RESULTS

>

:

Despite the improvement in third quarter results, the under-,
writing records of most fire and casualty insurers for the ninemonth period are not as favorable as a year ago. This is due
prin¬
cipally to the heavy fire, windstorm and hail losses experienced
during the first half in addition to the. impact of Hurricane Carla
on September results.
An improvement in underwriting profitabil¬
ity has generally been experienced in the casualty lines—auto¬
mobile, fidelity and surety, general liability, and workmen's com¬
pensation—but the increased profits or reduction in losses in these
lines has not been sizable enough to offset the deterioration in the
property lines which were most heavily effected by the adverse
weather conditions of the early months of the year.

increasing use of merit rating in the automobile field have restricted
