Warrint.

The volume of Fire Insurance business in the Straits is largo and inerossing. The existing Company van only take a limited amount on any one block of buildings, and it is reasonable to suppose that a encond local Institution would command a goally share of the risks which are new going to far distant Companies, who offer Tastiere no participation in profits, and in which little or no Share interest is locally held.

It is notorions that Fire Insurance business in the Esat has for many years past been exceedingly profitable. Rate of Premium are well maintained, and the Co- has no intention of competing on pany Tower terms than
