Dry Goods Movement.

Continuance of the irregularities
in business and prices is noted in
textile lines. With the featuring of
staple merchandise at much lower
prices than those prevailing a year
ago. retail dry goods distribution
Is being forced in many places, but
the movement, at the best, is mod
crate. Jobbers are still operating
conservatively for the future, the
policy of buying for immediate
needs still being very general. and
some interests have begun to re-
wise domestic coItons downward in
order to clean up the light stocks
in hand. While further price weak
ness has developed in print cloths.
the silk markets, in contrast, are
frmer, following more activity in
retail and wholesale channels. Re-
ports from the wooden goods divi-
sion, moreover, are encouraging. the
largest mems wear mills being en-
gagged to about IS per cent of ca
pacity for the next few months, and
several of the largest dress goods
plants having substantial orders on
their books.

PRICES STEADY
In CURB TRADING
Maracaibo Breaks One Point
Then Rallies; Other
Issues Easy.

NEW YORK, April 9.-There was
a sharp contraction of dealings on
the curb market today and at times
almost complete stagnation pre-
vailed. Price changes generally
were irregular and with one or
two exceptions were confined with
in fractional limits. Commission
houses had but few orders and
traders did less than on the small
est day recently.
Maracaibo attracted most atten-
tion, being firm at the start and
then breaking a point ON selling
pressure. with a later rally on short
covering. Simms Petroleum was
dull, the sales being made at yes
terday's low point. Carib Syndicate
was quiet and comparatively heavy.
Guffey Gillespie was traded in at a
slight decline, but a later bid at
a higher figure was not filled. Quo
tations for the Standard Oils were
about unchanged.
In the miscellaneous list most is
sues were steady. This was true of
Southern Coal and Iron and Durant
Motors. Quite a number of other
issues which had been active re-
Gently were lower in the quota
tions, but no transactions took
place.
Mining stocks continued fairly
active, with considerable interest in
National Tin, which scored an ad-
vance on rumors OF important de-
velopments in the near future.
Many other stocks were easier.
Bonds were about steady and
only fairly active.

Index Number Yielding.

With the compilation of the April
index number. it is seen that last
months price d,/;ine, as measured
by Dun's calculation of wholesale
quotations, Slightly exceeded 4 per
cent. This marks a more rapid rate
OF yielding than was witnessed In
February, when the recession was
little more. than 2 per cent, but is
less than occurred in, other recent
preceding months. From the high
level of last May, the index num-
Der has fallen nearly "a per cent,
and is now at the lowest point
touched since the beginning of 1917.
Comparing with the pre-war basis,
however, an advance of fully A. per
cent Is disclosed. and the present
figure Is some 55 per cent above the
April l average for the decade prior
to 1914. Excepting the class desig-
mated as "other food" all of the
groups comprising the index num-
Der declined last month. the largest
-eductiop being in breadstuffs.

FAILURES LAST WEEK.

In contrast with the previous
weeks moderate reduction, COM
mercial failures last week disclose
an increase, numbering 322 in the
United States. This total compares
with 299 defaults reported to r. G.
Dun and Company, the previous
week, or % more, and with 309 in
solvencies three weeks ago. In this
week Of last year, the mortality
was at an unusually low level, the
failures then numbering only 104,
while there were 14S defaults in the
corresponding period of 1919. Ex-
cepting the Pacific Coast, where a
decrease of 10 appears, more in
solvencies occurred last week than
in the previous week in all of the
geographical sections into which the
statement is separated, the increases
ranging from 3 in the South to 20
in the East. The number in. the
West is 16 larger, or an increase
of rs per cent, and the difference
in the East is about "a per cent.
Despite the increased total Of fall
ures, the number of defaults in
volving $1,000 Or more of liabilities
in each instance is little changed
from that Of the previous week. such
insolvencies number ITS, against
IT'S. The proportion of these failures
to the total number is, moreover,

being 55.3 per cent, as compared
with 5s.5 per cent. A year ago, on
the other hand, the ratio of the in
solvencies for $1,000 or more was
only 46.1 per cent;
Some increase in defaults were
also noted in the Dominion of
Canada last week, the number be-

FURNISHED by American Security

Imports of Cotton BY England.

Imports OF American cotton into
Great Britain from August /, 1890,
to March IL. 1921. constituted "a
per cent of the total importations
of cotton compared with 73 per cent
during the corresponding period
in 1890. according to the reports OF
the Liverpool Cotton Exchange
notwithstanding the noteworthy
efforts made by the British to en-
courage the production OF cotton in
the colonial possessions in Africa
and elsewhere, IL is interesting to
note that the American cotton crop
appears to be more than holding its
own w!th the British production.

Hide and Leather Situation.

The general aide, leather and
-footwear situation reflects more
tangible evidence of Improvement.
A revival of activity in domestic
packer hides has only developed at
further price concessions, but re-
cent transactions have been of
sizable proportions, and River Plate
stock has also moved in good
volume. While weakness in leather
prices persists, with a widening of
the spread between the best and
poorest selections, business is be-
coming more diversified. 1t is con-
sidered encouraging that more patent
leather Is selling. and also more
colored calf to go into mems low
priced shoes. A better and broader
demand on the readjusted basis of
prices Is reported by retailers Of
footwear. some of whom have pur-
chasd so closely In the past that
reasonable goods are now needed
with which to meet the Increased
buying by consumers. Larger orders
are ON the books at a number, of
manufacturing establishments. and
confidence seems to be growing
throughout the trade.

Mexico Offers Mart for Corn.

There seems to be a good market
in Mexico at present for American
corn, according to reports received
from various consuls stationed in
that country. Ordinarily Mexico
raises enough corn to meet the de-
mands for local consumption. with
considerable surplus left for ex-
portation. Owing to the drought
during the last season. however.
the crop has fallen far short Of the
domestic needs, and considerable
quantities have already been
SHIPPED into Mexico from the United
States.

"Pape's Diapepsin" relieves stom-
ach distress in five minutes. You
don't want a slow remedy when your
stomach is bad-or an uncertain one
or a harmful one-your stomach is
too valuable; you mustn't injure il
with drastic drugs. Papes Diapepsin
is noted for its speed in giving relief,
its harml lessness, its certain unfailing
action in regulating sick, sour gassy
stomachs. Keep this perfect stom-
ach doctor in your home-keep il
handy-get a sixty-cent case from
any drug store, and then IL you
should eat something which doesn't
agree with you, II what you eat lays
like lead, ferments and sours and
forms gas; causes headaches. dizzi-
ness and nausea; eructations OF acid
and undigested food-remember as
soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in
contact with the stomach all indi-
gestion vanishes. II is the most ef-
ficient antacid known-the certainty
and ease with which il overcomes
stomach and digestive disorders is a
revelation to those who try il.

MERCHANTS PROTEST
CURB FISH MARKET

Elimination Of the curb fish mar
ket in Second street between Market
and King streets. was the subject OF
discussion by the Street and Sewer
Directors at their meeting this
morning. The discussion was caused
by the protest OF twelve indoor King
street fish merchants against the
maintenance of the curb fish market
as unfair competitors. Philip S.
Aceto, acting as spokesman for the
delegation, said the curb merchants
were not required to meet the over
head expenses required OF the visit
ing delegation, and also sold frozen
cold storage fish to the public rep
resenting them to be fish caught off
Lewes or some other nearby fishing
point.
Clerk OF the Market McAteer told
the directors ne thought the King
street delegation had good reasons
for their opposition. He said that
part OF King street occupied by the
curb fish market is one OF the dirt
lest portions and he thought some
thing should be done. It was de-
clared that the stencil coming from
that square at times was almost un-
endurable.

THIRD ELK IS
in CITY PARK
Eight More, Including Seven
Cows, Expected to be
Brought in Early
BAYNARD WANTS
DEER TREATED RIGHT

Still another buck elk. member OF
the herd Of eleven presented to the
city by United States Senator T.
Coleman DUPONT, has been captured
and transported safely from the
Senator's Brookdale Farm, near
Mount Cuba, to the new enclosure
prepared for the animals in North
Brapdywine Park. This makes
three bucks which have been moved
from the farm to the Zoo. Effort is
being made to capture the fourth
and remaining buck, and possibly
one or more of the seven cows.
The latest Luck captured fell vic
time to his own greed, the same as
did the big elk, leader Of the herd
which was caught last Saturday.
Feed was placed within a small en-
closure within the elk's paddock at
the farm, and the buck, literally
showing aside the does. went for It..
Then Gibson. a former western
ranchman, who has taken the con-
tract for transporting the animals.
dropped a lasso over the elk's horns.
With the aid of wilkins. his assist
ant. Gibson next managed to get a
lasso about the elk's legs, after which
he threw the animal and bound It.
The elk was placed in a crate and
brought TO the park in a farm wagon.
The three bucks in the park en-
closure get along splendidly. It was
reported yesterday that there had
been a fight between two OF them,
but this was denied today by Park
Commissioner Samuel II Baynard.
There is a small red deer in the en-
closure with the elk. This deer be-
came a little too familiar to suit one
OF the bucks. and the latter lowered
its horn and drove Il away. Com
missioner Baynard Is OF the opinion
that the elk and deer will get along
amicably, as they are all members
Of the same general family. II nee
essary, however, the deer will be
placed in a separate enclosure.
