deduced from review OF the figures
showing the FIRE loss in the United

year, and that Is that, while not b.
any means small they have shown a
tendency toward dlmLaution since the
beginning Of the year The amount
for August was $i4,1SS, 000--the small.
est for any month of the present year.
For the first eight months of 1912 the
