Sugar Commission Opposed

Announcement yesterday Of complete
figures for Cuba's 1920-'21 sugar crop,
showing an increase over last years
total, was followed by definite evidence
of movement to have President Zayas
remove the sugar commission which
has controlled sales of Cuban supplies
since early in the year. The figures
revealed that this years crop was less
than $4,000 tons below the 1000, ,000-
ton mark and more than 100000 tons
above last year, amounting to 3.935,43
tons. This was closely in line with
optimistic early estimates and far
above estimates Of those who pre-
dicted sharp reduction as result of
decreased acreage. 1t is not surpris-
ing, therefore, that Cuba has surplus
of about 100000 tons, and that hold
ers of this sugar are anxious to get
rid of it before the new seasons grind
ing begins, which will tend to increase
the supply. 1t is contended that the
commission is unsuccessfully combat
ing the law of supply and demand, and
that with its removal sugar prices will
quickly readjust themselves, permitting
a resumption of speculative buying as
soon as traders feel that the bottom
level has been reached. The more
optimistic believe that demand from
this source will be sufficient to re-
move the huge surplus before the next
crop If normal movements are allowed
to take their course.

In Wall Street
"Healthy Reaction" Sets In

Selling Of steel stocks yesterday on
the theory that ten-year holiday IN
battleship construction would be harm
full to the best interests of producers
of materials used in armament manu-
facture was not surprising to obser-
want traders, but it is doubtful whether
the movement could be attributed so
much to Secretary Hughes's proposal
as to the general belief that healthy
reaction" was due because Of the weak
ened technical position of the market.
The steels were simply seized upon as
an excuse to "sel the market short
and unsettle the list as a whole-and
in this bearish traders were success
full. United States Steel Bethlehem.
Baldwin, Crucible, Republic and other
leaders were depressed without great
deal Of trouble This in spite Of the
fact that the proposed ten-9ear naval
holiday would benefit the world, es-
pecially the three leading naval pow
ers, tremendously in an economic way
For instance, if the American govern
ment could divert funds now appro-
priated for armament construction to
the railroads, the reaction on steel and
equipment companies would be of great
consequence. Prospects Of such fnan-
cial relief for the carriers, now
rather indistinct, should be consider
ably strengthened by developments in
Washington.

Discuss VanderIip's Plan

Tho banking community expressed
a keen interest yesterday in the plan
proposed by Frank A. Vanderlip, for
mer head Of the National City Bank,
for setting up an international bank, a
sort of Federal Reserve system, in Eu-
rope, printed in entirety in Sun
days Tribune. Most bankers thought
Mr.. Vanderlip's idea was both sound
and logical, but they were inclined to
consider it bit too theoretical I'VE
are probably coming to this in time, -
said one banker, "but it is still long
ways off. The fundamental weakness
in the program outlined by Mr.. Van
derlip is in financing such an institu-
ton. If we had the billion dollars
capital in gold raised and ready for use
it would be easy to put the plan
through. But the main difficulty the
sponsors of such bank would encoun-
ter would be in finding the billion to
start with. Who would buy the stock
Certainly not the investment public
on the scale required to establish the
bank"

Reaction in Standard Oils

The increased interest in Standard
Oil shares as medium Of speculation
was clearly demonstrated in yester-
days transactions in this group Of
securities. Early strength in the New
Jersey stock brought about an advance
to 179, gain of about 25 points in a
week. Traders then took profits and
the stock fell to 173 before support
served to check the decline The stock
at 1866 at the close showed net loss
Of nearly 10 points. Such wide range
casioned by increased speculation
Others in the group moved similarly,
Standard of California on the exchange
and Standard of Indiana on the curb
market, both Of which held close to
the same price range, although the
latter showed the greatest net loss at
the close, 4aa points.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-15
Traders Heavy Sellers

Traders who have been urging that
the stock market rise of recent weeks
has gone far enough to warrant sub
stantial reaction used the disarmament
proposals of Secretary of State Hughes
as an excuse to sell stocks yesterday,
directing their attacks particularly at
the steel shares. The fact that there
was heavy borrowing demand for
stocks after the close indicated that
much of the selling was for the short
account. There was also fair amount
of liquidation by people who had sub
stantial paper profits to their account.
Naturally the stocks which have had
the greatest advance were the ones to
suffer most in yesterdays decline,
although there was a general short
covering movement in the last few min
utes of trading that carried many ac-
tive issues considerably above the lows
Of the day. Although not directly af-
fected by the proposed disarmament
program Mexican Petroleum pursued
an erratic course. After selling at
1l7A, shortly after the announcement
that the company had brought in an
other 100000 barrel we'll, the stock
reacted FIVE points and closed at 113
for net loss Of 1%.

Standard Oil in Bolivia

has organized q company in Bolivia
with s5,000,o0O capital, under the name
of the Standard Oil Company of Boliv-

ian Braden and Levering concessions.
