The only prospect for a cut rate in Butte
is in the possibility of special agents be-
ing sent here by the striking companies,
which is being done in other cities. The
non-intercourse clause of the board of
underwriters constitution, quoted above,
makes it evident that the new board IN
tends to maintain its position. In retali-
alton the outside companies have declared
a war on the business OF the compact, and
it is said that instructions to open the war
in Montana in earnest have been received
from special agents of the outside COM
panies, but no attention will be paid to
them.
The present average rate of insurance
in Butte inside the fire limits is about
per cent, and insurance comp MES have
always regarded Butte as a good field.
The losses in this city and throughout all
Montana have always been very small
with other states and localities.
The total fire losses in the state for 1894
were but S2l0,628, the loss in the different
months having been as follows:

1ths having been as follows I:


Butte alone pays more than 100000 IN
pre- miums, or enough TO pay the losses of
the entire state. The total loss for the
eight coast states was $4,000 IN 1894
which was a quarter of a million less than
in 1893. Estimating the premiums i'm
come at Sl,0O0,O00 less than for
1893, the average loss ratio as figured
out by the underwriters Is about 5! per
cent. 1t is claimed that the fire insurance
business is losing one for most COM
panies and il is argued that the SIX COM
panies making the fight against the COM
pact cannot hold out long. Each one
shows n constantly decreasing policy
holders surplus, while 80 per cent. of the
compact members show an increase, or
that they are at least holding their own.
