all motor
vehicles better than $4,000, 900. 1910.
in prospect, promises to continue
the pace with new car and used car
stocks in a healthy state, and the
prospects for future sales good.

most as much with earning power
and, therefore, with the business
tides, as do most common stocks.
Holders Of high-grade long term
bonds have been warned" so many
times about the inevitable change
in the trend of interest rates-in
1885, 1896, 1887, 1898 and 1899
always without result-that they
can hardly be blamed for being in
clined to ignore more recent prog
nostications that this years pre-war
high will represent the peak Of
high-grade bond prices for a long
time. These warnings may again
prove, as in the last four years, to
have been fright too soon," but
certainly the investor who buys
high-grade bonds at present prices
ought certainly to be aware Of the
speculation he undertakes under
present conditions.
Guessing Money Rates.
Some measure of the risk can be
attained by measuring the effect
upon principal which would derive
from return to the 1929 relation
ship between safety and income re-
turn. For instance, the first mort
gage bond of an operating utility
in the third largest city in the
United States, which has almost
consistently covered its interest
charges by four times or over, sold
in 1929 at 100 to yield per cent.
This bond has since been called and
replaced by 31a per cent issue ma
turing 80 years hence. 1t is selling at a
price Of ITO and yields slightly less
than per cent to maturity. During
this time, there has been no change
in the strong credit standing of the
company, yet if 10 years from now,
money rates should firm up to the
level Of 1929. this bond would have
to sell at 10 to yield per cent or
the then going rate of return. Ger
tainly no investor who places a
premium on safety of principal can
ignore the risks inherent in this
money rate speculation.
On the other hand, buyers of So
called credit" bonds face the ne
cessity of specializing upon the
future earning power of the bor-
rowing corporation no less than do
the common stock holders. To be
sure, they probably average a very
fine coupon return for the risk un-
dertaken, but certainly they must
recognize that many of the strong
est and most promising American
industries and corporations do not
have bonds outstanding and that
those medium grade and speculat tive
obligations which are available are
largely those Of industries and COM
panies operating on more or less of
a marginal basis in the Nation S
economic picture.
