REVIEW
OF SHIPPING

The past week has been a compare
lively dull one in local shipping cir
cles. There have been no arrivals of
sailing vessels although four big steam
ers called at the port. AS this is the
slack sugar season many of the YES
sells in port are tied up awaiting the
sugar which is coming in from the plan
tations very slowly. The owners of
several ships decided that it would not
pay to hold their vessels and sent them
to San Francisco in ballast. The big
Americana Hawaiian liner Nevadan took
only 1000 tons from this port and less
than 300 from Kahului. A feature of
her cargo was 5000 cases of pineapples.
The shipments of this fruit have been
very heavy this summer and Hawaiian
pineapples are gaining reputation on
the coast. The cultivation of this IN
dustry viii be good thing for island
commerce for ships cannot always be
filed with sugar. Out of the five ocean
steamers in port last week three flew
the American and two the British flag.
