WEEKLY DRY GOODS
By Associated Press

New York, April 30.-The curtail ment of cotton mill production and the growing tendency to buy the best known standard staple fabrics of high quality are the tstanding features affecting the merchandising of goods at present.
 Although cotton blanket lines for fall 1921, were opened this week, four months later than usual buyers are finding that only a third of the normal output will be available before Sep tember or October, so that a price re- duction of 40 per cent below last years values will be easily sustained
 The volume of business doing on standard prints. percales, ginghams, sheets and pillow cases, etc, is very large and some of the oldest and larg- ct corporations are busy, while others are idle.
 Slow business building, trans portation and steel lines is still a very important factor n delaying new or ders for duck, haevy sheetings and auto supply materials. The manufac- turing trades using cotton goods are dull, while the jobbing and retail trades are using q larger yarda,ye of many cloths than they were last year. The irregularity of the trade is re- flected in curtailed production of cotton yarns. Yet it is noted that values this week have been generally steadier at home. while there have been further indications of an in creasing interest in the cotton goods for export. There has also been definite improvement in the volume of mill business on hosiery and under- wear
 Prices in first hands are as follows: Print cloths, 2S-inch, 64x64s 4%c; | e4x6os 4Ac; SSh inch 64x6fs 7Ac; brown sheetiJ.gs, southern standards SAC; tickings. S-ounce. 17c: denims 2'2os, indigo 17c; staple ginghams 12c; dress ginghams 15@17c; prints 11c

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York. April 3O-Conspicuous fea- lures of an unusually broad and active week in the securities market comprised the quarterly report of the United States Steel corporation reduction of the Penn sylvania railroad dividend, Northern Pa cific-Great Northern underwriting and the lower discount rate of the Bank of Eng land.
 The diverse developments found fre- quent expression in the very cratic movement of prices although the trend or the more speculative issues was main- ly towards higher levels some note- worthy gains being established.
 Making due allowance for recognized in- dustrial conditions, the United States Steel earnings proved disappointing. On the other hand, the course of Pennsyl- vania stock for some weeks seemed to foreshadew a cut, but the effect on sentiment was none the less adverse.
 The success of the Chicago, Burlington and Qancy refunding plan was generally accepted as foregone conclusion be- cause of the attractive terms which ac- companied the offering and also because the project as a whole involved only nominal cash transfer
 Efforts to convert the reduced British bank rate into bull argument were abandoned when it became known that only once before in a period of some CO., odd wears had such nominal cut from the maximum quotation been made.
 The local money market experienced a slight Hurry. call loans rising to per cent in anticipation of heavy May dis bursements. Borrowers received assur- arces. however. that time funds extend ing we'll beyond the mid-year may soon be obtainable at concessions from exist ing rates
 With British and French exchange at their most favorable quotations inc many months, it was evident that international bankers regarded the latest German pay ment proposals as in the nature of basis for further negotiations, The steady inflow of gold to this country engaged the attention of economists to the ex- clIsion of almost all other topics

For Good of the
 Community

' 1 of Caesar was stamped and asked Him whose it was He told them to give it to Caesar Simplest thing in the world. A child would have done as He did,
 Then they asked Him who was ones neighbor and told the story of the traveller and the Pub lican. That was also simple No man who had heard Him failed to understand. The truth is as clear as day to those who wish to know it and follow in the way it points
 They were wont to speak of bad children more so once than now. Just as soon as they be- gan asking how children get to be bad they dis covered that they were not bad, but little stray sheep whose woody sides had been more exposed to briers and brambles than they should have been and, therefore, were not as neat and trim as they would have been under proper care.
 They called it heredty until clarity of thought made them ask what constitutes hered- ity. Bad heredity is absence of a chance. The remedy is affording the chance that heredity denied. Ragged and friendless childhood has been transformed into WondrOus material re- putting all the theories of degeneracy.
 The fundamental truth about man is his de- sire to be better than he is There has never been such a thing as degeneracy. The froth of vice rises to the top of the social fabric and rides the surface but virtue treads the depths and mans nobility of character is always just be- meath the crest.
 In the same Rome that burned incense before a golden horse Roman maids and youths gave their flesh to beasts in the arena
 The great Gregory was told about the Angles of Britain. He said they should become angels instead He went to them with the cross and the simple truths of Christ and fulfilled his proph- ecy. He makes men better who believes in men. He who believes in men is better himself.
 Test of the worlds degeneracy vel non came at an epoch when degeneracy seemed to have won; to stride the world A carpenters son walked about little strip of territory in the Roman empire no larger than few Alabama counties, preaching the golden rule
 Contemporary historians gave Him scant notice. Josephus barely heard of Him. Yet organism in the hour of it's triumph had been given death blow Men were ready for the Divine message. They always are.
 Where there is backwardness in city, state. nation it is due to failure on the part of those in high station to measure up to the nobility of mind and heart of those whom they rule They play not to the better part of their people, but to the baser, which is on top.
 When man in office does sound the real man and woman of his community that community throbs with a new vitality. It would be done oftener If men in power had that respect for their fellow man to which he isentitled. Ifmen regarded and revered the good in men half as much as they fear their meanness and their It. tleness, public administration would take on beneficence not heretofore dreamed of
