The Liverp oOl & London Insurance Co.
Sharp Losses.
From tho Insurance Monitor and Wall Street
Review
We have repeatedly expressed the conviction
that this companye reckless management, es.
peciaIly in the United States, during the past
two years. would finally damage its reputation
and business We have been looking over its
last annual report made to the shareholders on
the l4th ult. The report shows that the losses
for the year ~sre 72 per cent af the receipts.
against an average of about 50 per cent. in
previous years! Well might the Secretary
admit in his report that the fires had been
"unusually numerous and destructive. and 90
universal as to deprive them Of ell local or
other peculiarity." OF course the Secretary
put the best face possible on the matter by
urging that the year " was an exceptionable
one" The President in alluding to the com.
panys severe losses. "hopes for better times.
Mr.. Harrison, one Of the Directors. admitted
that the FIRE business had remained about
stationary" There was great competition,
AID there vas no disguising the fact that the
difference which excited in the Board. had
damaged them to an extent from which
they had not quite recovered" i" He would
add that il the proprietors would individually
exert Themselves to increase the business, II
would do more for their business than any
thing else" Another shareholder wanted The
reserve fund increased, "for If this year the
aspect was unfavorable. and they did not pay
dividend. the reserve fund would. be an ab>
surdity on the face Of it." The Chairman, il
reply to an inquiry from . sharsholdes, ad.
mitted that $65, 900 bad been Withdrawn from
the reserve fund in order to msks up the div.

people within whose influence you felt
cheerful, amiable, hopeful, equal TO any

for Gods grace To exercise it rightly 1

the energy to sway others 70 good; to
difuse around us an atmosphere of cheer

But as It's vast system of hospital ar

There is also an Agent of our State

pressing wants which the Government
fails to do.
But beyond this, as mothers, wives

We adopted the following resolution:

c~ 1t is estimated that the receip

E tits estimated that the receipt
from customs during the current year
will amount to more tan $50 900 900
possibly to S65 100000 which will be
a larger revenue than has in any pre-
ceding year been derived from that
source. 1t is therefore plain that the
consuming power of the loyal States, in
foreign goods, is greater than that of
the whole Union, inclucing the rebel
States before the war.

was built of solid oak timber, 8 inches
