Cosmopolitan's Purchase of Old
Corporation's Assets Gives Un
divided Profit Fund.
The Cosmopolitan Life Insurance
Company, of Atlanta, Georgia, a new
organization bearing the name of tr
old concern, has been licensed by the
State of Georgia and Is expected to
play an Important part Iti the insur
ance world. The new company has no
relation to the old one beyond taking
over Its assets. The license was Is*
iuef after a thorough inspection of
the company's asset* and liabilities
and of the men hacking It.
A unique Instance In connection
with the formation of the company
was that the entire amount subscribed
had no chartte against it, President J.
O. Wynn handling this work without
recompense. The stock was sub
scribed on a 2 to 1 basis, each sub
scriber for $100 worth of stock putting
in $100 to the surplus fund as a
straightout contribution. The com
pany starts business with a capita:
Block and surplus of $260,036.
Undivided Profit Fund.
It has a fund of undivided profits
amounting to *1108,539.70 acquire 1
from the purchase of the assets >f
the old company. This does not in
clude stock notes amounting to $13< f -
478.62, upon which the new corn pa nv
expects to realize approximately $50,-
000.
• Thus,” say the officers of the com
pany, “it Is apparent that the sto?k
of the new company subscribed at ac
tual cash of 2 to 1 has a book value
of more than 3 to 1 at the outset.
The following ntatenmnt has been
given out by the company:
“The Cosmopolitan Life Insurance
Company, of Atlanta, Georgia. Is in
entirely new and independent com
pany. It has no connection with th°
old company of that name excent
that It bought It* assets at public sale.
An entirely new company was organ
ized to take over these assets.
“So great was the faith of the
»to(kholder« in the new company that
on tile day of organl*atlo,n they »;ib-
Bnibcd themselves to more than $•'".-

CHICAGO, May 2.—The inter Ocean
says; "The local long interest in wheat
has been reduced somewhat of late.
Traders cajl attention to the efforts tp
bull the market for a week with indif
ferent success and were inclined to look
for lower prices to-day should good rains
come in Kansas, and if foreign markets
show a decline.
•It is said by those who know that the
recent heavy selling of corn by the Ar
mour Grain Company bus been to take
profits on their purchases of the past
two months. Hears are talking a larg
er movement, while the bulls regard the
situation as one in which there is little
money to be made on either side for the
present. They believe that corn is
worth the money and do not look for
much change in prices until some new
factor develops of sufficient Importance
to largely increase trade either way."

NF/YY ORLEANS, May 2.- This morn
ing’s map shows that the cold wave re
mained stationary over the Rockies dur
ing the past twenty-four hours. < louay
weather prevails over the western half;
generally fair in the eastern half; warm
er generally; no rain. Prospects are
that the extensive rainstorm formation
now over Arizona and New Mexico will
move eastward over Northwest Texas
ami Oklahoma and enure unsettled ami
rainv weather in the Western States,
while fair weather will continue over
the eastern half of the belt. The cold
wave should follow in tit*' wake of the
stortn area, but nothing definite can be
said about Its course before to-morrow.
While there Is no positive political news,
the advance in consols and rentes re
flect* an improvement In views.
Liverpool was strong at the opening
of our markets, but weakened consid
erably in the last hour. Sales continue
large. Total. 10.000 bales to-day, at 12
'mints higher quotations.
After the rather extensive covering
of yesterday, our market ruled quiet
and easier this morning. Absence of
bad weather overnight and prospects
of bearish mill takings this afternoon
diminished support. New York advices
ire still to the effect that the general
diort interest is large, and the larger
interests are in favor of further reac
tion.
The contract market is quiet, consid
ering the possibility of further oas'noss
on bearish mill takings, but the e is nr,
great desire to sell. Whether develop

proving politics hold action in suspense

In Wool Market
Many Mills Will Close Down Until
Tariff Changes Are Made—6ales
and Values Off.
BOSTON. May 2.—Sales of wool
have dropped again, with the small
business done largely at the expense
of values, owintc to conflicting re
ports from Washington regarding the
tariff. The trade la nervous. Dealers
and manufacturers are likely to pro
ceed cautiously until the bill has
passed.
Recent sales have reduced to a con
siderable extent burdensome stocks
of certain grades and the market Is
now In fairly good shape to meet the
proposed tariff changes.
Predictions are freely made that
iriany mills will close down for longer
or shorter terms or until the tariff
uncertainty is removed.
