Sugar Situation of the Future By.J. C. ROYLE. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, May 8.—Manufao- turers of carbonated beverages— soda water, in other words—are cele- brating today the one hundredth anniversary of the starting of the industry in this country. They are far more cheerful, however, over the present low prices of sugar than over the fact that the industry is a hundred years old. So are the man- ufacturers of bottles, bottling sup- plies and soda fountain equipment. With Cuban raw sugars down to about 4% cents a pound, cost, insur- ance and freight, and with refined granulated well under 8 cents, the majority of the makers of soft drinks and confectionery in this country already have laid in heavy supplies of cheap sugar, which com- modity plays a heavy part in their munufacturing costs. Interests in this country in close touch with the Cuban political situa~ tion declare the unrest now evident thero is not serious. Even should it proceed far enough to interfere with raw sugar production and shipment, the result they declare, would not be serious to American consumers because of the larger production in Cuba this year and the steadying influence of the big beet sugar out- put within this country. Even those factors in the sugar trade who declare the available sup- Piles have been mated, admit there will be sufficient for American consumptive needs. So far, about one third of the Cuban centrals or cane mills have com- pleted grinding. Their output has been heavier than expected. The Uncertain, Claim entire Cuban crop for 1923-24 is estimated at above 3,800,000 tons. Deducting amounts already sent to the United States and other coun- tries, the consumption in Cuba itself and the estimated requirements of other countries for the remainder of the year, there remains, according to some authorities, 1,716,000 tons of Cuban sugar which is available for this country up to January 1, 1925. The amount which will be avatl- able from the Louisiana cane crop, the beet sugar factories, Porto Rico, Hawaif, «the Philippines and the Virgin islands is placed at 1,899,000 tons. The net requirements of tae country are estimated at 3,641,000 tons, but the difference between re- quirements and supplies from the sources mentioned is expected to be wiped out by the unknown quantity of sugar in refiners hands and the imports of full duty sugars. Both tho requirenents and the supplies for the ‘remainder of the year are estimated. Consumption is subject to violent changes as the re- finers found out last year when tho prices of granulated shot skyward. Production is governed to some ex- tent by weather conditions and it also is subject to revision, How- ever, the canning trade is making Preparations for an active season and the demand for fruit Jars and other glass and tin receptacles indi- cates the housewives will preserve large quantities of fruits and vege- tables’ this summer. With these facts in mind, some of the larger Cuban producers art making no effort to crowd their raws on the market at this time and are willing to wait in the hope of somewhat higher price le Market Gossip and Briefs On Operations in Oil Fields Steel Output ‘The output of steel ingots in the United States In April is calculated at 3,386,266 tons by the American Iron and Steel Institute compared with 4,187,042 {n March and 3,003,- 786 in April, 1923.

STEEL OTOGKS LOWER Active Selling Takes Place In Afternoon Trading Today. NEW YORK, May 8.—Desultory price movements characterized to- day's stock market, one of the dull- est full days session this year. Oils yielded readily to selling pressure on reports of another increase in erude production. Allied exchanges Was decidedly weak. Sales approxi- mated 500,000 shares, NEW YORK, May 8,—Stock prices moved frregularly lower at the open- ing of today's stock market with most of the standard industrials recording fractional recessions on initial sales, General Electric dropped a point. Oils were ain heayy, but the rafls held relatively firm, Prices developed a more reaction- ary trend as trading progressed, but recessions ag a rule were held to a point or'less. American Can, Baldwin and Studebaker each sold about a point below yesterday's final figures while Yellow Cab, Goodyear prior preferred, Atlantic Coast Line and Famous Players dropped a point or more. New Orleans, Texas and Mexico was up %. Foreign ex- changes were weak, demand sterling showing an overnight drop of about 2 cents at. $4.36%, Weakness of the foreign exchange markets and reports of another in: crease in crude oil production by the American Petroleum Institute were regarded as contributing fac- tors to the morning sellteg. ‘Trad- ing, however, was relativy light in volume. Olls were the hardest hit as a group, Atlantic Refining dropping nearly five points and Gen- eral Asphalt, Pacific Oll, Producers and*Refiners and Sinclair losing a point or so, the last named duplicat- ing its previous low of 18%. Bald- win and General Electric extended their early losses to 1% points each, while United States Cast Iron Pipe, American Radiator, Central Leather preferred,’ Marine preferred, Corn Products and Mack Truck were added to the ist of stocks to sell a Point or so below yesterda final Call money opened at 3% per cent.
