THE" INDEX-JOURNAL COMPETITION FOR LOCH NESS lyiCORLEY tt 19k Wv list JJjg PASSES AWAY a American's pocketbook, life insurance company statistics offer an excellent cross-section of the investment and financial markets. The assets of the life companies are enormous. These forty-two concerns controlled (as of April 30) of funds which must be kept In profitable employment.

The opinions of the men who handle these funds naturally have a deep influence on the condition of the markets. Their assets, incidentally, rose 1397,000,000 In tlx twelve months ending April. At the present time sixty-five per cent of the new funds of the life companies is going Into Federal Oovrrnmcnt obligations. Their aggregate holdings of government-securities erased the $2,000 for the first time on April 30 when they totaled $2,022,000,000, compared with 11,465,000.000 the year before. Some State and municipal ob'lgations are lncludrd in the total.

Other bonds and stocks held Imountcd to $0,868,000,000, compared with $6,275,000,000. Mortgages amounted to $5,457,000,000, against $6,002,000,000 twelve months before. Life company executives say, by the way, that payments on mortgage principal are running well ahead of last year.

More Important right now probably Is the cost of government, all divisions. It Is encouraging to note some re ductlon In roots but. even with these reductions a comparison of such governmental costs now with such costs fifteen years ago Is truly disturbing. LIFE INSURANCE GROWS It Is Impressive to be told that the American people are now paying life Insurance premiums; at the rate of ten million dollars dally.

And that this Is an Increase of almost half a million dollars over the dally premium receipts of a jrear ago. It Is slso of Interest that the majority of big insurance companies are Investing In government bonds. These companies evidently are not worried over any collapse of government They may reason that If the government does collapse no investment win be worth anything and thai government bonds are therefor the best bet In the Investment field. That people are buying more life Insurance today than they were a year ago Is an Important Index to general conditions. Ifc certainly Is not an.

Last year 133.207 air passengers were discharged at the municipal, airport In Chicago. ThU year it to estimated that the number will exceed 190,000. More than 35 per cent of the total have com and will come s'olely to visit the World's fair.
