TECHNICALITIES HOLD
UP SUGAR ACCEPTANCES
$500, 900 Loan Only Made BY
Financing Corporation.

The Sugar Financing Corporation, or
ganized in the early part of April with
S2,000,000 capital, has drawn no accept
ances thus far, although its maximum
potentiality is the extension OF $50, 000,-
900 on acceptance credit. The reason Is
that two minor questions of an extreme
ly technical character have not been set
tied. Reports were in circulation yes
terday that the entire line Of $40, ,060, 900
in bankers acceptances had been drawn
and others that the whole scheme had
been abandoned. Neither report was
true the latter having its origin in the
drop in raw sugar to a fraction below
cents and the former being due to
direct loans extended by the Sugar FL
nancing Corporation.
Applications thus far TO the corpora
tion have aggregated In all only $780,
600. and the corporation decided to loan
100000 out OF its own capital without
the draft of an acceptance. This loan
is secured by warehouse receipts for
sugar stored in Cuba and will probably
be converted into acceptances as soon as
the technical questions are settled. The
plan is to have the bills run for ninety
days and to be accepted by the Guar
anty Trust Company, National City
Bank or Royal Bank of Canada.
According to advices from Havana the
Cuban Clearing House opened Monday
with the following members: National
City Bank. American Foreign Banking
Corporation. Mercantile Bank of Amer
icas in Cuba, Royal Bank of Canada,
Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Bank OF
Commerce, Trust Company OF Cuba,
Pedro Gomez Mena Hijo. Banco del
Commercio and N Gelats Cia.

RAW SUGAR TAKES BIG
DROP: BUYING INCREASES

Announcement was made yesterday by
the Cuban Sugar Committee that II
would sell 10000 bags Of Cubas at
3Ts cents, cost and freight New York,
of which $4,000 bags are afioat and the
balance for prompt shipment. The re-
duced price y cent below the COM
mittee's last quotation, making 4.s9
cents duty paid, brought buyers into the
market.
The price announced Is the lowest for
raw sugar with a single exception in
many months. In the early part OF the
year raw sugar touched 3lh cents a
pound. or the total offered, 10000 bags
were taken by United States refiners
and 100000 bags by operators for toll
against exports of refined sugar. French
reflners are reported to be In the mar
ket for sugar.
According to Willett & Gray the stocks
of sugar In Cuba exceed 100000 tons,
or more than 100000 tons greater than
at the same time last year.
Sugar futures declined sharply. with
May displaying the greatest weakness,
when the announcements were made.
Refined sugar prices also dropped into
now low ground. two local interests quot

DUTCH PARLIAMENT
DEBATES OIL GRANTS
Settlement of Djanabi Ques-
tion Postponed,

THE HAGUE, April 26.--Bids for oil
concessions in the Djambi region of Su-
matra were the subject of warm debate
In the second chamber Of Parliament
to-day. The debate ended in a post
ponement Of settlement of the ques-
ton. which 1t is considered here will
work In favor of the Standard Oil Com
pany, officials Of which have made an
offer to take over one-half of the oil
fields on the Dutch Governments own
terms.
Although to-day's discussion did not
centre around the American bid. the in
dications were that those who do not
favor the entire concession being given
to the Royal Dutch Company may sup
port the American bid. 1t came out In
to-day's debate. in the course of discus
sion Of article 26 of the bill before the
house, that that article was so worded
that should 1t pass in it's present form
the Royal Dutch Company would OBJ
tain not only the Djambi concession but
rights to the exploitation of all the
Netherlands Indies oil fields.
When the attention Of the Colonial
Minister was called to that fact he re-
piled that the provision complained of
was due to a mistake. Debate was i'm
mediately postponed. 1t is probable that
the Foreign Minister will attend the next
session of the Chamber at which the
oil question comes up.

in many months, when at times the out
put reached 90 per cent. Of capacity. In
February. however, operations began to
fall Off until at present they are esti-
mated to be not much more than 40 to

cline in untitled orders at the end Of
January was among the largest reported
on the present movement The lower
