Undr.-wrlter*.
Nkw Yors. Dec. 7.—It is expected
that a meeting of traders in cotton will
be h :ld in this city within a few days
for the purpose of discussing the recent
circular issued by the fire insurance
men relative to the transfers of insur
ance on cotton. In speaking of the
matter a member of the board of fire
underwriters said: “It ' is a fact that
over ninety per cent, of the prominent
insurance companies throughout the
country have signified their disapproval
of the plan to change the rules.
Some of the members of the cotton
exchange are very" outspoden in their
disapproval of the attitude assumed *
the underwriters. They have prtpai
for publication a statement in which
they declare that the premiums for in
surance on cotton are higher than they
can afford to par under the existing cir
cmnstances. On the other hand, the
underwriters insist that the inaugura
tion of cheaper rates would be unfair to
stockholders in insnranee companies.
There is in business circles great diver
sity of opinion as to the probable out
come of the controversy between traders
in cotton and managers of fire insurance
companies.
