LLOYD'S SEES WAR'S END IN 1917.

QUOTING 30 GUINEAS PEK CENT. FOR PEACE POLICY TO DECEMBER 31.

Peace by the end of 1917. That at least is the impression of underwriters at Lloyd's, who are quoting 31) guineas per cent, for a peace policy extending to December 31, 1917. Jn case ot a policy covering the perio.l to the end of. the present year the rate quoted is oo guineas per cent, while .1 taken out for three months later a policy .would rule at 7U guineas per cent. The rate is (30 guueas to June 30, 1917, or 1-") guineas per cent, less i l ' the time be. extended to September of next yea', it looks as though The lato Lord Kitchener's estimate of three yca.'S would prove correct or thereabouts.
