THE W0RLD,s SUGAR CROP.
Fears That the supply VIII Not EQUAL
the Demand

The HawalIan sugar planters are de-
lighted over the favorable prospects OF
high prices for sugar. The Hawaiian crop
will be the largest ever taken off the islands.
amounting to fully $4,000 tons and posi-
bly, more, Notwithstanding the fact that a
very dry season has been experienced. The
highest prices ever received by Hawaiian
planters for their sugar was Z 40 cents per
pound in 1882. Since then the prices
have gradually been decreasing, until two
or three years ago most of the planters
did little more than pay expenses. AT
the present time raw sugar is 733 cents
per pound, so that it has almost reached
the highest price ever experienced Raw
sugar is to-day nearly 1873 cents higher
than 1t was at the same time last year.
Taking the seasons Hawaiian crop at 1885,
600 tons, and allowing an average advance
OF one per cent. per pound over last wears
prices, with the present condition of the
worlds sugar market, it is likely that the
average will be maintained for the whole
crop, and the profits of the Hawaiian
planters increased S2,500,000 over and
above the profits of the year 1888. The
latest reports of the sugar supplies of the
world indicate that there is doubt in the
minds of some of the sugar authorities as
to whether the supplies of raw sugar known
to exist throughout the world will be
equal to the amount required for consump-
ton until next seasons crops begin to ar
rive in November. Telegraphic advices
show very firm market, and those in the
trade who are in position to know, feel
confident that top prices have not as yet
been reached.-San francisco Post.
