Insurance at All-Time Peak.
The amount of life insurance pro
tection in force in the Connecticut
Mutual is now at the highest point
in the company’s history, standing
at $1,041,855,204. an increase over the
previous year of $28,765,245, accord
ing to the annual report of its
president just received by John L.
McElfresh, general agent in Wash
ington. Payments to policyholders
amounted to $27,958,706. New busi
ness amounted to $91,785,229.
Regarding social security, Mr.
Loomis says: “The concensus of
opinion is that the social security
program has not been injurious to
the life insurance business. Suitably
adjusted in respect to those who
bear the tax burden, as well as to
those who receive protection, it is
recognized as a necessary part of
our national social life. Essentially
and fundamentally these are dif
ferent services. While they may
supplement each other, social se
curity is not a substitute for life
insurance."

Assonated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Stocks
bounced up and down at frequent
intervals in today's market, and most
favorites finished well under best
levels of the session.
Leaders were at their tops during
the second hour. They encountered
profit selling and dipped before mid
day. There were several other ral
lies and retreats, and at the close
der water.
It was noticeable that volume
jumped appreciably on rising inter
vals and contracted on reactions.
Nothwithstanding several extremely
quiet lapses, the day’s turnover ex
ceeded 1.000.000 shares, one of the
largest since last November.
While the news was sketchy. Wall
Street began to feel that maybe
the worst of the current business
recession had been discounted.
Also there was a little more opti
mism regarding politics and poten
tial overseas purchases of American
goods. At the same time, some
analysts .nought yesterday's sharp
market budge was mainly technical
and far from convincing.
Among new highs for the year or
j longer were Studebaker, Loft,
! Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit pre
j ferred. Atlas Powder and Cluett.
Well ahead most of the session—
| some skidded at the last—were
Bethlehem Steel, National Steel,
Chrysler, Sears Roebuck, Interna
| tional Harvester, Glenn Martin,
Douglas Aircraft. Western Union,
Westinghouse, Du Pont, Allied
Chemical, Union Carbide, Philip
Morris and Union Pacific.
Belated hesitancy was shown by
United States Steel. General Mo
tors. Santa Fe, Youngstown Sheet,
Goodyear, Eastman Kodak and
; International Paper preferred.
Chicago Grain
B> the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Feb. 9—Wheat prices
advanced a cent a bushel today to
the best level in more than two
weeks, but then backed down, giving
up all of the session’s gains.
Improved demand for cash wheat
aided the early upturn, while profit
taking encouraged by the fact that
prices were about 5 cents above last
' week's lows accelerated the reac
tion. Some attention was attracted
: bv Washington reports of diplo
matic moves which many traders
j regarded as encouraging peace pros
| pects, but these were offset by news
: of strained international relations
| m the Near East.
