COFFEE AND INSURANCE.
The Connection Between the Two Shows in
New York and London

There might not seem to be any Iii
rect connection between coff,t ana in
surancc. but that one exists is attest-l |
by many episodes in the history uf
early New York. Ia 1888 the old In
surance Office, as it was called. was
open from noon to o'clock and from
to O'Clock in the evening every day
at the Cutte House under charge of
k"tfltas 4 sharpe, and gave marine
Insurance 10 merchants, secured hv
subscriptions of underwriters. In l77H.
as the destruction of vessels hy Amer
lean privateers Increased the risk of
NAVIGATION, new insurance office was
opened AT another coffee house. amt
from that time on the Insurance busi-
ness Of New York was carried on gen
orally in coffee houses.
Their was q PRECEDENT for this in an
other coffee house intlissolubly con-
nected with nsurance-Lloyd' in Lon
don. Edward Lloyd WAS the enterprise
ing proprietor Of a coffee house in
Tower street patronized by shippers
alri merchants. The first mention of il
is to he found in the London Gazette
of Feb. 2l, 1851. During the reign Of
Charles H.. and toward the close of the
nth century, merchants greatly alfec-
ted coffee houses. though it was not un-
til 1851 or 1852. when Lloyd removed to
the corner of AbchurCh lane and f.om-
bard street, that his house became the
headquarters Of marine insurance with
which the name of Lloyd's is now aSSn-
ciated Steele, in the Tattler. and Ad-
olson, in the Spectator notice Lloyd's
coffee house, the resort of merchants
and shipowners, and the Spectator of
April 20, III, gives an insight into the
manners and customs of its frequent
erS. 1t might reasonably be inferred
that coffee, which is soporifc and
nerves, would reduce the speculative
tendencies even of nautical men and
thus offer little inducement to those
desirous of procuring hazards on ships
But what seems to have been the case
was this: Something stronger than
coffee was indulged in at the coffee
houses, and. moreover, they were the
places of meeting of those who inter-
changed maratime experiences Each
patron of the coffee house reported
what he had heard-and. perhaDs.
some things he hadn't. The result of
these conferences was a more general
understanding Of the risks attending
navigation, and the practice of insur-
ing ships against loss led gradually to
other diversified and larger items of
insurance.
