Bn United, Prcsn NEW YORK, May 23.—1n the face of a deficit in SaturdaVs bank statement and the outlook for firmer call money, stocks of the New York Exchange today were firm in early dealings, with United States Steel, and General both rising, the former coming within ’jo of its record. Call money renewed at 4 per cent. The new week started with considerable activity through the list and prices generally higher.

American is reported doing much better than last year, with prospects excellent for the best earnings this year since 1922, when $12.10 was earned on common. Great Western, with its heavy inventory, should benefit from advancing sugar prices. The remainder of the list was firm, with new highs recorded ir. A. M.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. May 23. —In some quarters of the. trade it is expected that offerings of Cuban raws at the 3%e figure will be plentiful; perhaps too large to be absorbed at that price. But the market has experienced such a condition frequently In recent weeks, so there is nothing to worry about. In fact, with further improvement for the statistical position in sight, now that Cuban production has practically ended, the situation, if anything, is stronger. I think futures will recover quickly from any minor setback, and 1 favor their purchase on such dips.

Tuxedo St., for burglars, but found none. Estate Awaits Woman Police sought a Mrs. Johanna Hoeffer today to tell her she has inherited an estate. A telegram from Sanford, Cal., signed by O. D.
