pany, of which NJ. H. Johnson IS agent, have given notIce that they will retire from the State on March 3, considering that the law will debar them. It Is said that practically all of the surety companies are members of some sort of a rating bureau. Inquiry among the representatives of the other companies indicate that they are daily expecting instruc- tions from the home offices to cease writing business.
 Should these companies all re- tire, surety conditions will revert to the old personal bond system, which has many features which are most unsatisfactory. These companies write fidelity bonds for government revenue, postofhCe and other official bonds, bank employees and positions of trust in mercantile establishments.

Companies Will Withdraw.

New York, March 9.-At a special meeting of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, to be held here next Monday at , o'clock, the committee will rec ommend that the fire insurance companies withdraw in body from Arkansas on March g. the date on which the law goes into effect. This action was decided on today by the combined Arkan- sas committee of the Representa- tives of the Eastern Union, and the National Board of Fire Un- derwriters.
 Counsel have advised the under writers that the law is without doubt unconstitutional, but 1t seems that the companies do not care to involve themselves in the prosecutions which would follow infractions of the law. Well in- formed persons believe that some companies, particularly those having large business in Ark ansas, will continue there under whatever plan may seem most expedient in each case.
