LOANS ON INSURANCE
SHOWING DECREASE
Company Executive Sees Sign Of
Improved Conditions in Reduc-
ton Of Borrowings.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, September 20.-One OF
the signs Of Improvement in general
business is that fewer policyholders Of
the New York Life Insurance Co. are
seeking loans on their policies, it was
said yesterday by Thomas A. Buckner.
president Of the company.
There has been a decrease In the
number of applications for policy loans
and substantial decrease in the aggre-
gate amounts Of loans applied for, he
reported. Measured by the first six
months Of 1882, the cash outgo for pol
icy loans made by the company de-
creased during July and August 81 per
cent: measured by the peak month DUR
ing the first half of the year the cash
loans made during July and August
SHOW reduction Of 80 per cent in VOL
ume. Buckner also said there had
been a "substantial increase in the
number of policy loans repaid in whole
or in part.
The companys liquid cash position
Is strong-in fact stronger than ever
said Buckner. Assets have been
steadily increased and the cash income
has been sufficient at all times to meet
all obligations, to make new invest
ments and to have large bank balances
on hand. During the first seven months
Of 1892 the companys new paid for
business has averaged just under So
0eo000 for each working day
The company has not borrowed from
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton nor have We sold any securities for
The purpose Of raising funds"

CURB PRICES FIRM
AFTER EARLY LOSS
Utilities and Oils Featured
on Upturn-SpeciaIties
Advance.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 2o.-Prices
on the Curb Exchange firmed at mid
day today following the lower opening
and irregularity that prevailed during
the forenoon.
Electric Bond d Share rose about q
point. Cities Service recovered after
dipping in initial dealings. Standard
Oil Of Indiana pointed higher and 80
did International Petroleum and Creole
Petroleum. Newmcnt Mining frmed.
In the active speciafities, Aluminium Co.
of America common moved upward
quickly.
Early strength in some Of the leading
commodities, scattered reports telling Of
increased retail trade gains this month
and further expansion OF bank credit
stimulated activity at the noon hour.
The expectation that the Eastern rail-
roads would sign the four-party con-
solidation plan on Friday was also gen.
orally construed builishly marketwise.
IndiaEa Pipe Line ordered an extra
dividend Of cents. but the stock
ocened lever. Southland Royalty paid
the usual quarterly. Cities Service
softered early on the Kansas court
proceedings against some Of its subsid-
iaries in that State. Richman Brothers
and American Maize Products Paid
their usual disbursements.
Among the motors, StutZ. with a de-
cline of more than points. was the
widest mover A similar drop In A. o.
Smith Corporation was the largest
swing in the specialties. Talk of a
speculative movement in wheat brought
buying into Deere g. Co. Cord Cor
poration, which takes its market cues
from the aviation group as often as
from the motors, today turned over
quickly on the rumor. upon which no
ofiicial would comment. that interests
close to the company planned to 60
into aviation in big way. and there
fore were continuing purchases Of Avia-
ton Corporation and might bring
Douglas Aircraft into the reported COM
bine.
Alloy Steel shares ignored the report
Of the Engineering Foundation, which
stressed the fact that future of the
steel industry lies in that field. Lake
Shore mines responded fractionally to
the annual earning statement showing
net profit of $7797 oil against S4.505,-
600 in the preceding fiscal year.

By the Associated Press.
No outstanding changes were evident
in the statement Of condition Of re-
PORTING member banks during the period
ended September H.
There was a slight tendency on the
part OF bank credit to enter the securi-
ties market, the statement showing an
increase Of $4,000, ,00e in loans en- Sc
curities, which was eclpsed, however,
by a falling OF of $4,000. 900 in all
other loans. Confidence of the banks in
industries continued during the period,
with investments In securities other
than United States Governments in
creasing S14, 900 600
The banks further strengthened their
reserves with regional members, show
ing an increase of $l07, ,000, 900 during
the week, while cash In vault gained
$l1 100000. Both these factors indicate
ample funds awaiting attractive invest
ment opportunities.

states and national government vie
with each other to invent new ways
to get more taxes. Always more, never
less. They can always add but the
process Of subtraction is beyond them.
In the present national political cam
paign We hear of great governmental
economy but that is talk, pure and
simple, but the new billion and half
dollar tax levy is something that we
will probably be able to feel. The
cure for these evils will come from

an opportunity in these initiated
measures.
This tax plant has made wonder

corner of the whole country. There
is no cline or soil from the Atlantic
to the Pacific in which 1t does not
thrive. 1t flourishes in both city and
country. Wars water it. Political
greed cultivates 1t. Crooks fatten on
it while honest people starve. It
twines its graceful tendrils about our
cradle at birth. follows us as shadow

our coffin at death as though loath
to let us go. Its depressing effect has
ruined agriculture, closed banks.
broken down the transportation sys-
tenn of the country and the commerce
of the world stagnates behind tariff
walls.
We cannot reduce taxes unless We
reduce expenses. These proposed laws
have originated in the proper place.
1t would be folly to expect them to
begin among those who feed upon
taxes. They are just, but they are
very liberal. They will become safe

It all seems rather cockeyed, and
it was. Apparently the awful truth
suddenly dawned on the white house,
the treasury and the leaders of con-
gress they weren't kidding anyone.
You have to sympathize with o.
den Mills. Treasury estimates Of re-
ceipts have often gone far wide of
the mark. The February estimates
we're brought in and the treasury then
found itself wrong by about half q
billion in its November estimates.
Everyone, it appears, has been bet
ting consistently on an upturn in
Business. But the general reticence
to face facts until the pell-mell rush
to do so at the last critical moment
seems rather absurd or pretty ter
rible or something.
