EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0007.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Yid., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office are —Moderate and egnitable
Rates or Premium for each clans of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionatc to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximatiui to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically apylied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest b:r
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica -
ton and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Of ice will, by a constant analysis of its owe
experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as tie
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange -
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into eacill
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitly per cent. of the nel .t
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies hay
been In force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company tips n
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Claus s
Prospectuses. and every information may be obtained, on applicat, •
den at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

These tickets are all obtainable at the Company's Offices, 3, Old

toria, cap. 40.
2. It has a subscribed capital of one million sterling, as a guarantee

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
LIVERPOOL, MAY 17.—The supplies of grain and flour
continue on a moderate scale. At yesterday morning's
market there was little passing in any article of the
trade, the buyers having supplied themselves pretty well
last week, are enabled to keep aloof, but no alteration
can be made in the general quotations of Tuesday.
There was no change whatever to-day.
MANCHHSTER, MAY 17.—N0 material change has oc-
curred in the state of the flour trade since our last re-
port, a fair consumptive, but by no means brisk, demand
having been experienced for fresh manufactured parcels
on fully previous terms. Oatmeal has likewise moved
off steadily, and at a further enhancement in price. With
the exception of malt coastwise, the arrivals of English
and Irish produce at Liverpool are exceedingly scanty,
and from abroad the imports of grain are also on a mo-
derate scale only, but of flour the supplies are liberal,
consisting of about 16,000 sacks of French and 28,000
barrels of American. At our market this morning only
a moderate extent of business was transacted in flour;
holders, however, manifested considerable firmness, and
the currency of this day se'nnight was fully maintained.
Wheat ruled steady at late rates. Oats commanded a
further advance of id per 4516, and oatmeal must be
quoted 6d per load higher.
NOTTINGHAM, MAY 17.—The weather continues warm
and forcing, with occasional showers of rain; conse-
quently the sickly hue of some of the crops, caused by
the late cold weather, has now disappeared, and indica-
tions of an abundant harvest nearly everywhere show
themselves. We had a very small supply of wheat from
the growers to-day, but the demand being limited, last
week's prices were not exceeded. Our quotations for
barley are nearly nominal. Oats and beans in short
supply, and fully as dear.
WORCESTER, MAY 17.—Our market to-day was firm.
There was an average supply of wheat, which realized
quite us good prices as last Saturday, and in some in-
stances an advance was obtained for superior samples.
English white may now be quoted et 15s 6d to 16s per
bag; red, 14s 63 to 15s per bag. Malting barley from
3s 6d to 3s 9d prr bushel; and distilling, 3s to 3s 4:1.
Beans sold at 123 to 12s 6d per bag for new English,
and 13s to 14s for old; foreign, les to 12s per bug; old
English worth 3s 4d to 3s 6d per 391 b, and new 3s to
3s 4d; Irish, from 2s 9d to 35 per bushel. Peas were
in slow demand, and 4s was about the average price per
bushel obtained for white qualities. The growing wheats
are looking well and promise a good yield.
At Stourbride market, on Friday, the trade in wheat
was brisk and firm, at last week's rates. Barley was not
in demand, but held firm at the prices of last week.
Peas and beans were in demand, but buyers would not
advance. For oats rather more money was realised.
At Stratford-on-Avon market, on Friday, there was
a small attendance, and the sellers held out for higher
prices, which were not acceded to by the millers. 'r he
business done was therefore small, at about last week's
rates. Best white wheat, per bag, 16s 3d; and best red,
15s 3d. Barley, per quarter, 255. Oats, per quarter,
18s to 19s. Beans, per bag (old), Ils to 12s; new, 10s.
Average—Wheat, 21 Os 61,d per quarter; barley, 11 5s
per quarter; beans, 119 a. 4d per quarter.
At Wolverhampton we had a better supply of wheat
from the farmers, but the :quantity on offer by the
dealers was less than usual, and an advance was paid by
the millers of about is per quarter on red, and is 6cl per
quarter on prime whits—say, 16s to 16s 3d for the
farmer, and 16s 9d to 17s 3d for the latter, per bag of
1901 b; foreign was a better sale, at about the prices of
last week. Fresh parcels of malting barley sold at the
currency of last week--viz,, 25s to 27s per quarter.
English oats were scarce and rather dearer—say, 22s to
24s per quarter; Irish oats were is per quarter higher.
Exigiish old beans held for 12s Gd; and new, Its 6d per
brag; French, Ils 3d t o lis 6d; Egyptian, 103 4d per
1961 b, being an advances of about 63 to is per quarter
on last week.
GLASGOW CATTLE M AREET, MAY 15.—The numbers
at our market to-day were—oxen, 898; sheep, 919;
Lambs, 215. Owing tee the large supply of cattle and
dull state of the dead market sales were dull, with a
downward tendency. B• est ox beef 435, current 40s to 418,
inferior 30s to 365. A great many good cattle turned out
unsold. Although the supply of sheep was small it was
equal to the demand. Slow sales. Best aged wethers
51d, current sd, inferiu n. 4d to 4id. A few turned out
unsold. Lambs varied it a prices from 14s to 225; all sold.

C( )RK, MAY 16.
The general trade of the city during the week has
been dull, and, although we have no arrivals of im-
portance, we cannot r, ?port any marked improvement in
any article of grain. Indian Corn and Egyptian Wheat
both are in good demt and and a turn dearer. The ar-
rivals of Oats up to I ,oudon; and of Flour, both from
Europe and America, into Liverpool, have been very
large, the quantity of o:l,ts to the first named place hav-
ing amounted to near) y 50,000 quarters, and that of
Flour to the latter to an arty 18,000 sacks (French) and
28,000 barrels (Ame tic an). The quantity received
during the same peril )d , of time (one week) from Ireland
was only 24 sacks. ' 11,1 receipts of Corn at this market
are very trifling, only barrels of Wheat, 69 of Barley,
and 743 of Oats having come to hand during the week.
The value of each d. 'se; iption is unchanged. In the
finer descriptions of eign Wheat, the business passing
is trifling. Eg,yptiar. 1, inferior, and damaged parcels,
however, are in good d e wand and command full prices.
Oats are held firmly, and the stocks here being small
the large arrivals to L. andon, already noticed, do not ap-
pear to have affected 1 he market. We quote prices as
last noted. We have; a moderate consumptive business
passing in fine Flour. Coarse descriptions continue in
demand, and meet ari taely sale. The stocks of Indian
Corn are small, and ere being a fair demand for the
article, the advance nc, aced in our last is fully sustained.
We quote its value 7L 12s. 6d. to 71. 17s. 6d. and even

dington was most in favour, the market against nearly
all the other favourites leaving off with a downward
