EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.

THE INSURANCES

WELLINGTON, July 26. The fire which did so m'ffcli damage at the Export Company's fellmongery at Ngahauranga last night was the second outbreak in the same building within a month. Last night's fire destroyed the upstairs portion of the iellmongery and the contents, .including a large quantity of wool, a large motor and generator, and several drying-machines. The machinery on the ground floor was damaged by water. The workmen u^ed the large Merryweather fire engine with good results, and the Ciby Fire Brigade also rendered excellent service, despite the fact that it was summoned at rather a late stage. The building was insured in the Alliance and other offices for £3550, and the plant, electrical fittings,'etc., in the same offices for £3080. ' The insurances on the wool were not available.
