it is not known whether it was
from the lack of religion or
superabundance of intellect that
they staid at home but possibly
it was for the lack of a stovepipe.

INSURANCE STOCKS SMASH.
Unprecedented Drop Recorded iR the
Liverpool Exchange.
Special Gable Despatch to TIE SUN.

Special Gable Despatch 10 TIE sun.
LIVERPOOL, April 2o,-The Stock Ex-
change was in a nervous state to-day. All
fire insurance shares came down with a run
unparalleled in Liverpool's history, the fall
in the Edinburgh exchange extending in
one case to $40 a share. An urgent meeting
of the insurance companies has been sum
moned to decide upon concerted action.
During two days the fall in insurance
shares has been as follows: Royal. 1o'+;
Liverpool and London and Globe, Q; Com
mercial Union. o; London and Lancashire. 8;
The Scottish companies are unprotected
by an earthquake clause.
The losses Of the German insurance COM
panies are conservatively estimated at
$40, O00. 900.
LONDON. April to.-The shares of the
London fire insurance companies have
fallen rapidly since Wednesday. The total
depreciation is estimated TO be about
&c. 900, 900. The heaviest drops we're in
the shares of the Royal Exchange Com
pany. they showing a decline Of 1917; on
don Assurance, which went of l2i!, and
Phoenix. which declined Ga.
Nevertheless, inquiries at the Offices of
the companies do not encourage pessimism.
The officers are, Of course, unable yet to
indicate the amount of the claims, but all
profess full expectation of meeting them
without question. They say the confidence
the Americans have shown in the British
companies since the Chicago fire will not be
found to have been misplaced. One officer
said:
I'VE have lean and fat periods. Dis
asters seem TO come in cycles, and we pre-
pare for them. The past few years have
been fat ones for the companies. Last
year can be classified as one of the latest"
He added that the managers met in Lon
don to-day and discussed, among other
things, the earthquake exclusion clause
in the policies, but he could say that nothing
had been lone al the meeting because no
definite official information had been re-
ceived. The companies we're awaiting
advices from their American agents. The
officers generally deprecate the alarm at
the stock exchanges as wholly unwarranted
and even foolish.
1t is stated in insurance circles that the
San Francisco risks undertaken by the
London and Liverpool and Globe and the
Royal companies are largely covered by
reinsurance in Great Britain and America.
In Germany the heaviest burden will fall
on the Munich Reinsurance Company, the
largest reinsurance concern in the world.
It is anticipated that complete disaster
will befall several American and English

do no know whether our agents are alive
or dead. We have a very active man in
Oakland. but we have heard nothing from
him"
Asked whether he could make an esti-
mate Of the amount the companies would
have to pay, Mr., Snow said;
Until we know with some e1actness
