Insurance Premiums In Indiana. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I note what the Journal says In reference to a suit filed by me In the Jay Circuit Court against insurance companies. Rough Notes, an Insurance paper published In In dlanapolla In the interest of insurance com panies, says, in speaking of this suit: "By maintaining local boards and compacts they are enabled to lessen the expense of underwriting, and the suit, if successful, would advance the rates materially." That statement is untrue and misleading. Insurance rates are as high or higher In Indiana than ever before, notwithstanding the cities of the State have spent millions of dollars to build water works; and equip and furnish good fire departments. In many cities the size of Portland the' people were induced to expend large sums of money (In this citv $73,000) to build water works on a promise from -the state agents that rates would be reduced. There has been no reduction, but. on the contrary, an increase, and the tax payers' are paying over $4,000 a year to main-. tain a fire department to protect property. It is the boast of Insurance men that sates In this State are well maintained, and It Is a well-known fact that insurance rates are at least 33 per cent, higher In Indiana ... vw. u iuo wny mere were paia in premiums to insurance companies In the Jast five years over $64,000 and paid back on losses less than I10.0CO. Portland is evi dently good picking. That the local board Is a trust of the worst character cannot h. disputed. Section 6 of the by-laws of the local board says: "Any member who shalt taice a nsK at a less rate than adopted by this board shall, on conviction thereof by a majority vote, forfeit and Dav to the treasurer the sum of 510 for the first offense and $20 for the second offense, and for th. third offense be expelled and his companies From the statements of fire Insurance companies nied at Indianapolis giving receipts and disbursements, it U clearly evldent that the people of Vndlana are paylms every year over $1,000,000 excessive pre mlums. Few peoDle will Question the hnn esty and sincerity of Governor Mount, ar, I QUOte here that Dart of his rnesnee tn the Legislature last winter asking them to give tne people some insurance legislation nat wouia give mem reiier: "Not only Is the trust potent In con trolling wages, but In lobbvinz their Inter esta In law-making bodies and in controlling xne price 01 ineir products. Any combination or trust for the purpose of arbitrarily controlling the price of any product or ar. tide of manufacture or commerce, or any insurance comDination. by wnlch a com. pact or organization, or consolracr or con federation. Is entered Into for the nuroose cf controlling and determining the rate of insurance snouid be prohibited and severely punished as a conspiracy against the law of supply and demand and as antagonistic to rair competition, r lre insurance com panics should be held responsible .for the actions or tneir agents. When an azem accepts and agrees upon a cash value of property and writes a policy based upon this value, and the insured pays premiums tn good raitn. tnen, m tne event of total loss, the company should be compelled to abide by their agent's appraisement and pay their loss in full. There was paid last fiscal year In premiums to foreign insurance comanles $3,606,843.40, and received back on osses $1,536,306.64, a net loss to the State ot $2,070,535.76." This insurance question Is one of vital Im portance to the people of the State, and art investigation by them can lead them to but one opinion of the matter, and that is the one held by our worthy Governor.

MADE A BAD SHOWING

THE WEEKLY DAXK STATEMENT WAS VERY I X FAVOR ABLE. Stringency tn the Xew York Money Market Continues to Dampen Trailing Aril or. At New York yesterday money on call was easier at 3?f4 per cent., the last loan being made at 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, ZYi'QZ per cent. Sterling exchange heavy, with actual busi ness in bankers' bill at $4.S4;ft4.S5U for dei mand and at J4.S114'54.S14 for sixty days; posted rates. $t.S24.S3 and $1.8614: commercial bills. ILSGft. Silver certificates, SCOc; bar silver, S&lic; Mexican dollars. 47Uc. At London bar silver closed steady at 27d an ounce. The New York weekly bank statement shows the following changes: T a a 1 Tlfnnvite ilrraee 13,226 20J Circulation, increase 303,200 The banks now hold 11,724,430 In excess of thft W.il renulrements. This statement - - - shows the results of four days' changes. The Financier says: "The statement of the New York clearing house banks, issued : Thursday. Sept. 2S, covers the average ' nnpratlnns of the? nreeedlna four days only. I The showing Lj not favorable, but prospectg Indicate that the current exhibit will be the last to convey evidences of the liquidation which has been a marked feature of the situation .since the opening of June. The main feature of the statement is the loss of four and one-half millions In cash, mostly in the form of legals. The known business of the week io date did not call for a de crease of that magnitude. The banks met the contraction In large part by decreasing their loans, the loss In that item having been $7,752,700. Deposits thowed a loss of ;i3.22fi,200. which Is rather more than the changes in cash and deposits called for, but the contraction lessened reserve require ments by over three millions and the re mainder, or $1,239,230. came out of surplus reserves, bringing the excess cash in banks down to 11,724,430. The next statement of the banks will not appear until Oct. 6 and the ensuing nine or ten days will probably make for improvement, so far as the New lork banks are concerned. "As a result of the holidays in New York an amount of money not easy to calculate win come into the banks here, and while thla Is an uncertain and temporary factor. there Is no question that the effect will be to increase the current supplies of cash. The gold engaged for import will not arrive in time to figure In the next statement, but the imports and the rising national bank circula tion figures show at least the general trend cf the situation and what may be expected in tne near future. The demands for remittance to the interior are not Increasing. end, while interior banks have doubtless loaned heavily here. It is not expected that infso mrius wm operate to tne aavantage or local institutions, once the pressure is over. At about thU season every year reserves In jview xorx begin to recuperate, and It la oruy natural to look for the usual recovery worn tni9 time on. Unless all elcrns fall. therefore. It may be set down that the critical point in the fall money movement has been weathered. This does not mean. necessarily, tnat money rates will strike an exceptionally low rate soon." THE WEEK'S IMPORTS. The imports of specie at New York this week were $13,564 gold and $46,269 silver. The Imports of dry goods and merchandise at tns same Prt were valued at $11,338,562. The market for securities at New York yesterday was a small and tame affair by contrast with the violent fluctuations of the earlier period of the money stringency. The rate for call money vibrated between 12 and 14 per cent, during the period of active demand, but after that was satisfied fell by quick stages to 3 per cent. The needs of borrowers over the three ensuing holidays 1 anticipation or pressure tor accommodation to-day, and consequently to-day's highest rate did not reach within 6 per cent, of yesterday's. The bank statement was unfavorable beyond all expressed anticipation. Although the outgo to the subtreasury was reduced to $1,1!,UU, the losses of cash to the interior brought the total reduction In the reserve up to $4,545,800. In spite of a net reduction in loans of $7,752,700 the meager surplus reserve was still further reduced $1.2.250. It Is obvious that the loans marie In the last few days on the Stock Exchange ao 110 l risrure urepiv in tne snnwinc n nil the accommodations were probably secured by dealers In money who had supplied themselves by time loans some time ago and who put their supplies out again at the prontabie ruling rate In place of the loans I called by the banks to meet the demand for the October settlement. The showing of the bank statement and the continued tightness of money were offset by the additional engagements of gold for import and the drop in the rates for sterling exchange to very near the regular Import point. Tne sentiment on the Stock Exchange waa that further relief to the money market from this source is now available and that a regular movement of gold is now fairly inaugurated. No pressure of Uauidatlon was mani fest, and present holders of stocks evidently ieei tnemseives strong enougn to await a more favorable turn of affairs. The confidence In further gold Imports was emphasized by the failure of the Bank of England to advance its official discount rate, notwithstanding the fact that the principal demand for money In -London is now thrown upon the central institution by reason of the higher prevailing private rate of discount. A fall in sterling exchange at Berlin in response to the former discounts there suggested additional pressure on London for gold from that source alone. With gold moving to New York some measure of protection by the bank at an early day may be accepted as a certainty. The interior money mantels in tnis country gave no evidence of a relaxation of the pressure upon New York for funds. New York exchange at In terior points tending rather downwards. Some relief Is anticipated next week from dividend and interest disbursements and from the money to be left in the city by visitors to the Dewey celebration. Except for a recovery of 33 In Tennessee Coal gains of 1341i2 in the St. Louis Southwestern common, with movements in usually inactive stocks, the changes were slight either way. The total dealings fell to the level of the midsummer period of dullness. Dealings In bonds were on a small scale and price changes were mixed. Total sales. par value. $1,350,000. United States new fours declined y in the bid price. AN ACCENTUATED STAGNATION. The elimination of two days from the week's business and dullness next week on account of yacht races, accentuated the speculative stagnation, which always fol lows a period of unusual activity in the stock market and limited the transactions of the last four days. The hope is expressed that the dlvidend'and Interest disbursements next week may serve to relieve somewhat the local pressure upon the money market. Many widely varying estimates are heard. also, of the effect of expenditures by Dewey day visiters on the local money supply. But as to the main causes of the depletion of banking reserves, it is manifest that the needs of the Interior for money to move the crops are not yet appeased. Neither is any cessation of the absorption of money by the the treasury In sight as the government's expenditures are now running well under re ceipts, ine August surplus will aonarentlv be doubled in September and the deficit is more than wiped out. leavins: a srrowina- sur plus as the fiscal year progresses. There has been constant demand for all tho gold certificates which have been available at the New York subtreasury. But as this simply served to convert the gold of New York ranks into a form more desired by the de positors, their distribution has augmented rather than relieved the drain on New York banks. Many of the clearing house Instltu tlon started the week with their ctsh reserves under the legal limit and with addi tional demands upon them there has been further calling of loans. The stock market has been unprepared to move upwards under the circumstances. But it lias shown signs of resistance to a decline as it has made the bears wary of raldtng stocks. It Is evident that stocks are much less vulnera ble to attack and that weak speculative holdings on margin and with barrowe! mcney have been shaken down upon a more solid foundation. Stocks with intrinsic merit were taken at such times by power of thu Interests not depenuent upon ordinary money market resources. Some of those provided themselves with funds 1n order to answer before the present stringency set In and have a handsome pro lit available now by reloanlng on call.

In nearly all departments of trade the volume Is highly satisfactory, and while there is a tendency to a hardening of prices. In no case are the advances very marked. In dry goods some lines range from one-fourth to one-half cent per yard higher. In leather 1 cent a pound advance has been made in the last two weeks. The hiie market la very Arm, prices being from 1 cent to a cent and a half higher than a month ago. Provisions rule unusually steady, but with larger movement higher prices need not be a aurprise. On Commission row unusually good prices are realized on pood stock. Some very good apjles are now coming on the market. Sweet potatoes are In better supply and prices easing up. The demand for lemons is falling off; prices easier. The flour market shows a little more activity at unchanged prices. Poultry and eggs In active request at our quotations. An Improved Eastern demand Is noticeable. The iron and hardware market continue in a strong position, and another advance of 75 cents a keg on nails is probable. The local grain market shows a little more activity than last week, and the receipts would doubtless be larger but for the scarcity of cars In local as well as through service.

ALL ALONG THE LINE

A SUBSTANTIAL ADVANCE SCORED IX THE CHICAGO MARKETS. Foreign Demand Stront? at Higher Prices Light Receipts Helped the Dull Sentiment. CHICAGO. Sept. 28. Deferred futures in all the grain markets were strong to-day and closed at advances. A good export demand for wheat and constantly decreasing receipts formed the foundation of the wheat strength. Trade was broad and general In most markets. September wheat advanced ic December c and May ic. September corn declined von heavy selling by longs, but December advanced He September oats declined and December advanced a shade. Provisions were steady, but closed unchanged to a shade lower. Liverpool played a prominent part in Influencing the early tone of wheat trading. That market opened lower but quickly recovered and at the opening here showed good advances.- This was regarded aa Indicating the seriousness of the Transvaal situation. Early Indications also pointed to large clearances for the day. Outside buying was quite heavy at the opening. New York houses being especially prominent. The opening in December was at 7374c, an advance of hikc over yesterday's close. This was at call prices, and for a time the markct met heavy selling against those privlieges. A good deal of general profit taking. was also done, and a decline In December to Hike took place, but before 11 o'clock the market had again become strong with heavy and general buying. The continual falling off in receipts at prominent receiving points attracted more attention, and the belief was more general that the winter wheat supplies from now on will be much lighter. New York and St. Louis, at the same time, reported numerous acceptances of yesterday's cabled offers. Best prices were obtained in the last hour of trading. The market during that time exhibited a great deal of nervousness and the price changed rapidly, though within a narrow range. Realizing was heavy, but on all slight breaks the market received substantial support, and though best prices were not maintained, the close was at a substantial' advance. A good imlatlve tradings The market at the close showed a markedtgrowth of bull sentiment among local traders, and trading throughout showed the effects of increased outside Interest. A bull feature was the falling: off of 800,000 bushels In primary receipts in the past four days. Minneapolis and Lniluth receipts were 974 cars, against S84 laBt week and 1,100 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 12C cars, two of contract trade. The lightness of local receipts was a factor in the early strength. Total primary receipts were 1,122,000 bushels, against 1.6S6.00O a year ago. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 841,000 bushels. The seaboard reported 23 loads for Bxport. December advanced to 74Hc and reacted to 73c, where It closed. Considerable trading was done In May and that future developed more strength than anything else on the floor. It ranged from 75Vs73c, and closed c higher at 76c Corn was fairly active and irregular. There was heavy liquidation of September by the Interests supposed to be most prominent on the long side and this influenced the market all day. Deferred futures, in which trading was mostly of a scalping nature, were weak for a time in sympathy, but later recovered on covering by shorts, and closed steady. Receipts were 1,19 cars. The seaboard reported 80 loads taken for export. December ranged from 29c to 30c, and closed ic higher at CW4c September ranged from 33c to 32c, and closed c lower at Oats reflected the action of corn. September being weak on moderate liquidation in spite of small receipts, while deferred futures were steady. Trading was small and mostly of a scalping nature. The cash demand was rather slow. Receipts were 234 cars. December ranged from 22c to 22' 23c, and closed a shade higher at 22Tsfg23c September closed V4c lower at 22c. Provisions were firm and in good demand. The chief influence was the heavy cash demand and fair advances were scored during the morning on buying by local operators and exporters. Later heavy selling by packers caused a reaction, but the market closed steady at slight changes. At the close Janu ary pork was 2Hc lower at $9.80; January lard unchanged at $5.62, and January ribs a shade lower at $0.1:.
