Notwithstanding the large accessions of business made
annually through a long series of years, which obviously in-
crease the difficulty of further advances, yet the Fire Pre-
nfiums of the year 1859 rise above those of the preceding
Year—by a larger sum than has been obtained by the increase
of any single year since the formation of the Company, ex-
Cepting the year 1853, disclosing an advance of 50 PER CENT.
IN:THREE YEARS.
The following figures exhibit the progress of the whose
