INSURANCE LOSSES IN 1884.

II appears from the statements In the insurance
papers that the presen; year has been very dis
asirous one for insurance companies throughout
the country. While there have been no very ex-
tensive eonhagrations the number Of fires has
been 80 great tha, the aggregate losses are ex-
postcd by December 3lI TO reach the enormous
sum Of 500. 0.O00.O 900. 4 full share Of this Jc-
sruciion of property has fallen the lot Of eiti
Eens Of our own State, where quite \ number Of
bad fires have occurred during tue year. II il the
generally expressed opinion among insurance men
that the rate of insurance l., in most cases, too
low, AMI that ads ance on many Glasses Of prop
erty Is impcTa,ively ncccssary, while much greater
care l. required IN the examination of all proper
iy offered for insurance. Experience has proven
