BABY MARIE OSBORNE
 ONE NIGHT ONLY AT a~' EMPRESS THEATER

1 Baby Marie Osborne, the winsome Pathe star, who will be seen In "The Old Maids Baby" at the Empress, to- night only, in her recent journey from New York to California, was greeted | by more governors and kissed by more mayors than any other baby in the land. In fact there never was such demonstration over any baby in history. Governor Goodrich of h. diana, after he had knelt so that Marie might properly fix a flower in his button-hole, gave her a hearty hug and resounding kiss, saying:
 You can well believe little Marie, l will always remember this, and es- pecially when see you in pictures. know you are doing a big work in en- tertaining the little folks with clean film offerings"

GERMANY SEEKING
BUSINESS IN SPAIN

German traders are making a
strong bid for larger business in
Spanish markets, and are even under
selling the French on a number Of
principal products. the Department of
Commence was advised today.
Low prices now quoted by German
representatives in Madrid and other
large consuming centers Of Spain
40 not represent a sacrifice by Ger
man merchants. and with the low
status of the mark, still lower prices
are possible in competition with other
foreign competitors, according to
Commercial Attache Cunningham at
Madrid.
Americans are losing the strong
position they previously held on shoe s
ard other leather goods in the Span
ish markets. This is due in part to
the high price of the American dol
lar. The Germans, 1t was said, are
selling shoes and leather goods about
10 per cent cheaper than American
| made goods.
Referring to the Germans efforts
to capture the shoe market in Spain.
Cunningham said:
They have taken into considera-
ton the prices of their competitors,
and while systematically under-bid-
| ding them at the present time, they
ere not as low as value of the mark
will permit them to do. l believe
that we shall f1nd that the Germans
will show themselves able in the
future to sell at a profit, while cut
ting present prices very consider
ably"
The Spanish markets are now over
stocked with cotton, 1t was said. and
surplus Of that staple is on hand in
sufficient quantities to last for six
months Under normal conditions
Spain would consume 200, 900 more
bales of cotton at this season of the
year.

ADVANCE INFORMATION.

Certain so-called analysts scoff al
talk OF probable action on dividends
or other matters a month or SO before
directors meet They fail to remem-
Der that the market usually discounts
things in advance.
According to their viewpoint Kelly
Springfield should have declined fur
ther on the passing OF it's cash divi-
dend, even though 1t had already suf-
fered a decline to a level that dis
counted the expected action. Selling
in Central Leather preferred appears
to be real liquidation due to fear that
the quarterly statement to be issued
this month will show deficit that
will wipe out practically all the re-
naming surplus.
In view OF the likelihood OF such a
poor showing. 1t is not surprising that
brokers should warn their customers
that the preferred dividend appears
unsafe.

Developments in the steel trade in

may be made by the United States
Steel Corporation regarding reduc-
tons in prices and wages some time
this month.
The Iron Age states that while
rumors have been widespread as to
the corporations plans. apparently no
new policy has been decided as vet.
The slight change the week has
brought in the rate Of steel opera
tions has been toward cont rae ton.
and what few price changes have oc-
CURED have been downward.
While there has been some further
gains at automobile works and in a
few other lines, these are looked upon
as eddies. The main currents are
stated to be practically unchanged
pending freight and wage readjust-
ments.
Production OF pig iron in March
shows he greatest shrinkage in all
the months of the decline. Output
today is the smallest on record in

with 1.937,257 tons In February. or

sIMMs PETROLEUM POSITION.

Some good buying has developed
in Simms Petroleum. The company is
in an exceptionally strong cash posi-

to be steadily increasing
more pronounced rumors are heard
of the merger of Simms with White
and Gilliland. These reports cropped
up some time ago, out no action was
taken. As the interests behind the
companies are affiliated, 1t is con-
sidered quite likely that some such
action will be taken bye and bye.
The latest rumor connects the
Phillips Petroleum and other smaller
producers with the proposed amalga-

do you advise concerning it? Do
you think it womans invest
