As Eastern Companies appear mostly to use Furopean mortality tables adjusted in various ways, I think that Mr.King's suggestion might be adopted.

tables of premiums for endowment assurances and for policies by limited payments should be required. In view of the greatly increased importance of endowment insurance this suggestion should be adopted. Question 6. Seo paragraph of Mr.King's letter of 10th October. As the Board of Trade has sanctioned a de-
