With a rate of 30.2 per hundred
thousand Inhabitants, Ohio ranks
seventh among the states Of the un
ion in fatal automobile accidents
according to data obtained through
the courtesy Of the Ohio State Life
Insurance Company Of Columbus.
1t is exceeded in the rate Of acci-
dents by Nayada, California, Ari-
zOna, Wyoming and New Jersey
Ohio also ranks high in the mum
ber Of deaths due to accidental
falls, the rate per hundred thou
sand being 18.9. In this report
Ohio is exceeded only by New
Hampshire, Indiana and Vermont
The Buckeye state has a good rec
ord, however, in comparison with
other states, in the number of
deaths due to accidental SHOOTING
The rate per hundred thousand be-
ing Is, thirty-fOur states having a
higher rate. Thirty-six states, too,
rank ahead of Ohio in accidental
drownings, the rate in Ohio being
40 per hundred thousand compared
with 1873 in Wyoming, which heads
the list. In the United States as a
whole, deaths from automobile ac-
cidents still top the list of acci-

GAIN IN GASOLINE
'CONSUMP TON SEEN
Check on Taxes Shows More
Than Half Billion Paid
in 1881.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.


Motor car owners of the United
States consumed about 100000, 900
gallons of gasoline during the calendar
year 1881.
In making the announcement the
American Motorists Association said
these owners, for the first time, paid
more than half billion dollars in gas
oline taxes The associations tabula-
ton shows that the average motorlst
during the year paid approximately $40
in taxes on 565s gallons of fuel, which
carried him an average distance OF
about $500 miles.
Government figures on gasoline tax
consumption for the first six months
of the year provided the basis OF some
interesting calculations" said the asso-
ciation. For one thing they bespeak
striking gain in consumption which
will carry the total for the year very
close to- the $4,000 1000, ,0O0-gallon mark
if indeed, it is not actually exceeded.
with the average tax on such fuel
344 cents per gallon in the various
States, that means gasoline tax rev.
enueS will exceed the $500,000,000 mark
which was approached last year when
the average rate was only 3.35 cents
and when the total earnings of this
levy were $493 ,865,117."
Asserting that it is doubtful If more
positive evidence of the meaning Of
the motor car is available than that
represented in these figures, the asso-
citation continued:
"A gasoline consumption of 10000
100000 gallons means that the aver
age vehicle will have used SOS gallons.
At the average tax rate Of 3.44 cents
gallon each car owner will have con-
tributed about $1945 under this levy
alone"

SUN LIFE OF CANADA
REPORTS BUSINESS GAIN

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MONTREAL, January 12.-In keep
ing with encouraging news from vari-
Gus lines of business, indicating an
improvement in general conditions, is
the report that assurances in force with
the Sun Life Of Canada have passed the
three billion dollar mark In spite OF
the unprecedented economic upheaval
throughout the world, the company
wrote over five hundred millions OF
pald-for new business during the year
Just ended. The income shows large
increase over the previous year and is
understood to have been not much
under two hundred million dollars.
Insurance institutions are least af-
tected by depreSSionS, for life insurance
is essentially a long proposition
and its investments must OF necessity
be made to cover a period of years. In
Surance companies are more concerned,
therefore, with the earning power OF
their investments than their market
values From reports CLEANED in the
financial district it is understood that
the assets are now more than six hun
dred millions and that it has made new
investments during 1881 of well over
fifty million dollars. 1t is known that
during the year the Sun Life purchased
Government bonds alone to the extent
OF over tWenty-three millions OF dollars.

Grain Market
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO January 12-Grain values
underwent early downturns today, de-
spite initial firmness of the New York
Stock Market Liverpool wheat quota
tions were lower, and Argentina was
reported continuing to press wheat Of
feringS abroad
Opening unchanged to 3s off, wheat
afterWard showed setbacks all around
Corn started unchanged to shade
lower and continued to sag.
Wheat market declines deveoped In
the face of assertions that prices were
below cost of production On the other
hand, Chicago wheat futures we're at
premium over Liverpool, whereas
normally the opposite is the rule.
British trade authority reported that
although European potential demand
for wheat was substantial, financial
stringency precluded heavy purchases
until decreasing immediate supplies
made buying obligatory or increased
pressure from the Southern Hemisphere
pulled values lower.
Predictions of cold wave tonight
overspreading the Northwest and
threatening much lower temperatures
in the central part of the country
failed to stir up any wheat market
rallies Apparently, traders considered
likelihood of Winter wheat crop dam
age remote. Instead, more attention
was given to advices of beneficial
moisture over most of the Winter
wheat belt. Corn and oats paralleled
the course of the Wheat market.
Provisions were responsive to an up
ward trend of hog values.

CURB SHARESEASy
AF TER EARLY GAIN
Leaders Show Only Frac-
tionaI Changes, With
Small Turnover.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 12.-Opening
actively higher, today's Curb Exchange
session slowed around midday and
showed a disposition to ease slightly on
the reduced volume Of trading.
At midday Electric Bond g. Share
was up about a and Cities Service was
virtually unchanged. American Super
power was fairly active but unchanged,
as was Standard Oil of Indiana.
Early strength of foreign markets,
especially London, Paris and Montreal,
brought activity and firmness into the
foreign share list here. Ford Motor
Ltd; General Electric, Ltd, and Bra
lillian Traction, principal strong spots
in transatlantics in London, were also
better in this market.
The coppers benefited by the Il scent
pound increase in the price of the
metal in foreign markets. Roam Ante
lope was more active than usual, though
Newmont Mining met some offerings
around neon. Aluminium Co., Ltd,
Canadian subsidiary of Aluminium Co.
of America, will get a S500000 order
from the Soviet government if Premier
Bennett sanctions the payment of
$4,000 for Russian coal and the bal
snce in preferred credits, according to
Canadian advices. This news, however,
was without immediate market effect
on either the American or the Canadian
companys shares.
Most of the oils were irregular today
as estimates for last week indicated a
further gain in crude output. Pacific
Western Oil, however, advanced on its
statement showing cash earnings of
1900, 900 for 1881 before reserves.
The company retired about 81, 800 600
of 61a per cent debentures at saving
Of 100000 principal and more than
$65, 900 in interest during 1881.
Strength of foreign markets and
budget of favorable domestic news
caused stocks to open higher.
Electric Bond & Share at l1Ss for a
block of ZOO shares opened unchanged
but in succeeding trades rose fraction
ally. Cities Service at 6A lost Is, bVt
thereafter reversed its trend. Ford Mo-
tor Ltd, at and Brazilian Traction at
10 were both up slightly.
American Gas & Electric at 37A was
up H. A block of 1,100 shares of
American SuperpoWer opened at AS
up Is Niagara Hudson Power at 634
and Pacific Western Oil at 5l2 we're
higher Pennroad, after opening un-
changed at 27s quickly reached 8. Swift
g. Co., Segal Lock and other miscel-
laneouS domestic issues showed gains
ranging from fraction to more than
point

SH0RT-TIME PERSONAL
LOANS SHOW INCREASE

Short-time personal loans, popularly
known as family financing" amounted
to 81, Jas, 100000 in 1881, on which loan
charges of S74S 100000 were collected
by the various agencies engaged in the
field, according to an estimate by Frank
lin w. Ryan, PHI D., formerly assistant
chief of the Finance Division of the
United States Department Of Commerce
and vice president and economist of the
Franklin Plan Corporation. DR.. Ryan
also estimates that the total volume of
funds employed in making these loans,
most of which are for period of few
months, was $2,626, 100000.
The annual volume of these loans for
1881 represents an increase of $780,
000,000 over 1880, with the addition of
only $4,000, 900 in the capital employed
One of the striking changes of the 1881
figures from the 1880 rests in the de-
cline in both the annual volume of
total outstanding co-maker loans by in
dustrial banks. This is partly accounted
for, in the opinion of DR.. Ryan, by the
rapid increase in personal loan depart
ments Of commercial banks from $780,
100000 to $180,0O0,000 and by the fact
that some of the industrial banks were
operated at loss during the last two
wears,
