SUGAR MARKET.
another Fan in the Price Of Sugar

The San Francisco correspondent OF
the ADVERTISER sends us points regard
ing the fluctuations in the sugar market,
which closed very dull at New York,
May Sth, with drop of one-eighth from
our last previous quotation OF April
oath. The London quotation, May Sth,
for German beet was lbs Cd, an advance
of Cd over the prizes on April oath. The
condition of the New York market is
less excited and uncertain than it was
up to the close of April. On the Goth OF
April the market advanced another 4,
closing at "a cents. The strike was
then at its height Next day the market
weakened, and so continued till the 18th,
when the strikers surrounded the re-
faeries and attempted to prevent them
delivering sugar. The Cuba market has
been firmly held during the strike, ac-
cording to the ''New York Shipping
List" with cargoes now on the way
offered at 3D. cents cost and freight for
SO deg. test centriiugals. Stocks are ac-
cumulating, with no disposition to buy
on the part of refners. The three re-
fneries which are working supply the
local demand. Of refined sugar, the
same New York authority says: The
market has ruled dull and in buyers
favor, but at the lower quotations made
there has been scarcely any demand
and the market l. entirely nominal.
Dealers are evidently not disposed to
pay current prices, and prefer to use up
their old stocks before replenishing.
The market therefore Is without Il fair
test. There is no standard \ here, but
from Boston it was offered at 658 cents.
In San Francisco there has been a
sharp decline in the refined market.
Prices remained unchanged up to May
4th. when the California Refinery issued
the following price list, reducing quota
tions y cent per pound: (A) Pat. Cube
Sugar, I; "a Crushed Sugar, Z; Extra
Powdered Sugar, I; Fine Crushed
Sugar, I; Dry Granulated Sugar, ga ;
Confectioners' \ Sugar, 615; Extra c
Sugar, Ga; Golden c Sugar, 80.
On the 9Th the American Refinery
answered this concession to consumers
by a circular, giving quotations 4 cent
below that OF the California rates upon
all grades. On the day following, this
bluff was met by the California, which
issued a price list a cent under the
American Refinery rates. This was a

The wizard of the North.

Professor Anderson, the great Wizard
of the North, opens a series of his mar
vellous performances on Thursday next
at the Hawaiian Opera House. The
Boston "Daily Globe" of November Is,
1885, says: 1.-THE first appearance in this
city of Professor Anderson, the Great
Wizard of the North, drew large and
cultured audience last evening. His en-
tertainment was the best ever given in
this city. He was assisted by Louise
Maude Anderson, whose well-known
powers as a mind reader called forth
many ordinations of wonder. PROBES
sor Anderson opened the entertainment
with the witchs cauldron, and the won
derful transformation captured the
audience at once. His feats with gold
watch and the mystic bell were marvel
lous, and the whole performance was a
source of pleasure to those who witnessed
it." The sale of seats for the four grand
performances in this city commences on
Tuesday morning at Mr.. Wiseman's,
and the first programme will be given
on Thursday evening. The Professor
has FIVE tons of costly and elaborate
apparatus which VIII be used in his en-
tertainments here, and comprise some of
the most wonderful feats ever witnessed.

NEWS BY THE ALAMEDA.

The general news by the Alameda is
disquieting. Latest advices from Greece
leave no room for hope of a peaceful
solution of the difficulty with Turkey.
There can be little doubt that Greece is
strictly in the right in claiming the ter
ritory awarded to it by the Congress OF
Berlin, in consideration of the Hellenic
Government retaining from an attack
upon the Turkish flank during the late
war with Russia, but the great powers
are not concerned in carrying out their
own award, and have sent feet to Suda
bay to coerce the Greeks into submls-
sion. The result has been to infame the
martial spirit of the Greeks. The ulti-
matum of the powers was rejected, and
all foreign representatives except those
of Russia and Spain have left Athens.
Troops were pushing rapidly to the
northern frontier where Turkish army
had been massing for some time, and
there is hardly doubt that general
engagement has taken place before now.
The attitude of Russia will determine
whether the war will be localized or be-
come general. The latter is probable.
IN the Unlued states SocIaI questions
threaten to disturb the country to dan
gerous extent. There is not very dim
prospect of a social war, although it is
possible to avert it by wise legislation
and resort exclusively to lawful methods.
The employment of professional assas-
sins, or Fighters" by Jay Gould and his
railroad associates, who shot down
peaceful citizens at st. Louis, has done
much to precipitate the struggle, by Civ
ing an excuse to the lawless elements to
retaliate upon capital and authority, as
was done at Chicago We have faith,
however, in the strong practical intelli-
gence of the American people, and are
convinced that solution of the economic
questions involved will be reached with
out social disintegration. The over
shadowing influence and lawless eXer-
else of brute force by great corporations
must be checked on the one hand; and
on the other, the industrial masses must
be convinced that the law is powerful
enough to protect them in all their per-
sonal rights. This being done, way
will be found to arrive at an equitable
method apportioning the profits of indus
try. The New England Granite Works
of Westerly, r. l., has adopted the plan
of sharing net profits with its workmen.
The common laborers who earn 81 20 to
81 80 per day will be entitled to divi-
dend of between $50 and $40 each at the
end of the year upon this cooperative
plan. The men are happy and content,
and they are doing more and better
work for the company. A general adop-
ton of this plan would increase produc-
ton, economic material and do away
with strikes.
The treaty news is not discouraging
Despite the fight against it, there is
really little danger OF its abrogation.

OUR SUPPLEMENT.

By the arrival of the Alameda at an
early hour on Saturday, We were en-
abled to issue a very complete news
summary and deliver it to subscribers
with the ADVERTISER of that day. Our
readers were thus placed in possession
OF a concise record of the worlds news
within an hour of the Royal Mail steamer
reaching the wharf. The news was OF
more than ordinary interest to this King
dom, and led His Excellency the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs to make an i'm
portant statement to the Legislative AS
sembly, in reference to the treaty pOr-
ton of it, during the forenoon. The en-
terprise OF the ADVERTISER in this par
ticular has been recognized by the pub
lie at large.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1886-05-17
THE LEGISLATURE.

Saturdays sitting OF the Legislative
Assembly, although short one, was inn
portant in two particulars. The Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs made a statement
respecting the Reciprocity Treaty with
the United States, having reference par
ticularly to the printed copy OF what pur-
ports to be the draft of the convention
before the Senate, which appeared in
the news supplement of the ADVERTISER
on Saturday 1t had been telegraphed
from Washington to the San Francisco
f'Chronicle," and was published by that
paper. His Excellency pronounced this
document forgery, and it certainly diff
fers from the convention signed by Min
lister Carter and Secretary Lrelinghuy-
sen. which was sent to the Senate for
ratification by President Arthur, but
which has not yet been acted upon. We
have compared it with the authorized
conv of that convention printed in the
anpendix tc the report OF the Minister OF
Foreion Affairs, and find that it contains
an additional article, namely, one con-
ferring exclusive right OF entrance and
occupation OF Pearl River harbor upon

national ships Of the United States.
There is a trifing omission in the pre-
amble as printed in our news supple
ment, but the printer or telegraph oPer-
ator is evidently responsible for 1t. In
fact, therefore, the only change made IS
by the addition OF . new article, which
stands as No. in our supplement.
The telegraphic summary, however,
states that Article II is printed in italics.
This explains the whole business. By
established rule OF the Government
printing Office at Washington, all new or
interpolated matter in any bill or public
document to be laid before Congress for
its action is printed in Italics. The parts
printed in Roman letters embrace the
original document those printed IN
Italics are amendments or suggested
amendments. Thus any one can tell at
a glance that which is original and that
which has been added. 1t therefore fol
lows, unless the Pearl River article Is
entirely bogus, that the Foreign Re
lations Committee adopted an amend
ment to the convention with this King
dom transmitted to the Senate for ratiti'
cation. This is precisely what happened
with the Mexican convention, and the
! amendments made by the Senate were
| accepted and ratified by the Mexican
| Minister at Washington under instruc
tons from his Government. In the cast
! of the Hawaiian Treaty, if the Senate
| adopts the amendment made by TIT
| Foreign Relations Committee, the entire
question will be reopened, and it is 10
| this Government to say whether 1t vii
| accept or reject it. 1t is needless to sa.
that this country could not assent t
such condition, and that His Mlajest
the King would not ratify treaty whicl
| would impair the independence OF tn
| Kingdom Mr.. Gibson's explanatlo
was clear and explicit upon that pom
and left nothing to be added.
The other question OF paramount II
terest in the Assembly was the introduC
ton of a bill authorizing a 6 per cer
loan of 81, 900, 900 for refunding purpose
and the construction OF public works
We reprint the text OF the bill IN al

Beef, Mutton and Ingenuity

From the Academy.
 Human ingenuity has only been very mod erately successful in hurrying on natures methods of manufacturing beef and nut ton. No application of steam will induce a COW to multiply her yield of milk. Thus cattle have not increased as rapidly as popu- lation in Europe, and not more rapidly in the United States. The demands of in dividua1 consumption-the consumption of meat in Europe has risen forty two per cent. per inhabitant during the last thirty years has 10 be met from the resources of Austra- lia and the river Platte, and as the problem of the cheap and easy transport of fresh meat is not yet fully solved, the new supply has not greatly affected the old world price. We find, therefore, rise of price of forty eight per cent. in beef md forty-four per cent. in dairy products since 1850. This more than counterbalances the reduction which improved methods of cultivation and the vast increase in the new cultivated area, rendered possible by cheap transport, have occasioned III all cereals and most plants used as the raw material for manufacturers. So that altogether wheat is four per cent. cheaper-in England twenty per cent.-su- gar over forty per cent. cheaper, tea station | ary, the fact remains as before stated, that agricultural products are eleven per cent. I higher than in 1850. When we consider that | the causes tending to cheapen manufactured | goods will continue to operate, while the causes keeping up the price of meat will re- main and even gradually affect cereals also, we are inclined to hold the opinion that the great agricultural countries will in the future have the pull over those whose conditions limit them essentially to manufacturing in- l duStrieS.
