IN plentiful supply from the fact THAT
many Cuban sugars have been shin

ports, and it is thought that receipts
from this section of the island will be
discontinued later on when they have
finished grinding.
Latest estimates of the Cuba crop have

POLITICAL SITUATION.-The Ha-
waiian bill, as agreed upon by the Con-
ference Committee, has been passed and
received the signature of the President
April 80. and will, in accordance with it's
terms and conditions, take effect forty
five days from and after date of the APP
prevail thereof, excepting only as TO sec
ton 53. relating to appropriations, which
shall take effect upon approval The tar
iff and navigation laws are the same as
now in force in the United States. The
prohibition clause is subject to regula-
tions and restrictions as the Territorial
Legislature shall provide The clause de-
porting Chinese and other Asiatics has
been eliminated from the bill.
COFFEE.-Stock of IIawaiians in first
hands today is 1852 bags; figures quoted
in our last circular are still held, but job
bers consider these too high, and no sales
have been reported. Prices will probably
have to be reduced before business can
be done, unless there is a radical change
in the condition of the general market
