ships, large enough to contain the popu

been moorel to a dock at Holoken oppo
site New York city, since the govern

of steamship activities have been in
clined to think that the government will
find the Leviathan an elephant on its
hands. The government ia going to learn
whether' that he true or not and it is
willing to spend some 18,000.000 In mak
ing the discovery. In a little while the
Leviathan will swing away from her

furnishing the steampower. Not until
March 1 of next year will this giantess
of tha ae be ready for her first ocean
voyage since the outbreak of the war and
as many as 2.000 skilled artisans will be
employed In making the needed repairs.

parted a generally steady or firm tone
to prices. There was soma scattered re

monihs aold 1 to 4 points above last
night's closing quotations.
May advanced to 8.72c, making a re
covery of 30 points from the low level
of Wednesday. The official cables show
ed continued firmness in the primary
markets which private sdvlces attributed
to renewed tuying by government inter

New Tork, March 4 The tone was
barely steady with week-end evening up
in the cotton market today. The gen
eral tendency was toward a somewhat
lower level, due to the Influence of pro
fessional selling and the lack of new
demand. Buying from spot houses and
local shorts was hardly enough to ob
sorb offerings. The list sold T to 10
points off early In the short session. In
creased selling from weak-kneed longs
waa met in the last hour and the mar
ket dropped to new low levels for the
aesslen, 10 to 23 points off. Business
waa a. bit more active on the way down.

Smaller Number of Failure.
Following precedent, business fallurea
decreased In number during Ihe ehort
month of February. After defaults had
risen to tho highest point In euveral years
In January, with a total of z,in, there
came a 14 per cent reduction last month,
when 2.3J1 Insolvencies w-ere reported.
Kven with this Improvement, however, the
February fallurea are tho largest In num
ber, excepting thoao of January and lent
December, of any month since the begin
ning of 1916, and the liabilities coii'lnue
much above the average. Thus, the Feb
ruary indebtednesa of S72.6O0.O00 is only
about Sl.oou.ouo less than that of Jan
uary, despite the fact that there were
nearly 400 fewer defaults last month, and
last December marked the only other
month in which so heavy an amount has
been Involved by the commercial Insolvencies.-
An unusual number of broker
age failures featured the February eta'is
tics, and the defaults for 3100,000 or more
in each Instance which occurred In dif
ferent lines of business supplied nearly 65
per cent of the aggrogate liabilities for
the month.
Nteel Trade (lain Continue.
February closed with encouraging gains
recorded in Iron and steel circles, and a
new month has opened with the promise
of continued improvement. The Industry
as a whole, is now producing ateel at
about a 66 per cent rate, with the lead
ing interest operating at 60 to 65 per cent
and Indications multiply that consumers'
needs are pressing. Most of the recent
buying, however, has been for replenish
ment of depleted stocks, there being little
forward contracting, and fresh price
weakness has developed. With stable
prices, business would probably be of
larger volume, as numerous orders are
being deferred pending more settled con
ditions. Yet purchasing by the railroads
is again a conspicuous feature, one system
taking 20,000 tons of rails, and automobile
concerns and agricultural implement
manufacturers are more actively In the
markets for supplies.
Farm Implement Outlook.
Reports on farm Implement trade con
ditions are similar in tenor to those that
have come from many different branches
of business during the last year or more.
A special survey of the situation made
through correspondents of Dun's Review
shows clearly that agricultural lmple- j
ments, ltke most other products,' have
been in restricted movement, and that
prices have declined appreciably. The
curtailed purchasing power In rural sec
tions has affected this line adversely,
limiting buying of new equipment, and
the volume of sales has been consider
ably below the average. With a number
of constructive factors developing, How
ever, the outlook for the current year is
more promising. One of the most impor
tant features in tnis connection nas oeen
the recent sharp rise in grain prices,
whjch has strengthened the position of
farmers, and Indications point to an in
creased demand for Implements and ma
chinery In the future.
-'Dry Good Demand Broadens.
The near approach of spring is having
a stimulating effect upon dry goods busi
ness. Demand for wash fabrics and
lightweight garments has broadened, and
western buying, although still restricted,
is becoming more, confident. The more
satisfactory prices on farm products have
tended to improve the tone of trade In
rural communities, while more encourag
ing reports also come from mining and
lumbering sections. Purchases by both
wholesalers and retailers, however, con
tinue conservative, with operations us
ually limited to deliveries within 90 days,
and resistance to price advances is mark
ed in all quarters. Labor troubles in New
England, affecting production consider
ably, remain an adverse factor.
Hides Quiet.
Gains in some Important branches of
business are not being duplicated in the
hide trade and allied lines. Dullness
in hidea has continued for many weeks,
sizable operation occurring Infrequently,
and prices are down about 2c from the
previous top level. With shoe manufac
turers and other buyers of leather limit
ing commitments close to actual needs,
tanners are taking raw material sparingly,
and holidays In South American markets
this week tended to further restrict de
mand there. Despite curtailed produc
tion, stocks of leather are still accumu
lating, while a slow retail distribution
of footwear last month brought lower
prices In many instances. Factories mak
ing novelty shoes are busy on Easter
orders, however, and there is expectation
of improvement in general conditions as
the season advances.
Failures This Week
A considerable Increase is shown !n
the number of failures this week In the
United States aa compared with those of
last week, according to the reports re-,
celved by K. G. Dun & Co. Last week
contained but five business days which
partially accounts for the wide spread
with this week number of insolvencies.
This week shows a total of 629 insol
vencies as compared with 478 defaults
of last week and 311 fallurea for the cor
responding week a year ago. More fail
ures are shown In this week in each of
the four sections of the country.
Of thi3 week's total number of fail
ures 598 had liabilities of $5.00 or more
in each instance, which is equivalent to
63.3 per centf of the total number. Last
week there were 339 similar insolvencies
and the ratio was 70.9 per cent, while
during the ame period last year the de
faults with liabllitlea of S5.000 or more
numbered 169 which was 64.3 per cent,
of the total number.
Aa Increase la also shown In the Cana
dian failures this week over those of a
week ago. In Canada, both week had
the fuil number of businesa days. This
week there are 99 failures, while last
week, 89 were reported and during the
same period in 1921 only 31 Insolvencies
were shown. Those with liabilities of
35.000 or more number 46. white last
week there were 36 similar default.

in prices for investment bond and
an advance in the stock market,
varied by occasional downward
movements hut nevertheless con
stantly resumed will increasingly
active trading.
The reaction in the foreign ex
change and grain markets. was neith
er illogical nor unexpected. It was
hardly nccassary to bring tip Uoyd
ficorgc's threatened resignation or
the better growing weather in the
winter wheat htjt to explain them,
for the very extraordinary rise in
the last two months, amounting to
27 cents in sterling and to 42 cents
in wheat, had created a speculative
following whose realizing sales were
bound to reverse the movement tem
porarily. Ilond Market Marvel.
In some respect the bond market re
ma ins the marvel of tho financial situ
ation, though It Is alwaya to be remem
bered that even the great advance In
price which ha occurred since June.
1921. has not brought the average of
domestic bonda to tho level even of arml
atlce week and that prices for high
grado foreign loan have scarcely yet
been adjusted to the fall In the general
cost of money. The stock market, the un
doubted underlying strength of which ia
plainly visible notwithstanding all the at
tempts at forced and artificial rnsnipula-
tlon by the restless "pools" and "syndi
cates." has Its basis In tne general sense
that business Is slowly but ateadlly Im
proving. There have been many puzzled 'tn
nulrles as to how a Btock market could
reasonably advance with two such Influ
ences agninst It, aa the long list of Wall
street broker failures and the congres
sional performance on the soldiers' bo
nus. Tho answer is not difficult to find
for those who know the facts. The series
of proposals by Mr. Fordney and his com
mittee colleagues to upset the public fi
nances because of a threat that the sol
diers' vote would he cast against them in
November, have thus far defeated there
selves by the farcical character of the
committee's successive recommendations.
Little Fear of linnus.
Last week's plan, through forced dis
counting of government paper distributed
in some billions of dollars to the sol
diers to drive the banks and the federal
reserve bank to tho swollen outstanding
credits of 1919. is expected by cool-headed
financial observer to follow, tho rest
of the amazing suggestions of this same
committee. With the administration's
policy defined, there is little serious be
lief on the market that bonus legisla
tion can possibly find Its way Into tho
statute honks.
The Wall street failures make up a
very singular episode. On most occa
sions In the pant, suspension of 25 or 30
houses almost within a month would cer
tainly mean financial trouble. Therefore,
the first unusual fact about the matter
Is the composure with which -the an
nouncements were received in l.a.iking
and financial circles. Wits r.i large a
number of defaults, there have undoubt
edly been different causes. But it is
generally known that at least the bulk
of these suspensions represented collapse
of Illegitimate enterprises not organized
on the basis of buying or selling securi
ties on commission for the customers,
but of taking the customers' purchase
money, usually In partial payments, un
der the pretense of executing his order,
and then not executing it. trusting that
an opposite movement In the stock mar
ket would enable the broker to obtain
the stocks for less than the price paid
the customer.

W'athiiiKloit, March 5. Proposal
that congress create a Muscle Shoals
commission to adjust legal difficul
ties involved in disposition of the
government's war-built properties in
Alabama and to direct sale or lease
of the projects to private interests,
was made by Chairman Kahn
of the house military affairs com
mittee, but failed to receive the sup
port of minority members of the
committee which has pending be
lore it the three otters for the prop
erties received by the government.
Representative Fields. Kentucky,
ranking minority committeeman, de
dared with respect to the proposal
that congress itself would have to
decide, upon a plan to develop Muscle
Mioals, and it was no problem to be
solved by a group of cabinet officers
as representatives of the executive
branch of the government.
In announcing his proposal for the
commission in the form of a state'
ment, Chairman Kahn took pains to
have it understood that he spoke
only for himself, acting as an in
dividual, rather than as committee
chairman. He said he believed, after
a three weeks careful investigation
of the offers made by Henry J-ord
the' Alabama rower company and
Frederick E. Engstrum of Wilming
ton, N. C for the completion, opera
tion, lease and purchase of the shoals
projects, that the suggested com
mission offered the logical and prob
ably only practical way of reaching
a proper decision on the question.
Field explained also that he had
expressed his attitude on the com
mission suggestion in a personal way
and not as a member of the military
body.

Nine Indoor
Track Records
Fall at Meet
Osborne Wins the All-Aronnd
Championship at Illinois
Relay Carnival.
Illinois Armory, Champaign, III.,
March 5. Nine University of Illinois
relay carnival records fell last night
in a spectacular indoor track and
field meet, which brought together
the class of middle western univer
sities. Four of the new records were in
relay races, the University of Penn
sylvania invading the west to capture
the two-mile event, while the other
three races were distributed between
Illinois, Iowa and Ames.
H. M. Osborne of Illinois won the
all-around championship with a new
high total of 5.454 points, after win
ning first place in four of. the seven
events and tying a fifth. Brutus
Hamilton, the Olympic star from
Missouri, was second, with 5,120
points.
The mile and four-mile relays were
the bright spots of the evening,
Coach Gill's Illinois runners winning
the longer race and losing by a close
margin to Iowa State university in
the mile event. Both races resulted
in new records, the Iowans clipping
1 2-5 seconds from the old mark of
3 minutes, 29 seconds, and Illinois
bettering their own four-mile record
of 18 minutes, 35 4-5 seconds by
18 4-5 seconds.
Pyott of Chicago took the lead in
the mile relay, but gave way to
Schlaprizzi of Illinois and Morrow of
Iowa, who passed the fight on to
their successors, Wilson beating out
Fessenden five yards from the finish.
In the four-mile event, for which the
Mike Mason trophy was presented,
Yates took the lead Tor Illinois, but
McGintys dropped the baton in the
second lap and Patterson had hard
work to regain the lead. Wharton,
however, stepped out and distanced
the field for a new record of 18
