 It is utterly impossible to give. as yet, anything like @ correct or complete list of individual losses.

 Insurance Commissioner Morrill, was asked | to-day as to the probable effect the fire losses would have upon the insurance companies. He said 'tWith the exception of two or three of the new or smaller oom- panies there is no probability that these l losses will break them. It is possible that | the surplus of less than half dozen will be wiped out and the capital somewhat impair ed, but in nearly all these cases they will probably be able to continue business. So l far as the losses are at present reported, there is no danger but that the companies | will be fully able to meet them.
