BOND PRICES DROP
TO RECORD LOWS
Many Issues Are Down in
Final Session of Years
Trading.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 31.-The
contrast between the 1923 bond mar
ket and the market for stocks could not
be drawn more strikingly than by the
statement that today there were 235
separate bond issues selling at the low
est of the year, of which SO per cent
were of foreign origin, while l25 differ
ent stocks we're quoted higher than
they had been before the December .
break.
In other words, the bond market this
year has paid the penalty of excessive
speculation in stocks. 1t has been prl-
marily the absorption of money IN
stocks that has caused the high rates
of interest and brought liquidation IN
investment securities and also placed
an embargo on new offerings.
Unfortunately this situation SHOWS
little sign of improvement, for While
there will be easier money conditions
after the first of the year, there can De
no ease in money such as is required 10
stimulate the market for bonds SO long
as stocks remain active and strong.

REMOVAL OF SUGAR
BAN IS DISCUSSED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 31.-Because
of the large outstanding amount of
bonds of Cuban sugar producing COM
panies and the low prices at which these
issues are at present selling, Wall Street
took deep interest in the announce
ment that the Cuban government had
decided to remove all sugar restrictions
from the new crop.
Temporarily this may be a bearish
factor. 1t has already had an effect
on raw sugar prices. Bankers for the
various Cuban sugar companies, how
ever. are more concerned over its future
than its immediate reaction, as 1t will
be necessary during the next IL months
to adopt policies toward the financing
Of the Cuban properties depending on
the long-range outlook Of the sugar
industry.
AS the situation stands 1t would be
difficult to sell any new Cuban sugar
bonds or to refund old issues. The
prices at which existing bonds are SELL
