Fire Losses in the United States

DURING the year 1865, the losses by fire in the United States exceeded forty-three millions of dollars, while the average for the preceding eleven years was just about half that amount. The losses during 1866 will probably double those of 1865, inasmuch as they were calculated in the beginning of July, after the great fire in Portland, at $44,286,000.
