House Peters is one Of the few
screen actors Of today who could
successfully portray the role of
Blair Cornwall. in this thrilling
story from the pen of May Eding-
ton and which was adapted to the
screen by Bradley King. The type
revealed in Lying Lips" Is that Of
. rugged, big souled, courageous
Canadian, unafraid Of hardships
and adventure. The ordinary screen
hero accustomed to doing the usual
society or business man role could
not hope to portray it. 1t calls Tor
. special type and House Peters
Is unQuestionably that type. 1t was
for that reason that Thomas II.

which gives him one of the biggest

Gain in Hide Business.

The trend toward recovery in hide
business, which has only appeared
after many months of almost un-
broken dullness. is becoming more
general. Evidence multiplies that
the market is in a well-liquidated
condition. and more confidence Is
being expressed in the trade. De-
yelopment Of some call for Latin
American dry hides. which have
been slow to reflect Improvement, is
considered a good omen, and do
mesttc packer stock has continued
to gain in activity. with some price
advances recorded. The well-sold
mp situation in calfskins, moreover,
is disclosed by a rise this week of
5 cents over prices secured on pre-
vfous transactions. While revival of
demand for leather Is mainly con-
fined to upper descriptions, the bet
terment in this quarter Is such as
TO give encouragement, and price
Increases on certain lines, the first

ADVERTISING USED
TO HOLD BUSINESS
Survey Shows No Curtailment
In Newspaper Space at
This Time.

Although there has been no con-
siderable reduction in advertising
space used. American business men
during the present period OF busi-
ness depression, are seeking greater
efficiency per inch of space, accord
ing to the domestic distribution de-
partment of the Chamber of Com
merce OF the United States. This
department has just completed a
survey made for the purpose of de-
termining what manufacturers, re-
tailers and wholesalers are doing to
cut overhead expenses as a means Of
meeting the demand for lower
prices.
What have you done to reduce
your publicity to a normal basis?"
was one Of the questions asked.
More than a fourth Of those answer
ing said that they had cut down ad-
vertising space, but that was in part
balanced by reports from many 9TH
ers who found depression a justifi-
cation for an increased use of ad-
vertising There was an actual in
crease in the use of circularizing as
a means of publicity, an indication
perhaps of a desire to move quickly
accumulated stock.
Frequently through the comment
which accompanied the answers to
the questions about publicity there
appeared a note of determination not
to cut OF advertising as a method
CT selling but to make certain of
greater results.

Our trade with Canada Is well de-
veloped and firmly established. The
same cannot be said with regard to
Mexico. The period of revolutions
through which that country has
passed in the last seven years has
upset any basis established prior to
that time. The recent visit to this
country by members of Federated
Mexican Chamber of Commerce has
emphasized the need to devote more
attention to our trade with that
country. Already German, French,
and English merchants are offering
big inducements to Mexican mer-
chants In order to secure their trade.
Many Of these countries have lower
ocean freight rates to Mexican
ports than We have from New York
to Vera Cruz. They are also offer
ing long term credit, sometimes ex-
tending to as much as twelve
months.
One OF the greatest needs OF Mex
lean business is better banking con-
nections with the United States and
better credit facilities with business
houses here. 1t would seem that this
neld offers an opportunity for some
OF our foreign banking corporations
to render a real service while wait
ing Tor conditions to become settled
in Europe.

in our trade with Mexico during the
last year. Imports from there in

calendar year 1920 are taken, the
showing Is still more favorable. Ex-
ports to Mexico during that period
totalled S207.S54.00O. and imports
amounted to $1S0.1s1,ooo.
Our trade with Canada has also
increased in volume in recent years,
but comparing this with the preyar

AGGRESSIVE SALES

CHICAGO. April 26.-There was a

by noon prices had advanced to
above yesterdays finish, with the
seaboard reporting around 100000
bushels sold for export to Belgium.
Italy and Germany. The export
business was reflected early by free
buying of May by houses with sea-
board connections, and some July
was also taken.-The general run of
news. however. was construed by
the trade as rather bearish. Frost
was reported in parts of Nebraska
and Kansas, but was ignored. Inc
continuation of the British coal
strike and the favorable crop re-
ports were factors in making the
early decline. but on the break there
was aggressive buying by strong
interests. Cash premiums were flrm
with a fairly good milling demand.
At Minneapolis premiums were 2a3c
lower.
Corn was slightly lower early. but
recovered the greater part of the
decline later in sympathy with
wheat and on buying induced by re-
ports of further export demand. Re

FAILURES LAST WEEK.

Following earlier reductions this
year. the recent tendency OF failures
has been toward increase. the num-
Der in the United States last week
being 81. This compares with $50
defaults reported to r. G. Dun &
Company the previous week, or q
more, and with 322 three weeks ago.
In striking contrast, the insolven-
cies in this week OF 1920 numbered
only 112.
While small decreases occurred
last week in the East. the West and
the Pacific coast, as compared with
the Immediately preceding week,
the improvement in these geograph-
ical sections is more than offset by
the rise of twenty-seven failures in
the South. With the larger number
of defaults, those for $4,000 or more
of liabilities in each instance again
disclose an increase, numbering 202.
This compares with is1 such insol-
vencies the previous week, or 81
more and the proportion of the fall

gate number is 54.4 per cent, against
