Sugars Are Actiue On Generally Dull Day

NEW YORK, April 1o;-,-Activity of sugar company liens which registered mixed prices, and firmness of the United States government bonds were features of today's relatively quiet bond market on the New York Stock exchange. A slight stiffening of time money rates tended to restrict the upward movement of the last few days, but price changes generally were confined to fractions.
 South Porto Rico Sugar Is dropped 2Ss points. while most of the sugar liens ad- vanced slightly in sympathy with the stocks. Punta Alegre Sugar 7s were up a point. Cerro de Pasco ss were up 2ia and Bethlehem Steel refunding 5s, 1h Railroad mortgages were dull.

| TREND OF PRICES IS REACTIONARY
 ON CURB MARKET

NEW YORK, April 1o.- Heavy speculative selling of oil shares on announcement of price cuts in weast- ern territory imparted a reactionary trend to prices in today's curb mar kct.
 Standard Oils of Indiana and Ken lucky each closed about d point low CT and some high priced shares broke ? to 2 points on a small turnover. but the net losses in the other active issues were held to fractions. Carib bean syndicates established a new top at 75s and then dropped to 67s for net loss of F. Cities Service duplicated it's previous low of I'll.
 Except for a break of 5 points to 51 in Peerless Motor, which later rallied to 531a, price movements in the industrial group were narrow and irregular. Rights to subscribe to the new ' per cent cumulative preferred stock of the American Woolen company were admitted to trading, opening at 75 cents and dropping to 50 before the elise. GIL lette Safety Razor sold a point above the previous sale.
 Mining shares were moro active.
