SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. I6, 1886.
DEAR SIR: Our last circular was
dated Dec. 3Ist, 1885, per Australia"
Sugar-The condition of the local
market remains unchanged
The New York market for raws has
continued quiet, with very little de-
mand from rehneries, and a heavy
feeling has prevailed. Few purchases
have been made from the spot supply
in importers hands, rehners' stocks in
bond and direct importations having
been sufficient for the present moder-
ate daily MEETINGS. The few sales made
have been on basis of S 9-I6 to 1I-I6
for fair to good refining and 6 "a cent
for Centrifugals GO per cent test.
Since the 9th inst. the London mar
ket has ruled dull, and beets have
steadily declined. Gables of yesterday
state that the Bears are forcing sales,
and beets 88 per cent test declined to
ID TO, but afterwards reached to IS,
at which figure the market closed steady.
Present prices are too low to last.
Telegraphic advices from New York
of to-day state that On cent is still
asked for centrifugals to 90 per cent
test, but quotations are nominal and
trade depressed Sales can only be
made at a reduction on quotations, and
this is owing entirely to the beet decline
We quote from Messrs Wlllett and
Hamlins circular Of January 9TH, as
follows: "The net MEETINGS for 1885

The average daily melting in 1885,

The course of prices during 1885 was
as follows; Fair refining opened IN jan

in January, declined gradually to 4 g.
10 cents in April, advanced steadily to
52s cents in June and July, and after
a reaction of cent resumed the up

close of the year, bringing the quot
alton to where it was in March, 1884,

these, the following, which are to
be regular features of the paper. The
first number of every month contains
the list of Portuguese letters remaining
| in the Post-office; the middle number
| gives a very comprehensive and exact
table of the arrivals and departures of
all the foreign steamers, a useful thing
which the Las0 has been the only one
in the local press to give its readers;
the last number contains a complete
calendar for the next month, which can
not fail to be received with satisfaction
on the plantations. The present num-
Der which gives the usual large amount
Of local and foreign news, also pub
fishes an official report on the financial
situation Of the Portuguese benevolent
society 'Iusitana" which makes very
creditable showing, having over S., 900
to its credit, outside OF the monthly
dues.
They say: That there we're some
startling developments at the Police
Court yesterday morning; that the gay
native boys of Nuuanu Valley make
lots Of unnecessary noise when they are
out serenadlng O nights; that the streets
still remain in miserable condition;
that the next skating race at the Yose-
mite skating rink will be a genuine
glide; that the political phases Of pre-
sent campaign are taking some
curiously liquid turns; that the natives
declare they will drink Government
gin and then vote for the Oppo-
sition ticket; that the discrimina-
tons alleged against the American
shipping lines are all in "your eye" as
the owners of the gentle organ know;
that the matter of Hawaiian silver
coinage and Hawaiian commercial
values are very closely related; that the
tax certificates will raise political
trouble before the elections is over;
that the natives are holding political
meetings upon every corner; that their
tenor is generally in favor of the Oppo-
sition; that the weather is becoming
quite tropical; that the fashion of
ladies hats will be changed again this
fall; that the little wall of "Lahaina
o, Lahaina" will be changed into a
sad reality before many days; that the
political ties which bind some men to
the Government cause will be snapped
Immediately after the present election,
no matter which way it goes; that
cold political wave is about to stike
Hawaii; that the mango trees will bear
big crops this year; that the ways Of
some men in Honolulu are only appar-
emily beyond finding out; and that

The Latest American Invention.
THE VICTORY OF ELEcTRTcrTY.

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have
been directed TO construct a lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, is that none of
the inventors could rid themselves of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system Of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead Of first laying down the principle that a
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator Of Elec-
tricity in itself, i. e., in the foot Of the Lamp.
The Norman Electric Light Company has
Mt last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about a complete revolution in all
branches of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
Of lighting will be as cheap as gas ~ cents
per hour, and it has before the latter the i'm
mense advantage Of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
degree Of temperature 1t is further abso-
lutey inodorous, and does not need to be
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case
Of gas, if the key is left open and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu-
able. 1t is further preferable to any known
kind Of lighting for the following reasons
~ Its manipulation is so simple that any
child can keep it in order
(2,) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another.
(3) That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing of the wick, or the cleaning OF the
cylinder as in the case of Oil Lamps.
(4.) That the light produced is a soft and
most steady one that it never Aickers, and
the flame, though being equal in power Of
lighting to gas, can be regulated to any de-
gree.
81 That every danger Of IRE is absolutely
excluded, as the light will extinguish immedi-
ately, II by any accident the glass surrounding
The burner should be broken.
(6.) That it will burn, even in the strongest
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for Examinations, lighting of gardens,
corridors, etc.
This Lamp is constructed for the present in
three different sizes;
