SUGAR RISE HALTED
Check to Advance May Be
Only Temporary.
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

Millers Crg Government to Porrhase 200,
000 Tons.
Barcelona flour merchants, ' writes Con
rul General C. B. Hurst, have urgd upon the
.Spanish government the advisability of se
curing for the country within as short a
time as may be expedient 200,000 tons of
wheat. This amount necessitates the pay
ment of sums which th-e wheat merchants
cannot themselves advance at present, and
accordingly tfcey petition that it may ba
advanced, from. th iublio funds to be re
im burse d as soon as possible. Millers require,
'It is stated, 119.000 tons for their customers.
At present foreign wheat Is quoted at
the equivalent of $3.55 per 100 pounds, ex
clusive of port charges and unloading, and
domestic wheat at $3.31, loaded at railway
station. In virtue of a contract signed in
November, 1015, before the Director-General
of Customs, the millers of Catalonia, In
Northeastern Spain, sell flour for ordinary
bread at $3.02 per 100 pounde, and superior
qualities at $4.04 to $4.16, while inferior
grades are sold at $3.35 to $3.75.
The mills of Barcelona grind some 1000
tons of wheat daily.
LOCAL EGO MARKET IS FIRMER

STOCK UNDER PRESSURE
SEVERE LOSSES REGISTERED BY
WAR SHARES.
Selling Die Mainly to Persistent Peace
Humors Steel Weak Through
out Entire Session.
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.

DEMAND FOB COFFEE IS LACKING
Denial of Ship Seizure Does Not Start Im

NEW YORK, March 20. 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

REACTION AT CLOSE
Fresh Rumors of Peace Sty
Advance in Chicago Wheat.
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.
