FINANCIAL REVIEW.

There were three distinct influences
in the markets today.
One was the further consideration OF
the governments astonishing action in
the sugar case. Another was a redur-
ton of refined oil. initiated by the
Standard of New Jersey and imne-
petitors. Third was the attention
called to the rapid pace Of business
movements as brought out by the
completed figures for March and the
accompanying warning that prices
cannot go ahead much from the present
level without inviting unpleasant con-
SEQUENCES.
Some further decline occurred in
speculative sugar options and trans
actions in actual sugar were reported
at somewhat lower figures. But the
decline in Cuban raws as the result Of
the attorney generals suit has been
trifling; IL has amounted TO only a
quarter OF cent in the pound. This
is a sufficiently clear indication of
what the sugar trade thinks about the
governments attack and the claim that
the recent rise has been artificial.
An interesting contribution in the
news OF the day was the report that
czechoslovakia which normally ships
nut between 100000 and 100000 tons
h year has prohibited exports alto
gether. This is a development which
bears directly upon the question Of
world demand and supply as It has
altered since the outset Of the year.
At the same time four more Cuban
grinding mills were heard from with
their completed results and only one
out OF the four equalled the esti-
mates included in the maximum pro-
duction OF a 4,100.000-ton crop which
refining interests have sponsored and
which Washington apparently is
counting upon.
The reduction in gasoline was the
natural sequel TO the recent cut in
crude oil prices and the over-produc-
ton in California which has made II
possible for eastern refiners TO secure
a supply of cheap raw material by sea.
There was nothing new in the bust
ncses situation itself to bring mp the
question Of possible over-expanslon
any more forcibly than for the past
month.
The Department OF commerce iis-
ures published this morning bear out
what was already known That March
production in some lines, like cotton
and pig iron broke all records and In
other lines closely approached the peak
of three years ago. The essential
point of difference, however. was
stressed that prices had not followed
production the way they did in l9?o
and that the wholesale average is stu
35 per cent under what it was at the
haiebt Of the inflationnry area.

LIGHT SUPPLIES ARE
AGAIN REPORTED ON
LIVESTOCK MARKET
Cattle Values Are Steady;
Hogs Show Slight
Decline.
BY l.. C. GRUNDELANn.

Copyright. by The san Antonio Light.
Chicago. April 20.--A light supply
was reported in the cattle alleys to-
day while the fresh run of hogs also
fell below the expected number. Sell
ers had more than 1900 hogs held
over from yesterday, however, and
these had to be added to the fresh
supply. Less than 5000 were re-
ceived bc big killers from other trad
ing points. About 1000 lambs were
forwarded to packers. The weeks to-
tai sheep run shows an increase over
last weeks number and the figure
will be the largest of any week dur
ing the year. Supplies were 1000 cat
tie. 10000 hogs, $4,000 sheep and
1000 calves.
Cattle trade was called fully steady
today. The run was light and few
choice steers were in the pens. Hot
weather made cattle fill up on water,
and this made the prices better than
they looked on paper. Total supply
of cattle for the week shows a de-
crease of about 1000 compared with
last week. Present prices for steers
were called strong to a little higher
for the period. Cows were fully
steady today, and somewhat higher
than week ago. Gamers and bulls
sold well.
Hogs were strong from the star,
and values were ; cents higher than
the low point of the day before. Prime
light hogs sold at SS.45. The general
trade was lower than the best point
of the previous session. Big packers
were slow TO take hold and rough ami
mails were weak, some going at S6.TS
and below. Choice heavy butcher:
sold around STD TO $50. Sheer
trade was generally steady. Choice
wool lambs went Mt S14.25 TO S14.60
while some prime light shorn lott
went at S1.00 to S11.50. The righ
kind of fresh slipped lambs are still
quotable Mt $40. No California sprin,
lambs were in the pens today. AgeC
muttons were picked up at unchanged
price levels.

TO DISCUSS NAVY GUNS
Cabinet Conference Bids Fair to Have
Bearing on Worlds Fleets

Washington, ID. G., April 20.-The
forthcoming cabinet conference to de.
eide whether the main batteries OF
thirteen American battlcships shall be
elevated to obtain an increased battle
range, may develop into a major
naval council to discuss basic nation
al policies of extreme Importance.
Carefully compiled data, illustrat-
ing an international race for suprem-
acy in naval auxiliaries, which has
followed the Washington arms confer.
ence, IL was said in naval circles, will
be laid before President Harding,
with formal expressions from his
naval advisers as TO the necessity OF
the American program II the agreed
balance is to be maintained.
With this data will be a summary
Of the joint report of the army and
navy on the results OF the recent fleet
maneuvers off Panama.
The controversy over the gun eleva-
ton, raised by the denial Of the Brit.
ish embassy that similar action had
been taken in the British navy and
the inference that it was considered
as a violation of the five-power naval
treaty, it is expected to be subordi-
mated to a wider program entailing a
review of the full naval situation
which has ensued under. II not from,
the Washington convention.

TRAGIC END TO SEIGE
Little Band Of Irish Rebels Leaves
Cave and Is Beaten.

London, April 2O.-The spectacular
siege of a little band Of Irish re-
publicans. which had been holding out
against the Free State forces in q
cave 100 feet from the top of Clash
meelion Cliff on the wild shore of
the Shannon in County Kerry, has
come to n sensational ending.
Two OF the men. who had been
fighting under continuous machine
gun fire since Monday night, fell
from the cliff into the Shannon while
trying to escape in the darkness. OF
Wednesday night and were drowned:
Commander Lyons, Of the Hillside
fortress, dropped 100 feet 20 the beach
while being hauled up the cliff. but
rose and was shot and killed while
trying to escape, anG the four others
of the little party, including. Walter
Stevens, of London, were captured.
according to dispatch to the Central
News from Tralee.
The men in the cave. evidently be-
lieving their position insecure. were
endeavoring to sally forth and reach
the protection Of an adjoining cave
when the casualties occurred.
The body Of Commander Lyons was
washed out to sea by the rising tide.

SUGAR STOCKS DROP
DURING FIRST HOUR
THEN RISE QUICKLY
Report That Business Is
OUer-expended Fails TO
Affect Market.
BY STUART z. WEST.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, April 20.-The principal
topic OF discussion around the street
this morning was the statement given
out by one of the best known Wall
street operators, warning the public
that business expansion was approach
ing the danger stage and making much
OF the large issues of new securities
during the past fifteen months.
Many saw in this evidence of an
opposition party and the possible be-
ginnings of bear campaign. But in
quarters which have been optimistic,
at least regarding the nearer future of
the stock market, confidence was un.
diminished and this showed in the
promptness with which the early losses
were cut down.
Sugar stocks, during the first hour.
lost another point or more and were
off 3 10 points from the high OF
Thursday. but they were as quick TO
rally as the average. Evidently the
controlling interests in the Corn Prod.
ucts market were not afraid of the
governments attack upon sugar prices.
for this was one OF the leaders Of the
recovery which set in after decline of
the first hour.
The principal bull argument on Corn
Products has been that the rise in su.
gar will increase the demand for sugar
substitutes and this argument would
disappear il the government were able
to establish its contention that the ad-
vance has been artificial.
Among the rails special buying ap-
pearcd in Reading. The matter Of the
segregation plan. il is intimated, will
be disposed of before the circuit court
in Philadelphia recesses for the sum.
mer. This was possibly the motive
back Of the buying.
The cut of a cent gallon in gaso
line prices caused some selling Of tn,
oils. but these stocks were no NOR
sensitive than any others.

many commission merchants are be-
