REFINED SUGAR SLIDES
HONGKONG SHIPMENTS CAUSE A

Large Importations of the Foreign

Gray on Raw Sugar Market.

Willett & Gray's last sugar letter
states that owing to very large impor-

gar refined at Hongkong there has been
serious depression in prices along
the Pacific coast. This singular turn
of affairs was anticipated by San
Francisco business men, as indicated
in letters received by c. NJ. Cooke, Cas-
tie & Cooke, and others here, month
or more ago.
Effort is being made in Honolulu TO
introduce the same sugar from Hong
kong. Samples arrive by almost every
steamer from the Orient. The figures
for the sugar are such as to make 1t "A

PROFIT IN THE FIRE.
Owner of the Windsor Hotel Draws
$3.50 Day.

NEW YORK, March 21.-Warren F.
Leland will receive each day until his
new hotel is completed, a sum said to
be $50 on use and occupancy poll
cies," which he fortunately held This
will be entirely apart from the insur-
ance he will receive on furniture, per-
sonal property and improvements. The
use and occupancy policies provide
for payment to the insured for each
day his business is not in operation.
William NJ. Randall, secretary of the
fire patrol commission of the New
York board of fire underwriters, said:
II know Mr.. Leland has policies that
will bring him a stated amount each
day or each hour his hotel business is
not running.
THE use and occupancy policies
such as held usually provide that for
every day that a room cannot be occu-
pied because of fire, certain sum
shall be paid. Many owners of public
houses take out such policies to pay
for loss of patronage in the event of
fire.
LAS all the rooms were entirely de-
stroyed in the Windsor hotel fire and
it will be a long time before the hotel
can be replaced. the amount Mr.. Le-
land will receive from these policies
VIII probably be large ! am not sure
whether the amount he will receive
each day is exactly $3.50. | cannot tell
without consulting my books, which
are in my office.
Mr.. Leland had no trouble obtaining
insurance on his property, neither did
the owner of the building, notwith-
standing many reports to the contrary.

the time the hotel was erected were
complied with"

Those who have taken Hoods Sarsapas

Thousands of these people say Hoods
Sarsaparilla has cured them.
The testimonials of cures by Hoods

These cures often seem marvellous, vat

Pure blood is the foundation Of health.
