900 to So, 800, 00G Allowing 81, 600 600 for
losses by fires ut which less than SIG
900 was sustained. gives a total OF
S. 250. 600 as the approximate wastsge by fra
in October, which exceeds anything reported
in any October since the great Chicago FIRE of
1871. Few OF our most experienced under
writers will hesitate to admit that both IN
number and costliaess the fires of 1881, par
ticularly during the rast four months, have
been quite exceptional that not many conn
panie5 are likely to come out ahead ON the

will show loss at the end of the year.
