INSURANCE RATES IN JAPAN.

It is expected that the prop oss for an uniform rate of premiums will result in failure owing to the unwillingness of the foreign in- surance concerns to participate in the proposed convention. The convention, according to the Jap". an Mail, has been drawn up by the Committee specially appoint- ed by the Associated inspirazce Companies for the purpose, on the condition that the fire insurance companies operating in this coun try, foreign and domestic, should join in the convention. In 1907, when a conventional tariff was established for the first time in

competition then going on, the foreign concerns were excluded from the convention, she foreign companies not then operating in ordinary insurances. Now they run every line of the business and their annual receipts represent one-fourth of the total earnings of the insurance interests in' this country. Therefore, it is, as some of the Japanese fire insurance in* terests maintain, scarcely wise: 10. erolude the foreign companies trom the present tariff convention, as in the ouse of the previous ouie, if the companies seriously desire the discontinuance of the present competitive rates. On the side of the foreign companies it is deemed highly inadvisable to bind themselves by joining the tariff convention, as outside of it they will be free to encroach on the ground bitherto held by the domestic concerns and offer any rates they like. This being the case, the Japanese companies-wall-Metals, hardly succeed in inducing their foreign confrares to participate in the convention. However, their representives are to meet in con- to ference, and start negotiations with the foreign concerns.
