Loss Of Grain. etc, In chicago.

On the Both of September there we're
in store at Chicago 1917 ,0S5 bushels of
,chedt. .926 600 bushels of corn, 1,544,
$40 bushels of oats, 419,924 bushes of
barley. As the business portion of the
city was almost entirely Destroyed
warehouses, grain-elevators. railroads
depots, etc, it is fair to presume that but
little of this vast amount of cereals has es-
capped the fire; and as the fall stocks of
every sort were probably very full,
Chicago merchants do nothing "by
halves') the immense loss in grain, gro
ceries, dry goods, etc, will be sensibly
felt by the country at large.-The entire
loss of property is variously estimated
at from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty millions of dollars.
Whether the insurance companies can
pay the fifty per cent of insurance which
on a moderate estimate represents the
interest of the underwriters in the loss,
remains to be tested. While 1t is to be
hoped that the companies may meet
their engagements, we do not think there
is a very general expectation of this re-
suit. 1t is staggering blow, and scarce
ly to have been anticipated in the widest
calculation of probabilities. Monetary
and commercial circles have not yet COM
pretended the full measure of the loss
