CANNED GOODS ARE
ADVANCING IN PRICE

New York, July CA special to
the Sun from Baltimore says: Follow
Ing an advance in price Of tin plate.
caused by the steel strike and an ad-
vance in the price of tin cans, there is
furry in the canned goods market.
T. ]. Meehan. a leading broker, said to-
day: Within ten days there has been
an advance Of 10 cents dozen on corn
10 cents n dozen on sauerkraut. 20
cents a dozen on tomatoes. 40 cents a
dozen on gallon apples. All staple can
ned goods have gone up 10 to 40 cents
dozen.
THE advance in the price of cans
has put the price ," lhree-pound sizes
81 per 100 higher than they were in
February. This means an increase of
Q to 10 cents dozen in the cost Of
packing. Besides the tin plate condi-
tlons, the market is affected by the
drought in the West. Heavy orders
are coming in by telegraph for sup
plies from that region, because .he
drought has reduced the quantity of
foodstuffs. Avancing prices have not
checked buying and the demand seems
to grow from day to day, although for
three weeks 1t has kept us working

INCOME TAX TEST

At 9:i5 this morning first money
was passed through the window to
Tax Assessor J. w. Pratt, under the
income tax law. The money was paid
by Attorney A. Lewis tor the Waimea
Sugar Company, a corporation. and
George II. Roberts, an individual. The
sum paid for the corporation was
Sl47.40; for the individual, sl3O.9l.
Both amounts were paid under protest
and will be the basis of the test cases
on which the fate of the income tax
law hinges.
Two suits will be brought against
Tax Assessor Pratt. One will be en-
titled WaimeA Sugar Co. VS.. j. w

against the income tax as being uncoD-
stitutional. Following are, in brief
The grounds upon which the objections
are made. both in regard to the tax on
corporations and individuas:
That there is no rule of uniformity

taxes.
That it is inconsistent to exempt

thousand dollars.
That the taxation Of the salaries o,

THAT the fact that only one reduc

New York, July 27.-A cable to the
Sun from London says: The lapse III
three years which Andre. who started
for the North Pole in a balloon, fixed
as the extreme limit OF his return, has
revived interest in his fate. A Norwe-
gian captain of much Arctic experience
has theory which is interesting. He
says 1t is fact, which Is probably
familiar to all Arctic explorers. that
when there is the slightest humidity
OF the atmosphere masts and sails OF
vessels are coated thickly with ice.
When Andre started wet snow was
falling and the balloon would soon be
coated with ice. Its buoyance would
be Overweighted and II could not re-

one time was nearly half mile in the
lead. but as the wind freshened indie

very fast. She sailed the last leg OF
the course. ten nautical miles. in 45:ij
