Loss VIII Be Enormous.

A press dispatch of yesterday says
that enormous insurance losses will re
suit from the sinking of the Titanic.
If many of the men among the first
cabin passengers are lost the total
may approach $5O,0O0000. The vessel
itself is understood to have cost $10,-
100000, with an insurance of approx
mately 81 100000, the bulk of which is
placed in London Loyd's. In addition
it is estimated that $10,000,000 of in
surance has been placed chiefly in
Lloyd's ON specie, bullion and Sc
eurities in transit. This is the heaviest
single loss the London Lloyd's has
ever suffered and follows a series of
unusually large losses at sea during re-
cent years. Business at Lloyd's was
practically suspended today, offers
from this country receiving no atten
ton
Heavy losses are also involved on
property of passengers, insurance on
high grade cargo carried and liability
and damage claims which may be laid
against the steamship company. These
will fall on the international Mercan-
tile Marine corporation which main
tains an insurance which was more
than wiped out by this single disaster.
The liability of the steamship com
pany for property of passengers is
limited to 800 for each passenger, but
special insurance can be arranged
with the company by the fling of
special statement of value and the
payment of the premium. In addition
the company is liable for over mil
lion dollars, under the British compen-
sation act for the death of the crew
assuming that all of the 500 are gone.
