483,687 head in 1889. As a result, 31,740 car-loads of
live stock of all kinds were received at the Union Stock
Yards the present year, against 38,614 car-loads last
year and 21,095 car-loads the year before.
The St.

against 4,334 (we are quoting from the statement furnished by the Chicago correspondent of the Evening
Post), showing that the increase in jts earnings did not
come from that source, but came from the larger springwheat movement. The Burlington & Quincy, on the

CONNEGTICVT MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY.
Mr, Jacob L. Greene, the distinguished President of this larg«
made his report to the members, or policyholders, which will be foimd at some length in another
column. Among the prominent life companies of the United
States the Connecticut Mutual has become noted for the conservatism of its methods and its protection of the interests of
policy holders in giving them the utmost safety for their investment. The business of the year and the status of the company are fully set forth in Mr. Greene's report, which should
be carefully read by all who are now in the company, or who
contemplate taking out new insurance. It is possible here to
notice only the salient points, and among these should be mentioned the fact that expenses of management in 1890 were
only 9'37 per cent of the income, against 9'98 in 1889, a ratio
which was lower than that of any other company. On the Slst

every one acquainted with the Manchester Eximiner and
Times is fully aware, there are few men better posted on
questions connected with the history of the great Whig or
Liberal pirty in the British Isles.
If his book is different
from Mr. Fronde's Beaoonsfield, it is not because it is of inferior merit but because the subject is different
and the
treatment is in harmony with the subject.
If Dr. Dunckley
has erred at all, it is in giving so much space to family antecedents and to the earlier and less important part of Lord
;
Melbourne's
life.
William Lamb, the second Viscount Melbourne, and future
Premier, was born at Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire, March 13,
1779. His father, the first who held the title, was the descendant of a long line of highly respoctable ancestors, who
through the practice of law, through ecclesiastical appointments in the Church, and otherwise, had contrived to amass a
large fortune. One half of this fortune, fully half a miUion
of povmds sterling, a big sum in those days, having fallen to
him, he was by-and-by raised to the peerage as Baron
Melbourne of Kilmore, in the County of Gavan, Ireland.* His
mother was of the family of Milbank, of Halmaby, Yorkshire.
William was the second son and at the outset of life he had
but a dim prospect of succeeding to the family honors. He
was at the age of eleven sent to Eton, where among his classfellows he had John Bird Sumner, afterwards Archbishop of
Canterbury, Charles Elli=, afterward Lord Stuart de Rothesey,
the Marquis of Tullibardine, Charles Stuart who became third
Marquis ^of Londonderry, and the famous Beau Brummel.
From Eton he went to Trinity College, Cambridge, and later
he spent two sessions at the University of Glasgow, under the
special guardianship ot Professor MUlar. At both Eton and
Cambridge he won distinction.
At the college debating

was potent, and while gradually coming
rank of his party he contributed mightily to the
Liberal victory in 1833. In 1834, such was his ascendency in
the councils of the Whigs, that on the retirement of Earl
Grey the King, William IV., sent for Lord Melbourne. Dr.
Dunckley tells the story of this psriod with much spirit.
The King was pronouncedly on the side of the Tories. His
desire was to have Peel in power, and he resorted to many
shifts to accomplish his purpose.
But the House of Commons
refused to submit to the King's interference, notably by the
removal of Lord Altborp, reckoned the ablest Liberal in the
Commons, to the Upper House and, an appeal having been
made to the people. Lord Melbourne was re-established on his
seat as First Lord of the Treasury.
The most pleasing part of Lord Melbourne's career, and to
the general reader probably the most interesting, begins with
the accession of Queen Victoria, She was but a girl in years,
having barely come of age when she was called to the throne.
She had been peculiarly trained. Her only companions had
been her mother and the Countess Leizen.
She had no training whatever for public Ufe. It was a great change to her

dom and strength. In Lord Melbourne she found both.
From the morning on which she was aroused from her slumbers, and summoned before the Council to take the oaths
customary on the occasion of succession to the throne, on to
1841, when Sir Robert Peel came into power, more than a year
after her marriage, Melbourne was her constant companion
and tutor. Dr. Dunckley calls him Regius Professor. The
history and principles of the Constitution, the functions of the
various parts of the Governmentr— the Crown, the Lords, the
Commons, the Judiciary, and the relations sustained by the
Government to the Church and by the Church to the Government—all these might have been taught theoretically by some
learned professor but Melbourne knew and was skilled in the
practical workings of the great Government machine.
He lived at the Castle. At his farewell interview with Queen
Victoria he could say that for the previous four years he had
seen her every day.
He took her dispatches to her every
morning. After lunch he rode out with her, one of a numerous
cavalcade, but taking his place next to her. At dinner it was
80 arranged that he had his seat always at her side.
Baron
Stockmar, who had been sent to Windsor, and who was kept
there for family reasons by the King of the Belgians, was his
only rival; but Melbourne had little difficulty in keeping the
Baron in his place. Stockmar's biographer says: "Lord Mel;

language, but he does not conceal hiu conviction that His
Lordship was to blame. It was an awkward situation for a
place to repeat the story.
prime minister. Mr. Norton sued for damages. The case
went before a jury and Lord Melbourne was acquitted. Mrs.
Norton continued to be one of his favored correspondents to
the very end. Another episode was the difficulty about the
Ladies of the Household. The Government sustained defeat
over a Jamaica bill. Lord Melbourne advised the Queen to
send for the Duke of Wellington, who in turn advised her to
send for Sir Robert Peel. Sir Robert made it a sine qua non
of his acceptance that the ladies of the Household be changed.
The young Queen thought it hard enough to part with Melbourne. She refused to give her consent to any interference
with her female associates. The result was that Sir Robert
made no further effort to form a ministry and that Melbourne
and his friends resumed office. Melbourne's ministerial period

The Reform bill had for the time, partially at least, satisfied the hunger for change, and the youth of the Queen made
radical legislation unadvisable. He made some good Church
appointments. One of these illustrates the man and his ways.
He had resolved to appoint Dr. Connop Thirl wall to the See of
St. Davids, and had asked Dr. Thirlwall to come and see him.
When Thirlwall arrived he was immediately received. He found
Melbourne in bed surrounded with letters and newspapers.
"Very glad to see you," he began. " Sit down, sit down

The general death rate of 1890 was considerably increased
by the prevalence of winter epidemics, and we did not wholly
escape their effects. But our mortality has been well within

INVESTMENT OPERATIONS INTEREST AND RENTS.
:
The
interest income shows a natural increase over the previous year. The rents have dimmished in volume, though
not in percentage, by reason of the continued sale of real
estate, the funds from which pass into interest- bearing securities, which , during the year of sale and re-investment, aflfect the
item of accrued interest more than that of interest received.
It is a satisfaction to us to learn that another companyone of the largest in New England— is seriously considering
the reduction of the rate of interest assumed in its calculations from 4 per cent to 3 per cent, thus practically indorsing
the like action of this csmpany in 1883, in which we have
hitherto stood alone. Each year's experience increases our
satisfaction at having taken so important a step at so early a
date, and before its necessity exerts an actual pressure on existmg contracts.
PROFIT AND LOSS.
During 1800 the company completed sales of three pieces of
real estate at a loss of $5,729 20 on its cost, and of
forty-one
pieces at a profit of $397,147 17 over cost, a net gain of
5291,417 97. From the sale and exchange of securities and

Economy is a modest quality. It does not dazzle the imagination with the glitter of its effects. It quietly nourishes its
charge into great fruitfulaess; but it is suggestive of restrained and calculated effort rather than of that unbounded
ambition which grasps so widely as to compal the
of all
possible means regardless of their cost. Magnitude of operations and boldness of enterprise are to-day chief attractions
constantly dwelt upon by most of the great companies to win
the applause of an enterprising public, regardless of their unprecedented and enormous expense. The sober way is for the
moment discredited with the majority for its want of brilliancy.
But the truth never changes to suit our mools or ambitions.
Security being assured, the thing of chief importance
to the policy-holder is the individual yearly cost of his policy.
He is the man that pays the expenses. His premiums pay the
losses and expenses, and furnish the invested assets that earn
the interest. No one else is doing it for him. Many of the
companies that a few years ago took only $10 to $15 for expenses out of every $100 of premiums and interest are to-day
taking from $30 to |35— all for the race for magnitude. That
extra $10 or $15 for expenses out of every $100 comes also out
of the policy holder. What is magnitude to him that he
should So dearly pay for it? It maikes his policy no more
secure; it does not otherwise lessen its cost one dollar.
And to whom does the management of a mutual company
owe a duty that should control all its methods if not to those
who already and solely compose it its present policy holders ?
have been and still are held up to cliscredit by the
Racers, because at one time we allowed our business to shrink
in volume rather than incur such an increase in expense and
use such adventurous methods as atone would then have
allowed it to grow; and because, since it began again to grow
without increase of cost or change of method, we have cared
more to keep down its cost than for rapid growth. What is
rapid growth worth to a mutual company of 64,000 policyholders for $153,000,000 that they should pay an extra and
heavy cost for it ?
are giving insurance to our present members at the
lowest cost attainable to-day lower on the average and
as to the whole body than any other company; we are
taking on new business on terms which make it profitable to
present policy-holders; we are taking it on faster than the old
is going off; humanly speaking, the perpetuity of the company
at its present rate of prosperous increase is secure.

EFFECT ON AGENTS.
By
far the largest item of the expense account, the thing in
it which costs the policy holder most, is the compensation to
agents, who are engaged in the business as a means of livelihood and to whom, therefore, every increase in commissions
by a rival company is a powerful incentive to change their
connection and a source of discontent if they do not so change.
The companv which pays the highest coiiimission will draw
to it at last all the agents who care only for the commission
and nothing for what becomes of their customer afterwards.
It will get most of the new men entering upon agency work,

because they have shared in our conviction that this should
be a policyholder's company, and have not been willing for
a price to offer the public that which they could not themselves believe in, at a cost which they knew could not be justified.
Against the temptation of speculations, rebates and
every extravagance of competition they have made a hard,
slow fight. It is now a winning fight, and they deserve the
respect of our membership and its cordial co-operation in the
greater opportunity which lies before them.
We desire to extend to all who need them the same benefits
upon the same terms which, through forty-five years, have
made this company a conspicuous exponent of the singular
value to American homes of pure life insurance. Our ability
to serve was never so great, our ground never before so certain.
We ask every member to use actively his infiuence
with those whose families need protection, to the end that we
may widen our usefulness, not only without increase of cost in
so doing, but in a way which shall tend to benefit present
policy holders as well as new-comers.
THE CALL FOR EEF0KM8.
Apropos of these matters,
it is of the highest interest to note
of the severest critics of our conservative course
and most strenuous workers for a great volume of new business are now trying to secure concerted action to reform the
methods by which they have worked their results. The significance of this is far-reaching. Unfortunately for the success of
«ich a purpose, they abate none of the ambitions which led to
the vicious methods and which compel their use until a more
flonservative standard of success shall be accepted.
Meantime, it is a profound satisfaction to know that thus
ever^ step in reform must lead back to the ground we have
persistently held and hold to-day without need of change.

Attention is called to the thirty-first annual statement of
the Home Life Insurance Company in our columns to-day.
This statement shows assets of over seven millions of dol lars,
and a surplus of $1,513,680 73.
The bonds and stocks owned
by the company are also set forth in this showing, a good
plan, enabling policy holders to see where their funds have
been carefully invested, and to judge for themselves of the
safety of the securities. The officers managing the company's
affairs are well known in insurance and business circles as
both competent and energetic, and under the present management of the Home those who are insured in it may expect to
have their interests looked after as well in the f uiure as they
have been in the past.

The engagement of $1,750,000 in gold for export has attracted some attention, and the circumstance that it is matie
possible by the rates of exchange between London and Berlin
does not alter the main fact that the gold leaves the country.
With the unusually large surplus in our banks at the present
time the bearing of this on the money market is of minor importance.
The open market rates for call lo as during the week no
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from IJ^ to 4 p. c, the

Forelgru Exchange.—The market for sterling bills has been
very strong, and rates for short bills have advanced to near
the specie-shipping point. The chief cause for this firmness is
found in the small amount of commercial bills offering and in
the fact that London is rather a seller than buyer of our securities.
There has been engaged tor export about $1,750,000 of
gold, which is said to be for Berlin account. Actual rates are:

State and Railroad Bonds.— State bonds have been dull
at prices a shade easier. Sales include $13,000 Tennessee settlement 3s at 71@71i^, $4,000 5s at 101, $.5,000 6s at 103^ §
104; $5,000 Alabama "A" at 103)^; $30,000 Virginia det. tr.
rec's., stamped, at 8idS^.
Railroad bonds have shown activity in a few issues, with a
tendency to lower prices. The Atchison bonds have been
most conspicuous, especially the incomes, which have declined on considerable sales and close to-dav at 43^, agains.
48}^ last week; the mortgage 4s close at 78 J^, against 79^ ,
Rio Grande Western 4s have held their advance fairly well,
and Reading bonds have generally been stronger, the gen*
mort. 4s closing at 81^8. Rock Island 5s were quite active in
small lots at 97>a97%. Northern Pacific consol. 5s. have been
quite a feature, selling down to 83V to-day. Richmond
West Point collat. trust 5s have sold fairly and close at 74i^.

Railroad and Miscellaneons Stocks. The stock market has
been narrow, and in spite of a movement in one stcxjk or another from day to day, the general changes have been small.
In the past few days the bearish traders have been a trifle
more confident, and they have talked of the export of specie,
Atchison's operating expenses, Mr. Gould's cold, Mr. Norton's
resignation, and other things of similar import. It has also
been urged that London has lately been a seller of our securities.
Atchison has been among the weak stcxjks, and, influenced somewhat by the considerable sales of its bonds at declining prices, closes at 27i>^, against 39J^ last week, Louisville & Nashville was sold freely on Thursday, owing to the
resignation of Mr, Norton as President, though this was because he had brought up the company to a strong position
rather than from any weakness in its affairs. Richmond Terminal was strong early in the week on the belief that the
Southern trip of Mr, Gould and the Terminal people would
lead to closer alliances of Southern systems, but later it has
sold off again and closes at 18J^, The North American stock,
though not keeping up to its highest figures, has been a feature, and Edison General Electric on small transactions
holds its price pretty well. The Trust stocks and unlisted
specialties have not been particularly active.
Sugar had
pretty large sales to-day, and after declining from 74'^ to 72
advanced to 75 at the close, against 73}J last week; Lead
closes at 19^, against 195g; Cotton Oil Trust receipts 21,
against 213^. Silver has shown a declining tendency, and certificates closed at 100 J^, against 101 J^ last Friday.
To-day the tone was drooping and prices generally lower,
led by Chicago Gas, Burlington and Atchison.
Susquehanna
Western was an exception, and the stock sold up to 87X for
the preferred and 10 for the common.

increase in the earnings from freight traflBc was the
result of an additional amount of tonnage carried and a higher
average rate received per ton per mile during 1890. as compared with 1889. This increase in earnings would have been
greater had there not been a slight decrease in the average
haul, which produced a similar reduction in the ton mileage.
The local fr.Mght earnings increased $54,669, or 16 93-100 per
cent. Of this amount $51,123 was in the earnings received
from the transportation of bituminous coal. The increase in
the earnings from through freight traffic was $34,037, or
8 13-100 per cent. The coal tonnage increased from 439,667
tons in 1889 to 554,071 in 1890, an addition of 134,404 tons, or
29 per cent, while the revenue from this source augmented
from $151,256 in 1889 to $203,379 in 1890, an increase of $51,183, or 83 8 10 per cent.

stock, or about $8,000,000 out of the $14,000,000, is held
in trust by the Farmers' Loan
Trust Company as trustees for
E. R. Bacon, Robert Garrett

This stock was put in trust June 23, 1890, and the trust
expires Jnly 1, 1893. This stock holds the control of B.

Of this stock the Garretts own $5,000,000, Richmond Terminal Company $400,000, and the balance by
Sage, Pittsburg people, myself and one or two others. The
fact is that E. R. Bacon has been securing an option 00 the
purchase of this trust stock. He applied to me and I gave him
the option on the stock I controlled.
I do not know whether
he is acting for Mr. Gould or not.
It is true that Mr. Gould
has been adding to his holdings of R. T. stock.
He held at
the time of the election 30,000 shares. Within the last three
weeks he has probably increased his holdings to about 30,000
shares. General Thomas holds about 40,000 shares.

especially to the large excess of the visible supply in the
of the world. But on Monday there was a stronger
opening, and for a time there was some appearance of buoyancy, with a moderate degree of activity to the dealings, the
effect of a demand to cover contracts, stimulated by a stronger
report from Liverpool, which came quite unexpectedly, and
admonished the bears that their position was becoming somewhat precarious. But in the last hour the advance was lost
imder a rumor that a report would come next day from the
Department of Agriculture at Washington showing that the
quantity of cotton remaining on plantations on the first of
February was much larger than at the same date last year.
This report came on Tuesdav, and was not regarded either here
or in Liverpool as verifying the rumors regarding its cliaracter.
At any rate, the report was followed by a quick recovery of
the early decline. On Wednesday, favored by a smart advance in Liverpool, there was some further improvement in
this market, but it was not well-maintained, the speculation
showing little spirit. On Wednesday an early advance, on a
stronger report from Liverpool, was soon lost, and some further decline took place under full receipts at the interior
towns, causing moderate selling to realize. To-day there was
a sharp decline, the Bulls again showing want of confidence,
and unloading quite freely, although Liverpool reported the
loss of only a small part of her recent advance, and the close

the next crop have been reported rather better, causing depression in speculative prices. An estimate of the supplies
in the hands of farmers on the Ist of February puts the total
at 80,000 bushels, aRainst 15rt,0(
bushels on the corresponding date last year, and cable accounts generally have been
stronger. These influences, with more active spot markets,
nave given an impetus to prices of wheat for immediate and
early delivery. Local millers have been liberal buyers of
choice grades of sprinu; wheat at $1 17@$1 181^ and No. 2
nd wmter to arrive at |1 13; and on Tuesday 8a,000 bushels
were taken for L'sbon. Today firmer cables and reports of

Indian corn shows depression, but the most conspicuous
declines are in the distant options. Supplies come forward
to Western markets quite freely, but, as is usually the case
at the beginning of the cotton-planting season, the denmnd
from the South is urgent and the quantity reaohing the seaboard continues small. Slight reductions in prices have \>een
sufficient, in conjunction with low rates of freight and full
rates for exchange, to promote a moderate revival of exports
to Oreat Britain, for which the sales yesterday included No.
2 white at 64@64J^c. in elevator. Today the market was
more active for export and prices of futures advanced, sympathizing to some extent with the rise in wheat. The export
business includnd No. 2 mixed at 63@fl33^c., No. 2 yellow at
^H®^^%<^-< both in elevator.

Oats have been dull and weak. The decline is more decided in white than in mixed grades. Speculative confidence has been wanting and tiere was none of the export
inquiry which, at slight declines, came to the support of
wheat and corn. To-day there was a partial recovery in
values, but a slow trade and little spiculation.

of the country have apparently been doing a fairly satisfactory business, judging by the numerous re-orders for certaia
fabrics that came for svard by mail and wire during the week.
As for some time past, there was a good, steady movement in
spring goods domestic and foreign on account of back
orders. The jobbing trade was a trifle more active, but there
is still plenty of room for improvemeBt.
Prices of both foreign and domestic fabrics remain steady, and asligbt advance
was made on print cloths at the manufacturing centres.
DoMBsno CX)TTON QooDS, The exjwrts of cotton goods
from this port for the week ending Feb. 10 were 9,052
packages, valued at $476,410, their destination being to the
points specified in the table below

Friday F. M., February 13, 1891.
Business in commission and imjiorting circles continued
moderate the past week. There was a considerable force of
out-of-town wholesale buyers in the market, but their operations were chiefly of a hand-to mouth character, and comparatively light ia the aggregate amount. Accounts from
some of the principal distributing points in the West and
Southwest were more favorable, and jobbers in those sections

Domestic Woolen Goods. The demand for heavy woolen
goods for men's wear was barely up to expectations, clothiers
aving placed their initial orders with a good deal of conservatism; but a very fair amount of business wa) transacted
during the week by the representativfs of the principal
woolen mills. Heavy fancy cassimeres were in irregular demand, but very considerable orders were placf d for union,
cotton-warp and low and medium all-wool makes. Heavy
piece-dyed and fancy worsted suitings also were in irregular
request, but a pr«-tty good business was done in a few of the
most popular makes. Prices of the above-named fabrics remain firm and unchanged. For spring cassimeres and lightweight worsteds there was a steady, though moderate, duplication demand by the clothing trade. Overcoatings were in
moderate request, with most relative activity in kerseys, and
there was a light business in cloakings, stockinets, doeskin
jeans, satinets, flannels and blankets. Worsted and soft-wool
dress fabrics continued fairly active, and stocks are so wellia
hand that prices remain firm.
Foreign Dry Goods.— The demand for foreign fabrics was
a trifle more active, and a moderate busineso in some descriptions was done by importers and jobbers. Prices ruled steady
and stocks are not considered redundant in view of the demand in sight. The feature of the weak was a perpmptory
auction sale of 70,000 dozen hosiery and gloves, the importation f Klein, Harriman & Co.
There was a very large attendance of buyers at the sale, and hosiery brought fairly

The demand for plain at,d colored cotloi-s at first hands was
steady but moderate, and a fair busit<eB» (in package and assorted IoIb) was done by leading jobber*. The main features
of the market are unchanged. Prices are mostly steady, but
it is a buyrrs' marktt for certain grades of brown sheetinga
specially adapted for convernion purpcEes, and low-gride

ruled quiet in first hands, but there was a fair movement in
"wafh'' drrss fabrics, white goods, quilts, fcrims, black
eatines, black dress cottons and fancy table damasks. Print
cloths were in light demand, but the tone of the market was
firm.
Extra 64»648 were nominally advanced to 8 l-lBc, but
very few traneactions occurred at that price, and 60x00s
