OIL PROSPECTS
SEEN GOOD

j. Largely because of the con.
siderably higher average level of
crude oil and gasoline prices, earn
ings of the petroleum industry aS
a whole for the full current year
will record marked improvement,
as compared with the large deficits
generally experienced in 1881, says
the Standard Statistics Company,
of New York, in a current survey
which continues in part:
"FOr the first nine months Of
the year, in fact, petroleum was
the only major industrial cIaSSi-
ficatiOn to record a higher level
of income than in the like 1881
period. The % companies which
reported changed q last years
deficit of $50, ,7S5, 900 to a profit
of $16,654,OO0.
"The encouraging gains re-
ported in the second quarter
were not fully maintained in
the JuIy-September period, and
some further decline is being
experienced in the current quar-
ter. The petroleum industry
should enter 1888 in position to
record a gradual extension of
the improvement brought about
this year, despite the probability
of a temporary reduction in
both crude oil and gasoline
prices"

SAFETY AWARD
RMSLISTED

More than $50 cities and States
eligible for the Sinclair $4,000
national safety award were noti-
fled today of the terms Of the
award and character of accident
reports required monthly.
The award will be apportioned
to the police pension or welfare
funds of the two cities and the
State having the best safety rec
ords over a period of one year.
The purpose is to stimulate pub
lie interest in the reduction Of
traffic accidents.
Participating cities and States
will submit three basic totals,
na:ely, number of motor vehicle
accidents, number of fatalities,
and num6er of injuries. These
figures and other factors such as
population, motor vehicle regis
tration, and comparative hazard
are the bases upon which the
standing will be judged.
National safety and casualty
insurance experts have helped to
devise the system of ratings, and
the National Bureau Of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters will CO
operate in determining those en-
titled to the awards. These will
be made through the Sinclair Re

placed aboard the S. S. Europa
this morning for shipment to

The use of a German liner in

GERMAN BONDS
CLIMB TO NEW
1882 TOPS
BY MONROE ROBERTS

NEW YORK. Dec. II UN.S0
Renewed strength in German gov
ernment obligations and an i'm
proved tone in U. s. Government
and domestic corporation issues
were among the high lights of to-
days bond market session.
New Highs for German
The continued advance in Ger
man loans resulted in new 1892
tops for the rs which was UP at
76, and the 51as which moved UP
p to S4% on heavy buying.
United Kingdom 5hs edged up
" to 1O53s. but other major
European bonds continued back
ward, with the Belgium Is Of SO
down 11a points at 100, French
71as off 1e at 124, and French Is
off "a at 117A.
In the United States Govern
ment list, Treasury IS stood out
with a recovery from its first
hour low at 96.12 to 96.l9 for a
net gain Of 5-32. Treasury IS
rose 3-32 TO 1V5.l3, treasury As
was up 7-32 at lO95 Treasury
32sS Of Al was up 1882 at 10l.lS,
and Treasury 334s edged up 1872
to 103.l3.
Speculative industrial bonds
showed strength, with United
Drug SIS rallying more than 2
points to 54s.
Rails Irregular
Rail bonds showed an irregular
tone, on disclosure that carload
ings for the week showed a loss
of 26,245 cars, although this was
in line with seasonal expecta-
tions. Baltimore and Ohio Ans
of '33 dipped u point to So, and
the 41as Of 80 were % lower at
27h. New York Central AVS
firmed UP 3s to Al.
Utility liens were somewhat
mixed in tone, with American
Telephone IS Of IS off II at
1O4A.

UNION CENTRAL
SALES SB00M

The Union Central Life Insur-
al1ce Company reports a tota. of
$12,713,244 in paid-for new busi.
ness for November, an increase
Of 81 per cent over the same
month in 1881 and the largest
total of completed sales in any
month since April, 1881. The
record also exceeds the 1880 sales
by a substantial amount.
w. Howard Cox, president,
attributes the increased sales to
his company's new method of
'merchandiSed selling" geared to
meet conditions growing out of
the depression.
The Charles B. Knight agency
in New York led all Union Cen
tral agencies in November sales
with $2.437, ,920. its largest month
since February and an increase
Of $107,92O over November, 1881.

Dutch Are Worried
Bu Rubber Tapping

Latest statistics on the rate Of
tapping on rubber estates in the
Dutch East Indies have greatly
disappointed Dutch trade circles,
according to adviceS from AmSter-
dam to the Rubber Exchange Of
New York. No fewer than. 40 eS-
tates renewed tapping recently,
although the price for rubber is
practically unaltered.
The increased rubber output by
estates completely outweighs the
reduction in native exports, it is
held, and the idea Of enforced re-
strictionS, therefore, is again re-
ceiving serious attention by Dutch
planters.
