Editor Reagan, of the Fayetteville

last Thursday, en- route home from a
meeting of the board of trustees of the

Pine Bluff
The indiscriminate manner in which
fire arms are discharged all over the
city every time there is a fire should be
put a stop to. 1t is senseless and
dangerous proceeding and in no way
assists in locating the fire.
We hope the city council will see its
way clear to add one or more hydrants
to the two now located in the north
eastern part of town. There is large

be reached from the nearest hydrant by

floating terms.

'The export bounties allowed by
Germany and Austria have this year
been further increased, and the
French Government has measure I'M
der consideration which is intended to
operate in a similar direction. Those
movements have naturally again re-
vived much of the agitation of former
years in favor of defensive action on
behalf of the industry in the West In
dies, and a commission has been ap-
pointed to inquire into the condition
of sugar making there, in order, it is
believed, to some better understanding
of the subject. 1t might have been
thought that by this time the grievance
as regards both cause and effect had
been pretty well understood, and that
the former rather than the latter called
first for further consideration, if not
for immediate treatment 1t has al
ways been held that in difficulties re-
sulting from palpable injustice the first
duty having been neglected, it is more
than probable that any recommended
lions the commission may ultimately
make are not likely to be of any per-
manent benefit. So long as competi-
ton between cane and beetroot sugar
remains in its present handicapped
condition it appears futile to go beyond
this point in search for remedies. The
British colonies must, it is to be feared
continue to look to the United States
for the chief absorption of their sugar
products, as there the system of tax
ing sugar for revenue and the sur-tax-
ing of bounty-fed sugar provides at
least a fairer field for competition for
the colonial planter than anything the
mother country affords.
'The visible supply at the beginning
of the year was estimated at 100000
tons, against ], 761 900 tons in 1895 In
February the maximum point of 1900
900 tons was reached, and thereafter
the quantities receded until, in Novem-
Der, the minimum point of 100000
tons was touched. The closing esti-
mate is 100000 tons, against 2,544,OOO
tons last year. The estimates of sup
plies at the commencement of each
month, as compared with those of 1895
and 1894, are given as follows:
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-02-26

This shows an increase of 900, 900 tons
on the yield of last year. The esti-
mated addition is solely in beetroot,
which is Is per cent greater than in
1895; in the cane production there is a
decrease of 2 per cent. Against prob
able supply of 1886 tons, as avail
able for the world at large, it would
appear that, judging as far as possible
by the accounts concerning its total
consumption, which may be roughly
estimated at 100000 tons, there is
again an overproduction of somewhere
about 100000 tons. If to the actual pro-
duction of 1S95-96-namely, 7,02S,000
tons-be added the visible quantity at
the beginning of that crop-namely,
1.540, 900 tons-and what remained in
all countries as at September LIST last
namely, 100000 tons-deducted, it
will be seen that 7,36S,O 900 tons repre-
sents the probable consumption of 1896.
Now, if to the estimated crop of 1896
97-namely, 7,615,000 tons-be added
the balance of 1000, 900 tons which re-
manned over from last account, a total
of $685. 1000 tons meanwhile appears to
represent the quantity available to
meet a consumption of about 100000
tons.
'1n foreign refined there has been
an increase in the importations of
about 5000 tons. This trade has more
than doubled itself in 10 years.
"The following table gives the de-
tails of this years importations:
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-02-26

affairs may be too seriously contem-
plated, or perhaps regarded as having
come to stay, it may be more practical
to remember the recuperative quail
ties of the trade. and to await the de-
velopment of a situation which virtual
" means a new departure. In 1890
the average price fell to 12s I'd, while
for 1891, 1892 and 1893 it steadily rose
to lbs Sd, lbs I'd and Us Sd respec-
lively. to fall again in 1894 to lis Cd
This years average, namely, los Sd, is,
with one exception, that of 1895, when
IS Cd was touched, the lowest ever re-
corded. while the actual CURRENT value
Of the day is only 9s 11bd, per cwt.
under the lowest average, and also only
I'D per cwt. above the lowest price
ever previously experienced. The po-
sition. in some of its other phases, is
not so promising, but in any case, the
article, always a ticklish one, and all
that concerns 1t, had better be left to
those whose business it is to deal with
the whole question-as merchants. 1t
is too large a subject for the class who
waken ND the whole city to proclaim
the success or failure of their petty in
terests.
"In comparing the fluctuations which
have occurred this year with those ex-
perienced in each of the 10 preceding
years, the following are the results:
