Uf is situnted fn and growing centres of production and nerces inn vountry which ts yer Kequirs Ing population and wenlth, extending Ite sprend of crops, Incrensing both in productive eapucity: nnd inwetual production, and gaining dally a eluser connection with and control over the great markets of the world, Those aro the elements whieh make value, and to those mnpAn, t prico must respond when a market exists, these elements were never se conspicuously pres Ba powerful in operation ag now. We sfore, the contra’ erensed actual value and 8 decling in prive grat ing out of tho dendness and inuction that fol- lows any prolonged business depression; but this ideeline in price ts coufesserly due to tem- porary cuushs of a general churacter, which have ifeoted real estate everywhere tse In the iy, and §a certain to change with elreum= already in sight. Indeed, a change has tobe tat since you commenced your ex- taination, 1 presume you would have no doubt thit a considerable sidvance in price bas oce curred ainee you procured these valunstions, and thut thoy by no menus represent the value of this property nga futuro resonree to this Com- pny.

In this view of tho cago, we have hold that not only was there no occasion for necepting in up= praianl at prices which do pot represent n mar- et, but only the absence of one, a8 the truco tig ure at which to write this item on our books; but that the renson for not doing #0 ts clear: 1t would not truly represent tho actunl resources of the Compnny; it would be needlesaly discred= Jung itself, though left with a clear surptus over: n4 per cent reserve of aver $2,000,000; It would be In effect selling on a dead murket property: which need not bo sold until there is a good market, and at a notoriously low price when fn a. wood market It would vonfessedly Dring wu much ligher and 1 sulictent price. There has been no shrinkuge in the actual value of this property as. n-whole. The full effect of tho change from a eurrency ton gold basis has been but a fraction of the margin taken on it. Its future is greater and more certain than over before, und {tf the future that xlyes real worth everywhere, From all our advisera who are carefully studious of tho situntion, and from all who are familar with yroperty und businc’s interests in the Jocullties In question, thore hag been but one opinion and confident prediction 1s to the outcome, That opinion, Lan happy to know, you and your ad- visurs fully shure, and that you belleve be- yond doubt that the restorution of an netual Inarket will restoro ut least the original valus- tions, An uppreciation of about 12 per cent on the prices given you would render thom equal te coat upon our books, Itis nat too much to say that that appreolition has actually taken place sineo thoee prices were given, or that a ycar hence tho appreciation would he much more. A yourly Inventory of this property would seer to he ag unnecessary as it would ba unusual for life companies, and would give a constantly dtuutunt ily tem os deceptive in bigh times a4 lh very low. Tr the reasons I have 80 briefly Indicated, we deom it wise and proper to adhere to the system adopted by the Compiny' long before the preacnt numigemont, and adopted by other companies ng well, Lo carry tho property at its actunl cost, anticipating neithor guins nor losses until thoy ure actly made. And wa should regard the neceptance by us of those opinions as thial, and the churge to profit and logs of tho diiference atated, as arbitrary acts on our part, unjust in effect, unnecessiry for any’ practical purpose, and ag placing onan unsettled and thuctuating Dosis that which there is no substantia) and ins during reason for disturbing on our books, Very: respectfully yours, Jacon L..
