Please give me space in your

Il does seem very strange that we
know the price that sugar IS selling at IN
St. Croix from the factories but we see
no mention whatever Of The price paid
or being paid for c mes delivered. This
is very strange.
why was il that we never saw las was
ALWAYS the custom) that the scales would
be tested at such a day and hour?
We also see the price of sugar in the
New York market, but it is a big differ
1pce to our local price. Now 10 not jor-
set the last story with the Commission

BONDS HELDD DOWN BY PROFIT TAKING
Governmental Issues Con- tinue To Reach New
 High Levels

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Despite the establishment of several new high rec ords by foreign and United States gov ernment obligations today, the general trend of bond prices was downward in reflection of announced profit-taking Price movements mainly were limited to fractions but they were sufficient to carry three liberty issues and the treasury 414's to 1924 high levels, all though closing quotations failed to hold at the top. Presentation of the Dawes plan to the German envoys and the buoyancy of European exchanges exerted a favorable influence on foreign bonds, several issues establishing new 1924 records.
 The $25,000,O00 Norwegian loan of fered was oversubscribed. Investors showed considerable interest in the 6 per cent bonds offered at 971a and sub- scription books were closed at noon.
 Trading interest in railroad bonds again centered in the Chesapeake and Ohio convertible 5's which have re- flected the progress made in the Nickel Plate merger negotiations. The bonds lowered around 103 today with one block of $400,000 changing hands.
 Because of the current high levels of liberty bonds it was reported today that government sinking fund operations would Suspend indefinitely.

COTTON IS HIGHER WITH QUIET TONE ------ Continued DrQuth Has It's
 Effect Upon New
 York Market x

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The cotton market was quiet but generally higher today owing to the continued growth in the southwest and apprehensiohs of crop damage should the drouth continue, October sold up rom sT.7Oc io 2S.35c and closed at 2S.25c, with the general market closing steady at net advances of "A to 32 points.
 ; The opening was easy at decline of 10 to IA points following thu receipt of lower Liverpool cables and priyate crop reports tending te confirm the re- gently increased estimates of the yield. Offerings, were comparatively light, however, because of the failure of the early weather news to indicate any break in the southwestern drouth and prices soon turned steadier on a re- newal of. covering and local buying. Reports of lower temperatures in Texas caused moderate reactions early in the afternoon but failed to stimulate any selling of consequence and the best prices of the day were reported in the late trading. December sold up from 27.13c to 27.65c ard Mach advanced to 27.74c, representing net gains of 30 to A points on the general list. Last prices were few points off from the best under realizing.
 Three more private crop reports were published. the condition figures ranging from 67.8 to 68.5 and the in- dicated yields from 12,524, 900, to 12,- 440,000 bales. These figures were about in line with the average of recent re- ports and had only a monetary effect on the market which appeared sensitive to comparatively small orders either way. Exports today were 8,141 bales, making 15,650 so far this season. Port receipts 3,081. United States port stocks, 221,725.

REACTION CAUSES DROP IN STOCKS Market Unable To Absorb Large Profit Talk
 ing Sales

NEW YORK, Aug. H5. .AReactionary tendencies developed 3n today's stock market when it was unable to absorb the large volume of profit-taking sales. hecessions in active issues ran from one to three points, with trading in re- duced volume, although total sales ex. ceeded the million share mark for the sixteenth consecutive full session.
 Though many observers stated that a reaction was warranted because of the weakened technical condition of the market after eight weeks of steadily rising prices, it undoubtedly received added impetus from the announcement or another cut in eastern crude oil prices and the omission of the common and preferred dividends on Pressed Steel Car. Apparently little attention was paid to favorable trade news which included reports of increases in the mill activity from steeA centers, pub hcation of excellent earnings state ments by chain store and public utility companies and increase in car ioadings on the western railroads.
 United States Steel common fluctuat- ed within a range of one point. closing A lower t-1OS1a. Baldwin. American Gan, DuPont, American sTobacco B, Guif States Steel. International Paper, Maxwell Motor A., Savage Arms and several other popular industrials showed net losses of to 2 points.
 Eighteen issues established new 1924 highs during the session. These included American International Corporation, Associated Dry Goods common and pre- ferred, Fleischmann, United Fruit, pre- ferred, Mack Truck and Jordan Motors. Rails were mixed, strength of Lacka- wanna, Delaware and Hudson and the Wheeling and Lake Erie issues, all of which broke through their previous high high prices of the year, being counter acted Dy the heaviness of-=Rock Island. Great Northern preferred, SNickel Plate and Missouri Pacific preferred, all of which showed losses of a point or more. i
 Special weakness cropped out in At lant1c Refining on rumors of unfayor- able dividend action when the direc- tors meet next week, the stock closing nearly two points lower at S6%. The E Pressed Car issues touched new 1924 lows,
 Call money again ruled at 2 per cent. Time money was obtainable from to S13 per cent, depending upon maturity. The commercial paper market was fair 1y active with the bulk of the business being done at 3115 per cent. 9
 Foreign exchange rates continued, to strengthen in anticipation of frGther ia vOrable developments at the London separations conference. Demand ster- ling advanced more than a cent to 446ss, new high record for the year and later reacted to 4455 and French francs sold above 515 cents for the first time in nearly two months, but failed to hold the full gain until the close. Swiss fraucs advanced to within few points of par.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 4 bsThe cotton market was not as active to- day as it has been in recent sessions but the trend of prices was upward. The main stimulating influences were the increasing seriousness of the drouth in the west, which is gradually extending to the central belt, the very much more favorable character of for eign political news and an expanding de- mand for spots in the southwest at higher premiums. As LiverpooI came in lower than due October, traded at 2G.93c near the opening and Decem- Der at 26.92c, or 10 tJ 13 points be- low the closing of yesterday. Later Oc- tober gradually advanced to 2z.51c and December to 27.46c or G. md b4spoints up from the low. There was a moderate reaction in the late trading on realiz- ing and the close showed net gains for the day of 34 to 37 points.
 The initial cause of the advance was the failure of the weather man to show any trace of the rains privately reported yesterday except slight show CT at Taylor, in south Texas. Private reports from the western states, particu- larly from Texas, admitted that the drOuth was becoming serious and that the crop was going back shedding free ly and blooming at the top.
 Three more condition reports were is- sued today showing condition. averages ranging from GIG to 68.5. Two of the reports gave crop indications, one of 12,425,OO0 and the other of 12,44O.- 900. The average condition of the IA private reports so far issued is 6S.2, and the average crop indication is 12,- 284, 900 bales. -s
