Sugar Prices Drop

Justification for recent selling Of
sugar stocks on the theory that prices
for this commodity were due for re
duction was seen yesterday in the an
nouncement of the Cuban selling COM
mission of revised price list of 37s
cents pound cost and freight for
Cuban raws. The commission sold
10000 tons to Europe on this basis.
This is a reductiowof IS cents from
its high price of few weeks ago and
is made necessary by the lack of inter
est shown in offerings recently by re-
timers. The new price is only Is of a
cent above the low level established
early in the year just before the sell
ing commission was formed. Leading
retiners also announced price reduc-
tions. the Federal leading with drop
to Ga cents pound. less 2 per cent
for cash, virtually reesta blishing the
low price Of the season

Steel Stocks Lead Market

The Street was mystifed yesterday
over the way the steel stocks advanced,
particularly after perusal Of the Steel
Corporations statement for the March
quarter, showing the common dividend
earned with only a small margin The
worst feature of the report, however,
was the small March earnings. which
were down to the lowest point for any
month since April, 1915. Yet Steel
closed the day at S5, right at the top,
while the Independent steels were still
stronger. Bethlehem Steel "B,' at
619s, was up AZ points, and Republic
showed a net gain of 3h at 657s
Lackawanna and Crucble also showed
the effect Of urgent buying. Bethlehem
Steel directors meet tomorrow, but
there was no inkling yesterday Of pos
siblo action that might account for the
strength in the stock.

Sugar Credit Working

Reports that the $2o,oO0,OOO Cuban
sugar credit arrangement sponsored by
leading Cuban sugar companies and a
group of New York banks had fallen
through because of complications met
with a prompt denial by the parties in
terested. 1t was asserted that to date
acceptances to an amount of approx
mately 100000 have been drawn for
the account of Cuban producers and
that further loans were under nego-
tiation. Advices received in local
sugar trade circles yesterday said that
fifteen centrals had closed down this
week and that others would probably
follow suit because of lack of storage
facilities. A private cable to a leading
sugar firm reported that the Cuban
Railroad was about to cease operations
for reasons not stated. The cable was
not confirmed, but it occasioned some
uneasness. as approximately one
quarter of the sugar plantations on
the island are served by this system.

BUYING STOCKS

If you are thinking of buying oil
stock, or any other get-rick-suddenly
shares, read over the following state
ment made this month by the Wig
lance Committee of the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World:
ut has been calculated that the
odds against the oil Spectator are
about five hundred to one. There is
no means OF knowing whether or
not this estimate is correct, but it is
certain that the odds against making
any money by Investing in the thou
sand and one oil promotions which
are advertised so widely, are at least
that large and probably larger.
Some idea of the odds against
the Spectator may be gathered when
it is considered that the entire pro-
duction of oil for one year, nine
tenths of which is owned by the COM
paratively few we'll established and
well known oil companies, would
barely suffice to pay an extremely
small dividend on the stock Of the
companies organized during that
year, assuming that it could be de-
voted to such payments without pro-
vision for extension and development
This would leave the Standard Oil
companies, Texas, Sinclair, Cosden
etc, without any oil to reimburse
their stockholders. Neither does il
take into consideration a great horde
of miscellaneous wild cats previous
ly organized.

MIR. ADVERTISER, WILL YOU
TAKE YOUR SIGNS DOWN?
(By the Natural Parks Associate

(By the Natural Parks Association
of Washington
Public Indifference, and ignorance
of the law, are doubtless responsible
for the fact that the trees and fences
and stumps along and in the right of
way of our highways are so liberal
! ly besprinkled with advertising mat
ter. Placing such matter on private
property without permission of the
owner, and in the right of way with
out permission of county or state
authorities, is a misdemeanor. The
advertiser is either thoughtless or
ignorant, or he is deliberately violat-
ing the law.
In the belief that thoughtlessness
and ignorance explain most of the
ads, the Natural Parks Association
of Washington is addressing to a
number of offenders simple request
that they remove their advertising
and refrain from placing any more
of it in violation of the law.
| Mr.. Advertiser.--youh have doubt
less overlooked this fact, that the
whole state of Washington is in the
business of marketing it's landscape,
the one commodity that can be sold
over and over again without impair
ment. Your signs do not help that
business.
| Meanwhile, o Automobiles, carry
claw hammer in your car and get
into the habit of removing from trees
and stumps, some of the poster re-
minders of the campaign of 1920, and
the miscellaneous matter that makes
our highways unsightly. Every little
bit will help.

Soviets Fail To
 Conclude German Trade Agreement
IRepubllean A. P. Leased WireJ

BERLIN. Dec. 29-The official Russian soviet trade commission has notified German firms with which it has been dealing here that it is un- able to conclude pending agreements It says it is hampered in the execu- tion Of its contracts by difficulty In securing permission for it's repre- sentatives to enter Germany and by lack of office space in Berlin.
 The commission which has a mon- opoly on German trade, has at pres ent a personnel of $40 office rooms The Tageblatt, commenting on the complaint, charges the trouble is due to "Prussian bureaucracy, the psy- chology of which can easily be seen, Is the fear of bolshevism which has sought last resort in the bureaus of officialdom''
 The Tagetblatt adds that with all the safeguards in the hands of the authorities. the police can easily con trol Russian radical activities. It charges that the Prussian minister of the interior is going out of his way to hamper the Russian representa- Ives and argues the necessity of the soviet commission in increasing its staff. in order to be able to handle the increasing business upon which 1cI IHidiy must count TOT rIlucn OI ueF future commercial advantages.
 It Is reported in well informed quarters that negotiations are under way for the establishment of a Rus sian credit fund here of one billion marks to be guaranteed by Russian treasury notes which will not be put in circulation.
 To this proposad Die Zeitung sug- gests the possibility that the ar rangement will lead to the recon struction of Russia, with German reparation bonds.
 It hes been announced that the Deutsche Bank, the Berlin chamber of commerce, the Dresdner bank and Warburg bank house having been named as correspondents Of the Russian state bank and that com n1ercial telegraphic connection are available to all parts of Russia

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-Sir Horace
 Plunkett, arriving yesterday for a pe-
 riod of quiet in the west, predicted
 that the Irish peace treaty would be
 ratified and that Ulster would join in formation of the Irish free state.
 Asked how he knew the treaty would te ratified, he replied:
 Because even if the Dali cannot, on account of the pledges of it's mem
 another form of government, it will
 have to consult the people and they will be for the treaty. The terms of the treaty are sub stantially those I have advocated for two and a half years, so I am natur- ally happy about them. So also should Irishmen and friends of Ire land in America feel. Tn so far as the Irish question is the old conflict between Britain and Ireland, I believe it to be buried. Of course there will remain many Irish questions which will take long time to settle. Tn this respect we are in | the same position as every other civ1-
 lized people.
