An old merchant whose business ex periences and observations extend over a period exceeding half a century, is authprity for the assertion that"money made by speculation is nearly invari ably lost in the same way, and that all groat and lasting commercial successs have been achieved by steady adher ence to legitimate methods and six per eat. interest." The general policy of tihe New York Life Insurance Company would seem to have been fashioned after some such ultra-conservative but prosaie model, for this ancient corpora tion claims to hold rigidly to accepted methods and beaten paths. One happy r:esult of this careful policy is observed in its exemption from vicissitudes. The entire accumulations were, in 1873, twenty-four millions, and the surplus less than three and a half millions of dollars; these figures are at the end of seven years, the worst ever known in the history of life insurance, respec tively thirty-nine millions and seven millions, and ever since that date the receipts for interest alone have exceed ed the amount of death claims. There were issued during the past year liye thousand five hundred and twenty-four polties, insuring something more than seventeen millions of dollars. This number and amount could, no doubt, have been exceeded had the company been willing to incur additional ex poense. 'l'lTe object seems to have been to keep the amunt at risk up to the usual mark at $127,500,000, and enable the company to hold its own until a better asiurane of a general business revival encouraged a Iu tier expansion, for t,his company's specialty is safety not display. ,S'ubstilttt, for Ualomel.-Su liphate of manganese is now heing introdlneed as a subatitt, for mercury in the varlot s billions troubles.
