New LjquidGtions in Secur1-
ties Indicates Inadequacy
of Private Initiative.
Federal Task Seen.
BY DIR. MAX WINKLER.
Special Dispatch to The Star,

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, January 5-LiquidatOn
which developed anew in the securities
market must be attributed to the failure
of a nun Der of important financial in
situations, announced at the beginning
of the new year. 1t is becoming in
creaSingly evident that private initia-
tive is not sufficient TO cope with the
existing banking problem.
The National Credit Corporation
bears ample testimony to the correct
ness of this view. 1t appears that the
Government will be obliged to take the
situation in hand if it is in earnest
about safeguarding the interests Of
millions of depositors.
While many may frown upon Govern
ment guarantees of deposits, the sug-
geStion is herewith advanced that the
Government at once should declare
publicly that it will be prepared to aid
financial institutions which may become
embarrassed through extension of loans
on the granting of credits, pending sat
isfactOry adjustment of the affairs OF
the banks in question.
The proposed reconstruction finance
corporation is expected to accomplish
this. Unfortunately, the patient IS in
such precariouS condition that he can
not possibly wait much longer.
Reflection of Dividends.
The securities markets in January
Will in all probability reflect whatever
dividend action might be taken b. a
number of corporations scheduled tc
meet this month.
Railroads which are to meet in thc
near future include, besides Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe, the Delaware &
Hudson, Pennsylvania and Norfolk &

American Tobacco and Liggett &,
Meyers doubtless will declare regular
dividends Al least. An extra disburse-
ment especially by the former, would
not come as a total surprise.

ton. There is, Of course, no doubt as
to the continuance of the regular rate
On the basis Of earnings, an additional

WILBUR QUESTIONED
ON OIL TARIFF STAND
Direct Answer in Simple Kansas
Language Asked by State
Official.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOPEKA. January 5.-A request for
direct answer "in simple Kansas
language" as to whether the admins
tration favors a tariff on oil was asked
of Secretary of the Interior Wilbur
yesterday by Thurman Hill, member
Of the Kansas Public Service Com
mission.
Declaring the oil industry would
await the answer with interest, Hill
in telegram to Wilbur asked: DO
you and the administration favor a
substantial tariff as a relief measure
for $4,000 900 people directly affected
in nine oil producing States?
This can be answered in simple
Kansas language, yes or no."
Wilbur previously has informed Hill,
by quotations from his annual report,
that he favors a permanent working
arrangement for the oil industry to in
clude an adequate conservation agency
in each State, uniform conservation
laws and an interstate advisory board
to fix periodic quotas for production by
the various States.

The greatest gain is expected in the

IN many instances, the gap between
the manufacturers price and the price

ployment gains be recorded and broader

THE last remaining obstacle to the

levels, the real estate situation, is now
by way of being removed.
Leases are being taken at rentals
which reflect the fall in commodity
prices and the new level at which

Meat prices have fallen to such an
extent in recent months throughout
Great Britain that they are now prac-

large 1mportationS of frozen meats

SILVER PRODUCTION
DROPS TO 1893 LEVEL

BY the Associated PIeSS.
Production of silver during 1881 is
said by reliable estimates to have been
down to a point approXimating the 1893
level of production. The years output
is expected to be at least rs per ce"t
less than in 1890 Average cost Of pro-
duction during the year was estimated
to be about 40 cents an ounce, or ABOUT
8 cents more than the curr mt world
price level.
AS silver is largely a by-product Of
copper mining, it has been p"ecIcted
that production on the anne iCah con-
tinent in 1892 will be smaller than last
year, due to m agreement to urtail
copper production. African copps~ lines
are expected to increase their output
during the present year. but very little
silver is mined as a by-prod ct Il

than its just share Of taxes, and that
it already contributes about one-eighth
of the Federal revenue.
Factors Concerning Dividends.
Dividend action on Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe, scheduled to be taken to-
day, will depend largely upon the cash
position of the road and other pertinent
factors, including the budget, according
to w B. Storey, president. At the be-
ginning of last year the company held
Government securities and cash aggre-
eating close to $53,000,000. Beyond
stating that the present cash position
is lower than year ago, Mr.. Storey
declined to give any indication as to
the exact amount. AS to earnings Tor
the past year, estimates of about ST a
share would appear conservative. Main
tenance Of the present $40 rate is very
doubtful. A reduction to ST, or even
lower, is generally looked for.
There are as yet no indications of
any marked stability for 1882 in the
loan sold in this market on behalf Of
the Department of the Seine 10 years
ago at 90l2.
The original cost of the issue was
S22, 625,000, or S905 per $1,000 bond.

 e3e Navy has decided to launch it's second replacement plan. based on the London Naval Pact, early next year instead of waiting until 1884, the News Agency Nippon Dempo reports.
 The Naval Department has sub
 nsitted it's budget to the Depart nlent of Finance calling for an ex- penditlire of 48,85O GOO yen next year eahout $22 ,OO0O0o). The four year program provides an expendi- ture of $50, 900 ,OO0 yen.
