Insurance Commissioner Cole, VIII
says that from all information ht
has, he thinks the companies will
moke mere money this than last
year Just how much cannot, of
course, be told until the annual re-
ports are received by the insurance
department. Several reasons can be
assigned according to Mr.. Cole, for
the improved aspect of insurance
affairs in Mississippi from financial
standpoint. First, the 25 per cent
advance, applied in Mississippi, on
certain classes Of risks, has yielded
liberal returns. Then there have
been no large Ere losses during the
year to lower profits. 1t was at
first thought the cotton situation
might result ia the companies losing
money, but it is now thought the
reduced amount Of Insurance owing
to Inconvenience, is set off by in
creased premiums which companies
collect from successive marks and
numbers policies substituted for
former blanket policies. Last year
six companies withdrew from Mis-
sissippi but it is thought that the
satisfactory character of the busi-
ness for the year just passing may in
duce other companies to enter this
field Which seems to yield a fair
retnrn.
