A PROSPEROUS YEAR
Enjoyed BY Fire and Marine Insurance
Companies In Connecticut.

Hartford. ct, March 25.-Fire and
marine insurance companies doing
business in Connecticut during the
past year have had a prosperous year,
according to the annual report given
out by Insurance Commissioner Theo-
dore Macdonald today. The net I'M

per cent. on the premiums written. The
effect of the recent financial depres-
sion is shown by the shrinkage in the
marketable value of the companies Sc
curities. and these losses have been
so great that few companies have been
able to show ar increase in surplus
after the payment of dividends.
The entire volume of business of the
Jas companies doing business in the
state for 1907 has been $257.129.54S, of
which more than 227OO0,OOO was the
