SHORT SUMMARY OF THE POSITION
OF THE

pIIUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY,
62, Ludgate 11111, London, E.C.

Branch Office-Li, King-street, St. James's.

The Annual Premium Incowo of the Company, at the
close f Itgit4, was .£210,978 Os. 10d., and the Total Amount
ASSUrod £1.832,197. -
The Business is divided under two heads:-
Ist —The General or Ordinary Business, being the
same as that transacted by other Companies.
2nd —The Industrial or Working Class Assurances.]
The Premium Income of the General
Business was £52,432, and the sum A ssured
£1,662,960. The present value of the lia-
bility of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per
Cent. Tables, throwing off the entire load-
ing, wa; £139,322 15 8
The Premium -Income of the Industrial
Branch was 168,546, the sum Assured
£3,169,237, and the Estimated Reserve ' 50,000 0 0

The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does not admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very large proportion of
Policies which constantly lapse, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 14
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.

£lB 322 15 8

ber, 1868, was £241,301 12 4
. . .

The average duration of the whoie of

EAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDRENThe Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. Thero is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can bo admitted 'n the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to can y out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
Cle short exchange on London is 25f. Mc. per El sterlinz
Comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 tin. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer In Paris than in
London.
