HORSE INSURANCE RATES ADVANCED Lexington, Ky., December 29. In announcing to breeders and owners of thoroughbred horses that on January 1 all rates for horse insurance will be advanced one per cent, making the lowest rate seven per cent, John A. Payne, general agent for one of the leading live stock insurance companies of the world, said: "The large number of losses suffered by the company in the death of race horses during the year, would indicate that this class of business, on account of the shipping hazards and diseases caused therefrom, cannot be successfully written at our present rates."
