GREAT interest is being awakened
among the marine insurance writers of
New York and London in reference to
the loss of grain laden vessels bound
from this country to Europe. The dis
asters are attributed to imperfect loading
and illspacked cargoes. 1t is proposed
that the London Lloyds and other for
eign underwriters cooperate with the
New York board of underwriters in
recognizing a single board of surveys
under the control of responsible compa-
mics, and thus prevent the frequent
recurrence of such losses.
