are able to show a good margin of profit on the fires which have occurred during the year.

Benson's transactions, The total amount paid, it may he stated, by this Company for losses in the Ottawa and Hull conflagration in April last, was £37,496, Of this amount, however, 11,909 was recovered on account of re-insurances. The generally unfavourable experience of fire insurance com. panies, both in Canada and the United States' during the past two years, has led to advances in rates which, it is believed, will place the business on a more satisfactory footing.

In the last Annual Report the establishment of a Branch Office in London, England, was referred to, and it affords your Directors much' pleasure to be able to say that the progress made by this. Branch and the agencies con- nected with it has fully met their anticipations. Two half-yearly dividends at the rate of to and 8 per cent, per annum respectively have been declared.

As announced by circular to Shareholders In July last. It was decided to increase the cash capital of the Company to £410,000 by calling up the £205,000 subscribed and unpaid Capital in instalments of 10 per cent. each at intervals of two mouths. Two instalments fell dus before the close of the year, but the ma jority of Shareholders exercised the option which was given of unticipating the calls, and nearly two-thirds of the entire amount was paid in by 31st December.

The Directors have pleasure in calling atten- tion to the financial position which the Com- pany occupies the begining of the second half century of its corporate existence--offer- ing, as it does, the following security to its policy-holders :-

Capital paid up on 31st December... £338,505

Here I may remark upon a distinguishing feature of Marine business-especially such as 05-namely, the large proportion of the liability which, owing to the close of lake navigation, runs off, and the premiums on which are completely earned, before the 31st December in each year. It is incumbent upon every soundly managed company to reserve an amount to provide for running off-or reinsur ing-the liabilities under its current policies, General experience has proved that in fire insurance business one-third of the annual pre. mium income is an ample provision for this purpose It will therefore be a satisfaction to you to know that, after deducting that portion of our marine business upon which no liability remains at the end of the year-which may say represents more than one-fifth of our total income the amount of our estimate to provide for this contingent liability upon risks outstand ing on the 31st December is considerably in excess of the standard I have n med.

In conclusion I would say that the Directors desire express their appreciation of the services of the Officers and the Branch Mana. gers and Avents of the Company throughout its extended field of operations, realising as we do that to many of them such a year as we have just passed through has been a parti cularly trying one. They also wish to place on record their obligation to the Eart of Aberdeen, Sir John. Kennaway and Mr. James Stevenson, the members of the Advisory Board of our London Branch, for the valued advice and assistance they have rendered in advancing that Branch 10 its present satisfactory position. of the Report, which was carried unanimously. The Vice-President onded the adoption

The election of Directors for the ensuing year was then proceeded with, resulting in the unanirious re-election of the following gentle- sen, viz. Hon. Geo. A. Cox, Hon. S. C. Wood, Messrs. Robert Beaty, G. R. R. Cock burn, Geo. McMurrich, H. N. Laird, W. R. frock, J. K. Osborne and f. 1. Kenny.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors, held subsequently, Hon. Gro. A. Cox was re-elected President, and Mr. J. J. Kenny Vice-President for the ensuing year.

UNCLAIMED LEPOURS AT THE POST OFFICE.

The inagnitude of the losses by fire on the American Continent during the year 1900 is a matter of such publie notoriety that I feet, moving the adoption of the Report just read, that nothing in the way of an apology is called for-on account or on habago sheet showing resulis inuch less fammellé than those of avenga 'years. It may be of inserat, however,

1871, when the destruction of the City of Chi- cago was alone responsible for a loss aggregat ing some £10,000,000.. The most serious fire in which we were concerned last year. I need scarcely say, was that which in Apil last prics tically wiped out of existence the City of Hull and destroyed a large section of the adja. cent City of Ottawa. The loss of property in that conflagration is estimated at upwards of £2,000,000, and of this amount the insurance companies doing business in this colatry, were called upon to contribute nearly £800,000-or | Bayd, Mrs. J. close upon one-half of the total premiums recei ved during the year for fire insurance in Canada. That this Company should be largely involved | In a disaster of such magnitude, occurring in its home field, might naturally be expected; but we may at least claim that, taking into account our large Canadian business-representing as it does a premium income equal to nearly one. twentieth of the total premiuins received by all companies making returns to the Dominion Government-the amount of the net loss sustained through this conflagration cannot be deemed excessive; in fact, I think we may rather point to it as an evidence of judicious distribution of our risks on the part of those engaged in the management of the Company's business. It may be hoped that such disasters As this which unfortunately have been too frequently chronicled in the history' of this country, involving as they often do loss of life as well as destruction of property and distar bance in trade-will lead to closer attention. than has been shown heretofore on the part of our municipal authorities to the importaill niat ter of fire protection, and to the adoption and enforcement of more stringent building regula- tions in our cities and towns.

THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY,

THERAPIÓN.

This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the ilęskierata to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed

:

THERAPION No. 1, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, effectually superseding injections, the use of which does irreparable harm- by laying, the foundation of stricture and other serious dis eases.

In dysentery, piles, irritation of the lower bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious, affording prompt relief where other well-tried remedies have been powerless.

THERAPION No. 2, for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains

and swellings of the joints, secondary symp

toms, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all diseases for which it has been too much, e fashion to employ mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of the sufferer's teeth and ruin of health. This preparation purifies the whole system through the blood, and throughly eliminnies every poisonous matter from the body.
