Sugar Situation "Statistically," nib Lntnbern ' Ce., "there is much feed for UieurI in the fact that Cuban stocks of rn sugar are today only 131,000 tern which will be consumed by the end the year. Yet, nt the opening of 11(22 the trade waS worrying ever a carry ever in Cuba of 1,300,000 tens, and in addition, has since then witnessed it crop of 4,000,000 tens, or, in ether words, a total available supply of 5,300,000 tens, virtuully nil of which, as stated, has bcru consumed. "What a change in the situation en January I. 1023, from the prevlou prevleu j car J Ne Cubun carry-ever nnd a smaller domestic beet crop, which, moreover, because of prevailing 1ukI prices, will have been marketed te u greater extent than usual before the end of 1022. Even if there should be another 4,000,000-ten crop in Cuba the coming season and in view of possible reduced sucrose content mid smaller plantings of new cane there arc these who believe this limit will net be reached there is bound te be en eager demand from Europe as well as from American refineries." Rumors of Distress Fer some few days the market dis trict has been full of eiled rumors, coming by the famous grape-vine route, of distress resulting from conditions that prevailed at and around the boom period of 1010, when stocks were ac cumulated at extravagant prices and en which severe losses have gcncrully been accumulated. It is stated, however, by reliable authority, and who should be in posi tion te knew, accounts in which these high-cost issues hute been curried were practically placed in discard long nge. They con hnfdly be considered mnrket influences, In consequence, except for regrets nnd memories of these who lime been imelved in the losing eper atiens. Net a null Argument Ne better illustration of tlie radical chance In the temper of speculative sentiment could be presented than In the iccwater bath glvet,' te (lie an nouncement of the Uuthlvlicm Steel and Mldwile Steel merger. Nut many weeks age this bit of news would lme started off a big display of bullish iij ret f clinics, it Is argued new that, while the taking eer of Mldwilc I bv lietlileliem Steel will no doubt place I the parent company in a better posi pesi posi tien te compete with the United States Steel Corporation, the fact that a large stock issue will be th" menus employed te acquire the Mldvale company would seem te place the lietlileliem Steel divi dend in jeopardy. It is also felt ether Independent steel companies, such as Crucible Steel, lie public Iren nnd Steel and Sles-Shef field, would seem te have little oppor tunity te compete successfully with the Slecl I orperntlon iiiiUit present condi tion!!. Copper-. Merger Rumors The Improvement In the copper metal market Is credited by some authorities of the trade directly te the reports of a merger of the Anucenda Copper Milling empaay and the Chile Copper Com Cem any. Wille nothing official has come ut, It Is admitted in usually well-In-'erracd quarters that such a deal Is being considered and may be closed in net distant future. This, arenrrilnv fn miu mm wuiU be one of the greatest stabilizers that has come Inte the copper metal market for years. Consumers, they say, have apparently realised the Importance of such n combination, as indented In their willingness te cover their future needs In the red metal. It Is virtually certain that the eon summation of such a consolidation would mean the end of price-cutting for tome time. The Chile Copper Interests, lecnuse of the low cost of production, ave alwnys been- nole te undersell de- nestle producers end have dene se, ae- erding te trade report, every time the utirltct bus become sluggish and the de- mind hns fallen off.

Anether Severe Test Yesterday's stock mnrket was called n te stand another iicule test of Its tiylng power mid underlying strength, lopes of u fu 1 attendance en the fleer entrastlng with Saturday's nbsontce nbsentce sin made many confident the new week would martt a vigorous recovery. This feeling was reflected In advances during the early forenoon, when many stocks made gains ranging from 1 te mere than S points, and for n time there was en absence of pressure and n scantiness of supply. The afternoon market, however, was a reverse of the first .half of the day, stocks again being thrown en the mar ket in large volume nnd gains looked en with such satisfaction were quickly turned Inte severe losses. The reces sions were grtest in stocks in which there h:u bee.i u high degree et specu lativA liiterext. tneliiHItiff Tlnldwln Le cometive, Htudcbakcr, l!ern Products nnd a number of the oil shares. United States Steel was watched with special Interest because of a theory that its movements would indicate the general market situation. When It yielded te a new low for the movement It helped te unsettle the speculative situation gener ally. Rallies came from low levels of the afternoon, but the upturns were net regarded as of Importance, but looked en as simply recording the usual varia tions which carne in downward move ments.
