IN.AN.A.).-Doris Kenyon MRS. Mil
ton Sills) 10 back at work again after
the collapse occasioned by the sudden
death Of her husband. Her original in
tention to appear in concert only hav-
ing been shelved in favor Of a part
In upper Underworld" the cameras
will once more show her dainty beauty
and excellent craft to the world.
Meanwhile, the vast Sills estate at
Saltain Is up for sale. It is one Of the
most magnificent Of the movie homes
Over 100000 alone has gone into the
vast gardens, which have been expertly
handicapped.
The house itself is Spanish in de-
sign and most elaborate. The hangings
in the Sills' drawing room, which
might, by the way, have come from a
country house Of Queen Isabella Of
Spain, cost $4,000. The entire estate
must represent something about $780,
600. But one hears that Doris sills
one ambition In life is to get 1t of her
hands. Since her husbands death she
has lived in one of the guest houses.
She has never returned to the luxury
Of the main house.
These sudden changes in modes Of
living are characteristic of Hollywood,
where artists are like happy children
and art is capricious in the extreme.
Mrs. Charles Ray, returning to the
village this Summer, used TO drive past

Natural Spectacle on Island.
HONOLULU (speciaD Plans Of the
National Park Service are announced
to push TO completion the roadway up
Haleakala, the enormous extinct vol

This Is regarded as one Of the major
projects Of the national park improve
ments for this year. Gov. l.. NJ. Judd,
who has been visiting washington, was
assured by Horace M. Albright, director
Of the National Park Service, that when
the present bodybuilding contract is
finished funds will be available to let
another contract and carry the road into
the park reservation. Many visitors
consider Haleakala the greatest natural
spectacle In Hawaii. II Is now reached
by horseback or on foot, and, while the
trail is easily passable, an auto road
will open the summit to thousands Of
people who now do not wish TO ride
or hike UP the slope.

the occasion, and finally, setting aside
the desire for special concessions, ar
rive at real and lasting solution.
Advocate French Branch.
One Of the principal causes Of the
banking crisis In the United States is
the ease with which under existing
laws, both State and national, larger
numbers Of banks have been formed In
the past, largely as a matter of course
and with only perfunctory approval,
according to Thomas J. McCarter, pres
ident Of the Public Service Corporation
Of New Jersey.
Banks, continues Mr.. McCarter, have
grown UP like mushrooms, in many
cases without any proper Justification,
seeking TO rival well established and
carefully managed institutions. In
many instances banks have had in
adequate capital and often too much
of that locked up in expensive banking
houses.
Mr.. McCarter concludes his remarks
by advocating further extension of the
principle Of branch banking, which
should in the long run tend to the
survival of the flttest and the building
up Of strong financial institutions.
It is believed that plan will be
submitted shortly to the Hungarian
government in regard to the leasing of
the country's telephone system for q
period Of 80 years. The interested
parties are understood to include the
Kreuger-tol1 combine and the Morgan
sponsored International Telephone e.
Telegraph Corporation.
In connection with this transaction
Hungary is expected to receive from
which will In all likelihood be utilized
to pay OF some Of the pressing short
term obligations. This should helm
materially the various loans of Hun
gary and her political subdivisions
which are traded in on the American

Grain Market
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 19.-Grain
prices tended upward early today influ-
enced by Liverpool unof1cial reports
that 1900, 900 acres Of wheat in South
ern Argentina had been affected by
frost Some moisture relief for Western
Kansas and Western Nebraska acted,
however, as more or less Of check on
wheat price upturns.
Opening at 1sa5s cents gain, wheat
afterward rose further. Corn started
1sa3s up and continued to mount.
Unconfirmed rIlmors that Russia had
demanded Japan evacuate the Soviet
railroad zone in Manchuria served at
times to inspire considerable buying of
wheat. Bullish effects Of the rumors
were heightened by comment from
Washington ascribed to ofncial sources
that the Manchurian situation should
not be discussed at this time. Inde-
pendent strength shown by the corn
market did much also to stiffen quota
tions on all grains.
An outstanding feature was an
nouncement that corn was being pur-
chased in Chicago to be conveyed to
Iowa, the leading corn-producing State.
Such q parallel to the proverbial para
dox Of shipping Goals to Newcastle at
tracted widespread attention. The rea-
son given was that adequate supplies
Of corn could not be readily bought in
Iowa owing partly to organized move
partly as a result Of unusual demand
for corn in drought districts North and
West. Oats sympathized with corn
strength.
Provisions tended upward with hog

SOVIET MANGANESE
.EMBARGO| SOUGHT
American Producers Expect
ed to Renew Efforts for
Ban on Imports.
BY LOUIS e. VAN NORMAN.

American manganese producers will
renew their efforts in the coming ses-
sion of Congress to obtain an embargo
on imports of manganese from Soviet
Russia. This became known definitely
when 1t was announced that the pro-
gram of the American Manganese Pro.
ducers' Association will be supported by
Senator Oddie of Nevada, chairman Of
the Senate Committee on Mines and
Mining, and by Representative William
son Of South Dakota.
At the same time reports from Ameri-
can diplomatic and consular points in
Eastern Europe indicate that the Rus
sian Soviet authorities plan a heavy
ore during the present mining season.
Melons Ruling.
Just before the adjournment Of the
last Congress in March, Secretary Mel
lon ruled, without mentioning the ques-
ton Of law, that there had been no
dumping" of Russian manganese ore
in the United States and that, there.
fore, no embargo against this commod-
ity was justified. American manganese
Producers had commended that ship
ments of Russian ore were being sold In
this country at unfair prices. On the,
other hand, opposition to an embargo
had come from the American steel in
dustry which desires the continuation
OF imports OF manganese from Soviet
Russia, the chief source OF the worlds
supply of this essential mineral raw
material
The American manganese industry,
according to the American Manganese
Producers Association, has been pros
trate" since the dumping of Soviet
ores began. Many plants have been
shut down, causing widespread unem-
ployment. Representative Williamson
declares, "It Is not to be expected that
the industry will resume operation until
the dumping Of Soviet ores Is stopped"
The protection to American man
ganese in the present tariff, so the
producers claim, has been overcome by
Soviet dumping" In their opinion
nothing short Of an embargo on Soviet
manganese will enable the industry here
to resume operations.
u. s. Imports.
More than 80 per cent Of the output
Of high-grade manganese ore Is con-
Sumed in the manufacture OF steel, ana
the United States, the largest producer
Of steel, ranks second as an importer
of manganese ore. AS yet there has
commercial scale of the American man
ganese ore deposits, which occur chiefly
In Montana and New Mexico. Accord
ing to the Department Of Commerce
there are considerable potential man
ganese reserves in this country, al
though at present American production
Is only from az to rs per cent Of the
world output.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, November 19.-Most
brokerage house comment today agreed
that some constructive news was needed
to change the stock markets trend, al
though some short covering might take
place toward the week end.
Thomson a. McKinnon-It is possible
the railroad conference or the financial
situation abroad may furnish develop
rnents that will check the current liqui-
dalton Of securities and reverse the
downward trend.
Hornblower g. Weeks-The inability
Of the market yesterday to further the
gains scored the day previous proved
conclusively that the line OF least re-
sistance for the time being Ia still on
the downside, and that the next rally
period will have to await some develop
ment of favorable nature to provide
the necessary sttmulant for a resump-
ton OF constructive activities.
Jackson Bros, Boesel & Co.-If con-
structive developments are lacking we
would look for o drift in the rail group
TO still lower levels and definite test
ing by the industrials of the secondary
resistance level.
Redmond O. Co.-The extent of the
current reaction probably will depend
upon the character and Interpretation
OF the news, with some consideration
also given to the size of the short inter-
est as disclosed, in part, by the Dor
rowing demand for stocks. Week end
snort covering may be factor, but sin
the absence OF any outstanding con-
structive news, we would be inclined to
regard any rallies at this time as tech
nical.
E. F. Hutton & Cove would be in
clined to pay less attention to the de-
cline OF the averages through so-called
support points" than to the oversold
position OF the market, wherein lies the
basis OF worthwhile technical rally.
Paine Weber & Co.-Industrials as
group are now at what might be
called very critical point. Any fur
tner seldom today would indicate a
sharp downward thrust and an early
testing OF bear market bottom. Con-
versely, II rally is to grow out of the
recent decline, support should be EVIL
Dent Immediately. Owing to continued
poor action OF rails, probabilities are
that mdustrials will not hold,
John Muir & Co.-The railroad sit
uation is discouraging in that the wage
reductions Qf it materializes at an
early date) Is coming after so much
delay that the benefits to be derived
from 1t will be Of questionable value
from nearby point of view. The dim
Cudty tne railroads have encountered in
initiating economies has had its eject
also on the market for rail bonds and.
OF course, weakness IN markets for I'M
DERIVING securities naturally have their
repercuss1ons in the stock market.
Cusick Kent q Cove think that a
Iurtner recession Is logical in view of
the poor tape action of the list vester-
DAY, particularly at the close. General
sentiment Is again becoming discour-
aged and with bearish news OUTWEIGH
ing favorable developments, we do not
think that the present decline has VET
run its course. ' 'es

CHEAPER FOREIGN CURRENCIES
AFFECT u. S. EXPORT VALUES
Suspensions of Gold Standard Result in
Smaller Payments From Countries Do
ing Business With Own Money.

Reports Of business revivals in Eu-
rope. South America and the Far East
are believed by the Commerce Depart
ment to be the basis for numerous in
quiries now being received by its Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce from American exporters con-
corning trade procedures in countries
where the gold standard Of payments
has been suspended.
The department said today that as a
result of the fall in the dollar value
of currencies Of countries which have
abandoned gold payments, American
exporters holding contracts payable in
these currencies will receive fewer dol
lars than before.
Advice to Exporters.
If the proceeds of such payments
should be temporarily carried on de-
post or invested in the importers
country, according to officials, the &C
tual dollar payment finally received
would depend upon the future course Of
that country's exchange, except In
Canada, where there is no foreign ex-
change restriction.
with regard to future contracts, /"
the department said, the American
exporter who wishes to guard against
foreign exchange loss has the alterna-
tive Of either raising the price of the
goods sold in terms of the importers
currency or of requiring payments in
dollars, thus placing upon the i'm
porter the burden Of exchange depre-
ciation."
The department warned, however,
that in this step the exporter must be
guided by his competitive position,
which may be lost to him II he should
demand that the importer bear the loss
arising from depreciation. This, ON
Gals explained, would be o burden
which would be relatively heavy during
the period of internal price adjustment
In the importers country.
Exporters were advised that in the

BANKERS TO STUDY
TWO VITAL ISSUES
Investment of Trust Funds and
Legal Activities Placed on
Conference Program.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, November l9.-The
thirteenth annual Midwinter Trust
Conference Of the Trust Division, Amer
lean Bankers Association, will be held
February ~16, II and 10, 1892, at the
Hotel Commodore. New York City, II
is announced by Thomas c. Hennings,
president Of the division. The two
major problems of trust companies and
banks with trust departments that will
be given particular attention by the
conference, Mr.. Hennings says in his
announcement, have to do with the
investment of trust funds and the
sphere Of legal activities in the fiduciary
field.
II feel" he says, chat there are
two great problems for consideration
during the coming year which must be
met. One Is that Of the investment OF
trust funds. Trust institutions will find
ample work during the next year or two
In handling trust funds which have
been placed in their care. Periodic re-
views of securities held in trust accounts
will be frequent and searching. The
manner Of investment and review Is q
subject which can be considered by the
conference with profit.
Another problem Is an old one, aris-
ing from the differences Of opinion be-
tween two sets Of lawyers, on one hand
the stan lawyers representing trust
yers who do not represent trust COM
panies, as to the limitation Of the
proper sphere Of legal activities in the
flduciary field"

case Of contracts payable in dollars
and entered into prior to the suspen-
sion of gold payments, they would gain
an advantage except in so far as they
may be faced with possible cancella-
ton or such action by the importer
as may require some form Of arbitra-
ton or legal settlement, with conse-
quent delay in payment, possible loss
of good will or forced concessions.
Payments in Dollars.
The American importer, meeting q
contract recently removed from the gold
standard, is held by the department TO
have gained an advantage in that
fewer dollars than before are required
to make payments.
The department further held that
this advantage may. Of course. con-
tinue fo.a short time after the full
to gold payment suspensions.
IF the American importer has been
accustomed to make payments in dol
lars" the department advised, "his adj
vantage would be limited to such pos
Sible concessions in price as might be
granted by him by the foreign ex-
porter whose position happened to be
strengthened by the depreciation of his
countrys currency"
The department said 1t Is impos-
sible to suggest any general rules that
would apply IN the case of all export
ers and importers. This was said to
be particularly true In the case OF those
engaged in business In countries ap-
plying some form of gold-export re-
striction or Of foreign exchange control
Whether or not remittance can be
made from such country to the
United States, 1t was explained, will
depend upon number of circum-
stances, the most important one of
which Is probably the nature of the
transaction, whether commercial OF
otherwise, and whether for the pur-
chase Of luxurieS or for necessities.
