the loss by fire in the United States and Canada,
during November, at 81. SOC, 0OO Although this is
$3.50, 600 more than the average November fire

it is encouraging. "a being less by
100000 than the figures of November,
1884, and $4.4O0,OOO less than those
of November, 1883. Moreover, August
September and October have shown a smaller
fire loss than the average of those months in
ten previous years. So that, in spite of the in
creased severity of fires in the first six months
of the current year, it now looks as if 1885
would enable insurance companies to at least
come out even on the years business Thus

fight, as the building was protected by iron
shutters at all the windows, and the firemen had
great trouble in getting at the blaze. The fire
soon ate its way through the roof. and floor

the iron stock. The east wall was
the first to come down, portion
falling into the foundry building, which
lies next to the main building. The other walls
soon followed in quick succession, forcing the
firemen back for protection. The west wall fell
over g. B. Pages oil warehouse. a long, two

of the south WALL which was forced out by the
falling in of the roof. The damage to the oil
warehouse is about $500, and to stock about ST.

LONDON, Feb. l6.-Great excitement
was occasioned here to-day by the riotous
conduct Of a large number Of unemployed
workmen. Three thousand paraded the
streets with banners bearing notices Of
their grievances. Several bands OF music

manded relief for the people they repre-
sented. They wanted immediate employ
