- morning’s two-hour stock" markat aif- o RCESINWAL " STREET HEHER Many Sharp Advances Noted in “Today’s Very"Lively Two-Hour Session. BY STEUART P. WEST. Bpecial Dispatch to The Sta: NEW YORK, February 10.—This ferred from those of the previous days only in that the advancing tendency was more uniform. Sugadr stocks doniinated the trading, but by no means monopolized it. The steels were very strong, taking more account of the statements made in the week end business reviews that the steel mills, although in some instances operating at 90 per cent of capacity, were unable to keep pace with “orders. The ocoppers did some- what better and railway shares were for the most part higher. Active buying at new high- prices in the shares of transportation com- panies located in the south and south- west was due to the growing appre- clation of the bright outlook for con- tinued large earnings-as the result of the rise in cotton and oil prices. Sugar Rise Spectacutar. X The rise in Cuba Cane Sugar pre- ferred was quite spectacular. Punta Alegre. American Beet Sugar -and American Sugar Refining followed along closely and Cuban American Sugar bearing out reports that the stock will be restored to a $2 dividend basic next June got up to 33. Crucible Steel was the most eagerly bought in the steel group on. talk of 6 per cent dividend, but Republic and Replogie were carried along. Lima Locomotive was the leader of the equipment group responding to intimations of a dividend increase. Among public utilities North Amerls «<an be made a new high. Public Service of New Jersey crossed par and there Was unusual activity and rising prices in Utah securities. Review and Outlook. The main consideration again in to- day’s markets was the favorable trade reports. These emphasized the ad- vancing drift of pvrices and by conse- quence the increasing profit margin of the mills and’ factories. In fact, at no time so far has the tone of these trade advices been so confi- dent. With the course of the morn- ing another advance of 10 cents a barrel was announced in Mid-Conti- nent Crude, and this precipitated the active buying movement in a num- ber of oils. 5 The Friday market had not fully realized the extent of the advance \ In raw sugar.

YORK, February 10.—The quick passage of the debt-fundips bill in the House Friday by a large majority benefited liberty bonds to- day and was sentimentally of value throughout the entire list. The feature of the short trading to- day was the sensational rise in sugar bonds, particularly the Eastern Sugar 7%s, which advanced 4% points,~-whilé ba Cane Bugar convertible 88 were at the highest in over a year. Ameri- can Bugar 6s were also strong. Other bonds were qulet and not greatly changed, although fractional advances were shown in a few of the speculative rails, notably the Seaboard Air Lines. Financing this week amounted to over 370,000,000, of which the larger part represented municipal and public utility issues. There probably will be a number of quite large issues next week. WHEATPRES HGHER " DURING ACTIV VK Opinion Prevails That Present Prices Are Too Low When Com- pared With Other Staples. By the Associsted Press. CHICAGO, ~February 10.— Active buying, apparently for eastern inter- ests and based to a considersble ex- tent on opinion that wheat was too low in price as judged against other staples, has lifted the wheat market this weelk to a higher level of vaiues. Compared with a week ago, wheat this morning was up 1% to 3% a bushel. Corn showed a gain of 1% to 2% ; oats, % to 1%, and provisions, 5 to Great relative strength of May wheat, the delivery of which repre- | sents supplies on hand as distinguish- ed from the prospective new crop. has been one of the most striking features of the wheat market through- out the week. In this connection, a continued falling off in the volume of receipts at primary terminals ha attracted special notice and appeared to emphasize bullish confldence that on the immediate showing wheat was too cheap as compared with the com- modity list as a whole. Further optimism on the part of j wheat buvers was associated in some Quarters " with far-reaching effects looked for through settiement of the British war debt to the United States. Fluctuating chances of peace and {war in the near east had much to do with various temporary price changes in the wheat market, but failed to alter, except in a transient way, the general upward course of values. In {llke manner, enow and rain in the winter crop belt merely offset as a market factor the opposing influence of a preceding extreme cold wave. Gossip that proposed farm legisla- tion had lost impetus, failed also to act as & permanent weight on the market. Corn and oats followed the leader- ship of wheat. B g Provisions averaged higher wity hogs. EXPORTS DURING 1922 WORTH $3,831,932,193 Comyerce Department Reports Slump in Foreign Trade Since Previous Year. The total value of American mer- chandise exports during 1922 was § $31,932,193, compared to $4.485,031,35 in 1921 Although a complete analysis of merchandise exports during the year is not yet available, the annual total, as made public today by the Co: merce Department, indicated that a falling off in tradé with Canada and European countries, together with-a smaller falling off in trade With South America, was the cause of the de- crease in-exports for 1922, compared with 1921. The notable decreases were in e: ports to the United Kingdom, Ger- many and Italy. Large decreases are also shown in exports to Mexico, Ar- gentina and Japan.

C. ROYLE: Special Dispateh to The Star. NEW YORK, February 10.—Smoke up and pay up will be synonymous for cigar lovers in the near future. That was the opinfon expressed in no uncertain terms among exhibitors at the international tobacco and al- lied Industries expositiort here today. Shortage of raw material, they de- clared, shortly would force manufac- turers to advance prices on their ci- gars. “The prices now being paid in the large leaf tobacco growing states. ke Connecticut, Pennsylvania and’ Ohlo, are equal fo those paid during the war perlod and in some instances are higher,” said John H. Duys, presi- dent of H.'Duys Co., Ing., leading im. porters of Sumatra and Java tobacco. “The farmers in Connecticut and Wisconsin have pooled their inter- ests. A large portion of the leaf tobacco crops of those states are now being sold through a pool and it is likely that Pennsylvania and. Ohio growers will follow their ex=- ample.” It is for this reason that it is most unlikely that lower prices for ‘American grown leaf tobaccos will obtain in: the near future. Havana Crop Short. “The last Havana crop was short and prices on Havana tobacco now prevailing are likewise extremely high. Uniess there is rainfall in tha Santa Clara and Remedios districts of Cuba within the next ten days the new Cuban crop will be small, al: though a tremendous acreage has been planted. This will mean enor- mous prices for Cuban tobaccos later this year. “So far as Java and Sumatra tobac- cos are concerned—and these wrap- Pper tobaccos are,used to cover about one-half the cigars manufactured in the United States—the supply of these materials is limited, and is all in manufacturers’ hands.” The new crops which will be sold in Amsterdam within the next few months are ex- pected to bring extremely high prices. “It seems to me that the only rem- edy for the cigar manufacturer, in order to reimburse himself for the ever-increasing cogt of his raw ma- terial, will be to increase the price of his cigars. This will be a very dif- ficult matter—so far as the retailer is concerned—as the public |5 insist- ing upon_better cigar values and lower prices.” Canadlans Call for Coal. Proposals of fuel administrators of New .York and the New England tates that anthracite shipments to Canada be cut off in order that this fuel be diverted to fill shortages with- in the Unifed States has met with vigorous opposition from the othér side of the border. Canada admitted today she was badly up against it for” coal, despite the declaration of an. open market for the Welsh produc and experiments with peat beds. The Canadian government spent more than $400.000 in experimenting with {peat. Which it was clalmed could be furnished Canadian consumers at $6.50 a ton. The experiments did not produce tangible resvits, the Welsh imports seem far in the future, and generai opinion in the Deminion blames the | fuel shortage on the fact that Canada - jdid not let well enough alone, and disturbed a perfectly good working arrangement with the United States.
