IN modern English literature the

culine and It's gender is now so fixed.
But in old English the sun was always
termed feminine, MS It is IN Milton;
Shakespeare however, considered the
sun masculine. The Germans stm
refer to the sun as feminine, while In
French It Is masculine.

plans to Average Down His Loss

ouestion--Plcase give me advice about
Virginia Railway Power Company bonds
sai Which l. lsss PAID afousd RSs ssl7. ask your
opinion about buying one at the market
price, at present 66 or 6e, so that ono
would Offset the other.--J. II. Ia
Answer-The fact that you already
hold s, per cent Virginia Railway
s. Power Company bond should have.
nothing to do with the purchase Of
so called, does not always work as it
in intended to do. So far as preserva-
tion of principal is concerned you can
do exactly the same thing with an
other security il that security hap
pens to increase in market value. AS
sumo that you buy security at So,
other than your Virginia Railway g.
Power Company, and that 1t increases
in market price, it will offset your
loss in Virginia Railway & Power Com
pany in the same way that an increase
in price in Virginia Railway & Power
Company would. In the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1920, Virginia Railway
& Power earned S3,267 $50, and inter
est and rental charges cali for $1,751,-
TAO. In the next six months, however,
ended December 81, 1920, the net earn
ings were only a little above interest
and tax requirements, but in the three
months ended March 81 the company
did somewhat better, earning $814,929,
with $580,575 interest charges. We
think that in the long run the foreign
government issues will sell consider
ably higher in this market, and would
prefer, for instance, to buy Kingdom
of Denmark 8s, at slightly below par,
than to buy another Virginia Railway
& Power bond.

B u siness IN e W q
Decline i'm Prices Unsettles
Cotton Goods; to Cut Output
Gradual Improvement
Reported i'm Business

Reports from wholesalers aud
manufacturers to The Credit Guide
during the week indicated gradual
improvement in many lines. Con-
ditions remain quiet, however, and
the tendency to delay placing orders
as long as possible is noticed. The
Credit Guide says:
Buyers are still acting cautiously,
but are placing better sized orders.
Reports from road statesmen are
more encouraging. For every 1000
orders reported this week in the
mems wear there were 946 the pre-
vious week, and in the women's
wear, for every 1000 orders this
week there were 964 the previous
week. The carpet and house fur
nishing lines reported the best i'm
provement, indicating about Is per
cent in orders and amounts over the
previous week.
Reports on collections covering
all industries indicate there is ap-'
proximately an IL per cent reduction
in past due accoupts. Current bills
are met in a satisfactory manner
and the retailer does not persist in
demanding long terms as he did in
the past"

widow Needs Greater Safety

Question: widowed client with but a
small amount of capital through q friend,
was advised to purchase $1b0e Spanish
River Pulp and Paper Mills per cent
Black Mountain Corporation 6 per cent

a steady income sufficient to take care
of her needs. At this clients request as
10 report as to their investment value I
have come to the conclusion that they are
not prime securities which Widows cap
ital should be invested In when 1t is Inn
perative there be absolute safety of prin-
TO date information regarding these issues
and would be pleased to have the
benefit OF what information you may have
regarding them as to safety of principal

Business Failures Show
Decrease from Last Week

A decrease in the number of bust
ness failures this week as compared
with last week was reported by the
Credit Guide and by R. G. Dun g. Co.
Bradstreet's noted an increase, how
ever, placing the figures at 324. against
272 in the preceding week, and 119 In
the corresponding week of last year.
The Credit Guide analysis shows
295 as against 1872 last week and 1876
for the corresponding week of 1920 In
the current week So per cent of the
600 each and II per cent ran between
$4,000 and $25,000 The average in
debtedness for the week was $28, ,250,
as against $24,700 last week.
The large manufacturing cities
showed remarkable decrease in the
number of failures this week over the
previous week, and the decrease has
been continuous in the past few
months. New York City had twenty
two failures this week as against
thirty-four last week. The reduced
failures in the manufacturing and
wholesale business reflect improved
conditions and liquidates,d stocks; The
decreased number of failures will also
tend to improve wholesale prices in
general, because fewer bankrupt stocks
will be thrown upon the market, it is
felt.
The Credit Guide finds that of the
total failures 43 per cent were in the
wearing apparel and dry goods indus
try, 28 per cent in the general food
lines, and IS per cent in the furniture
and house furnishing lines.
Dun puts the figures this week at
276, fifty three fewer than in the pre-
vious week. Failures in Canada showed
little change for the week. In the United
States insolvencies decreased in all the
geographical divisions except the Pa
cific Coast. according to Dun's reports.

New French Liner
Paris Wins Praise
On Visitors I)ay
Sails To-day ON the Return
Part of Maiden Voyage;
Her Name Symbolic of
France, Herrick Writes

The new transatlantic liner Paris,
of the French Line, which sails to-day
for France on the return trip of her
maiden voyage, was opened for the in
spection of the public yesterday and
a constant stream of visitors went over
the big ship from the engine room to
the bridge. In the afternoon officials
of the line and officers of the vessel
gave an informal luncheon to members
of the Ship News Reporters Asso-
citation.
Myron T. Herrick, ambassador to
France, sent the following message to
j. Dai Piaz, president of the Com
pagnie Generate Transatlantique, which
owns the Paris
81 am deeply disappointed that can
not, by reason of necessary prep
arations for my departure to beloved
France, be present to celebrate with
you the first embrace of the American
shore by the good ship Paris and join
in extending my welcome, greetings
and best wishes to the captain, officers
and crew.
"This charming meeting on board Of
clouds that long darkened the world
light ahead.
"The name Of the ship is symbolic
of France, for Paris is the heart of
France, and the motto of Paris is SYM
bolic Of the victory SO dearly bought:
Paris 'Fluctuat Nee Mergitur.'
81 beg you to convey my affection
ate greetings to the Ambassador and
Ambassadress Of France, to Marshal
Fayolle and to the France-Canada Com
mission and assembled guests. l thank
you most sincerely, Mr.. President, for
your delightful hospitality.
whilst / am deprived Of the pleas
ure of returning to~paris on the Paris,
on her maiden voyage, l shall, however,
soon return to my friends in France on
the mother, rather than sister-ship,
La France"
The message was read Thursday
night at dinner to a number of dis
tinguished guests which included the
members of the Fayolle Mission which
is on it's way to Canada to present the
Rodin statue, "France After Victory" !"
as a souvenir of the war.
While not the largest ship afoat, the
Paris has been designed to be one Of
the most comfortable and artistically
finished. The paintings. woodwork and
ether interior decorations are the work
of a group of we'll known modern
artists artists who have attempted to
show the spirit of the revival of
French art which followed the war.
She is equipped with every modern
safety device and particular care has
been taken to make her a steady sailer.
The Paris has accommodations for
3,240 passengers and carries a per-
sonnet of 664. Her gross tonnage is
53,700 and her displacement is $3.50.
The engines develop 44,0o0 horse
power.

Separate Skirts i'm Demand
Trade Looks for Another Sea-
son of POPULAR STYLE

Increased demand for separate skirts,
especially for summer and early au-
tun1n wear, is taken by many skirt
manufacturers to indicate another
season dof this feature which has be-
come popular among women.
Baronettes and serge satins are said
to be in such demand that buyers are
securing the market for supplies, vir-
tualiy exhausting materials. Fall lines
are being delayed TO expedite deliveries
for summer use. Silk crepes in all
popular shades are being pushed by
some concerns, but there seems to be
an almost Unsuitable demand for white
in all grades of silk.
Darker shades are expected to be
leaders in fall samples, which will be
ready late next month.

Curtailsnent Looked For
Among Manufacturers in
Next Two Months; Say
They Can't Meet Prices

The decline in prices of cotton goods
has unsettled the trade to such an ex-
tent that forward business is virtually
at standstill. Jobbers are Offering
64x60 print cloths at 6s cents yard,
which is practically the low point Of
the year, and the demand at this level
continues small.
Estimates of production this week at
Fall River placed the output at less
than $4,000 pieces, and buyers and SELL
ers showed little interest in the mar
ket. Delivery is spot in most instances,
but extending few weeks in other
cases.
1t is foregone conclusion that ex
tensive curtailment will occur during
July and August. The break in the cot
ton market the last of the past week
and the early part of this brought
about an unsettled condition that
served to hamper what little trading
there was. Manufacturers in general
have about reached the conclusion that
all efforts TO meet current prices are
futile, and consequently curtailment on
q more extensive basis during, the COM
ing months is expected.
Mills are unwilling to sell goods for
future delivery and at present goods
are being moved solely from the stock
on hand. Small lot sales have figured
extensively in the trading and big
feature of the market is the number Of
sales comprising 100, 200 and 500 piece
lots.
While some fine goods mills are re-
ported to be well sold up, still there is
nothing to indicate any great activity
in either the print or fine goods divi-
sions. The market is at low ebb after
holding for month or so after 1t was
believed the bottom had been reached,
and now curtailment is looked forward
to as a relief,

both here and at primary sourcas.
Requirements have been filled for a
month ahead for the most part, 1t is
believed, and little business is looked
for until after July a.
The unofficial announcement from
Japan that the imperial syndicate had
decided to make no further purchases
was regarded as another factor favor
ing lower PRICES The syndicate is
understood to hold 42,40O bales. With
this support removed the trade an
ticipates gradual return to normal
conditions, and it is felt that this will
be brought about by downward re-
vision of prices. In fact, there appears
to be some foundation for the opinion
expressed recently by large raw silk
dealer here that prices would be con-
siderably lower late in the autumn.

Commercial Credit

Commercial borrowers are finding it
easier to cover their needs, and while
paper is being done on 6A to 7 per
cent basis, some bills have been dis
counted at Ga per cent. The easier
tone in the outside market follows the
lowering of the discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
from 61s to per cent. The accept
ance market is not SO active as it
was few days ago. Although bills
are moving fairly we'll, continued low
rates for call money have helped the
acceptance market.
The American Acceptance Council
quoted the following discount rates on
prime bankers acceptances eligible
for purchase by Federal Reserve
