No Data on Losses.
Insurance companies have not yet
been able to secure data on which 10
estimate how severely the losses have
fallen on them.
These cannot be fully estimated I'M
til the lists of dead and the damage
TO property is fully estimated.
The losses to American companies,
however. while probably severe, will
not approximate those Of the San
Francisco disaster. >
Lloyds will probably be the heavi-
est sufferer. ...-.
The character Of construction in
Japan insurance men say. has tended
TO keep property insurance at fairly
low mark with the American COM
panics
Probably the greatest advantage to
American trade, however, will lie III
other countries OF the Far East.
For years Japan has been a chief
factor in those countries. but with
her trade and commerce disorganized,
American firms have chance to cap
ture markets into which they have
been unable TO force a wedge.
American firms with agencies in
Japan are prepared to take full adj
vantage of this section, repairing i'm
mediately any damage that may have
been done 10 plants or goods.
American investors in Japanese Sc
curities expressed little fears as TO
their basic soundness, or the ability
OF the empire TO recover from its
crushing blow.
