HUGE SHIPPING LOSSES.

FLOODS GET WORSE. IN ENGLAND,

London, Dec. 10. One hundred thousand tons of shipping have already been whol- ly or partially disabled in the gales of the past week, but marine Insurance interests are of the opinion that although their losses ard heavy, they are lucky that the losges are not commensurate with the violence of the gales.

The captains of all ships ar- riving report the worst weather they have ever experienced.

Floods are getting worse in many parts of the country. Thera are three inches of snow in York shire and the gravest fears are felt that there will be a renewal ht of the Thames' floods of year.

The town of Reading has be- come an laland and lakes of soy- eral tnfles wide are dotted here and there along the Thames' Val- ley. Many main roads are onver- ed, the total rainfall for the past ten weeks being almost the same as the average rainfall in the Thames Valley for the whole, six winter months.
