GENERAL COURSE UPWARD Icfinors, Far Behind In Their Ship ments, Owing to Kreight Conges tion and Strikes, Seek to Orrb Speculative Buying, The only development In the Eastern wu gar market yesterday was a 6-point de cline f n raws, but the easing of the mar ket, it Is thought, is only temporary. Rpfined grades were not affected and were t ady at the old price. Jast week's advances in 'refined sugar, according to word received from the Eastern trade, were not entirely due to the strength in Cuba, but were -also Intended to check the Inquiry from the country. It Is said that the distributors throughout the coun try have recently shown strong diopositlon toward speculation and inasmuch, as "re finers generally are now several weeks be hind in their shipments, they are anxious to discourage buying except where com mitments on the books are limited, rmring the part month, granulated sugar ra advanced cent per pound, com pared with a, rise of " cent per pound for raws. The congestion of freight from Cuba and the recent labor troubles at the plants of some of the Eastern refineries, together with the hrfivy demand from Europe for sucar produced In tins country and freight congestion on th railroads, have caused the producers io fall away behind in their deliveries. While the refiners insist there is no actual shortage of Supplies, they freely admit that the supply is so limited by the many handicaps which have re cently arisen as to warrant the statement that conditions arc serious. Growers in r"uba, where the great bulk f fho sugar refined in this country comes from, have recen t ly taken advantage of the increased dpmand for raws and the oth-r conditions surrounding the market fit this time and a re asking higher prices for their supplies. The course of snzar prices in the Amerl Tan markets during the pa-st month or so has r-een rteadily upward. It is estimated that the annual consumption of sugar In tho United States is about 3,700,000 tons. On this basis, the advance of per pound Jn granulated, which has taken : place In the last month, means an advance of about $1G per ton, or an increase in the cost nf pugar to the consumer of approxi mately OO.OOO per annum. Many retailers throughout the country have been caught in a most unfortunate 3'osltloii hv the advancing prices of sugar and the limited supplies available. Hav m c failed to recognize the seriousness f the situation and place their orders In ad -me. they are now finding themselves j-hort an .1 ar endeavoring to place con tracts for supplies far ah.ad. In this they are bem? combated, to some extent, by the refiner., who see the speculative Tnenis of the buying -movement and are en tforring strict limitations on their book com mitments. 0 LARGER DKTBEASK IN VIFBM3 SUPPLY Two and Three-quarter Million Shrinkage In J'ast Week.

SPAIN IS IX NXXD OF WHEAT Millers Crg Government to Porrhase 200, 000 Tons. Barcelona flour merchants, ' writes Con rul General C. B.

NETV YORK. March 20. Stocks were un der steady pressure today, with se-ere losses in war issues, which yielded 2 to 7 points, mainly In consequenoe of persistent peaoe rumors. Although these reports lacked even circumstantial detail, they were accepted with much seriousness In speculative circles and the short Interest was Increasingly active. The reversal was accelerated in no small measure by the heaviness of United States Steel, which was under restraint from the outset on a very large overturn. Selling of Steel, which seemed to emanate from sub stantial quarters, had its basis partly on the theory that the present high level of prices for fabricated steel and Iron must inevitably result in a curtailment of de mand. Even the brilliant statement of the Beth lehem Steel Corporation for 1915, showing earnings of 112 per cent applicable to the common stock, failed to hold the industrial and equipment Issues. Bethlehem, on a very small -output, registered a loss of 14 at 520. Lowest - prices were made In the very active final hour, when support of the spe cial group was almost wholly lacking. United Stabes Steel was offered In round amounts down to 84Mi. a loss of 2i points, and closed at its minimum. Other weak shares included Crucible Steel. Westing house. American and Baldwin Locomotive, American Can, Mexican Petroleum and some of the metals. In the main, rails gave a good account of themselves, losses in that group being eon fined to fractions, except in Reading. Cana dian Pacific, Norfolk & Western and allied shares, where recessions ranged from 1 to 2 points. Total sales ef stocks amounted to 843. 000 I' shares. During the early jjart of the session there was seine buying of the international list tfvr Lo 'don aocount, the Pacific and rles, as well as coppers, being in demand. Amer icans were firmer abroad, but Inactive. Heaviness ruled in the bond market, the only noteworthy exception - being Anglo French Cs, which were fractionally higher. Total sales of bonds, par value, were $2,890, 000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid.

Denials that the Brazilian government -had seized interned German ships failed to create any Important demand in the market for coffee futures here today, although neports of such action had been considered responsible for a sharp break In prices last week. The market opened at a decline -of 5 to 31 points under scattering liquidation and some trade selling, which seemed to bo inspired by the large clearances reported from Santos for this country and reports that Brazil was offer ing a little more freely. Prices were steadied at the decltno to 7.8Uo for May and 8.01c for September, however, arid May later sold up to 7 4c and September to 8.10c on cover ing. The close was 1 to 5 points net lower.

FINAL PRICES ARE HEAVY Until Latter Part of Session, Market Was Strong as Result of Bad Croji) Conditions in Win ter Grain States. CHICAGO. March 20. Fresh rumors of peace led to a sudden bearish reaction in .the wheat market today Just before the close. Notwithstanding, however, that latest prices were heavy, the finish, with May at $1.09, and July at $1.0S, showed a net gain of 2c to 2c," largely the result of bad crop conditions In Illinois and other Winter wheat states. Corn gained c to 1(1C. and oats c to c. In provisions, the out come was unchanged to 12c higher.' Except In the last 15 minutes of the ses soln, when peace reports gave the "market a Jolt, wheat was decidedly on the advance the greater part of the time. Despite the fact that peace reports, which became current late in the session, were un confirmed, the effect was to discount at once statements that foreigners had been buying futures here and that the reported seizures of German vessels in Brazil were untrue. It was estimated that 1.500,000 bushels of wheat had been purchased today and Satur day for export to Europe,' malrtly Manitoba wheat for May-June shipment. Corn swayed with wheat. Slowness of Eastern shipping acted to some extent as a check on the bulls. Oats derived some of their strength from too dry weather news sent by the Southwest. It was said also that Baltimore was actively in the market for cash oats. Continued demand for lard tended to lift the provision list as a whole. Export ship ments of lard for the week were 3.000.0AO pounds more than for the corresponding time last year. Leading futures ranged as follows: ' WHEAT.
