Recent : 1 CASUALTY INSURANCE UNDERWRITING Third quarter underwriting results for most fire and casualty in¬ surance companies were somewhat better than in the comparable period of 1960, The improvement in the profit margin was achieved despite the losses incurred in Hurricane Carla and the continuing heavy property losses from both fire and windstorm causes. Indi¬ cations that the are industry Aetna 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. A ■ ■■ Premium volume advanced 3%-5% Insur.—. 160 overall in the nine-month period with higher gains indicated for specialty underwriters. The gain in premiums written was slightly less than in the comparable period of 1960 as the lingering effect of the 1960-1961 recession on certain lines, the rate reductions on Homeowners' policies and the increasing use of merit rating in the automobile field have restricted volume gains.
