From Philadslphia Paper1
REDUCING THE RATES OF INSURANCE..
Some OF the Fire Insurance Companies OF
Philadelphia, and, with one or two cxcep-
lions, all the foreign Insurance Companies
doing business in Philsdelphia, have made,
and 1t would appear they are still making, q
considerable and almost ruinous reduction
on ratas for mercantile risks. There 10 no
reason whatever beyond the purposes OF com-
petition, and to obtain business ut losing
rstss, rather than get none, for such couree.
The officers and agencies that take risks ct
the ruinous rates referred 60, with scarcely
an exception, have neither the ability, desire
nor intention Of paying losses when they oc-
cur under these policies. IL 10, therefore,
not the least strange that the merchant and
property owner can get insured (nominallyl
large lines at nominal rates OF premium.
Our readers should bear In mind that q
cheap insurance 10, in nine cases out OF ten,
the most expensive in the end, and when an
agent, drummer or broker selicits, or rather
drums a merchant or property owner FOR his
risks, and insists upon placing them, on the
ground OF taking them at low rate of pre-
MUM, it will be safe TO infer that the inten-
tion is to place them In some bogus local or
foreign Insurance Company, that, according
to the above mode of paying losses, can safe
ly afford TO take lines at even nominal rates.
The Insurance business in Philadelphia 10,
by the above fraudulent concerns, being cot
up badly, and we would advise our RESPONSE
BILE Companies not to try to compete with
them, for although many men are at present
somewhat blind to their interests in Insurance
matters, there lie no doubt but that great
portion Of such will ere long discover their
error-some by sad and expensive expert
ence, and others, probably, by observation
as far at least ss the improperly Of cheap
insurance ia concerned.
