SLACKENING OF

PRODUCTION 15 GOING ON
Government'! Move In Sugar Investi
gation Had an Unfavorable Effect
on Market
New York. With recent buying
movements showing further signs of.
Blackening, a somewhat more cau
tious tone was apparent In financial
and commercial circles during the
past week. This was attributed part
ly to the fact that consumers are now
covering for some time ahead and
partly t othe passing of special de
mands occasioned by the spring sea
son. It also seem, to be the news
that the numerous wage Increases
have had a sobering effect in some
quarters. In any event, the change
In sentiment was due not to apprehen
sions lest the business revival may
have reached it peak but to misgivings
lest the advance in prices and cost
la in danger of being overdone.-,.
A specific unsettling factor in the
commodity markets was the 'attorney
general's petition for an Injunction to
restrain trading In sugar futures at
New York. In this petition the attor
ney general takes the ground that the
rise in the price of raw sugar which
has taken place since February 1, has
had no economic juctiflcation and that
ft has resulted from a combination
and conspiracy by the sugar ex
change, its officers and members and
their clients or principals. In rebut
tal the trade maintains that the rise
In prices has occurred In response to
growing indications of a smaller Cu
ban crop, and points to the fact that
the Himely estimate, which is empha
sibed in the attorney general's peti
tion, was reduced from 4,102,857- tons
to 3,750,000 tons..
Whatever the merits of the case
may be, it Ms clear that the petition
exercised an unfavorable effect on
sentiment In commodity markets.
Sugar futures reacted, sharply and
then steadied, the spot commodity
meanwhile easing slightly and then
recovering to the previous high price,
thus reflecting the opinion held by
refiners that lower prices are not like
ly to prevail. Cotton meanwhile
turned 'distinctively heavy, the May
delivery losing about 1 3-4 cents and
closing the week only slightly above
27 cents. Wheat prices also reacted
after recent strength. While both of
these commodities moved partly in
relation to factors peculiar to them
selves, such as weather condition? It
was believed In most quarters that
the government's theory in the sugar
matter had unsettled sentiment. It
was also felt, however, that this par
ticular action was not to be accepted
as setting up a principle to be fol
lowed in the case of the other ex
changes, i

ised at the White House, where it was

a premature announcement. It was

to remain Inactive against the liquor
smuggling fleet if there were any
means to prevent it. Confidence was
expressed that some method of effec
tively dealing with the situation could
be found. ' ,
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes

vesels against the 'rum runners but
this plan so far has met with op
position from Secretary Denby of the
