Increase, 1859 SCISSORS b
The increase Of sugars Is quite large, doubtless
caused in part py the desire to push sugars into the
California market to take advantage OF the high
prices ruling there the past five months. The large
increase III coffee was caused from the TACT that
there had been no market for the article FOR several
months past and the stock had accumulated, being
sent forward during the quarter owing to q sudden
demand for 1t in California and Oregon. The sugar
crop for the year Will not be much larger than last
year, while 1t Is doubted II the coffee Will be as
large.
Inc White Pine fever has taken hold of
several parties on these islands, and should
the very nattering reports winch pour in
us be sustained for month or two
there will be quite exodus Of venturesOme for
eigners from these Islands. Exchange on San Fran
CISCO and the East Ia scarce and rules high. Specie
is being shipped by this steamer shippers preferrng
pay freight and insurance. The splendid Opportu-
nifty FOR Investments in lands IN and about San
Francisco has also had its effect 10 drain our money
market. Should money continue TO go out OF these
for the year AZ it has IN the past year the
eject upon the islands must OF necessity be very
damaging. It IL very evident that the future pros
perlry OF this kingdom depends entirely upon Cantor
MIA anu other Pacific States. Annexation to the United
states, or radical change In the administration Of
affairs here, which would insure a more friendly
regard for the interests OF Americans, can alone
the country from financial ruin.

very active in his preparations and has already re-
duced himself considerably since the light

probably not fight much under 200 pounds. Present
circumstances seem to indicate that the affair Will
be very resolutely contested The arrangements for
the encounter have been partly completed. There

what belonged to the Stage Company, and
you can't buy pound at any price They
discharge any hostler who sells hay or GRAIN
from their stations, and our horses had 10
live on sage brush and We came near being
aioot before We got in TO this place. The
stage Company have purchased just enough
Tor their own stock and don't blame them
for not selling it, If you come, come by
stage. for there is nothing saved by coming
through on q mustang, and you are twice as
long on the road and exposed to all the
storms The best, cheapest and quickest
say TO come is by stage and railroad and
then you have no trouble with horse, which
you can't sell for anything when you want
10 sell 1t, and you can't turn it out for there
