The Hawaiian gazette., 1896-11-20

lnucn on CuDa, ABOUT winch ntIle can
be said, and upon consumption, which
apparently has been stationary last
season, as it has sometimes appeared
before, but which figure corrected it
self in the following year.
1t certainly seems that we can do
without Cuba, provided we get liberal
sowings next spring, and these will
then depend quite as much on the
price OF sugar as Of grain, which re-
quire close watching. AS to crop es-
Inmates, the factories have now also
issued their estimates, which during
the last two years have been 500, 900
tons and 100000 tons below the yield,
so that LIGHTS figures are considered
nearest the mark.
In Germany the extra weight of roots
per acre Is to II per cent in chief prov
inces) more than compensates for in
ferior quality COG to 0.9 polarization),
but final yields everywhere are depen-
dent upon autumn weather and good
keeping of the roots, which will still
remain the finally determining factor
in all estimates. In the face of large
prospective supplies, there has been no
increase of business on the part of
trade, and the cautious policy adopted
in Europe and in America, seems as
yet not unwarranted. We give latest
estimates of new beet crop under date
of October 22d, as follows:
1896-1S97, LIGHT, 100000 tons; Gle
seeker, 4,645,00 tons. The yield in. 1896
So was 1928, S99 tons; 1S9495, 4,792, $50
tons. LIGHTS estimate of the cane
crop for 1867 is 1855, 900 tons. In
1896, the crop was 2,704,447 tons;
1S94-95, 2,S5O,615 tons
Our latest mail advices from New
York of Nov. 4, state that the market
for the few days past has been more or
less restricted, on account of the cleo
ton with a very strong undertone, and
with buyers of centrifugals and no
sellers at last quotations of SIC for
SO test; and for Muscovados 27sc for
SO test 1t now depends upon the Eu-
ropean markets for a day or two,
whether next sales will be at higher
range The tone of the market is GER
tainly confident and aggressive.
