THE STOCK MARKET NEW YORK.—The opening trading in stocks was rather quiet and price changes were small and showing mixed gains and losses. Running sales of 5.000 shares of Steel were made at 661-2 and 661-4, compared with the close of 66 6-8 Thursday. The brief drive against the market shook out enough stocks to put the prices below Thursday's closing but the losses were not important outside of the Reading and the Metal group. Buying to cover shorts restored the railroad list to Thursday night's level again and much of the loss elsewhere was also retrieved. The upward trend of the prices continued but at a lessening pace. Trading was very dull by noon. Bonds were irregular. Increasing firmness developed as the day progressed, but there con tinued to he a dearth of interest In the market. Transactions are few. Open.

The democrat who slandß by the ac tion of the party convention and bows to the will of the majority, even though the majority has run counter to his own views, is the answer to the question, "What is a Democrat?" Unless democrats learn, as the repub licans have learned, to stand by the action of a majority of the party, we cannot hope to be successful. We must, learn the lesson of subscribing to the conclusions of the majority be fore we can teach methods of party ivleWs. —Richmond Journal. PRETTY MORNING JACKET.

A remarkable spirit of liberality to ward its policy-holders is again the striking feature of the periodical state ment or report of tho Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, a summary of which is published this week. The attitude of this great financial organization toward tho millions individuals who have relations with it invites comment, and affords some grounds for interesting comparisons. Broadly speaking, the inducements offered by responsible life insurance companies to insurable persons are of two kinds. One consists in a propo sition to carry a definite amount of “straight" insurance at low coat; the other offers innumerable plans by which in return for excessive premium payments the person insured is to "participate” in the earnings of the company, receiving benefits that are not definitely stalod in Ihe policy it self. The first plan appeals to the man of judgment as a clear-cut busi ness contract under which all oblige tions are mutually understood. The other appeals to tho speculative In stinct, and demands a higher degree of confidence in the insuring company, which carefully avoids an absolute guarantee of benefits proportioned to the high rates demanded. j The Metropolitan Life ! sells “straight” insurance only; that is, it promises to pay at death, or at the expiration of your policy, a fixed sum plainly written in Ihe contract. As a matter of course, it must soil this insurance at a cost low enough to se cure business in competition with all the big insurance companies. Having Issued such a policy, the company Inis no further obligations under its tesms until the specified benefits are due and payable. The person insured is satisfied witli his contract and expects only that It will be exactly carried out. So far as we know, any great, financial or mercantile organization would consider snob a contract final. But at this point the Metropolitan Life chooses to temper hunl-ami fast business methods hv Injecting a little “soul’’ into Its after relations witli the man who holds its policy. It must bo kept in mind thnt the actual cost of insuring a life can never by any human foresight be calculated in advance with absolute exactness. The death rate in a given population varies from year to year; the earn ings of Invested funds are hound to be greater or less through periods of prosperity and depression, the cost of operating tne company's business will each year bear a different propor tion to the number and value of poli cies in force, Insurance must be sold at a price based upon its probable future cost under these varying con ditions, and the safety of the company, upon which all its policyholders de pend for protection, must be assured by estimating the cost as high as past experience has proven necessary. The business of the Metropolitan Life lias increased tremendously year by year, while its operating expenses, proportioned to the vast amount of In surance carried, grow steadily less Ordinarily the resulting gains would he considered a legitimate reward of enterprise under capable management, in which the policyholders have no interest; but this particular Insurance company chooses to share It* prosper ity with them by paying bonuses and increasing benefits The report just issued makes a re markable showing The company In ten years has re duced the ratio of expense to premium income on Its business in all depart ments JS per cent. In the industrial department alone the reduction ac compllshed in the past five years amounts to 8 per cent this last Item representing a total of three and a half million dollars. These great gains are being used to Increase the benefits !0 per cent, on ail policies in force since January 1, 1907. As to policies dated previous to Jan uary 1, 1907. a bonus of 8 per cent of the premiums is given for a year on ail policies over five year* old, and increased benefits are allowed FINANCIAL Choosing a Bank: Is one of the most IMPORTANT acts in the career of any flfm or In dividual. A good banking connection is of MATERIAL help to one. If you have no bank account, or desire to change your present ar rangements, we offer you the excellent facilities of this bank.
