THE AVIS"
C-HRISIIANSTED, ST. CROIX
Wednesday, January 18th 1881.

On Monday the 3rd inst, q meeting
of planters was held at the Club here
in town in order to fix the terms on
which canes should be offered to
the Factory in the coming season.
The estates below mentioned agreed
20 deliver canes to the Factory, re-
newing the old contracts, but with the
following notifications
The price to be raised from 81 lbs.
to s lbs. sugar for each 100 lbs
n the Factory can refuse to
receive the canes, when the juice
does not contain II per cent of sugar:
the price of sugar to be fixed and pay
ment to be made every week instead
of every IA days as heretofore: in
case the factory cannot take canes
during fourteen days the estates can
go on with their crop until the Fac
tory resumes work: cut on
estates in accordance with the con-
tracts are to be taken by the Factory:
the scales are to be adjusted as often
as necessary, and may at any time
be examined by cane-deliverers the
contracts a be annulled from either
side provided warning is given by
any Of the cane deliverers before the
18th of June every year for the crop
in the next season, and by the Fac
tory before the 1st of July.
The Estates that have agreed in
the above are Diamond & Ruby f;
Hope; Cane Garden & Granard;
Work-and- Rest, Grange, Humbug
and Retreat; Barren Spot; Slob;
Morning Star; Annals Hope; st.
Johns; Sion Farm, and Peters Rest ;
Montpelier Great Princess; Glynn,
and Windsor; Castle Coakley and
Pearl; & Manning shay.

The Manager Of the Factory, Mr..
Wassard, attended during the meet
ing, on the invitation Of the planters
present; but he. has not yet given
any definite answer to the proposals,
as several estates within range of the
stations have not yet declared them
selves. We sincerely hope that these
will follow the example given by the
above mentioned estates, so that the
Factory may be able to work in the
coming season with a full supply Of
canes, and thus be able to develop its
capacities to their full extent.
Referring to the translations from
DANISH papers found in another
column we can only express the hope
that planters will not allow the I'M
warrantable and abusive attack made
upon them by Director Tietgen to
influence their bearing towards the
Factory. For what may be said in
answer to this attack we may refer to
the doubts expressed in regard to
Mr. Tietgen's view by an.inhuential
member of the Folkething, Mr.. q.
Berg, in his letter to the Morgenblad.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
OF ST. CROIX CENTRAL
FACTORY COMPANY.

The following notice of the Annual
Meeting of the Central Factory Com
pany is translated from the Dagblad
Of December.
"This Company held its annual
General meeting yesterday evening.
State Councillor Tietgen remarked
hat as no shareholders except the
Auditors had met Cater however a
few more came I'M it would not be
necessary to choose a chairman. He
t~hereupon presented the Report.
State Councillor Tietgen first recalled
hat the loss in the first year Of the
Company's working had amounted to
296,851 Kr. and in the second year to
1926 Kr., not including however
in these amounts the sums to be writ
ten off the Inventory &c. The total
loss in the two years, when every
thing was reckoned, was about
$4,000 Kr. (say Sl46, 0O0). The
Auditors had made some remarks on
the preceding years accounts, of
which the most essential was that the
interest of percent, guaranteed to the
Shareholders by the Colonial Treasu-
ry had not been paid. The speaker
explained in this connection, that the
account for the first year of working
had been accepted as correct by the
Government, who in regard to it had
referred to the Ministry of Finance,
from which Department however no
answer had yet been received. The
accounts for the past working year
had not yet been completed, and on
this ground a wish had been express
ed that the meeting should be post
poned so as 10 fall after the compile
ton of the accounts !; this would also
be done when first the accounts had
acquired the form which would be
agreeable to the shareholders, that is
when they showed a profit. SO long
as this was not the case il was much
the same thing whether the accounts
were finished a little before or a little
after the General Meeting.
The working Of the Factory IN the
past year had again had its difficulties
to contend with. In the first year
the difficulties had been caused
by the condensers, the second
year they came from the water,
and during the past year they
came from the wind. The coal ships
on account of this could not come in
and consequently operations were
not commenced till the 21st February
when four stations were set to work,
and not till the Goth of February,
were all the stations going. There

the work was continued without inter-
ruption from the oath Of April to the
10th of June. The Planters had
regarded the contracts entered into
by them with a delightful indifference
(elksv@rdig Nonchalence) and FIVE
estates had even entirely neglected to.
fulfil their duty in regard to the de-
livery of canes, while others had
given only half of their crop. The
Factory had therefore been in full
work for only IS days days of "a
hours each) in which period it had
worked up 5S,447, 0OOlbs. of canes,
answering to 967, OOolbs. of sugar.
The product. obtained from the canes
had been in a pleasing progression.
In 1878 there were produced from
each IO0lbs of 5 Sho lbs. sugar,
in 1879 there were produced Clio lbs.
and in 1880 there were produced
7'' 100 lbs. The sugar produced
amounted to 20,660 bags of 204 lbs.
each.
There was paid to the planters for
$3.50, 644. According to q
preliminary reckoning the whole
expenses for the year have been
1924. 727, and the whole income
$228, 500. There will, according to
this, be a balance of about $4,000 Kr.,
which is as good as nothing.
The speaker called to mind that an
exactly similar state of things had
been shewn by the beet sugar facto-
ries here in the country. (Denmark.)
These had given a balance to debit
the first two years, and a profit Of
$4,000 Kr. the third year, after
which the profits had been very II
siderable. He expressed the hope
that the St. Croix factory would make
similar progress, and then presented
the accounts for acceptance.
Nh. IA. Melchior would put in a
word for the planters. They had
perhaps not always come forward to
meet the factory, but in this they
were. partly excusable, for, neither
had the fact Dry been always able to
receive what the planters brought
The planters therefore had been
compelled to have our to their
own works, and when these had be-
gun to work they could not always be
stopped because Goals had now arriv-
ed at the factory. The difficulties
about coal would however scarcely
occur again, for from what he heard,
the factory was provided with
half the entire stock necessary. (1ies-
gen-"unfortunately it is.")
hi. Teitgen bad not wished to paint
the planters black, thatthey could look
after themselves, but when they had
binding contracts they ought to ful6l
them. It happened SO often that
people entered into contracts which
they repented of afterwards. The
planters had, as it was the use and
custom in st. Croix, taken the law
into their own hands; but there were
however always two parties to a
contract.
The accounts were thereupon pass
ed. Count Lerche was elected a Direc-
tor 10 the room of Count Friis, who
on account of his health had begged

The st. Croix Factory Company held
on Tuesday its annual general meeting.
On this occasion State Councillor Tietgen
according to q report in the Dagblad,
spoke az follows:

tracts entered into by them with q delight

entirely neglected to fulfil their duty ia
