Insurance Companies
Under the head of Life, Fire, and Marine
Insurance, these companies, as a class, have
been more steadily successful than others. Most
of these concerns are making large profits, and
their shares command a high premium; so high,
indeed, that an investment at current prices
yields but a moderate rate of interest. The
risks undertaken by insurance offices are enor-
mous in extent, but the law of average by which
they are conducted is so accurate that, taken in
the long run, and with sufficient business main-
tained, misfortune is almost impossible. In all
cases, however, so little is called up of the
nominal amount of their shares, that a very
large liability attaches to them.
