Some figures are furnished by the State
Insurance Department showing the condition
of IT'S fire insurance companies, and their
business during the past year. As the totals
of losses outside of this State are not yet
ciyen. no complete analysis is possible. 1t
is, however, quite evident that the COM
panles of this State have been more
fortunate than those of other States,
since ours have gained in assets while the
out-of-town concerns have lost Taking the
175 together, their income last year was
$4,000, 900 less than in 1876. This is partly
caused 10y decrease of business, and partly
by lowering of rates The strong position
of our State companies is the most agreeable
feature indicated by the summary.
