but traders adopted a waiting atti-
tude to see what recommendation
would be adopted as result of the
bankers meeting. General Motors
sold down to 337. Bethlehem B to

lean to 1925, Mexican Petroleum to
'211, Crucible to PIG, U. S. Rubber to

Trading was extremely dull at the
start of the second hour. Steel COM
mon remained at 107 and the general
list was without feature except Endi-
colt Johnson which advanced three
points to lat. Stutz reacted from
1874 to 1872. Middle States oil made
a record high at 71a. Sloss Sheffield
Steel was firm at around 80
The market closed weak.
Final dealings were enlivened by
sudden burst of activity in the
sugar stocks and a squirt in American
Wooden.
Cuban Cane led the sugar group,
advancing to 81 on heavy sales. The
advance in American Wooden ap'
peared to be directed against an I'M
wieldy short interest, as stock forged
ahead sensationally to 1641z after
touching a low of 1855 in the early
afternoon.

made by his government to induce
the United States to purcase the en-
tire crop, but had met with no res
ponse. Purchase of the unsold por-
ton OF the crop would stabilize the
sugar market and be cheaper for the
American consumer, Montoro de-
clared. The Cuban government put
every effort to conclude by agreement
with the American government the
disposition of the entire output OF
Cuban sugar for the year 1920, Mon
toro cabled. For the two preceding
years this government acting through
commissioners appointed by the presi-
dent maintained stable condition OF
price and distribution.
Under express authority these COM
missioners again presented Cuba's
attitude and made formal tender OF
Cuba's entire production. These ten
ders were without response and &C
tive trading ensued. which carried the
market to its present level.
This government awaits with sim
cere interest suggestions OF American
and will lend Its best
influence to end the present era of
wide fluctuations and undesirable
situations.
Senator Smott, Utah, declared in
the senate today that there is per-
sistent propaganda to convince con-
sumers that high sugar prices are due
to beet sugar producers holding
back the crop. Denying this charge
he said, 65 percent of the 1920 beet
sugar crop is on the market.
