FINANCIAL REVIEW.

The outstanding incident in the
markets today was the sudden check
imposed upon speculative activities
in three directions simultaneously
in stocks, in cotton and in sugar.
Of the three movements, the break
in sugar prices was the most inter
esting. In stocks. il was merely a
day of realizing sales in narrow
professional market. No change was
indicated in the main position and
the most significant feature was thar
as prices stopped going up trading
grew dull.
Wall street has been surprised
enough already that the Department
of Commerce with the data in hand
regarding the new Cuban sugar crop
and supplies present and prospective
could have taken the side of the poll
tician agitatOrs who were charging
that the recent rise in prices was a
piece of market manipulation.
But this was nothing to the re-
straiIing action of the attorney gem
cral which could have hardly been
taurn except with the approval of the
entire administration. Estimates of
the 1922 Cuban harvest have diff
fcred MS widely rs 100000 tons. but
the ccntrals have gradually been
shutting down. The testimony has
borne more and more on the side Of
lower estimates. In any unpreju-
diced view it has been perfectly plain
that the Cuban crop is going to turn
ont considerably below the cxpecta-
tions at the start of the year. Even
before the reduction in estimates ot
what Cuba would turn out. the De
partment Of Commerce calculated I'M
der date of February Q. that the
world surplus this year would he
only 100000 tons. that is only about
ten days supply and another alto
cether abnormally slim market. These
are the grounds upon which the ad-
vance in the sugar market has gone
forward

active buying in some of the rails

bolt from the sky. There was an i'm
mediate rush to unload the sugar
stocks under which these were car
ried down to > IL points from the
early high marks. Then substantial
buying orders were met and a sharp
rally followed.
The commotion in the sugar stocks

upon the rest of the market but il
did not bring about any weakness.

which had looked rather promising
on the previous days was checked.

BONDS ARE STEADY
Market Seems Firm Although Little
Activity Is Displayed.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
New York. April 1s.-The bond
market was firmer today, although
not especially active.
One factor contributing TO the stead
incss of late has been the compara-
lively small amount of new offerings,
pressure OF which upon the market
was partly responsible for the action.
The result has been some specula-
tive buying of high grade securities
such as General Electric 3 LIS, which
at their present prices Weld nearly

fidence in the stability Of the money
market. traders having recovered from
their alarm over the possibility Of ac-
