Immensely in proportion to their numbers.
All but two had agencies in Chicago. aud be-
ing represented by energetic and string men

nate city. For some days after the fire it
was generally hoped that every company in
San Francisco would be able to meet their
losses and continue business. As the work
of adjustment proceeded, it was found their
losses were greater than first reported. Un-
der such circumstances. people insured in
the local companies that had transacted bust
ness in Chicago, generally commenced insur-
ing in other companies. The leading local
company, the Pacific, announced that losses
proving greater than anticipated, the conpa-
ny would make no new contracts until fur
Their notice. The Union Fire Insurance Com
pany pays its losses and continues its bust

the general opinion, that at least three of the
San Francisco companies will pay their lia-
bilities and discontinue business. 1t is a
cause Of general regret that these companies
should be wiped out in such short time, a
few days ago the Pacific stood before the peo-
pie with a million and half of dollars as Sc
curity against losses by fire, to-day if reports
are true it will require several hundred thou

pay their Chicago liabilities. Such des-
