The San Francisco FIRE represents
loss of $132.000.0O0 to the 1874 in
surance companies which report to
the New York commissioner Of in
surance. AS nearly all the COM
panies of any consequence in the
country as well as all the foreign
companies which do business in the
United States. have Offices in New
York, the 1892, 100000 will not be far
below the aggregate loss to the insur-
ance companies by that calamity.
Much OF the loss was not covered by
insurance at all, which indicates that
the aggregate destruction of property
in San Francisco must have been far
above $2OO.000,000, and thus exceeds
the loss by the Chicago fire of third
of a century ago. The insurance com
panies, however, have stood the
strain in 1906 much better than they
did in 1871. They are solder than
they were then, and the general bus
mess conditions throughout the couh'
try are far more stable than they
we're at that time.
