ty on coffee Of four cents per pound
viii be a great boon to island coffee
planters.
One of the principal planters Of Maui
stated recently that he had several tons
of coffee on hand which he could not
afford to sell at the present prices pre-
vaIling both in Honolulu and San Fran
cisco. He was offered nine cents per
pound by Honolulu dealers. the coffee
to be delivered by him to Kahului
ready for shipment The San Fran
cisco people proposed to give him nine
and one-haIf cents per pound. all
freight charges to be paid by him
He further stated that the coffee ac-
tuaily cost him about ten cents per
pound to raise. Hence subsidy of
four cents on coffee means much to an
industry that has been almost wholly
abandoned and to revive the production
of coffee which was second in impor-
tance only TO sugar means much to the
prosperity of the Territory.
