INTERESTING PHASES OF THE

An Interesting phase of the after
effects of the San Francisco calamity
Ii found in the announcement from
New York that one Of the large fire
insurance companies has been ap-
preached by bankers who wish to
lend H. money with which to meet
San Francisco losses and take the
ecmpany's securities as collateral
for the loan. Similar offers have
been made or are to be made to other
insurance companies.
The object of the would-bc lend.

and bonds ow hed by the companies
off the market, as It is feared that
if many of those securities were
forced upon the market in order for
