INSURANCE men
ESTIMATE LOSSES.
"
Sum the Companies Are Expected

$500, 100000.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
New York, April 21.-Fire insurance
men radically revised today their esti-
,mates of the loss the various companies
would have to pay as result OF the
great confiagratlon In San francisco:
\ Yesterday it was believed that the total
loss to the insurance companies would
run somewhere between $40 900 900 and
$50 200, 000.@ Today it was the general
opinion that the insurance companies
would have to pay out fully 100000
900 and few men made estimates run
ming as high as 100000. -
All Of these estimates, it was stated,
were merely guesses which might prove
to be far from the fact when settle
ments were made. Several companies
heard today for the first time from their
San Francisco representatives, but the
messages contained little that could be
used as basis for calculating losses.
None of the insurance men. will adj
ability of all the companies to meet the
losses. During the present year lO7
different companies were doing business
in California and it is figured that the
San francisco losses will be, divided
among ninety-seven.
In the Chicago fire there were. 335
companies affected. The total loss was
$50, S21,122. Fifty-fve companies were
forced to suspend. The resources Of the
companies of thirty-fve years ago were
very small compared with those Of to-
day. That some of the small western COM
panies which carried a proportion of
their business in San Francisco may not
survive the strain is deemed probable.
In the case of the Baltimore fire, where
the total insurance loss was 100000,
: two of the local companies failed. ..
. ~ Prompt Payment Ordered. - -
zs7 Arrangements for paying as. soon as
the losses can be adjusted are already
being made by several of the large com
panies. The home office of the London,
liverpool & Globe cabled it's office in
this city today that all San Francisco
losses would be paid in full Immediately
= on adjustment. The assets of the com
pany in this country will not be dis
tturbed, all of the loss payments being
made from funds at the home office.
~ The North British & Mercantile
company cabled it's New York office to
pay all losses as soon as adjustment
could be made and also to- contribute

the local adjusters will have collected

work of arranging settlements. ~
