Stock Prices
Drop Slightly
I'm Dull Trade
Call Money Rates Decline
to & p. c., but Fail
TO Help; Commodities
Show S harp Recession

After the squirt last Friday on the
conveyance Of at least three groups
OF good news, tho stock market has
returned to the ways Of the lethargic.
AS on Monday, activity was repressed
yesterday, and tho small volume of
trading represented little moro than
the sales and purchases OF professional
spectators in quest of narrow profits.
In both railroad and industrial
stocks there were moderate average
losses for the day, despite the fact
that rates on call money declined to
6 per cent. Moreover, cotton prices
declined from 27 to 40 points and grain
prices slumped markedly.
In Chicago July wheat contracts
were quoted at S1.02, new low level
for the season, and May closed only
enc cent above the most depressed
price thus far in 1921. Grain specu-
lators have been timid and afraid for
weeks. Fear Of adverse legislation
regulating grain exchanges is proba-
bly, accentuating the downward move
ment, due to moro relevant economic
causes. Reports from Washington
that some opposition to the emergency
tariff bill had developed also encour-
aged selling.
In the stock market irrcgularity,
rather than declines all the way, pre-
vailed. In the morning the speculative
appetite for oil stocks continued fairly
avid, but there was little but dullness
at every post. The steels and the sugars
were targets of spectators bent on
bringing prices down.
Foreign exchange rates were easier,
too, but changes were slight. French
and Belgian francs and lire were un-
der pressure most Of the day, but ster-
ling closed Il Of a cent higher. Rates
on Brazil and Chile moved higher, but
the squirt in quotations on the Far East
was checked.

Sugar Stocks Sell on

Another cut Of quarter Of cent
fined sugar was used as an argument
by the bear contingent for selling the
sugar shares. American Sugar got
down to s7A. off 2% net from Mon
days close, although it is understood
that directors at the next dividend
meeting will maintain the per cent
rate on the stock The board, it is
understood, will meet late this month.
Cuba Cane preferred made new low
for this year at 571a, which was only
31a points above the low Of last De-
cember. 1t is stated that great deal
Of selling Of this stock has come from

the Cuban financial situation.

Steel Operations Gain
Youngstown Mills Show l8P.C.
Jump in Two Weeks

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, April 19.-OD-
eratlons OF steel mills in the Youngs-
town district will be slightly over 40
Ier cent by tomorrow morning. ac-
cording to announcement Of resumn-
tlons made at mill offices to-day. This
represents gain of about 10 per cent
over the schedule begun yesterday
morning, which in turn was 8 per cent
higher than that of the preceding week.
Chief features in the gains announced
to-day were the resumption of Besse-
mer plants at the Republic Iron and
Steel Company and the Youngstown
Sheet and Tube Company, and opera
tion by the Brier Hill Steel Company
OF its big 132-inch plate mill, idle for

In Wall Street
Baldwin and sLocs~ Heavy

Tho selling yesterday in Baldwin and
American Locomotive was said to have
come largely from quarters where 1t Is
believed that the present unprecedent-
ed surplus Of idle freight cars will
affect tho buying power Of tho rail-
roads for considerable time to come.
So long as they have a surplus Of
equipment, 1t was argued, the carriers
will hesitate before buying new cars
and locom olives. American Car and
Foundry, however, which would natural
ly feel the existing freight car situa-
ton more than Baldwin or American
Locomotive, was up over point at
the close. Equipment company Off
cials admit that, with much Of the
railroad repair work now completed,
some Of their plants may have to close
down in the near future unless the
situation changes materially in the
near future.

New Bank Opens doors

The new International \ Acceptan e
Bank, Inc, opened for business yes
terday at 81 Pine Street. Paul M.
Warburg, chairman of the board Of
the new institution, talking of the aims
OF the bank, said: "If efforts to reach
reasonable understanding in Euro
pean affairs fail uncertainty will coal-
tlnue and the development of interna-
tional acceptance banking will be slow,
as, indeed, general business would
probably remain depressed. If g rea-
sonable settlement should be brought
about a gradual revival of trade could
be expected, and in that case Am erica
would have to play leading part.
With gold flowing our way, having re-
suited IN an unprecedented accuh ula-
ton OF gold in our country. and With
Reserve system, it would them be
plainly up to the United States not to
hoard its vast banking strength, but
to make it available for other coun-
tries for the purpose OF once more
starting the wheels OF commerce 60
ing. America having become the gold
pivot of the world, countries with
strongly fuctuating exchanges. in or
der to do world trade, would have
to lean heavily upon American short
term credits, such as the International
Acceptance Bank, Inc, would have to
offer. American banks in granting
these credit could we'll take upon
their shoulders burden amounting
to billion dollars or more, and to
that extent relieve Europe. This
would be one of the many measures
that the United States would have to
take in order to bridge the gap now
existing between the dollar and other
currencies. but on very comprehen-
sive scale it could safely be under
taken only when political and eco
ncIaic peace would have been regstab-
lished in Europe"

Atlantic Gulf & West indies

The Street is practically reconciled
to the belief that Atlantic. Gulf &
West Indies directors, when they
meet to discuss the question Of pay
ing dividend on the preferred stock
on April % will again defer action. At
the meeting on February "a payment
Of the IL per cent due at that time
was postponed for sixty days in view
of the difficulties the company was
having in securing new funds. This
problem has not yet been solved. al
though the outlook has Improved SO
far as the company's Mexican oil pro-
duction is concerned. This was
pointed out in a recent letter to stock
holders issued in advance Of the an
nual meeting to be held on April 26

Tobacco Products

Directors of the Tobacco Products
Cooperation are scheduled to meet
shortly. for dividend action. 1t was
pointed out yesterday that it has al
ways been the policy of the manage
ment to pay dividend when earned
during the first three months Of 1921
business exceeded that of the CORE
spending period year ago and profits
We're also larger. The company has
been paying dividends in scrip CON
vertiblc into cash at the end Of two
years and bearing per cent interest.
New-York tribune., 1921-04-20

The announcement yesterday that the
Tidewater Oil Company has brought
in we'll on its Mexican properties
flowing 10000 barrels a day attracted
much attention in the Street in view Of
the bearish reports afioat regarding
the status Of the Mexican fields. The
new we'll started flowing at rate
of 10000 barrels at a depth of 1855
feet and increased tc its present rate
when drilled to 2,26S feet. The COM
pany has already connected the we'll

been started slightly west of the loca-
tion Of the new gusher.
