FIRST QUARTERS
FAILURES SHOW
SHARP INCREASE
4,870 Insolvencies Netting
$17s,5S9,9 ,9s9 Reported
By Dun.
1,627 IN 1920 PERIOD
Present Exhibit Unsatisfac-
tory from Default Stand
point Since 1915.

AS recent monthly returns had
clearly foreshadowed. the first quar-
ter's insolvency statement discioses
a further sharp rise in the .coun-
try's business mortality. From
3.49S failures for s12s.544.334 in the
final quarter OF 1920. the defaults in
the three months just ended in
creased to a total of 1870, involV-
ing sl7S,5s9,9S9 of indebtedness.
These figures, which are exclusive OF
banking and other fiduciary suspen-
sions, make striking contrast
with the only 1927 insolvencies for
s29,702.4s9 reported to r. g. Dun &
Co. during the first quarter Of last
year, when the commercial deatn
rate was at an abnormally low
level. The present exhibit Is, In
deed, the most unsatisfactory from
the standpoint of number OF sefaults
that has appeared since the opening
quarter of 1915, and on only four
other occasions in in the last thirty
years have there been so many fall
ures in any three months period.
The liabilities of the past quarter
insolvencies are, moreover. the
largest for any quarter OF which
there is record.
In the following table the number
OF commercial failures in each
month of the first quarter is com
pared for three years, with figures
of liabilities given for this year:

LOAN FOR COTTON
TRADE PROBABLE
War Finance Aid to Break
Market StagnatiOn Wins
Approval.

Following two days of confer
ences between a committee of South
ern bankers and the War Finance
Corporation, Eugene Meyer. head of
the corporation, announced yester-
day that an application for a loan
of 100000 to a Southern bank for
expectation of cotton to Western
Europe had been approved tenta-
lively.
1t was indicated that this is the
first step in a concerted effort on
the part of Southern bankers, aided
by the War Finance Corporation,
to break the stagnation in the mar
ket for cotton and food products.
and to start a steady stream of
these commodities flowing to Eu-
rope. The shipment of cotton au-
thorized yesterday, It was aid, will
go neither to Russia nor Central
Europe. but chiefly to France, Italy
and England.
Every application for a loan from
the War Finance Corporation Is
carefully scrutinized. and every ef-
fort made to protect the interests
of American investors in foreign
export projects. The campaign of
the bankers and the War Finance
Corporation has the active backing
Of the American shipping interests.

Proportionately, the expansion IN
the Indebtedness is greater than the
increase in number. owing largely
to 229 defaults of unusual size.
These large failures-for 100000
or more in each instance-supplied
sl14,S64.7SS of the quarters liabil-
tiles, or more than 81 per cent OF
the aggregate, while their number
is less than 5 per cent of the total.
The large insolvencies occurred
mainly among manufacturers and
traders, but the class embracing
agents, brokers and similar con-
Germs provided fully 40 per cent of
the indebtedness involved by these
defaults OF exceptional magnitude.
All failures considered, much the
largest increase in number. as COM
pared with the returns for the last
quarter of 1920. was among traders.
while the greatest rise in the in
debtedness, more than 100 per cent
was among agents. brokers, etc
The manufacturing division. on the
other hand, shows practically no
change as to number. and the liza
bilities are. about 3 per cent smaller
than those of the fourth quarter of
last year In point of total num-
ber. the month of January, with
1895 insolvencies, makes the poor

No important country of Europe
faces as difficult a task in its eco
nomic reconstruction as Italy. Italy
is utterly dependent upon the out
side world for her supply of fuel
and raw material. In the prewar
years approximately 40 per cent of
her imports were crude raw mate
rails, 20 per cent were partly man
ufactured materials, while still an
other 20 per cent consisted of food
stuffs.
Italy's most serious handicap Is
her utter lack of fuel. There Is no
coal of any consequence to be found
within her territory. About 1,500.-
900 tons of very low grade Ignite
are produced annually, but this will
not serve as a substitute for coal
1t can be mixed with good coal,
especially in the form of briquets.
and thus serve to eke out the i'm
ported supply.
Before the war Italy imported
from 100000 to 100000 tons OF
coal annually, mostly from Great
Britain Since the war coal imports
have been cut to the barest mini
mum. amounting to one-half the
prewar requirements. Many indus
tries have been forced to close be-
cause of scarcity and high price Of
fuel.
Furthermore. Italy produces only
a negligible quantity of mineral
oil. Practically her total consump-
tion of fuel oil and gasoline must
be imported. which, in view of the
high prices and increasing world
scarcity, offers no relief. Italy does
possess considerable potential wa
