FAILURES LAST WEEK.

A check to the declining tendency
of failures was noted last week. de-
faults in the United States number
:ng 333. This total represents an in
crease of 81 over the 312 insolven-
cies of the Immediately preceding
week, but it Is slightly less than the
number reported to r. G. Dun &
Company two weeks ago. During
this week of last year. in sharp con-
trast, the failures numbered only
107.
Most of the increase in defaults
last week, as compared with those
OF the previous week. occurred in
the West, where there were Is more
insolvencies, and the failures were
more numerous by on the Pacific
coast. In the South, however, there
was practically no change. and
reduction of 6 defaults appears in
the East. With the larger total of
insolvencies. those for $4,000 or
more OF liabilities in each instance
increased. numbering 1S5. This COM
pares with leo such failures the pre-
vious week. or IS more, and is IL
more than, the number reported
three weeks ago. The proportion
of the defaults for $1,000 or more
OF indebtedness to the total number
is also higher at 55.6 per cent.
against SIS per cent the previous.
week. and 52.4 per cent three weeks
ago. Last year. in the correspond
ing week. the ratio of such insol-
vencies was relatively low at 4s.7
per cent.
Numbering 81. failures in the
Dominion of Canada last week
disclose no change from those of
the previous week, and are s less
than the number of three weeks ago.
In this week Of 1920, however,
there were only IL Canadian de-
faults. OF the aggregate, number
last week. II involved $1,000 or more
Of liabilities in each instance, which
is more than occurred the previous
week.

Reduction in Exports.

Appearing at an unusually early
date. the April foreign trade returns
disclose a continued reduction in
this nations overseas merchandise
movements. While imports in
creased some 100000 in value last
month. amounting to s255. 900, 900.
this gain was much more than offset
by decrease of nearly S47,0o, 900 in
exports, which aggregated s34o, ,ooo,-
600. The latter total Is not only
the smallest of any month in a num-
Der OF years, but is fully SO per
cent below that of April of last
year, when the shipments ran be-
yond S6s4,o00,00o. The April inn
ports, although s24o.e00,oo less
than those OF that month of 1920
are the largest of the current year,
and the export excess last month
was lowered to SIS, 100000. This
export excess compares with one Of
more than s134.o00.00o in March,
while in April. last year. the ex-
ports surpassed the imports by ap-
proximately s1sa. 900, 900.

Dry Goods Markets Firmer.

Improvement in dry goods con-
ditions, which has been developing
for some time past, is reflected in
the greater measure OF stability in
primary markets. Following long
continued liquidation. firmness is ap-
pearinG in prices. with fractional re-
coveries occurring on certain fab
rics. While the situation remains
uneven, it is significant that con-
servative purchases are being made
more frequently, and that senti-
ment is steadily Strengthening. The
latter phase is partly due to the
lessening of monetary stringency,
but it also results from the evidence
of reviving demand and better pro-
duction records. Not only has there
been a check to the spread of cur
tailment at mill centers, but many
instances are noted of mills resum-
ing operations after long idleness.
AS illustrating the freer buying
now current. the best-known lines
of bleached muslins are sold ahead
for two or three months, and some
other roducts are also well under
order

PITTSBURGH. May 15.-The inde-
pendent steel producers are very
much interested in the complaint Is
sued a week ago by the Federal
Trade Commission against the prac-
tice of pittsburgh basing or
pittsburgh plus" in the sale OF steel
products. The system is that the
buyer. wherever located. is charged
a delivered price equal to a Pitts
burgh basis price plus the rail
freight from Pittsburgh to the point
of delivery. no matter where the
shipment is made from.
Although the independents are
more interested in the case than Is
even the Steel Corporation, the
Trade Commission did not name any
of the independents in the COM
plant, which is directed solely
against the Steel Corporation and
it's subsidiary or operating com
panies. The matter has been be-
fore the commission for about two
wears as to whether or not Tor
NAL complaint should be issued, ana
the chief point with the commission
has probably Deen NO" HiuSH Jul '''
diction II had under the Trade Com
mission act and the Clayton act.
Probably the commissions juris-
'diction is greater against single
concern. the Steel Corporation. than
It would be against the steel indus
try in general. and that. presuma-
bly,, Is the reason the case is made
simply against the Steel Corpora
tion. The result would be the same
in the event Of an adverse ruling.
since the independents could not
possibly continue to sell Pitts
burgh plus" II the Steel Corporation
should abandon the practice. The
independents therefore are deter
mined to intervene.
The case will be a long one, as
1t will probably require a year or
two for the Trade Commission to
get through with it. and then II the
decision is adverse to pittsburgh
plus" the case must go through the
courts and the courts would prob
ably require twice as much time as
the commission had required. The
trade considers it probable that
competition will eliminate the prac-
tice sooner than the commission
and the courts can eliminate it.

at that rate the 5.Si5.224 tons re

sumers, who are simply taking out

to secure additional protection for
deliveries in the future.

MAY RETALIATE

Argentina to Tax Our Branch

Especial Correspondents Of The Washington

lspecanl Correspondenoe Of The WaShngto
Herald and New York Evening Post.)
BUENOS AIRES, May 15.-Amer-
ican business concerns in Argentina
are much interested in the project
of new banking law drawn up by
Deputy J. C. Moreno. The chief
point Of this legislation is in the
clause providing that branches of
banks whose head officers are in
foreign countries and which have
been established in this country
subsequently to December 81, 1910,
shall be subject. in addition to GER
tain inspection periodically by OFF,
cial accountants, to a tax of 20 per
cent on. the net profits shown in the
balance sheets called for by the Ar
Sntine bank law"
This legislation has been declared
to be frankly a retaliation upon
American banks because of the
american bank laws which prohibit
the establishment of foreign
branches in the United States. 1t Is
also believed in some quarters In
Buenos Aires that this proposal is
the first of a series of measures
against American trade in reply to
the Fordney tariff bill.

AUTOMOBILE FIGURES

The figures of automobile reglstra-
ton for the year 1920 show total OF
277,O93 passenger cars licensed,
against 225, 40 in 1919-an increase of
69,953, or % per cent The year 1919
showed an increase of 18 per cent over
1918,
A total of 16,2O5 motor trucks were
licensed last year as against 10,880 in
1919-an increase of so per cent. The
increase of 1919 over 1918 was 60 per
cent
A total of 5000 motorcycle licenses
were issued and 1916 dealers licen-
ses. This shows that there were $50
more dealers in the state last year
than in 1919.
The population of Wisconsin as
shown by the last census is 1851, 1889.
Adding together the total number Of
automobile, truck and dealers licen-
ses, it gives a total of 295,244 motor
vehicles, either passenger cars or
trucks. This would mean ratio of one
motor vehicle to each 9.02 people.

do-the Red Cross is always able to
cope with the situation.
During the last year there was an
average of four disasters month in

states suffered. The largest and most
destructive of these were the tidal
wave at Corpus Christi, Tex, and tor

In these events of horror, $50 per
sons were killed, 1900 were injured
1900 were made homeless, about 30.
600 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $1OO.0OOOOO and al
most $1,OOO,OO0 in relief funds, not
including emergency supplies, was ex,

To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth of supplies,
no Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
