Washington, Special.-r-That the supply of ncw8-prmi~{)qper in the American mills has been still further depleted since March 30, so that on April 30 th6ro was less than five days' supply on hand, is the.purport oi 8. Statement made public by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corpor ations. The last statement, was of April, showed hut 19,907 tons on hand; since then there has been a decrease of 1,847 tons. The decrease since April 30, 1909, has been more than 18,009 tons. The nojrmai con sumption per day is said to i>e about 4,000 tons; the production capacity about 4,125. Decline in Production. "Statistics of news-print paper for April, 1910, as compiled by the American Paper and Pulp Associa tion, and died with the commissioner of corporations, show a sharp decline in production and a further drain upon stocks. The total supply on hand on April 30, 1919, was only 18, C00 tons, a reduction of 1,847 tons pince April 1. On April 30,1909, the stocks were 36,133 tons. Stocks have been steadily decreasing ever since the end of last August, when they exceeded 53,000 tons, As late as January 1, 1910, they were in excess of 2}>,000 tons. This continued de crease has, as is well known, been ac-7 companied by u considerable increase in price. "This reduction in stocks is the mot'? significant in view of the fact that during the period front Janu ary l'to April 30, 1900, there was an increase from 20j376-tona- to 36, 133 tons, or of over 15,700 tons, as compared with a decrease .of over 8.500 tons for the corresponding'four liMiui'wi r i0iq, _ Large Mills. "This redueflon in stocks is chiefly duo to the reduction in output, which fell from 84,219 tons in March, 1910, to 80,489 tonB in Apjil, a net dc clino of 3,730 tons. In April, 1909. the production was 89,478?The statistics for 1910 show a decrease in production in April as compared with January of 4,058 tons, whereas, the same comparison in 1909 shows an increase of over 7,700 tons.1 The 'normal' output for the month of April, 1910, as computed by^ the as sociation, it may be noted, is 90,538 tons; the actual output, therefore, was only 83 per cent of this normal. The decrease is chiefly attributed to a strike in some of th$ large mills; the production at the end of May is said to be close to normal. "The month's shipments were 83, 336 tons, or 1,847 tons more than the {uoduction. The shipments were, lowevcr, only 85 per cent of thif es timated 'normal' for tho month, and are considerably less than those for preceding months of the current year which have ranged between 86,200 ton^ and 87,500 tons, ? A Harrow Margin. ? ? ' "In this general connection, it if really remarkable to note upon how narrow a margin of iupply this in dustry operates. The average stockr held by manufacturers in the past one and onc-haJf years would not exceed at best .'three weeks' consumption, while the manufacturers' stocks on April 30, 1910, would not givarimore than a week's supply. This situa tion necessarily tends toward exeea airo fluctuations in price." fraudulent Bankruptcies on Wane _ Kew York, Special.?Fraudulent bankruptcies in the dry goods trade which in past years have caused Iosscf of many hundreds of thousands of dollars annually ? to reputablt mcr chants, are now on the wane, accord ing to reports gathered by the Mer-j chants' Protective Association, whieh has hren conducting a campaign against get-rich-quick failures and crooked bankruptcies generally.

But the horae died. Then the lm? porter was threatened with forfeiture of the bond.

Under theao clr/ *m stances the Importer appealed to Rep resentative Smith, and he in turn ap pealed to tho Ways and Means Com mittee, with the result that a bill appropriating $1000, to be paid to the customs authorities In lieu of the bond of Mr. Smith's constituent, was ordered favorably reported. * ? ? The approval by both the Senato and the House of tho Navy Depart ment's plans (or enlarging tho dry docks at Brooklyn, Norfolk, Bremer ton and Pearl Harbor Battleship practically establishes a Limits, limit for the size of bat tleships. This limitation will be approximately 750 feet length, 100 feet beam and thirty feet draft. It Is assumed that 30,000?ton ships will be built In the not distant future, but It Is expected that that size will hardly be exceeded. The new dry docks will have a beam of 110 feet, as will also the locks of the Panama Canal. The latter are 1000 feet long, but the extreme limit of the dry docks Is 750-odd feet. Of course, there are even now?compara tively few harbors with a depth ot thirty feet, and practically none, ex cept Puget Sound, with a greater depth. ? ? ? - Representative Dodds, of Michigan, had passed a bifl designed to restore to tne publications of fraternal or ders, trades unions, etc., the- secoml .

Senator Lodge secured the passage of the Re4 Cross bill which was in troduced in the House by Represen tative Denby and has been stanchly advocated by Miss Mabel Red Gross Boardman.

The bill further provides that the endowment fund of the R?d Cross shall be kept and in vested under the management and control of a board of nine trustees, who. shall he elected from time t? time by the incorporators or their .successors, etc. It Is expected that , this legislation will serve to prevent a number of frfeuds which have been perpetrated through the. unauthor-. iced solicitation of funds for the Red Cross, and that it will further, serve to prevent the continued advertising [ ot all sorts of Rtei Cross articles and nostrums which have no right to the indorsement the use of the emblem implies. ? ? ?
