Loses w re heavy ln 1900, many companiea were foretd to quit the buslners. ami those thal held on did so ln the belief i bat the worst had bn-- passed and thal better rondlilons were inevitable. Instead of that the losses for the year til the I'nited States aie $20,000,000 greater than in 1j0 The result lias been a number of reinsurances, retirements and amalgamations of companies unprecedented since tha year of the Chicago fire, when so many companies were ruined. Fourteen stock, companies and eight mutuals have retired absolutely from the field, beside a' great number of small mutual and assessment companies. Scores of have retirrd from the West, the South or buth, or have materially restricted their writing in the sections of the country where they bad auffered most. As a result business men needing largo amounts of Insurance have been unable to- get It, and a horde of wildcat companies and Irresponsible Lloyds have been', started, to prey upon tlie necessities of the people. The losses for the entire year are put at $152.0x4,414, as against $130,U2X,030 In 1900. and $119,696,000 ln D99. Life Insurance has closed the most prosperous year ln its history. The people have been prosperous and have been Investing their money liberally In endowment policies and ordinary life policies for the benefit of their families. It is believed that the total of new butineav written during the year by the legal reserve companies will be $1,500,000,000. and1 that their insurance In force will amount to $7,500,000,0u0.
