to say that 1.-THE reduction of over
fourteen millions in the fire loss ac,
counts for 1896, as compared with
1895, has been very decidedly felt by
the fire underwriters. They had in
the year just closed a happy combi
nation of high rates and light losses
and their gains have been hand
some"
But while this is encouraging, look
at the other side of the picture

of the cOuntry's wealth which has
been absolutely and utterly de
stroyed. Had the Treasury los
