AMERICAN SUGAR SUPPLIES.

A writer in the New York Journal of
Commerce has endeavored to set right
the general misunderstanding among
the buyers of refined sugars as to the
seriousness of the loss of the Cuban
sugar crop to the United States. After
collecting data from those best in
formed upon the conditions in various
countries, he has made an estimate for
the future that will be of interest to all
sugar planters, as well as the buyers
of refined sugar. The total stock in the
United States on March /, at four ports,
is placed at 10000 tons. The require
ments of the United States retineries
from March to October / is estimated
at 1,SO5, 200.
To supply this demand there is Cuban
stock of March 1 amounting to $4,000
tons; Cuban production for export, So
900 tons; West India crop, 100000 tons;
Brazil. $4,000 tons; Egyptian balance to
come, $4,000 tons; Java still to arrive,
10000 tons; Manila, $4,000 tons, and
Madras and Maritius, 5000 tons, max
ing the total of cane sugar likely to be
received on the Eastern coast up to Oc-
tober l, $4,000 tons. Thus, to meet the
demands of the market, the American
refineries will require 603, 900 from beet
sugar Allowing 100000 tons for vari-
alton, the writer estimates that the
smallest amount of beet sugar that will
be required will be no less than 100000
In making this general review, the
refneries of the West Coast are not
taken into consideration, as they will
be provided by Hawaii and their own
production, and in the 1000 tons al
lowed for variation, allowance is made
for the small amount of sugar that may
be received at New York from this
country. No comments are made upon
the situation, the figures being suf-
ficient evidence for the refiner to pom
der over. There may be a certain am
cunt of satisfaction in the thought that
what is one mans loss is another's
gain.

The New Zealand Herald character
ICES Sir Audley Coote and Sir John Pen
der, the late chairman of the Eastern
cable combination, as two lions in the
path of our Pacific cable enterprise -
Continuing, the Herald says:
But they have both long since been
located. measured and weighed, and
their Vaccinations of failure, equally
with their proffers of assistance, have
been fixed at their just value. All who
are sincere in their desire for the Aus
tralian- Canadian cable, whether in Can
ada or these colonies, are fully alive to
the fact that the two most insiduous
enemies to be watched have been Mr..
Audley Coote and the chairman of the
existing Eastern cables, more especially
when they are offering advice and as
sistance."
Without entering upon discussion
of the merits of Sir Audley Coote or any
of the individuals or companies inter-
ested in the Pacific cable business, it is
safe to say that the situation is fast re-
solving itself into a case of too many
cooks spoil the broth" The alaerity
with which different companies come
forward as soon as any businesslike
move is made by any of the countries
interested ought to suggest to the repre-
sentatiyes of the various governments
that possibly the Pacific cable isn't
such losing financial game after all.
II the competing companies continue to

The tables from which the figures OF
tax returns were taken were up % De-
sember 81, 1895. Since then, according
10 information furnished from the tax
Office. there have been $4,000 odd OF de-
hnquent taxes paid in Honolulu district
alone, and the other districts o. the
Islands have also made collections.
There will shortly be some six or seven
hundred summonses issued for ieiin-
quent taxpayers, but summons can
not be issued until after the delinquent
list has been published. From this it
will be seen that the eight per cent Of
delinquent taxes due December 81, 1895,
has been materially reduced, and that
the tax collectors are awake to the ex-
igencies of the case.
