THE decision of the Directors of the China and Japan Marine Insurance Company to wind up its affairs and distribute ita assets in accordance with the wish of the share- holders cannot fail to meet with general approval. The shares have already risen in value four per cent, business having been done at Tla. 110.

No movement is reported in Chinese Insurance Company's shares as yet, but we should think an improvement may be looked for. These two are the only companies in China not conducted on the mutual principle, and they divide certain proportions of the profits among all the contributors, shareholders or not, They are therefore likely to receive a considerable proportion of the business of the expiring Company.
