NEW YORK. June 2S.- Postpone

NOUS loss to the underwriters, says
a London dispatch to the Journal OF
Commerce. An underwater of promin-

viii have to be faced win anouat to

weeks policies have been steadily APP
piled for and readily granted insur-
ing the risk OF the coronation not tax
ing place on the ssth and 27th inst.
During the past day or two since ru-
mofs OF the kings illness have been
prevalent few policies OF this kind
were written and then only at exor-
bitant rates but prior to the tisquiet-
ing reports. heavy business had been
been transacted with those who had
stands on which they intended 10
least seats, ira iesgnen whose interests
would suffer and innumerable individ-
uals and corporations whose financial
loss would be serious in the event of
postponement. The rates charged in
April were u to Is guineas par cent.

ago 1t had gotten down to five guineas

During the recent smallpox excite
ment Lloyds underwriters issued thou
sands OF policies against catching the
disease at a rate of IS, Sd. per cent
a OF l per cent? and had only a few
claims TO meet.
The underwriters also came out ex-
ceedingly well on their speculation
as to the Queens Jubilee procession
of 1897, and all Who had won on that
occasion went in for the coronation
premiums as greedily as If there had
been no risk to be feared, and the
premium was all profit Others kept
aloof from such commitments in con-
nection with the jubilee, plunged in
hungrily on the coronation gamble.
Many Of the underwriters have pol
icies on the life Of the king for six
months. The rate for the last week
was 10 guineas per cent G012 per cent?
but il rose on Tuesday to 80 guineas
