JUNE INSURANCE BUSINESS LARGE Greatest Drive for Life Poli- cies Just Wound Up. Sales Enormous. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, July 1.—The greatest drive for the sale of life insurance in the history of this country has just wound up. Not all the life insurance companies joined in this drive, but agents of those companies which did not were forced to strenuous efforts in order to prevent competitors from taking the business a v from them. The special inducement offered by some companies was the willingness to write additional insurance during the month of June without additional medical examinations for those al- ready holding policies in their con- cern Two decades ago such a proposal would have -been turned down by nearly every careful insurance exe cutive in the country. The risk would have been considered too great. But health protection and the mode of living in the United States have bet- tered to such an extent that such a proposal is no longer regarded aseven verging on the unsafe. ‘Amount Can't Be Determined. The exact amount of new life insur- ance business written in June cannot yet be determined. Policies have been written for a total ranging around a billion and a quarter dollars, but the premiums have not been paid on all these, a step which is necesary to make them effective. In some instances these premiums will not be paid. This ts one of the sore spots of the insurance business. Agents are prone to have policies written on a chance rather than on a definite assurance from the prospect. It costs just double as much in clerical and bookkeeping expense to write a policy which is not_accepted as to In the first case, the policy not only has to be written and entered, but it has to be canceled and removed from the books. It Is sure, however, that more than a bil lion dollars of actual business was written in the last month. There are today, according to insur- ance men here, between 95,000.000 and 100,000,000 life insurance policles in force in a population of approximately 115,000,000 people. These policies as sure to thelr beneficiaries the payment of $70,000,000,000. From these figures it is evident that insurance has be- come a rednsurance business rather than a struggle to convince new prospects of the value of insurance. This applies to fire, accident, theft, weather and other risks as well as life. Agents say that not a little of the new business written is due to the in crease in costs of inheritance taxes, administration costs, burial expenses and doctors’ fees. The public, they say, has commenced to realize to what an extent these factors cut into the volume of an estate. Accident and Liability Policles. The trend toward automobile trans- portation has done wonders for the accident, liability and theft insurance lines. One company has on its books automobile liability and damage in surance totaling more than $17,800,- 000. Greatly increased attention has been given earthquake risks by West- ern insurance interests during the past six months. The Santa Barbara disaster last year wakened by in- surance and business men to the dan- from this source. Under pressure from the banks the “fallen building” clause is being erased from fire poli- cies covering industrial and office structures, This clause relieved in surance companies of responsibility if the bullding were destroved as a re- sult of partial or complete collapse. The word earthquake was not men- tioned, but was understood as the only probable cause. The Western banks are now insisting this clause be elinfinated before mortgage loans are approved. This has increased pre- miums materially. D. C,. THURSDAY, COTTON ADVANCES ONLIGHT OFFERINGS Disposition to Cover Sales on U. S. Report Tomorrow Shown in Trading. By the Assoclated Pross. NEW YORK.

Australian Firms to Manufacture Six for That Country. SYD Australla, July 1 (P).— Four large engineering and electrical equipment manufacturing firms in New South Wales are planning to form a company capltalized at £1,000,000 to produce Australian- made motor cars. They intend to build a six-cylinder type car suited for Australian condi- tions and apply in its manufacture the mass production system. Repre- sentatives of these firms have ap- proached the Australian government with the suggestion of a_ subsidy to ald the new industry. The minister of trade and customs promised that any reasonable recommendations would be sympathetically considered by tite cabinet. g Australia is the largest importer of American automobiles. GOOD FARM YEAR. Season of Improvement Is Seen by Department of Agriculture. “This year may well prove to }‘m n agricultural conditions,” the Depart- ment of Agriculture announced today in its July report on the farmy situa- tion. “The stage is set for strong hog prices well into next vear, prospects for wheat growing are moderately good, cattle are ‘coming back’ in the West and the dairy industry is pick- ing up in the tast.” Cotton, corn, potatoes, and even | wheat, are largely a speculation at this date, the department said, be- cause of backward weather. Abun- dant fruit crops were declared in prospect, with hay apparently a short crop, except in_the Far West, and low* stocks of old hay. OOTT‘ON GO0DS ACTIVE. NEW YORK, July 1 (Special).— The cotton goods market was fairly active today at unchanged price lev- els. Print cloths were quoted at 71 for 64x60s and 8 for 68x72s.
