but conservative increase. February
exports being ;-bout fifty per cent
greater than November. The United

Mexico. France, and the Netherlands

recent months.
Europe, with relatively poor har-
vests last year and a gradual i'm
provement in the standard Of liv-
Ing, is concentrating its resources
upon the Importation of foodstuffs,
especially grain and meat products.
The outlook is promising for COM
paratively large purchases, until at
least after the next harvest.
The surplus OF wheat in the
United States in 1891 moved un-
usually early. most of IL being ex-
ported from July to October, and
the diminished supply in this coun-
try has stiffened the domestic mar
ket until prices are getting to be
equivalent to or above the world
level, with a resultant decrease In

There were 511 insolvencies re-
ported last week. as compared with
544 defaults the previous week, and

COAL QUOTATIONS
WEAKER AS HUGE
STRIKE IS CALLED
Consumers Big Stocks
Main Cause*of Fresh
Declines.

PITTSBURGH. April 2.-In the
week that ended with the best sd-
vertised mining suspension there
has ever been in the. bituminous
coal industry. the market has
softened stIll further. Pittsburgh
district coal had almost no sale at
all. while Connellsviile coal has de-
clined to S1.50. with Sl.40 done in
some cases, for Pittsburgh veia.
and s1.25 Sewickley vein, the lat
ter being used but little for cox
ing. while the Pittsburgh vein IN
the Connellsville region is the coal
famous for decades for its eoklng
quality.
Independents Below Frfck Scale.
The low prices quoted by a num-
ber of Connellsville operators. wei;
below the cost OF production az the
Frick CSteel Corporation wage
scale. bring out the fact that crts
below that scale have been scUIn-
mon In the past few months.
whereas late last August T. was
understood that all independent :
were advancing to the Frlck scale.
Probabilities are very strong that
there will be strikes at some OF
the mines involved, technically
sympathetic" strikes.
The probability that there will be
labor troubles at some OF the non
union mines is, however, no: new,
and does not indicate that the cur
tailment in coal production will be
greater than forecast hitherto any
more than that thG softness in the
coal market at present suggests
that buyers are appraising the
strike as OF Tess important. .han
they did formerly. The difficulty
In selling coal now is attributable
to consumers having been fore.
handed in laying in stocks. not
wishing to be caught in a poss bic
last-minute rush.
Coke Prices Also Fall.
Connellsville furnace coke can be
picked up at s3,25 in small prompt
lots. against the ruling market OF
$3.50 a week ago. The softening is
attributable indirectly to the poorer
market lately ruling for coal.
which induced operators to blow in
coke ovens. At the beginning of
February the attitude was the
other way, there being q, clearly
more money In coal than in coke.
Coal was higher then than now
and coke was lower, even below

BANK CLEARINGs.

Following the previous weeks
more favorable exhibit. bank clear
ings last week disclosed a widening
of the margin OF increase over the
figures Of year ago. Thus, aggre-
gate clearings OF s22.23s,oe0 at
twenty cities In the United States
last week, as reported to Dun's Re-
view, represent q gain of 22.7 per
cent over the 1921 total, although
showing a reduction Of 24.s per cent
from the clearings Of this week Of
1890 Comparing with a year ago
increases predominate. with the
gains ranging from, OF per cent at
Omaha to 25.s per cent at Boston.
and the aggregate Of the cities out

COMMODITY PRICES.

Continued easy conditions pre-
vailed in the wholesale commodity
markets last week, 3s reeessions
appearing in the comprehensive list
of quotations compiled by Dun.s Re-
view. as against 80 advances. The
previous week IS declines compared
with 2S gains, while a similar COM
parison for the corresponding week
a year ago reveals that Il out OF
50 changes were toward a lower
level
Fluctuations in the grain markets
were confined within a compara-
lively narrow range, a disappoint-
ing export demand about offsetting
strengthening crop and other ad-
advices, and net changes represented
a substantial Improvement In wheat
and oats, but moderate declines in
corn, rye and barley. In live meats.
receipts OF beef and hogs were
barely equal to requirements ana
quotations were strong. but sheep
were very firm on account of the
limited marketings. Provisions were
firm and tended upward, in response
to a steady consumptive demand.
Although only moderate net changes
were recorded, reasonable prices

eggs that all grades ruled strong
last week, but while butter eased
off under free offerings, short sup
plies held desirable quality cheese
very steady.
Buying OF iron and steel displayed
more activity than for many months.
and though few changes were an
nounced last week. the markets
were very firm and advances Al,
along the line within the near fu-
ture are generally expected. In the
minor metals no important alte=a-
tions appeared.
Irregular conditions still feature
the situation in cotton goods, labor
troubles affecting both supplies and
demand, and the prevailing tone Is
easy. A somewhat stornger feeling
seems to be developing in hides and
leather. but no essential change In
values is perceptible. -

Chilean Trade Is
More Favorable
Exchange Better and General
" Business Appears More
Active.

Fundamental conditions appesr
more sound and are accompanied
with n slight Improvement in gem
eral business. according to a cable
TO the Department of Commerce
from Commercial Attache Mcqueen.
Exchange has improved. the aver
age for the first twenty-three days
OF March being s0.l1h. Consider
able uncertainty exists as to wheth-
er this Improvement will continue.
due to divided opinion as to future
developments and the heavy specu-
lation In exchange.
American business is not pro-
crossing in Chile due to lack OF
adequate representation and serv-
ice rather than an adverse exchange
or noncompetitive prices. This is
apparently the best time for our
business houses to make an ener-
getic and intelligent effort TO de-
velop their trade with that couf-
try IL we are not to see our Eu-
ropean competitors obtain the
greater share of new orders as
they are placed.
The trade in staple commodities
continues larger than that in spe-
cialties. but such orders as are be-
ing placed in the latter are mostly
going to Europe.
Due to the continued drought to-
ward the south of Chile. il is ex-
pected that the crop OF wheat will
be smaller than predicted. In this
connection IL is we'll to bear in
mind that owing to the high prices
OF bread during the latter part OF
last year efforts were made to have
the government prohibit the unlim-
tied expectation of wheat.

STATE MEDIATION
FAILS in RHODE
ISLAND SITUATION
State Board Resigns Aft.
re Rejection of Serv-
ices by Owners.


ignation Of the members of the
state board of mediation and con.
ciliation, which has been endeavor-
ing sinc9 February Is to settle the
cotton workers strike that started
ten weeks ago, was the chief de-
velopment in the strike situation
during the past week. Its Efforts
had been declined by the strikers
as well as the manufacturers, and
after several attempts to make
headway It's members decided that
nothing could be done at this tiins.
It gave out the following state
ment: The board of mediation
and conciliation, having exhausted
all reasonable means to adjust the
textile strike, has decided that a
further continuance Of its efforts
would be without advantage to the
parties to the strike or the public
generally. The members of the
board hereby tender their resigna-
tion to the State board Of labor.
1900 Worker. Idle.
Approximately 1900 textile
workers in Rhode Island are idle
at the end of the ninth week of
the strike, that has tied up prac-
tically all the cotton factories and
finishing plants in the State. More
than 5000 of these formerly were
employed in mills which have
closed down entirely, while the re-
mainder are out on strike at plants
which are operating in part. There
has been no change in the strike
deadlock during the past week.
The, reduction in wages ordered
in the Lawrence mills and the or
unions in that city this week were
a severe blow TO the strikers in
this State. They felt that with a
firm stand by the strikers here and
the tying up Of the cotton and I'm
ishing industry throughout the
State, manufacturers in other Sec
tions would not cut wages, know
ing that a strike would certainly
result. The action OF the manu-
facturers strengthens the belief
among mill workers in this State
and nearby centers that the ru-
mored cut in wooden and worsted
plants here will come In the near
future, probably before the end OF
May.
Merchants Lsse Trade.
Retail merchants are uneasy over
the possible developments. The
strike OF the cotton mill workers
has caused a loss in business at re-
tail Stores in Rhode Island amount
ing to many thousands Of dollars,
and the retailers fear that a strike
among the wooden and worsted
workers would be the last straw.
Already the strike In the Paw
/, tuxet Valley and the Blackstone
Valley, started nine weeks ago, has
forced storekeepers to lay of sales
people because OF the falling of In
the volume of trading in the stores
Men high up in the woolen and
worsted mills in Rhode Island are
having very little to say as to the
future. They admit confidentially
that there is practically no bust
ness and that a reduction in wages
is bound to come. They have felt
that such a step should be held OF,
is possible, until the cotton strike
is disposed Of, but many when
questioned this week admitted that
the time for cutting wages Is near
at hand. regardless OF the situation
in the cotton mills.
