show strong symptoms of eOneentTa- ton is the fire insurance business. The fire insurance companies have always been in a combination. and was one of the first trusts the coun- try had, but the trust feature was only for mutual protection, and for the purpose of preventing actual losses in their business by a ruinous cutting of rates. Perhaps there have been instances when the rates were higher than were just. but the rates were based upon the percentage of losses. and in cities and states where losses were exceedingly great. the rates were correspondingly higher
 The latest consolidation in fire in surance circles is the purchase of the Lancashire by the Royal both Eng lish companies. and both doing a biz business in the United States. Within the past few months prior to this deal there were nearly half dozen other consultations of companies in this country and England. It has not yet been determined whether or not the Lancashire will lose it's identity in the fire insurance world. The joint business will be conducted by the Royal. Both companies have many policies in Pine Bluff.
 1t remains to be seen whether the merging of the big fire insurance com panies vii result in an increased rate Of premiums. If the insurance com bInations follow the policy of other business interests which have combin- cd. rates will go higher. The insuran- anee=eempaniee gtFe the same reason for concentration that other business alliance have aiVen-agrtaiimant of apeeatiag expenses to minimum, thereby elteapenias the article to the baEe.-Det tho t1ae result has been an inefease of price on everything controlled by the trusts. However. it 1t not believed that such will be the case with fire insurance.
