trary charge of depreciation of equipment
being increased by approximately $780, 600
per month.
The ruling of the interstate commerce
commission whereby income instead of
exnenses is credited with a considerable
proportion of car hire balances, also tends
to reduce net operating revenues. The eff
feet of these fixed increases in expenses
becomes more marked with the falling off
of traffic now general throughout the
country.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The improvement In the general finan-
cial market, of course, has an influence
much wider than the confines of Wall
street, and is felt here in an easier con-
dition of money. more hopeful outlook
with some expansion Of business. The
latter phase of the situation, however.
Is not marked as yet. as the daily record
OF the trading at the meetings of the
stock exchange sufficiently indicates.
There is no expectation of much change
In this respect just at the present time.
but as the situation throughout the coun-
try alters for the better it may be ex-
pected that local conditions both in the
financial and commercial world as we'll
as IN al branches of activities. will faith
tuIiy reflect what has taken place.
There was nothing of consequence that
occurred at the meeting of the stock ex-
change today, and as usual the securities
OF the washington Railway Company
claimed the largest share of the time and
the attention of those present. There was
nothing done in the common stock, but
number Of the bonds were sold, and also
some shares of the preferred stock The
buying was from the same source as that
of previous days, and the fact that the
books for the transfer of the stock c.osed
yesterday did not prevent that security
from selling at a higher figure than has
been paid for several days past.
AS far as the current gossip is concerned
nothing new has developed in the stu
alton except perhaps what is indicated
from the statement attributed to promi-
nent figure in the financial circles, that
man has been selected for the presidency
of the system by certain interests. From
the same source also comes the informa-
ton that he is a practical railroad man.
It would have added to the interest of
this statement If 1t had included the as
SertiOn that he was also a local man, but
that was not the case. There is no change
in the program, which seems to be gen.
orally acquiesced in, that the board of d.
rectors will be made up Of local men.
What is meant exactly by a practical
man in this connection seems to be capa-
BILE of rather wide Interpretation, and does
not appear to discourage those who think
that the president of one of the leading
banks of the city is slated for that place.
1t Is supposed should he turn his atten-
ton from the bank to the railway sys-
tenn that the filling of his place at the
head Of the bank would mean the shift
ing of one of two men who now hold re-
sponsible positions with two Of the we'll
known financial institutions of the city.
However, what is talked about on the
street is not always carried out in di-
rectors' rooms, and, in addition, 1t Is by
no means assured that before the election
day of the railway company next month
there may be other combinations with a
different object. Still, it is claimed what
ever happens the several interests which
are understood to exist are not going to
fall out With each other if it can be pre-
vented

Bank Statement.
pIsTILLERY DIVIDEND CUT.
But Prohibition Isn't to Blame,
says President.

NEW YORK. December N.-The Dis
tfllers' Securities Corporation yesterday
declared a quarterly dividend of one-half
of 1 per cent, as compared with declara-
tions Of III per cent in the previous quar-
ter of the year, thus reducing the divi-
dend rate from per cent to per cent
per annum. In a statement sent to stock
holders by E. ]. Curley, the president, the
cut in the dividend is attributed entirely
to the panic, with the resultant heavy ex.
pense incurred by paying premiums on
currency with which to pay internal reve-
nue. taxes. The prohibision movement is
declared to be not even a contributory
cause Of the company's decrease in earn
ings. In fact Mr.. Curley intimates that
prohibition Is a good thing for the bust
ness.
with reference to the prohibition move
ment," he says, ''it Is unnecessary to go
into details, but IT can be stated as a
fact, based upon long experience and STA
tistics, that all attempts to regulate the
traffic by statute and the enforcement Of
restrictive legislation have resulted In an
increase In the per capita consumption
n, the state affected. The effect of pro
hibition laws Is only to change the chan
nels and methods of distribution"
Mr.. Curley explains that II is the expert
ence of those long engaged In the whisky
business that the volume Of business
during times of financial depression Is not
materially changed" The trouble has no,
been due to a decrease in the consump-
ton of spirituous liquors, but principally
TO the currency premium.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 21.-There was
an absolute dearth of news In the
stock market today that made itself
felt in securities by combining their
fluctuations to very narrow limits.
The bank statement. always the en-
crossing interest of Saturday, was the
subject of much discussion, in view of the
predictions that had gone out to the ef-
feet that the deficit would be cut down
materially. but traders generally declared
that the absence of more definite reports
Of the movements of money during the
week prevented any logical estimate of a
deficit that would approximate the facts.

Distillers were the most conspicuous Sc
curities in the list The latter, after SELL
ing down "a points as result of the
heavy reduction in the dividend announced
late yesterday, recovered to within a point

There was no marked movement in any
of the other securities in the list, and
the gas stocks, which have been SO active
during the past three days, had regained
their former inactivity.

ONE PANIC REASON.
Timely Liquidation Helped Save Re-
cent Situation.

CeuC SltudC1OQ.
NEW YORK, December 21.-That the
liquidation of a large number OF out-of
town loans in the past year saved the re
cent financial panic from being worse
than what it was is the opinion held by
Thomas F. Woodlock, former editor of the
Wall Street Journal, who delivered yester.
lay afternoon at Columbia University &
lecture on THE Stock Exchange and the
Money Market"
Mr.. Woodlock spoke Of these out-of,
own loans as of no benefit to New York
bankers, and cond smned the practice o
making them as q part of the lack
$ystam and concerted action that mark
the borrowing and lending Of money or
American exchanges. He said:
Instead of country banks leaving thei'
money on deposit with the New York in
situations. allowing the latter to lend this
money for their own account, the out-of-
town banks concluded to make direct
loans themselves to get the benefit of TIN
high call money rates ruling at the eX.
change. This practice first attracted at

time a quiet investigation developed the

Being lent in this way by out-of-town in
situations subject to their call.
These loans do not figure in the weekly
bank statement, and of course, are sup

It is not generally known that year ago
the same condition existed, but to a much
greater extent. In December of last year
It was estimated that more than $4O0, 900, =

which loans the New York banks had no
control whatever.
