Dividend action by directors of the
Cuban-American Sugar Company and
the National Sugar Refining Company
did not come as q surprise to the mar
ket. Cuban-American common had sold
on a non-d dividend basis for several
weeks, and the omission of the quarter
ly disbursement was generally eX-
pected. A cut in Nationals rate from
10 to per cent was considered, in line
with the action of other sugar com
panies suffering from the depression
in the industry. But the declaration
by directors of the New York Air
Brake Company of a scrip dividend of
IA per cent was unexpected by all ex-
cept those who have kept in touch
with the WATERFOWL company's affairs,
as was indicated by the five point drop
in the stock The plant there is Writ
ually closed, and equipment business
as a whole depends more upon hopes
than upon actual orders, so that the
Air Brake outlook is none too promis-
ing. At 471a the stock shows a de.
cline of 4112 points from the high OF
the year. Cuban-American Sugar com :
mon at a new low for the year of 12%
showed a loss OF 215s points from the
wears high mark.

German exchange recovered strongly
here yesterday as a result Of the re-
moval of selling pressure abroad.
Perhaps the closing Of the Berlin
hoerse, preventing operations in that
quarter, was of some help. At any
rate the mark rallied to 1.19 12 cents, \
rise of points over Tuesdays clos
ing rate.
Cable rates on Loondon were II of a
cent higher, and changes Throughout
the European list were small.
Far Eastern and South American

Rerlin's Big Bull Market

Advices received in banking circles
here yesterday that the tremendous
volume of business transacted on the
Berlin bourse in the last Jew days had
necessitated temporary closing to en-
able members to settle a:counts,. re-
called the days of the bull market here
in 1919, when the stock exchange re-
manned closed more thaa once on
Saturday to pc it bookkeepers to
catch up. A great bull market has
been in progress in Berlin for several
weeks, being based primarily on the
rapid recovery of Germany's industry
but being augmented by the cheapness
Of money. The steady increase in the
amount Of Germany's paper currency
has served not only 80 depress the
mark in foreign exchange, but also to
increase speculation throughout the
former Kaiser's domain. Bankers pre-
dictions that the bubble is expanding
only to burst have gone UNDECIDED, and
certain end is awaited with interest on
both sides of the Atlantic.

A sharp rally in German marks yes

that the German government had COM

serted that this was not the case, but
that the German government was seek

these efforts had not been successful.

Oil Premiums Have Returned

Throughout the mid-continent fields
and the Gulf Coast, the more desr-
able grades of crude oil are again
drawing prices above the posted figures.
1t is this condition, according to The
Oil Weekly, that has given rise to pre-
dictions that crude oil in those fields
will in the near future see price in
creases. "Whether the situation war
rants price advances or not" the pub
lication adds, "it is none the less true
that at present some producers are
drawing premiums as high as 80 cents
per barrel. This coming OF the
premium has developed within the last
thirty days. The return Of scores OF
small rctineries to the active list is
no doubt respon BILE for the present

Announcement of reductions in the
price of Hudson, Essex and King auto
mobiles yesterday, following closely
UPON slashes made by Pierce Arrow
and others, was regarded by many as
the opening gun in price cut war in
the motor industry, although group
of traders which has insisted that the
automotive trade as a whole has turned
the corner is reluctant to believe
fresh wave of price revisions is TO be
expected. IN this quarter the recent
announcements have been termed con-
tinuations of the previous readjust-
ment, yet the cut in Hudsons is the
third in ten months and places this
car at the lowest price it has ever sold.
The stock market failed to reflect mar
ket opinion of the outlook, although
Chandler was under pressure in the
forenoon and General Motors sold at Il
new low for the movement and within
fraction of the years lowest level.
The general upturn erased these de-
clines, however
