An innovation which should prove of value lo small .shippers is announced by the Messacerics Mariliincs Company; This well-known shippiii'r company is now issuing a new bill of h'.ding which enables shippers to insure their freighis with the company at favourable rales, thus obviating Ihe necessity of insuring with an outride lirm as at present. Claims for i;oods not insured with the company will be treated as heretofore, and lho:-:o for lo?6 or damagi l adiriilt.ed under the new polio,v •will be settled l>v the company's agents on behalf of the company's insurance department. Whilst it is unlikely that the new arrangement will affect large shippers to any appreciable extent, its value to small shinpc.rs is undoubted. The example thus set by the Messageries Company will doubtless be followed shortly by other largo lines.
