PROFIT N INSURANCE
MINNESOTA COMPANIES ARE NOT
DOING BUSINESS ON A Los
ING BASIS
SOME FIGURES ON FIRE RISKS
They Place the State in the Front
Rank as AZ Desirable Local
ity for the BUS
IneSs.

Contrary to the general condition ex-
listing all over the country fire insurance
companies doing business in Minnesota
made profit, rather than a loss of 8
per cent upon the premium receipts In
surance Commissioner OShaughnessy
has completed ngures upon the fire busi-
ness in Minnesota which places this state
in a front rank as a desirable state for
insurance risks The fire companies Of
the United STATES lost upwards of $15,-
Oo0,O0O last year. while the business done
in Minnesota shows a profit. The follow
ing is a statement of the business for
1893:
Total premiums, $4,176,978; losses, So 163,-
$40; Increase in premiums received over
1885, 1882 AGO; increase in losses incurred
over 1896, $2SS, 761.
The average rate per hundred was $126
or live cents less than that of the year
before. The average loss ratio was 81
per cent, or per cent greater than in
1898 Marine insurance shows an increase
of 100000, 900 over 1898. The total business
written was $1l7 943,GS7. The large stride
in this business is accounted for by the
greatly increased vGIume OF traffic on
Lake Superior. The premium receipts
We're Si62, 49, and losses were $3S3 695.
The mutual fire companies advanced
their rates last year from $1.S9 to 81 per
$10U and their loss ratio decreased from
C2 per cent in 1885 to IA per cent last year.
The effect of last winters legislation.
by means of which the department was
enabled to haul the mutual hail COM
panies up short on salaries and fees, is
shown in their statement, in which their
expenses for 1899 are shown to have been
$7S, ,29S or $4,000 less than they were in
1885, On the other hand. their losses
were $17O,295, or $4,000 greater than in
1895.
