THE insurance companies doing bus.
mess in South Dakota have filed their
annual reports with the State Auditor
and from them the business they have
transacted in the state during the pas,
year can be learned. The total amount
of premiums received this part year bv
all companies was SAP, 023: losses in.
Cured. SoO3. 40. This is a ratio Of
losses 70 premiums received Of 40.
in 1892 the total amount of premiums
received was S462, l42, the losses in.
Cured Sl23,0 10. OF a ratio of 30.6 Der
cent. The companies the past YEAR
did not receive as large net returns a.
the year before. but greater than in
1891. when the ratio was 4,.3 per cent.
and in 1880, with a ratio of 41.9 per
cent.
The records of the Auditors Office
show that fifteen companies have with.
drawn from the state during the past
year-this includes life insurance
companies. The principal cause given
for Withdrawing is owing to the ex-
pense of publishing statements, which
is from $l0) to SIPS a year. OF the life
insurance companies doing business in
the state the past year eleven wrote
less than 100 risks, five less than TWEEN
five risks. and two less than ten.
The record of business done b. the
fire companie, shows that they had
very little excuse for making a - per-
cent. raise in the rates in this state
during the past year, as their ret
p offs were more than 80 per cent. Of
all the premiums they received.
