London, Sept. 16-The commercial loss in Smyrna as a result of the great fire in enormous, all reports agree and falls to great extent upon foreigners. Apparently the whole trading quarter was consumed with its enormous stores of goods.
 Members of British firms engage q in the Levantine trade say the results will be calaritous to them while numbers of prosperous Greek and Ar menian traders face ruin. The dried fruit, carpet tobacco and cotton trades are among the worst sufferers.
 Heavy Losses Reported.
 M. Cerreti the secretary of the Smyrna Chamber of Commerce told the Daily Express that more than 4o,ooo,ooo pounds of British capital was sunk in syrna and the surround ing district.
 The loss of the dried fruit crop will be a heavy blow The seasons export trade had just begun the crop was above the average and nearly 100000 tons were awaiting ex- portation. All of this was burned If the accounts of the area covered by the fire are accurate.
 It is believed a number of London insurance offices stand to lose severely.
 The British and French govern ments have instructed their high com. at .Constantinople to notify Mustapha Renal Pasha that the neu- tral zones established under the flags of the three great powers must be respected. Great Britain maintains, however, that it would be futile and dangerous in view of the excited mood and extravagant claims of the kem- alists to trust simply to diplomatic action.
