MOISTURE AND SUGAR CANE.

The Planters Monthly quotes at
length from the discussion Of the sugar
planters of Louisiana, at their annual
meeting. on me causes OF the different
percentages Of sugar in cane. In any
close competition in the production Of
gar, profit or loss will be determined
by the difference of this percentage. 1t
was stated in the deba,e that in De-
merara and other countries the per-
Centage of sugar rarely rose above
twelve per cent, because the canes We're
tries where 1t is dry, or there is a ces-
sation of moisture, the percentage rises
to IL, II. and even as high as 20 per
cent. The same differences in sacchar-
inc matter are found in the cultivation
of watermeIons, and they are due,
aside from the chemical properties Of
the soil, to the amount of moisture.
The Southern darby prays for dry
weather when his melons are ripening.
This effect of more or less moisture
on crops, so far as sugar is con-
cerned is well known to all intelli-
gent planters. but the laymen under
stand it imperfecty.
The time will soon come when lIe
amount of excessive moisture during
the season will become an important
factor In calculating the values of SUI
gar plantations.
1t Is settled, OF course. that a plan
tation with an ample irrigating sys-
tenn, is of much greater value than
the plantation that trusts to Heaven
for rain, other things being equal. But
in the close and even fierce competi-
ton in the production OF sugar at the
lowest possible cost, which must take
abolished, very little difference in
the amount of saceharine matter in
the cane will determine the question
of profit or loss. 4 difference of s per
cent. will, in the case of 10000 ton
plantation, make a difference of a mil
lion of dollars on the value OF It's
stock.
Our own planters are thoroughly
alive to the Importance of this matter,
At the same time, their great success
in the use of water by irrigating meth
DDS attracts the attention of the sugar
cane planters in all parts Of the world,
and they are educating them 10 adopt
the same course
1t is now said that the beet sugar in
dustry OF California will b. recon
stlucted, and that hereafter the bse,s
will be grown only upon lands subject
TO irrigation.

Greet Admiral.

BERLIN, March "a higl Official
OF the German Navy Department ma
informed the correspondent, here of the
Associated Press that the appointment
of Prince Henry OF Prussia, brother OF
Emperor William, to the command Of
the East AzIatic squadron, had been
considered for months past. and wa
finally decided on as being the mos
available. The Emperor desires to
show the American people that he f.

Prince Henry is popular in the United
States.
When the Official referred TO was
asked IL the appointment was equiv
alent to the disgrace of Admiral Won
Diedrishs, he said:
Not exactly. Still, IL Admiral Won
Diedrichs had shown more tact last
summer before Manila II would unde-
niably have been productive of good
results all round. Our Government
UNIV NhAidttisp was duNlSsu LOO i've OF
a number Of occurrences before Manila
none OF which were really important
but which showed grave want of tact
upon Admiral Won Diedrich's part. The
main trouble was that the Admiral was
insuiiiciently informed regarding inter
national naval usages in such deli
cate situation. Consequently he con
tinued naval movements. drill and
searchlight practice as II elsewhere
than in a blockaded port, thus arous-
ing distrust upon the part of the Am

The above is important as being the
first German official admission that
there had been trouble between the
Germans and Americans in Manila
Bay.

MONEY AND RATE OF INTf RESI-

/ In continuing our short Studies in
Finance. We take up once more the
matter Of coin in the Islands, and its
relation 10 interest and loans.
1t has been publicly stated by Mr..
! Spaldng Of the Claus Spreckels a co.
bank that Mr.. Damon's estimate that
! the coin in the Islands amounts to
about $1,000 600 is probably correct.
Assuming that this is proXimately cor
rect we are confronted with this fact
that the amount per capita is larger
in these Islands. on a gold basis, than
In any community in the world, con-
tanning the same population. 1t
amounts to si5 per capita as against
$3.50 per capita on the Mainland. In
reckoning the per capita amount, the
Chinese, japanese, Portuguese and ma
! tives are included as part OF the
population, although the majority OF
| them are not large holders OF coin.
The proposition accepted by writers
on the subject, Is that the larger the
amount of coin in circulation, the
lower is the rate OF interest, provided
the security Is adequate. II the sesur'
Iity is not adequate the rate of Interest
will he hign, in spite of the abundance
of money Whenever there is a large
surplus OF money in the commercial
centres, the rate of interes, declines
| lily reduces the rate, and is now giving
rise to discussion in Europe rs TO what
the rate will be in fifty years from
the present time. United States bonds
paying only two per cent. interest sold
ON the y. Y. exchange on February
10Th within a fraction OF the par value.
These views regarding the rate OF
interest are not ours, but those OF
Prof. Cairnes, Leon Say, Prof. Wilson
and OF The writer's on political Gcono-
my.
Assuming, therefore that the eSti-
mate made by our LEGAL bankers is
| true, the rate of interest here should
/ be as low, and really lower than it Is
on the Mainland, because there is about
double the amount of money per capt
tn here in comparison with the money
in circulation there.
| The returns of trade published yes
terday show that the lowest rate OF
interest obtained upon mortgage secur-
| ity was seven per cent Why then is
the rae so high? What causes are
are at work to maintain that rae II
money Is SO abundant?
| If it Is said that the recent develop
meuts in the sugar industry make
money scarce, the reply may be made
that with the low rae per capita on
the Mainland, transactions are con.
stantly taking place which involve
singly, an amount equal TO one-half OF
the valuation of all property ON thes'
Islands. and yet the rate of in,eres;
remains low.
| This condition OF our Finances should
| be explained. Our views are not posi-
! tive, but tentative and merely sug-
gestiye. 1t is quite possible that there
are local conditions here which should
be considered, and these may justify
this curious financial condition.

Mrs. Aiiau's Experience With Lau-
hala Trees.

Mary Ailau, the well known Hawaii

native mats, baskets, tapas and cur

lauhala trees in the grounds of the Ex-
ecutive building yesterday, stripping
them of the dead and yellow rushes.

and little thought that the time would
come that they would be profit to me.
But have been given permission by
tbs kind keeper Of the grounds to take
away the dead branches from these
my trees-and weave them into beau
tiful mats"
Lauhala fibre is best when allowed to
wholly mature on the tree. When
taken off green and artificially sea-
sOned and dried the lauhala Is never as
soft and pliable.
Molokai natives were around the city
yesterday selling tapa cloth made on
that island. AS 1t comes into direct
competition with a much cheaper art
icle from Samoa, 1t is doubtful wheth-
er 1t will have much demand. In the
South Sea Islands there Is still a large
fabrication of beautiful tapas which in
