NEW YORK, April 6. - The failure of Downs & Finch was surprise to tho shirt trade. The firm were supposed to practi- cally control the fine shirt trade of the country, having succeeded in effecting con- tracts with the leading manufacturers.

Henry Rothschild X Co.,, one of the largest shirt manufacturing concerns of the country. They were only special partners in Downs & Finch, and their own firm is not affected by the failure.
