Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. reported a 17 percent rise in net income for the first quarter, but the increase was not enough to meet analysts' estimates.

The Itasca, Ill.-based brokerage reported first-quarter net income of $19.8 million, or 20 cents per share, compared with $17.1 million, or 17 cents per share in the first quarter last year.

Bear Stearns analyst David Small said the earnings figure missed his estimate by 11 cents and consensus by 6 cents.
