WANTED NEW
TEXTILE MARTS

Creation of a textile commits
sion to develop new foreign mar
kets for American manufactured
cotton fabrics is planned by Ad-
miniStration leaders, it was
learned last night.
UneasineSs over the steadily
mounting surplus of domestically
made textiles, and possibility Of
forced closing of additional mills
in an election year, are reasons
advanced for the move, which is
being initiated by Secretary Of
Commerce Roper.
Formal announcement Of the
plan is expected next week when
the Commerce Department will
have had replies from textile
manufacturers and expor terS
whose service on the commission
is sought.
The tentative plan provides
first for a trade mission to Latin
America for study of the textile
market there. The delegation
would include leaders Of the in
dustry, and Federal financial and
marketing experts.

SPECTATORS
FEAR MARKET

NEW YORK, March IL Q.N.S) E.
The stock market would look a
good deal healthier to many
Spectators If it adopted a more
conservative tone in its current
recovery movement, instead of the
reckless, killing speed at which it
seems to be gated.
It is all we'll and good to have
these flashy advances of from
3 to 7 points and more in an i'm
posing list of specialties, but when
you have issues of such caliher as
U. S. Steel, Allied Chemical, Amer
ican Can, and Pennsylvania
actually close lower, critical
observers seem warranted in try
ing to get to the bottom of the
situation.
For all that. through, the ad-
vance of lat points in the Dow
Jones industrial averages yester-
day lifted this group to within
sight of their recent five-year
peaks, a gap Of less than two
points prevalent at last nights
close.
The rails, however, despite
sharp gains in Atchison and
Union Pacific, still were unable
to get going, chalking up an ad-
vance of about one-quarter point
in the index.

Some Bankrupt
Roads Improve
Earnings

There should be no miSgivings
as to the early future financial
integrity of virtually any railroad
which is now solvent, remarks
the Standard Statistics Company
in a current survey of railroad
reorganization and financial prob
lens.
There have been no railroad
bankruptcies so far in 1886, but
total additional mileage placed
under court jurisdiction in 1895
established a new high record,
the firm says. This included the
New Haven, milwaukee," Chi
cago and Northwestern, Cotton
Belt" Rio Grande," and Western
Pacific. according to the survey.
Railroad bonds in default in.
creased from $1,5O9, 1895, 900 at the
beginning of 1885 to $2,129,19S..
900 at the year-end, it was noted.
Standard Statistics adds:
Some Of the bankrupt roads
have improved their earnings
in the recent past, but exten-
siOns of the time for filing of
reorganization plans have been
obtained in several cases and
are being sought in others.
Early wholesale removal of re-
ceiverships is not indicated.
MANY of the roads that
might at one time have seemed
to be candidates for receiver
ship are scoring noteworthy
improvement in their financial
standing. BY and large, it ap-
pears that those companies
now able to cover fixed charges
will continue to improve their
finances and credit.
"The total of railroad bond
maturities in 1886 amounts to
about SAT- ,467 900, as compared
with $312,358,OOO in 1885.
Serious difficulties are un.
likely, however"
