wal. and are greatly appreciated for
flavor as well as appearance. San
Francisco will draw more of its APP
plies during the season from Auck-
land and Tasmania, with the prefer
ence for the former. Only they
should be carried in cool place.
A great many of the Tasmanian APP
Piles were cooked in the Monowai by
reason of the heat.
Raw sugar was quoted yesterday
at New York at 3-1Gc. to SIC. for
80 and SO test respectively, with firm
market. Hawaiian sugar has still an
advantage of 1c. per pound between
l6 and 20 Dutch standard. Up to
No. 10 Dutch standard in color sugar
is free; from l6 to 20 duty of 9c.
per pound is levied. This advantage
has been secured under special act
which declares that the Mckinley
tariff did not impair the Hawaiian
treaty. 1t is now for the planters to
consider whether they will make SUI
gar to entitle them to this tariff adj
vantage.
A convention has been concluded
with Spain which gives the United
States command of the Cuban and
Porto Rico markets in return for free
sugar, tea, hides and molasses.
Other conventions with other sugar.
countries will follow, to the enor-
nous advantage of American farm
ers who are being gradually educated
IN free trade doctrines by the reci-
procal policy of the Blaine wing of
the Protectionist party.
Great preparations are being made
for the reception of President Har-
rison at San Francisco. He is to
arrive here on Saturday next. Dur
ing his southern tour the President
has been enthusiastically received.
AT Galveston, Texas, he delivere ! a
very strong speech IN favor of reel
procity and steamship subsidies. He
is accompanied by Postmaster Cen
eral Wannamaker. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the President cannot ex-
tend his tour to Honolulu; but a
glimpse of Paradise is denied to
the ruler of sixty millions whose Of
fetal duties confine him to his own
country.
The tourist season promises to be
active. A great impetus to tourist
travel may be given by the Volcano
House Company, organized at Homo
lulu, if it advertises judiclously, and
guarantees frstclass accommodation
and transportation on the Islands at
reasonable rates. 1t is in competi-
ton with the European tour and
must make concessions to divert the
stream of travel to Honolulu.
The Alta today announces the ncor-
poration of the Ell Dorado Sugar Re-
tinery Company yesterday. The di-
rectors are not named but street
rumor identifies Mr.. Steele with it.
He went East recently to interest
capital in such an enterprise accord
ing TO the local papers. The exist
ing refneres are capable of turning
out great deal more sugar than
supplies the Coast consumption, and
the new refinery would only have the
effect of increasing the surplus and
lowering prices, which is not what
your planters want.
There has been a cessation of false
and slanderous press statements from
the Islands for some time past, that
is, neither the Monowai nor Austria
liza brought fresh libels on individuals
or misrepresentation of state affairs
and policy. A great deal of mischief
has been done, and false impress
sion created, which it will take a
long time to overcome. 1t is regret
table that an authorized official de-
NAL of these falsifications was not
made at the time; but perhaps ST.
lence was the best comment, although
to the majority this looked like silent
acquiescence, and that is unfortu-
nate.
The Hawaiian colony in San Fran
cisco are evidently enjoying them
selves. Hon. VIM. II. Cornwell and
Hon. f. G. Macfarlane contemplate
Il run East but are undecided. Mrs.
S. Parker, wife of His Excellency
Saml. Parker, is at the Palace Hotel.
