COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. April 3.-The cotton mar

points in response to better cables than
due, reassuring reports as to the financial

unsettled weather in the belt. Prices

the advance TO cause some irregularity.

FAILURES FOR QUARTER
LESS THAN LAST YEAR
Few Cases of Unusual Size, However
Bring Losses Above
Average.

The number of commercial failures in
the United States during the first
quarter of 1913, as reported to r. G.
Dun & Co. was 4,458. with defaulted
Indebtedness of $76,S32,277. against
4S2S suspensions in the same three
months last year, when the amount in
volved was $63,012323. 1t will be OBJ
served that in number of business
suspensions there was a large reduce
ton from the previous year, whereas
there was an increase of almost $14-
100000, or practically % per cent, in
the total liabilities. The expansion
in the latter respect, however. was due
chiefly to few failures of unusual
size. and. excluding these from the
record, the exhibit for the quarter is
by no means bad. although the losses
were above the average for the period
in question.
All Classifcations Included.
The decrease in the number of de-
faults as compared with last year ex-
tended to each business classification
manufacturing. trading and other COM
mercial. Thus, there were 1862 manu-
featuring insolvencies, against 1882 In
the preceding year. but. owing to a
single suspension of an iron and steel
concern for about $7.6OO.0O0. the sum
of money involved increased to $780,
S34.667, against $25.706.157 in 1912.
In trading occupations there was a
large contraction in number of fail
ures-3,233 comparing with 3,559-but
several reverses of exceptional size
combined to swell the liabilities much
above normal, total of $36,590 100
contrasting with $2S,377.94O a year
ago. The mortality among agents.
brokers and firms of a similar nature
reflected some improvement from a
numerical standpoint-173 defaults
against 1877 in 1912-while the indebt-
edness did not show a particularly
marked increase. an aggregate of So
607.5O1 comparing with $8,928,226 in
the previous year.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. April 3.-Buying on the part
of shorts today gave a strong tone to
wheat after a weak opening. Some of
yesterdays buyers were among the large
sellers. The weakness at the start was
due to lower Liverpool cables and re-
iteration of favorable crop and weather
news from the domestic field. First
prices were n to u lower. May began at
9OA to 9OAa0O7s, a loss of lsaA to u, but
soon advanced to SOS
Unsettled weather in the corn belt
helped to lift prices somewhat. Country
offerings we're moderate. Cash demand
showed some Improvement May opened
unchanged to Is lower, at 54s to 54A,
and firmed up to 54ss.
Offerings in the pit were absorbed
readily. May oats, which opened un-
changed to u lower, at Ban to 34zi. went
to 347s.
A moderate selling pressure caused a
decline in provisions prices being a shade
to 1Oc lower at the start, with May fig
ures as follows: Pork, 1880; lard, ILL
to HEY, and ribs, 113O to 11.35.
