NEW YORK. y. Y, August THAT
sugar prices may go still higher is
the report received today from Ha.
vana by the Federal Sugar Refining
Co.
The companys agent in Cuba, II.
A. Himely, says:
About 10000 Gags Of raWs have
been sold during the last week for
as high as 5.23c f. O. b. Cuba. for sc
degree sugars. holders are very firm
in their views and are believers in a
still higher market, one argument in
favor of their opinion being that it
is generally understood the greater
part of the stock of sugar in the ports
has already been sold.
Complete figures gathered by Himc-
ly show that to date CUBA has en-
ported 2,1S7.5&l tons of sugar as
against 2,3O4,473 for the same period
Of last year.

.STAGNATION IN
SUGAR STOCKS
PUZZLES FRISCO
Cause for Depressing SeCurI-
ties Out of Uniformity With
Rest of Market Unknown

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL. AIE. H.
Plantation and sugar company issues
have been neglected by investors Tor
several months, with the result that
nearly every sucar stock listed. or
dealt in, on the Local exchange Is
selling today a. prices which OL2ht
10 prove attractive to investors "No
are familiar with the past DIVIDEND
records OF this class OF security.
1t is one OF the most puzzling IroA'
lens OF the financial district why
these sugar stocks lag in the market.
The investment impulse, so far as
they are concerned. would seem, for
the moment, 10 be dead.
To the conjecture plausible
though it he at first blush-that the
uncertainty attending the establish.
ment of the var taxes. and fixing OF
a maximum price. are the rea.
causes behind the stagnatiOn of the
sugar stock market, the answer
comes readily that ii these are the
real reasons. then they should al,
feet the petroleum issues and vari-
GUS other industrial stocks equally
with the sugar STOCKS
Such, however, is not the case. For
example, Associated OIL selling at 80
admittedly a low price for this
stCCk-returns a yield of S.33 per
cent; General Petroleum preferred,
selling 99A, returns yield of nearly
7 per cent, and General Petroleum
common, selling at par, returns a yield
of 10 per cent, while Union Oil Of
California, selling at 126, provides the
fortunate investor with a yield OF only
7.94 per cent.
According to the Figures prepared
by J. Barth & Co., California Pack
ing common is selling on a basis Of
yield Of 500 per cent, yet this com.
pany, dealing IN food products, will
assuredly be affected by war taxes
and maximum price establishment to
an equal degree with the sugar
plantations and refining companies.
California Packing preferred now
yields 6.51 per cent. and other in
dustrial enterprises CORRESPONDENCE
Admitting, and it is frankly ad-
mitted-that the income derivable
from the securities mentioned above
should prove very attractive to in
vestors, yet when these figures are
contrasted with the yield on the
sugar stocks, it becomes perfectly
plain that some unknown cause is in
operation to depress the latter issues
out Of all uniformity with the rest
Of the market.
For example, Hawaiian Commercial,
long established, well-seasoned
sugar stock, with the most enviable
record with\regard to dividends, is
selling on a basis of yield of 1852
per cent, and all the other sugars
are on a correspondingly high yield
basis.
In the following table the total di.
vidend disbursement Of 1916 is taken
as a basis for computing the yield,
together with the average price OF
the stock in July, 1911:

we do protest against is the effort
TO raise too large a sum by direct

all revert to the consumers of the ar

industry to the extent of crippling the
nation. The cost of the war should
