THREATENED CUT IN
OIL PRICES STARTS
STOCKS DOWNWARD
Decline Becomes General
With Lowest Prices
in Last Hour.
By STUART r. WEST.

New York, April 3e.-Operations
for the decline on the stock exchange
took full advantage today OF the wide
spread talk of another cut in oil prices.
The low prices were reached in the
last hour. Bear traders seemed to
have things all their own way. Can
adian Pacific, the only railway stock TO
do anything of Importance in the re-
cent market, broke below 151 where it
was points off as compared with the
high of two weeks ago. Rubber stocks.
which previously had been giving n
good account of themselves, were con-
.spicuously weak. Copper and zinc
stocks were under pressure and L. s.
Steel common got down virtually to its
low of the year.
A further reduction. especially in
the Mid Continent field has been dis
cussed in oil trade circles for some
days past. Many believe that mas
much as the big oil interests are prom
inent factors in the stock market the
over production of oil and the necessity
for correcting it by price cuts have
temporarily influenced sentiment in

New York. April 3O.-With the oils,
the sugars today bore the brunt of the
pessimistic talk regarding conditions
in the outside trade and naturally the
sugar securities themselves reflected
this feeling. The much discussed gov
eminent suit against the sugar ex-
change, the threat of a countrywide
buyers strike and the sugar option
market all had their part in bringing
about the selling which occurred in
sugar stocks from the outset. In fact
the pressure was not relieved at all
until around midday when it was an
nounced that sugar options had re-
bounded as sharply as they had
dropped early in the morning. At
their low they were below 6 cents ms
compared with Saturdays fin.l quota
ton of G.3Sc. Then the market went
ahead to well above 6 cents again.
