New York.-The Titanic was insured
at Lloyds for 100000 according to
advices from London and it was said
here that the international Mercantile
Marine company also carried a surplus
fund for insurance purposes which
could be applied on the loss. The cost
of building the great liner has been
estimated at s10,000,O00, although Vice
President Franklin of the White Star

over $8,OOO,0O0.
