Thousands of tons of crude rubber in excess of the amount permitted for export under the socalled Stevenson restriction plan have been hustled into ports" in the Far East, whence it has made its way to this and other countries. About 24,000 tons has been shipped from Singapore and 2400 tons from Colombo within the last fortnight. In addition to the amount smuggled from the straits settlements plantations, the colonial authorities have allowed an increase of five percent in the tonnage which may be shipped without incurring heavy export tix penalties. Say Not Justified. This increase went into effect May 1 and will continue for three months.

Rubber men here declared the increase was not warranted as the Stevenson regulation provides that the amount permitted for export shall be increased only if the price of rubber throughout the previous three months period shall have averaged 18 pence (or approximately 35 cents a pound). Average prices in February, March and April did not attain that level in world markets, rubber men assert. They say, however, that strong pressure for an increase was brought to bear by planters.

Great Britain has become a decided factor in the price of sugar. Demand for Cuban raws from England is stiffening prices in the market here. Bids of six cents a pound by British representatives in Cuba have gone taken, producers holding firmly for higher levels. Word from the west Indicates that the growers of practically every sugar beet section in Utah, Idaho and Colorado have signed up for the 1923 crop and that the yield this year will be 20 to 25 percent above that of 1922.

Editor New York CommerciaL major building operations that can EW YORK-, May 12 (By United deferred until market conditions pere Marquette are more favorable. 1 Republic steel declines in the stock market have carried the level of values to the lowest point of the year, much lower in fact than the present condition of business warrants. There has been no change in basic conditions that would account for it, so that in our search for a reason we must go into intangible sources. It is a matter of that our prosperity cannot last, fear of inflation. of over production, of hostile railroad legislation, of strikes, and goodness knows what else.

It is a state of mind. No Dangerous As a matter of fact we have nothing to be afraid of. There is no inflation worthy of the name. Commodity prices, even with such advances as have taken place, are still 30 percent below the peak of 1920. There Is therefore no excuse for a strike, for the very good reason that prices are not higher than conditions warrant.

What has amounted to something in the nature of a strike has made Itself apparent in the building trades, but when carefully analyzed it can only be considered as a constructive factor. It is not a strike in the of inability to pay the prices asked, but is merely a recognition on the part of the large interests that this is not the time to go ahead with kre more favorable. This plan is being followed in other I parts of the country, not because there do New York is an end to the demand, but because 1 Texas Company there is not the available labor sup- i Coal 011 ply to care for these additional pro- ay aVa sh a I jecti. cm U.

The important fact is that the corporation has orders booked for more than 7,000,000 tons of steel, sufficient to keep it in operation at present capacity, which la about maximum, for the next six months without booking new orders.

In 1913, when work had been put under way on the Elephant Butte dam, the population of Fabens was 400. At the close of 1922 the population had increased to 2000 and the town is steadily growing. The cotton boom of last year has caused much new land at Fabens to be put in cultivation. The increase in population of the towns of the entire project, including 11 Paso, has been from 74,918 to 110,42 between 1913 and 1922. El COUXTY COURT AT LAW.
