Boston Fire.
The insurance companies OF this city
cannot have incurred much loss by the
last great fire in Boston. The English
companies will be the heaviest losers,
the American companies having been
very cautious in accepting Boston risks
since the first great Boston fire. But
the losses even OF English companies
will not be as great as was anticipated.
The following may be relied upon as
near the correct figures: The Queens
Insurance Company cannot lose over
S2O,O0O the North British and Mercan-
tile not exceeding $4,000; the Liver
pool, London and Globe not exceeding
$6 900; and the Imperial $4,000.
The Boston risks Of the Royal COM
pany are generally supposed to be fully
equal to the Liverpool, London and
Globe. The Lancashire will sustain a
loss of from $4,000 to $4,000. The
London Assurance Association reports
q total loss OF 10000 Continent 3,7OG
