Sugar Market


 New York, April Sl-The local market for raw sugar was easier under increased pressure of uncontrolled supplies, sales being reported of 10000 bags of Cuba-s for prompt clearance to a local refiner a1 f3-l6c cost and freight equal to 5.S3c for centrifugal, and 5000 Porto Ricos at the same level. The committee, how ever, did not change it's quotations from 5 cents cost and freight equal to 6.o2c for centrifugal and reported sales of 4o.0oo bags to an out port refiner at this level. Later 5000 bags of Sandomingoes were ssold at 5.Tc for centrifugal.
 The easier feeling in the spot market settled the refined situation with one refiner reducing list prices g points to the basis of 775c for fine granulated. Others remained at the Sc level. although there was no increase in the demand.
 Sugar futures were easier under selling by trade and commission houses. prompt ed by the lower ruling of the spot mar lt,et and closing prices showed losses of B to ' points. Final bids: May. 47sc; July, zS0c; September 4.94c.

DEALING LIGHTER AND CONTRACTED
 ON FOREIGN NEWS
Call Loans Opened and Re- newed Into Next Week at Six Per cent, With Seven
 at the Close
By Associated Press

New York, April S.-The stock mar Ret was extremely Iethargic and moderately heavy today. These con ditions were directly attributable to higher money rates and increasing ap- prehension in connection with the British industrial situation.
 Dealings were lighter and more con- tracted in scope than at any session in the last fortnight Total transactions of 350.000 shares consisted largely of the usual speculative issues at reces- sions of to points.
 Steels- equipments, motors and low priced rails, together with inactive spectalties were most often under pressure. High-grade rails and rep resentative oils were relatively firm until the final hour, when the entire list registered lowest prices.
 Call loans opened and renewed into next week at per cent, but before midday the paucity of offerings forced the rate to 6k per cent and before the close per cent rate ruled.
 Other forms of accommodations re- mained unchanged, although slight concessions were reported for short time loans on prime collateral Con- trary to expectation, the British labor crisis caused no visible selling of stocks for foreign account. Dutch oils ALSO were DtlLcT Ol ulOIo ISdSb advices from Holland, but all the inn portant exchange remittances were ap- preciably lower.
 Sterling bills reacted 4Ac from their maximum levels of the midweek, and French and Belgian francs registered about 10 points decline. Italian rates held at their recent high. but Scan dinavian quotations were very ir- regular.
 One significant incident of the day was the announcement by the Repub- lie Iron and Steel company of an ad- vance of not less than $2 per ton in prices of bars, plates and structural steel to meet increased cost of pro- duction.
 The entire group of Liberty bonds closed at moderate reactions. and domestic rails and industrials also eased. with Pennsylvania general 5s at the new low of S4. Total sales. par olv,a

 Hubbard Bros. New York April S-(SpeciaL) )-Liver- pool cables were about as due. but our market opened down some 10 points, dis counting disquieting strike news. Liver pools tone was steady owing to better reports from Manchester for India ac- count. The market remained very dull throughout the entire morning with very little outside business. interest at the moment being entirely centered on the coal strike situation. and the trade gen erally is content to await developments.
 An extremely good feature in our mar
 ket is that 1t has proven itself strong in it's ability to- throw off the unsettled and bearish news that comes daily from abroad. Reports reaching us from the south still indicate that the farmer is serious in his intention to curtail the use of fertilizer and decrease his acre. age in the growing of the coming crop. We feel that on the slightest indication of good news our market will be affect ed favorably. ly.-Hubbard Bros. q O.

19p1, the chief Of the militia bureau
said today in his annual report to the
Secretary of War.
Army officers on duty with the
National Guard were urged to make
every endeavor to gain the sympa-
thetic cooperation of ex-service men;
their interest. experience and training
are valuable assets which should not
be disregarded."
The National Guard on June 80.
1920, had a total strength Of 56,106
men, and on June 80. 1921, strength
of 1898, an increase In active per-
sonnel during the year OF 1923 per

Encouragement Of the commercial
