BANK FAILURES
DROP IN APRIL

Bank failures in the United
States, which have been declining
steadily since the turn of the
year, showed further improve
ment in April. when 50 institu-
tions closed their doors,as COM
pared with 88 in March, IS in
February, and 2O3 in January,
according to figures issued today
by the Federal Reserve board.
There were 80 less failures in
April, than during the same
month of 1880. indicating to
officials that the banking situa-
tion has improved over last year,
as well as compared with con-
ditions existing in 1881, prior to
April.
Another indication of increas-
ing strength was found in the
fact, that during the first three
months of the year the member
banks of that country had in
creased their holdings in United
States securities by more than
5000, 100000.

COTTON PRICES
ARE HIGHER

NEW YORK, May 10 Q.N.S0.
Cotton future contracts on the
New York Cotton Exchange raj
lied sharply during the forenoon
trading today after an early de-
cline to the lowest prices since
August, 1915.
A marked increase in Southern
selling took place at the opening
Liverpool and the continent sold
while wire houses liquidated near
months. Late in the first hour,
however, cooperative brokers, the
trade and spinners bought in
good volume, and prices advanced
half a dollar bale on the
average.
At midday. May sold at 9:O3,
up 2; July at 9.24, up Z; october
at $50, up 4; December at $50.
up S; January at 9.89, up 3, and
March at 1910, up S. T.
The week so far was generally
unfavorable. termination was
slow. Satisfactory growth was
impossible and perhaps some re-
planting will be necessary. But
no irreparable harm was done,
and the amount of replanting
made necessary by the unfavor-
able weather or other causes will
probably not be greater than in
an average year.

Accident Statistics Urge
Wisdom of Insurance

The above statistics show the
large number of accidents caused
by the automobile. The numerous
accidents occurring in the home
are not so familiar to everyone.
The four principal causes of in
juries suffered by adults around
the home are falls, cuts, collisions
and burns, with falls claiming
the greatest number. More than
a. per cent of the adults injured
in home accidents last year were
hurt in falls. More than 81 per
cent suffered cuts, with z, per
cent injured in collisions, and
almost per cent suffering burns.
Within the home, more persons
fell upon stairs than in any other
way, the statistics showing that
nearly IA per cent of the adults
injured slipped on stairwayS.
More than IL per cent were in
jured in falls on floors and rugs,
while more than per cent were
injured in falls in bathtubs and
showers. Of the total number in
homes more than II per cent
were injured as the result Of
handling sharp instruments and
because of broken glass, and
nearly 8 per cent we're harmed
in humping inanimate objects.
Contact with stoves and radiators
was the principal causes OF burns.
Insurance Protection
A fifth of the adults injured in
all kinds of accidents have been
hurt while around the home, &C
cording to statistics for the last
five years. ..
In view of the above statistics,
no one should overlook the i'm
portance of carrying complete &C
cident insurance coverage. A per-
son who is not insured against
this great hazard is playing
against long odds.
Accident insurance is not ex-
pensive. For about $25 year,
a policy can be purchased pay
ing $500 in case of accidental
death and $25 a week for any
injury. Such a contract carries
additional benefits such as hos
pital, nurses, surgeons fees etc.

Bv FRANK F. LOOMS

More than 16U,UUU persons
have been injured and killed in
1862, 900 automobile accidents dur
ing the first three months Of this
year, the deaths totalling nearly
$500 for the country. e
Driving at excessive speeds;
on the wrong side Of the road;
failure to grant the right-of-way,
and cutting in and out Of lines
of traffic caused 73 per cent of
the accidents and 81 per cent
of the deaths. Motorists unable
to keep cars under control have
caused is per cent of the acci-
dents and 36 per cent of the
deaths.
Worse Each Month
Although 40 per cent Of the
accidents involving pedestrians
occurred at intersections, such
mishapS caused only q per cent
of the pedestrian deaths. Twenty.
seven per cent of the accidents
involving pedestrians occurred be-
tween intersections, the fatalities,
however, totalling nearly 20 per
cent. The appearance of ped.
estrians from behind parked cars
was responsible for IL per cent
of pedestrian deaths, while near.
ly is per cent of the fatalities
were of pedestrians walking along
highways.
Reports from States having
more than 96,000,00O population
III January show an increase of
more than 13 per cent, the mum
ber of deaths for that month
being estimated at nearly 1890.
Reports for February from
States having 100000 popula.
ton show an increase of 4.49
Per cent, with estimated deaths
totaling more than 1000. Stats
tics for March from States with
100000 population show an in
crease of 9.15 per cent, deaths
for the entire country being esti-
mated at more than 1900. Deaths
for the first quarter have in
creased about the same percent
age as during the first three
months last year over the same
period in 1929.

With all wheat-seeding com.

CURB MARkE7 I
HAS RALLY

NEW YORK, May 10 Q.N.S0.
The long downward movement in
curb prices gave indications of
having reached a temporary bot
tom today as a further initial
spell Of reaction was followed by
irregular rallying t n d e n es,
which enabled many issues to re-
trace all of their early loss and
show some slight net advance at
the midday mark.
Utilities were the first group to
reflect the let-up in offerings, al
though the upturn did not develop
until a number of important
stocks had receded to new low
ground for the year.
SpecialtieS showed diverse
trends, with strength evideneed
in Parker Rustproof which rose
2A to 1922, and aluminium
which was 11a points higher at
1891. Great Atlantic and
Pacific stores was heavily sold
on announcement that the
supreme court had declared valid
the Indiana chain store tax law,
and lost II points at 1872. Amer
lean Cigar was also a weak spot,
falling off 112 points to 65.
United Founders was a soft
spot in the investment trust list,
dipping " point to the lowest
prices in it's history at 55s.
