FIFE INSURANCE.

The business of Life Insurance has increased
immensely since it's first start in q compare
lively feeble way. This class of insurance
has become very popular in the United States,
more so than in any other country in the
world, and the strongest insurance compan-
les in the world also exist here. In New
York, there are IL companies whose aggre-
gate income for the last year was s54, 952,-
752, the expenditures $40, 412, 100, and the
nu mber of policies 341, 379.
There are II companies in other states
whose aggregate income was S37, &c.
OIL and whose expenditures were S29, 331, :
45S, and the number of policies 1854, 26O.
The total income of these 80 companies dur
ing the year 1888 was s92, 562, 763, and their
aggregate expenditures 81, 743, 5ss, and the
total number of their policies in full 7O5, GAL.
The - New York mpanieshave$251,9 73, 40
assets, and the II companies of other states,
1919, 1892, $50 assets, making an aggregate OF
S171, 800, 800.
The amount of insurance in force in all
the companies is 81, 1853, 73O, 645; an amount
greater than the entire national debt. From
this an idea may be formed of the immense
proportions to which the Life Insurance bust
ness in this country has grown; and the
growth still continues, and each year shows
an aggregate, greater than the previous one.
