the year 1897, are spop.snok a sole that galia impossible that the underwriting bala sarried format for 1807 can cover the lotsus of 1897 In plainer words, it is represented to 18, by perarar versed in insurance, that i capital of the Straits Insurance Company is not really intact, but the known and consonably expented liabilities of 1897 will inevitably make a sahatantial hole in that capital. It is far ther argued that inasmuch as the Company is nitaiteil to be restrióting its business dee cam- net so really restrict is expenses, and since the Company cannot expect to obtain a prefer nco in first class hupinces, therefore the our look for the future is likely to be oven wother than the saltu of the past. It is further presented to us tantinesmuch as oneh twenty dollar share ourrice with it a liability for mighty stars, and inasmuch as thore i How no reserve fund upon which to fall back, the position of the abatoholders must be ex ceedingly uncomfortable. On all these con tentions, it is urged apen, ns that the Straits Insurance Company ought to be wound up.
Sabject to some definite and pruciae oo tradiction on the part of the Directors of the Straits Insurance Company, we are disposed to think that that Company ought to be worn

list three months of 1898, and s assertion, on the part of the Directors they are reasonably confident that the 197 nocounts will show a profit. And even aliy precio ossertion might not carry very wel weight, since it was represented, a yea that tho Chairman and Director the st ticipated a profit from the working of the year 1896, the very year which has proved en die astrous to the Company. In further, consider ing the matter, it is impossible to avoid potihe that the twenty-dollar shares of the Company are only saleable at twoles dollars, and that the porson who he is such a twelve-dollar siste ins to par with it a liability to pay up, if dold be, a further sum of sight dolare. Obviously hear if by any arrangement of selling the busted ez reissuring risks, I were possible to witn the Company on the nominal oasis of her cently inched report, thoro might arison E substantial advantage to the prescutshe

If the existing floating business could possibly he got rid of in such a way as to avoid further losses, it might then.bo tlist the Tajul slators would be able to rentizo from the a546f8 something approaching twenty dollars, which is the nominal value of each share. If that could be done, mar, it only fifteen oc sialoug dollars per share sould be realized, that would be a substantial advantage to the man who hokis share which is only worth twolve dollars at pro sent, and which carries the liability to po eighty dollars further.
