HEAVY LOSSES
The Marine Insurance Companies Report an
Awful Season

The Marine Insurance Companies Report an
Awful Season
NEW YORK, March 11.-An official
of one Of the insurance companies of
this city which makes a speciality of as
suming maritime risks has received
circular from Lond6n stating that from
January up to February 27. this year.
the various English companies have
lost s2,000,000 sterling in shipwrecks,
The loss exceeds any estimate for the
same period within twenty years. The
estimate for the two months, according
to the circular, is a low one. and 1t is
thought that fully a5o0,0O0 will have to
be added to the amount to make the
figures correct. thus making in all the
enormous loss of nearly f2,500000 for
the first fifty-nfne days Of this year.
Careful examination Of the various loss
es show that fully fifty per cent are at
tributed to what are officially known as
missing" vessels.
