Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 14.-The
stock market from the outset To-Day
was a very mixed affair. The ex-
tremely confused price changes, how
ever. meant only that speculative
profits were being taken in stocks
which have recently had the largest
rise and put into other. quarters OF
the list where the advance had not
been so considerable.
The violent fluctuations in the sugar
market induced heavy selling OF the
sugar shares, under which they broke
severely, South Porto Rico Sugar on
the first few sales was off points
The decline in Cuba cane sugar pre-
ferred was almost as abrupt and CuDan
American Sugar dropped points bald
win Locomotive was another stock tnat
the view that the annual report show
ing S19.03 share on the common
stock had been discounted in the rise
to 140.
Some Stocks Advance.
While the sugars, equipments, some
of the steels and few OF the OILS
were coming down, American Can'
vanadium. Replogle Steel n and Co
lumbia Gas were going up. The mar,
ket was impressed by the annual
figures on American Can showing
$3.50 on the junior shares. Replogle
Steel has now got into active pro,
duction and is making good slEeo
profits OR its sales. knowledge OF this
was responsible for the advance
across thirty.
What had more immediate inflence
than anything else upon days STOCK
market was the denial by the De-
partment of Commerce of the esti'
mates of world consumption and pro
duction of sugar, the result Of which
was to make it appear that there was
to be a considerable shortage. Thls
denial came after another sensational
lump in the price Of raw sugar across
the Scent level and was followed BY
q still more violent decline. Naturally
Spectators in the sugar stocks anc
bonds who had seen unusual paper
profits accumulate during the las'
week rushed into sell, and the en-
suing break in the sugars finally
unsettled the entire market.
Central Leather Improves.
Further improvement occurred In
Central Leather tosay, chiefly In
anticipation of the 1922 report OF
the company, which is expected &c
show that the corner was definitely
turned in the last twelve months. II
is understood that Central Leather
ended 1922 with a small surplus, as
against big deficit for each Of the two
preceding years.
The extreme weakness developing
in the group of sugar securities not
only caused hurried selling of specu-
lative holdings in other parts OF the
list, but led to some renewal of opera
tionS for the decline.

NEW ORLEANS, February 14.-luA

trade here will show a marked i'm
provement Holiday crowds attracted
by the unique celebration were larger
than for any year since the war and
many will remain in the city for some

The recent cold spell. the worst of
the season, damaged fruit and truck
crops to some extent, but the loss
was confined largely to seed and
nlantine expense, as the areas can
be replanted. Vegetables from this
section will move to market late as
a result, however. The cold spell is
expected to result in firmer prices for
strawberries, which have dropped
from rs cents to 80 cents a quart.

NEW YORK, February 14-Excite-

were inclined to hold off until the
market became more settled and no

Trading in raw sugar futures was

orders, prices broke 100 points, the
