THE FAILURES OF APRIL.
Comment by Dun's Review on tn.
business Situation.

C~hAtncht oa Auh review on tn e
business Situation.
New York. May Pr. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review Of trade says:
Failure returns for the month OF
April make a gratifying exhibit as to
number, but the amount OF liabilities
involved was very large. Strictly com.
mereial defaults numbered 750, with
an indebtedness Of $11 ,St1967, against
S55 failures for $7,359341 in the CORE
spending month Of 1902 and 763 de-
faults involving only $5,571 ,222 in
April 1901, which was in every re-
spect a month of remarkably low NOR
tally in the commercial world
Classification of defaults last month
shows that 2i2 occurred in manufac
turing, with $4,000, 295 liabilities, com
pared with 30 year ago for $2,90S,
ST. This heavy increase In liabilities
Of insolvent concerns was chiefly due
to twelve defaults aggregating $4,721,
$50, leaving less than one-third Of the
total manufacturing loss for tie other
200 failures. Excluding the few dis
torting defaults for over 100000 in
both years, the average loss to each
failure IS almost the same as in 1901.
Trading bankruptcies were 492 in
number and s4,5sG,595 in amount
against $50 failures involving S3,947,-
455 in 1902 Other commercial failures
numbered 46, with liabilities Of $500

FOUNDRYCASE TESTIMONY
WITNESSES DENY THAT THREATS OF
VIOLENCE WEIR MADE.
1t Is Also Denied that There Was a
Riot i'm the Cornheld-DivOrce
Complaints and Other News.

Very little new testimony was introduced
by the defense yesterday in the suit for
injunction brought by the Indianapolis
Foundry Company against the three local
unions of the Iron holders Union of North
America, which is on trial before Judge
Carter. All the testimony pertained to de-
NAL of the threats of violence charged by
the witnesses for the plaintiff.
AL Workman, one of the defendant strik-
ers, testified that he heard the conversation
between Gunery, the business agent of the
unions, and Joseph York, a nonunion
molder, and that the remark attributed to
Quincy by York to the effect that York
should steal his grub" for day or two
rather than work at that shop, was not
true. Ed Sheehy and Clifford Fox also tes-
titled to hearing the conversation and that
the statement was not true. Robert Jor-
dan, policeman stationed at the foundry,
testified that he had heard no threats Of
violence made.
Other witnesses on the stand in the
afternoon testified that they were in the
crowd in the cornfield on the night Of Nov.
10, when riot is alleged to have taken place
as John Wallace, the foreman at the plant,
was conducting seven Slavs to the foundry,
and that there was no riot.
