Canada Increased it's fire losses $2G4,-
600 last year over the record of'05, with
an Increase of $4,000 in premiums.
The rate cutting among the plate
glass insurance companies has received
it's quictus. They all contract to re-
place the glass broken, and, as the
price has gone up over 100 per cent,
their present contracts practically
double their risks.

dency.
Philadelphia business men are ex-
cited over the low rates for fire in
surance now current in New York, and
think they deserve a reduction of 20 to
30 per cent. The losses last year were
unusually high, but they claim that the
record for series Of years justifies their
demand.
