There arc four periods in the recent history
0f fire underwriting which remain painfully
memorable to the profession, says the New
York Bulletin, however easy it may be for the
public to forgot them. At the end of 1866, the
year Of tho Portland fire (which, it is timely
to rembeT, gave single frlsky tirccrackcr the
chance TO destroy $lOOOOODO worth Of pro-
perty) the local and other State companies
reporting to the New York insurance depart
mcnt had to confess an impairment of capital
aggrcgating nearly $3,OOO,O0O, after losing be-
sides whatever surplus they had previous
ly accumulated. After the Chicago fire Of
1871, which swept off S500OOoO0 Of in
surance capital and utterly destroyed sixty
eight New York companies. whose capital
and surplus reached $24 SOL 1O9 many of the
survivors were forced to weep over the wiping
out of all their surplus funds, and others to
repair breaches of capital amounting to from
$4,000 up to as much as S2500,000 in one in
stance. Then, in the next year, came the
Boston contIagratiOn, which brought
eternal grief to the thirty-twO New
York companies, and absorbed a total
OF $37,00O000 of insurance capital And
finally we have the more recent episode
of St John, where S6,5SS,OO0 OF insur
ance money Of New York companies was so
effectually cremated. Here, adds the Bulle-
tin. are four lurid spots in the latter-day
annals Of the underwriting business which
cost our New York insurance companies
about 500, 900 to wipe them out, thereby
discounting at a swoOp all hope Of profit for
many year. Meanwhile too, the depicting
process has gone on at the rate of $40,00OO0O
to 100000 900 year, apart from these exoep-
tional but not improbable contIagrations The
Bulletin closes with the prophecy that the
great New York fire is bound to come sooner
or later. which will bankrupt scores of this
class Of offices, and send the mOurners about
the streets"
