AMERICANS AT LON
 DON HORSE SHOW

London, June 7.-The Londoners say they fear nothing at the Horse Show from the Americans except the heavy harness and saddle classes, al though Vanderbilt's four-in-hands are regarded as dangerous. An interess- ing feature will be the jumping com petitions. in which Continental caval- ry officers in uniform will take part. The Italians expect to take the high est honors in this line of exhibition, and have sent some of their champion jumpers. Vanderbilt has entered horses for no fewer than 8 classes. but Walter Winans, who owns half a million dollars worth of hrsef1esh at Durrenden Park, Kent, is power ful rival to Vanderbilt.

MANY RETAIL
 FAILURES

New York, June 7.-There are many failures reported in the retail gar ment trade for Women's wear as consequence Of the utter failure of spring trade. The manufacturers who have sold large quantities Of goods to retailers are reporting slow collec- tions on accounts, and there are gen eraI unsatisfactory conditions existing throughout the cutting trade. Sepa- rate skirts and complete costume n medium weight clothes were ordered freely during the initial order period for the spring season, as the retailers looked forward to normal conditions prevailing. They have received their stocks, and have had them on exhibi- ton for upward of twelve weeks, as many of them showed their first styles during the opening week os March. At no time has there been an even moderate movement in these goods ;n any section of the country, except the extreme West. It is only on the high grade cloaks and suits that a normal call on orders is being made. The department stores handling costumes and wraps of the better quality have succeeded in selling their first pur chases, and are in the market taking fresh supplies from the garment trade
