Insurapre Noticts.

INSURERS in AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS
are reminded that the ATHENIEITM FIRE OFFICE
REDUCED the Rate of Insurance upon FARMING STOCX at
Midsummer last to 3s. per cent., without the Average Clause;
the propriety of which step is apparent from the fact of the
combined Offices having now followed the example.
The Athenaeum offers similar advantages to Manufacturers,
Warehousemen, and Merchants, upon many descriptions of
risks, both at home and abroad ; the lowest rate being
charged consistent with the actual risk incurred in each case.
