holding at nominal position. There is
very little doing in North Pacific
Coast terminals. Some recent in
quiries have been coming to hand
from Japan, indicating that there will
be further oriental business to be
filled before the close of the season
but. so far as ascertainable, no sales
have been consummated for that des
tination recently. There will still be
some shipments to Europe to go for

on export account are not of repre-
sentative dimensions. California il

Money continued to flow in New
York, and with the lowering of the
Bank of England rates this week the
outlook is that the banks for the time
being face position where the sup
ply of funds will outrun the demand.
Dun's review says:
While the principal industries and
trade are still experiencing some
abatement of activity as a result of
the recent floods in the west and the
conservatism produced by the pending
tariff readjustment there is apparent
ly no fundamental or permanent
change in the situation. The reduction
in the Bank of England rate of dis
count to Az per cent, the financial
improvement in Germany and the east
er tendency of money in our own
markets are among the most favorable
developments of the week.
These factors account for the feel
ing of confidence which generally pre-
walls in mercantile circles in spite of
the reduction in current consumptive
demands. This reduction reveals itself
in the statistics of bank exchanges,
the volume of which this week de-
creased 81 per cent from last year,
though the total was 1928 per cent
higher than in 1911. Railroad gross
earnings declined 3.3 per cent in the
first week of April, due mainly to the
reduced traffic on the Southern and
other roads affected by the floods.
The steel trade has not yet fully re-
covered from the effects of the flood
disaster and the declining price tend
ency in pig iron is more pronounced.
Copper is firmer. In the dry goods
trade purchases for current needs are
large, but there is little anticipation
of future requirements.
Foreign commerce maintains not SO
large proportions and at the port OF
New York in the latest week aggre
gates $40,0sS, 227, against $39, ,445 in
1912, and $2s, 10000 in 1911.
Failures this week in the United
States as reported by r. G. Dun & Co
are 295, against 319 last year.
Failures in Canada number 81.
Bradstreet's says: Better weather
excellent wheat crop reports, renewed
activity by farmers, resumption Of
operations in the flooded districts o.
the Central West and more reassur
ing outlook in the lower Mississippi
valley are the leading favorable feat
ures of the week. Over against thi.
must be set the increased prominence
of tariff discussion, particularly as re
CARDS the textile industries in the east
ern states, and the continuance of

GIRLS ARE ADVISED
AS TO THEIR DIET
Avoid Candy and Wear Simple
Clothes, Is Suggestion of
Experienced Woman.

Advice to little girls was given at the
Grover Cleveland School recreatio
center yesterday in the first of a series
Of talks by Miss Isabel L. Strong, super.
intendent of the Visiting Nurse Society
Miss Strong was emphatic in telling
the small girls present that they must
, not eat candy more than once a week
And cake Is just as bad for your
teeth and your small stomachs," added
Miss Strong.
Don't beg your parents for pennies
to buy candy oftener than once a week.
The responsibility for not eating candy
oftener than once each seven days must
be yours, not theirs. 1t is not fair to
put II on them.
Tea and coffee are not good for
little girls. Once a week Is often enough.
d. not think because you see grow-ups
drinking tea and coffee that 1t is all
right for you to drink them too. What
they can stand may not agree with you.
Miss Strong told the children that ii
is important to bathe once every day in
summer, and to bathe at home and not
depend exclusively on the shower baths
recently installed in the recreation CEN
ter. One or two hot baths besides the
daily cold ones are important too, she
said. Miss Strong told the children to
wear loose, simple clothing and avoid
corsets while young.
Simple clothing is being worn more
and more nowadays" said Miss Strong.
DO not beg your mammas for frilly
ruffles on your petticoats," was the
final Injunction with respect to clothes.
Miss Strong gave the children PAM
phlets telling what foods are nutritious.
