RESORTS AMERICAN CAPITAL IN SUGAR INDUSTRY About 30,000 U. S. Investors Have Cuban Interests, Of- ficial Here Says. BY HARDEN COLFAX. Disclosure of the extent to which American capital has been invested in the Cuban sugar industry—presum- ably of greater value to the Tariff Commission and the President in any readjustment sought or contemplated with respect to the sugar tariff— has just been made officially for the first time by the Cuban embassy here. The investment, according to Arturo Padro, Cuban charge ceeds $1,000,000,000. ‘In a very literal sense,” the charge asserts, ban sugar production is an American enterprise. More than 60 cent_of the Cuban crop of 192 or 2,452,304 tons of sugar, came from American-owned mills.” 30,000 American Tnvestors.

After pointing that American- owned sugar propertie duced that year a tot tons, Senor Padro cont “Those 2,452.304 tons were 210,000 tons more than the total sugar produced under t rican in continental United States and sland possessions.

BALTIMORE, April 11 (Special).— The local egg market held up re- markably well the past week con- sidering how other leading markets eased off during the latter part of the week. Receipts have been lib- eral all week, but the Easter demand was good and practically all desir- able stock cleaned up from day, lea ing no accumulations on hand. The market closed firm today at 281 cents a dozen for native and nearby firsts in free cases, a decrease of only % to % of a cent a dozen from opening prices on Monday. With the holiday demand supplied, however, the out- look for next week is rather uncer- tain and depends entirely on how ac- tive the packers will be in the market and weather conditions, as at this time of the year it is a day to day on of uncertainty. Prompt nts are advisable, while con- are favorable. poultry market rules gen- ady under only moderate pts of desirable fowl and a fairly tive demand prevailing. Market for young chickens continues very firm, especially for Springers and Winter stock, which are wanted at 50 and 60 a pound for the former and 45 to 50 for the latter. Leghorns will not bring top values and sell mostly at the lower prices quoted. Young, large, smooth chickens are selling to 38, and rough, poor stags, 25 to 27 Medium to fat old hens continue in good demand at to 30, with no surplus of this sort in the daily arric- als, but small and Leghorns will not bring over 25.

Market for ducks is easy under fair receipts of choice fat stock and de- mand easily satisfied at 28 to 30 and for small and poor. inea fowls and pigeons in good demand and market holds steady at 90 and 1.00 each for young and 50 and 60 each for old of the former and 50 cents a pair for both young and old of the latter. With the excep- tion of capons, which are in good de- mand at 40 to 45 a pound for large, 6 to 40 for medium, and 33 to 35 for small slips, the live poultry season is about over and further shipme not advisable, as buyers prefer live stock and dressed not bring any premium over live quotations. . Recelpts of white potatoes continue fair but equal to the demand, which has eased off since new potatoes came on the market. No. 1 stock will bring 1.25 to 1.35 per 100 Ibs, except reds and McCoy s, which 1.00 to but ungraded No. 2s are not wanted Market for sweet potatoes and y rules steady under fairly good demand centered on first quality No. 1 stock at 0 6.00 a barrel for the former and 4.50 to 5.50 for the latter.

Copper developed more steadiness. Moderate offerings were around the 133 -cent level ear week, and the market showed an im- proved tone later on rather more favora- ble March statistics than expected, re- ports of firmness in London and a slight- ly better demand from both exporters and domestic consumers. This appeared to be supplied at a slight advance from the lowest, however, and while some pro- ducers were asking higher prices, elec- trolytic was still avallable at 13% cents in the end week market. Tin showed weakness, following Lon- don declines. Aside from the automobile industry, which reported a good con- sumption of tin products, other indus- tries were quiet, creating an unfavora- ble sentiment Lead ruled steady, and producers re- ported a good volnme of sales at the re- cent declines, with stocks low in the hands of both producers and con- sumers.

SENSATIONAL RISE IN GRAIN MARKETS Reduced World Crop Estimates Cause Overwhelming Rush to Buy Futures. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 11.—In an over- whelming rush to buy wheat today the wheat market here made an ad- vance of 10 cents a bushel. The United States Government crop re- port was much more bullish than the majority of traders had looked for and the entire supply and demand outlook was radically changed. Even without the probably big increased shortage of domestic Winter wheat as shown by the Government report the adjustment of worid supplies had been conceded to be a close one. When, therefore, the Liverpool market advanced today 7% pence, a rise greatly in excess of what had been expected, the market here went wild. Chicago opening prices, which ranged from 4 to 7% cents higher, with May 158 to 160 and July 143 to 144, were tollowed by a reaction to 157% for May and then by a jump. to 162% for May. In the late trading wheat prices held near to the day’'s top figures. Among the factors which kept the market taut, was a reduced crop esti- mate from India and advices that Rumania and Spain had removed im- port dutles on wheat. Besides, recent rains in the domestic Winter wheat belt were said to be inadequate. The close wis strong, 5% ts to 9% cents net higher; May to 162% and July 146% to 146% Flurried buying on the previous sellers carried the corn market sharply upward in the late dealings. The close was strong, 4 to 5% cents net higher; May 110% to 11%. Winnipeg Market Wild.
