RAW SUGAR MARKET QUIET

NEW YORK. November 2o.-The
local market for raw sugar was quiet
today. but the undertone was still un-
settled and offerings were quite lib
eral, while there appeared to be NJ
demand and no fresh business was
reported. Prices were unchanged
with Cubas offered at AZ cents. costs
and freight. equal to 5.7S for CEN
trifugal.
The market far refined was un-
changed, at 900 to $50 for fine gran
ulated. with little inquiry reported
One of the largest refiners an
nounced that its six plants had been
shut down fer the balance of the year
for the usual annual cleanup, but
that it had ample supplies of sugar on
hand to meet the requirements OF
buyers.
There was another decline in sugar
futures owing to the unsettled con-
dition Of the spot market and the
poor demand for refined. with prices
selling at the lowest levels thus far
recorded this season. Wall street and
commission houses sold quite freely.
but rear the close there was a slight
rally on covering and final prices
were 20 to % points net lower.

SMASHING OF PRICES
IN GRAIN PIT KEPT UP
December Wheat Drops t
$1.6o Ia; March, $1.57 IA,
{ in Chicago Market,

CHICAGO, November 20. - The
smashing tendencies which have pre-
vailed in the grain pits of the Chi
cago board Of trade of late continued
today. AT one point December wheat
sold down to $1.66k a bushel and
March wheat at $1.67A. Observers
compared these prices with the $2.75 a
bushel for December and $2.76 for
March, which, prevailed when trading
in futures was resumed after the war
recess oR>July Is.
The declines OF from about .$1.l0 to
nearly $1.19 a bushel in a little more
than four months have been ascfibed
20 various causes.
One authority today, traced . con-
nection between the market break
and the strike" of farmers who with
held wheat from the market in an at
tempt to force higher prices. It was
said that this strike was followed BY
an unexpected retalatory strike on
the part of wheat consumers. the bot
tom dropping out of the cash grain
market and carrying the futures hg-
ures with it.
Another explanation Of the big
breaks in corn and wheat had 1t that
tho few factors in existence which
might be expected to raise prices had
become lost in the weakness OF the
trading situation generally. not only
in grains, but in commodities and
manufactured goods.

CoTroNsEED OIL DROPS.

NEW YORK. November 20.-Freer
offerings of seed and crude, staxna-
ton in spot circles and pronounced
weakness displayed in practically all
commodity markets brought about
general liquidation in cottonseed oil
today. Shorts were the only buyers.
Closing bids showed net losses Of rs

tenders, 600 barrels. Prime crude,

LiQaidatiea Not Completed.

The process Of liquidation has ap-
parenuy not been completed, and a
prudent regard for the safety and
strength Of our banking system
makes necessary the continuation Of
those policies which have proved
effective.
1t must be recognized. of course,
that . general reduction in commod-
ity prices cannot be effected without
hardship to many elements Of the
business community. 1t is not alone

adversely affected by price recessions

of these stocks while in their posses
sion When prices are rising, profits
are. In part. the result OF appreciation
in the values of such holdings. and.
conversely. in q period Of declining
values the risk of monetary loss Is
incurred. In a period of rising prices
the credit demands are progressive
and tend. IL met. to stimulate further
price advances. Experience shows
that fluctuations in general prices
move in cycles. During a protracted
upward movement banks must be
prepared for the anticipated reversal
Accordingly, the banks must nec-
essarily exercise restraint upon the
expanding volume of credit when II
threatens to exceed the limits oi
safety. In the very nature Of the
case, moreover. 1t is not the function
of the banking system TO endeavol
10 prevent a recession of prices which
the state of production and consump'
tion requires.
