In the Sugar Market
lBy Thomson q McKinnonl

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-Last weeks oper-
atoms in sugar futures resulted in a gain
OF 8 to 10 points while in the raw sugar
market spot prices were advanced 70 cent
and seemed to be fairly well established on
Scent cost and freight basis for Cubas.
The basis for the advance seems to have
been tardy recognition of the strong sta
tistictl position as well as persistent ru-
mors that Cuba will restrict her output
possibly to 4,000.0 900 tons for the coming
season. also that Cuban authorities have
made some advances to the leading beet
sugar producing countries along similar
market.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The finan-
cial community turned it's attention
to the autumn of the stock market
which additionally started today.
Prices in early dealings swung
ahead In confident manner In active
trading. Industrials were firm, while
rail shares spurted ahead. Food
shares, harvester stocks and mer-
camille issues gained steadily.
Numerous events of Importance
were ahead Of the market in the
coming week. 1T was expected that
several large bond offerings would
now be floated since the Govern
r1erit has announced its Sept. Is
financing program. United States
Steel untitled tonnage figures will be
made public Saturday, and Thurs
day the Government will publish its
second cotton estimate based on
conditions as of Sept. /. Brokerage
loans may be higher due to rising
prices, new offerings and arbitrating
in General Motors stocks. Offsetting
some Of these factors, the trade is
expecting better business for the
carriers and trade in general.
Rails Gain
This prospect for the carriers,
brought higher prices along the
line in this group. Atchison gained
III to 1861, New York Central u
to 1878, Southern Railway TX to
1865, and others proportionately.
California packing spurted lis to
81 following the increase in its
prices while Allied Chemical rose
more than a point to 1864, and
American Can made new high at
65ss up q. Oils we're steady despite
further increases in production with
Houston, wide mover in all mark
cts, up "a at 18TH.
Announcement of half a billion
dollars of Government financing
with a 3 per cent interest rate on
short term borrowings, constituting
half of the total gave renewed
impetus to demand for stocks.
Paramount Receivers
Government financing Is always
construed as bullish and the low
interest rate was taken to mean
continued marked ease in money.
Several stocks made new highs at
or near the opening, including Bald
win at 265, Sears Roebuck at 755s,
American Can at 65as, and allied
Chemical at 1864. United States
Steel was in good demand around
14615, while General Motors, both
cold and new stocks, duplicated their
former tops at 251% and 127
respectively.
IA The sharp uprush Of the last few
days brought out some profit taking,
but this was readily absorbed, the
list holding it's early gains well and
in several instances pushing further
upwards. Paramount recovered to
above 103, following settlement of
the moving picture theater strike in
Chicago.
Nickel Plate has been bought by
people who believe it is selling out
of line with other high grade rails.
1t was the one road that showed q
substantial gain in operating revenue
in July of something over IL per
cent. 1t will earn close to SIS a
share this year if earning since
Jan. / are maintained.
