la a good Indication of tho general feol
lng abroad and reflects the greater con
fidence apparent In tho uturo of Ameri

Commerce Commission decision to re

the general belief that tho rate ad
vances to bo asked by the Western lines
will be granted.
A London cable says that Government
actlcn In some form looking toward tno

pected to follow tho announcement of an
extension of the moratorium to November
4, when nil forms of moratorla aro to
case. Action may take tho form of a
guarantco by tho Government of unsettled
accounts.
A governor of the New York Stock Ex
ehansc. when questioned regarding the
reopening of the Exchange, following tho
announcement of resumption of trading In
unlisted securities, said that he could see
no reason why the Exchange should not
bo opened again by November 1, provided
the Federal Iteservo Bystem Is In oper
ation by that time.

dent of the Chase National Bank. Mr.
TVlBKln notified Governor Hamlin, of tho
Federal Reserve Board, that sufficient
subscriptions had been secured to assure
the success of tho project and to warrant
the board In giving Its approval to tho
plan.
Early advices from banks In Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston and other cities In
dicate that those Institutions aro ready
to give up their quota as soon as they
are called upon to do so.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
PROTEST NEW STAMP TAX
Say Scheme, Now Before Congress, Is
Injustice to Policyholders.
Protests aro being mado by life Insur
ance companies throughout the country
against tho proposed stamp tax of 8
cents per $100 on all new policies, which
ds provided In tho emergency revenue bill
now pending.
Georgo K. Johnson, president of tho
Penu Mutual Llfo Insurance Company,
said today:
"Wo look up tho question of making a
United protest to Congress with other llfo
Insurance companies, but tho responses:
received were generally to tho effect that
Individual action was better at this time.
We sent letters to Congressmen on tho
subject, and other companies have done
the same, but have little liopo of having
this provision of the emergency tax bill
eliminated. Our protest was mado on tho
ground that It Is unjust to tax savings,
and llfo lnsuranca Is merely a form of
savings."
Asa 8. Wnlg, president of tho Provident
Llfo and Trust Company, said his com
pany would mako no formal protest "be
cause we regard It as helpless to have
It changed.
Asa S, Wing, prcsldonl of the Provident
hard to get legislators to sco that llfo
Insurance Is a form of savings," he de
clared, "Tho Idea seems to bo to hit
capital wherever It appears. Wo aro
already, heavily taxed, As for our own
company, wo will be doubly taxed under
the pending measure. It provides for a
tax on capital and surplus of banking In
stitutions, and In the Insurance depart
ment there Is tho stamp tax on now
policies. Altogether It will amount to
about $50,000 a year for our company."

The European war situation may lead
directly to a complete dissolution of tho
North Atlantic steamship pool, which
has existed for many years between tho
prlncipat Kngllsh and German steamship
lines operating between this country,
Canada and Europe. The basis of oper
ation of tho pool was an agreement
whereby each of tho lines affiliated with
It was allowed every year a certain al
lotment of tho total steerage travel on
the North Atlantic.
It Is understood that because of the
extreme bitterness which now exists be
tween the English and Germans, tho Eng
lish members of the pool will mako an
agreement with tho United States Gov
ernment to have dropped by it tho suit
recently brought under tho provisions of
the Sherman nntl-trust law to dissolve
the combination. A consent decreo will
probably bo entered in tho United States
Supremo Court which shall enjoin tho
English lines from entering any future
agreement with German stenmshln In.
terests covering ocean passenger traffic.
This action may be taken within tho
next two weeks by counsel representing
somo of tho English lines.
Under the terms of tho agreement,
which was made In London In 1501. the

with the pool weie allotted percentages
of tho total stcorago travel on tho North
Atlantic as follows:
Westbound. Allan Line, .62 per cent;

Municipal ownership of electric light,
heat and power plants In this country Is
making rapid strides. Tho theory that
municipalities can construct and operate
public utility plants more economically
and with greater efficiency than can ex-
pert representing private corporations,
while It has not been proved to any con
clusive oxtnnt, Is, nevertheless, gaining
ground. This Is made plain In a report
Just Issued by the United States Census
Hurcau covering the ten-year period from
1802 to 1912.
In tho period, the number of municipal
plants Increased from 815 to 15C2, or 91.7
per cent., while tho privately owned plants)
increased from 2603 to 3t9, or 30.1 per
cent.
In 1002 moro than 22 per cent, of the
stations wcro municipally owned. Ten
years later tho percentage of such sta
tions had Increased to substantially 30
per cent, of tho whole number. In total
Income tho commercial stations had 92.3
per cent,, which was greater than In
1902, when tho commercial stations con
stituted a larger percentage of the total.
In that year they received only 91.9 per
cent, of tho total.
MUNICIPAL OUTPUT REDUCED.
Tho municipal stations. In output, fell
much behind In the decade. In 1902 they
produced 7.8 per cent, of the kilowatt
hours, while In 1912 their production fell
to only 4.7 per cent., which Is less than
tholr percentage In 1907, when It was 4.9
per cent. While tholr relative production
fell oft so greatly, tho municipal plants
greatly Increased the capacity of their
gas nnd oil engines, having no less than
20.2 per cent, of such engines In 1912.
Hut, while the percentage of gas and
oil pnglnes owned by tho municipal plants
Increased so largely, the total horsepower
oi an engines, turuines, waterwhcels,
etc., fell oft from 8.7 per cent. In 1902 to
7.4 per cent. In 1912. The kilowatt capac
ity of tho municipal dynamos also ran
down from 9.4 per cent, to 7.2 per cent
In 1912.
The total Income of municipal stations
Increased from $6,965,105 in 1902 to $23 -21S.9S9
in 1912, or 233.4 per cent. That of
the commercial or privately owned plants
Increased from $55,700,605 to $302,136,599, at
252.5 per cent.
Tho total expenses. Including ordinary
repairs and a proper depreciation account
In tho municipal plants, increased from
$5,215,937 In 1912 to $16,917,165 In 1912. an
Increase or 222.5 pec cent. The total ex
penses of the commercial plants rose from
$6S,teUi3 to $231,419,478, or 214.3 per cent.
For that Increase in total expenses the
commercial plants brought about an In--crease
In kilowatt hours, from 2,507,051,115
to 11,532,953,000, or nn Incrense of 360 per
cent. For their Increase of expenses the
municipal plants brought about an In
crease of kilowatt hours of only 174.4
hours. In tho increase. In figures, being
from 195,901,439 to 537.526.730.
During the five-year period from 1907 to
1912, appioxlmately 106 commercial stations
passed Into the hands of municlDallties
nnd SO passed out of the hands of muni
cipalities Into tho hands of private opera
tors. The greatest increase in municipal
stations took placo In a group of- states
composed of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
tho Dakatas, Nebraska and Kansas. The
number In those states Jumped from 274

CHICAGO, Sept 23.-Wheat was Irreg
ular today, but the tone generally was
heavy. The best upward movement whs
Just after the opening. The low points
were VA to l'i cents below csterday's
finals. Exporters made cnnepsstlnna hr.ro
and at Winnipeg, where there was an
excellent demand. Actual riuantltles re
ported sold were not up to expectations.
The volume of speculation was small.
This, with easier markets nbroad and
continued, free arrivals at primary points,
more than offset the new export invest
ment and speculative buying. Interior
receipts today were 2,239.000 bushels.
Cash sales were 60.000 bushels. Futures
closed 4 to H. cent lower.

wheat and flour for tho week at 6,859,633
bushels against 5,9SO,263 bushels last jear
and from July 1 to date at S6,023.,469 bush

Government Inspectors Re
port Greater Care Being
Taken by Railroads of
Country to Insure Safety.
Greater care Is being taken by th
railroads of the country in keeping their
locomotives In good condition. This in
shown by reports of the Interstate Com
merce Commission covering the Inspec
tions of locomotives by tho commission'
BO Inspectors In the last threo years.
Tho reports show that the number of
locomotives Inspected has Increased and,
the number found defective in any way
has decreased.
For Instanci1, thero were 74,234 locomo
tives Inspected In 1912. Of this number
f'.7 per cent, were found with some
slight defects. Last year the number in
spected was 90,3j6, and 60 3 per cent, were
found defective. This year 92,716 have
been inspected, and only 62 9 per cent,
were found with defeits. Many of these
defects, however, were not In violation
of the law. The defects that were In
violation of tho law represented 4.S per ,
cent. In 1912, 5.2 per cent, last year and
3.6 per cent, this year. ,
The greatest trouble from accidents
has bopn, according to Frank McMan
amy, chief Inspector of locomotive boil--crs
of the Interstato Commerce Com
mission, with the failure of arch tubes,
and four out of five of the accidents ax
caused by their Improper application.
The greatest care being exercised in
this direction by the rallroadR Is reflected
In a material reduction In the number
of accidents due to the failure of loco
motive boilers and their appurtenances.

years follows:
