This was looked upon by the Hunt

SUGAR TRUST SAID
TOB LOSING MONEY
THE HONOLULU PLANTATION RE-
F1NERY HAS KEPT WESTERN
PRICES OF REFINED down.

The Examiner of February has the
following in regard TO the refined sugar
war.
The situation ln the commerce. al war
over sugar prices is curious and inter-
esting. 1t is AN due TO one small re-
inery started by the Honolulu Plan
tatiOn Company of which Buck a Ohl-
andt are the chief owners This COM
pany has started a refinery on the isle
ands to handle their own crop. They
viii refine this year some 10000 tons,
but that is am insignificant fraction Of
the Hawaiian crop, which runs about
$50 600 tons a year. Yet this threat Of
competition has kept down the price OF
sugar I'm the local market while I'm New
York both raw and refined grades have
advanced ! cent "a pound or a little
more. The result Is that since the war
started the Sugar Trust controlling the
local market has lost something like
100000, which would have been earned
and prices here been advanced in SYM
pathy with Eastern markets.
There is good deal Of feeling over
the matter and some old friendships
have been ruptured by the Introduction

/ Irwin, who at one time was closer to
Claus Spreckels than anybody is no
/ longer persona grata in that quarter
| There does not seem to be any serious
danger to the big trust from its new
competitor, because the sugar planters
outside Of the Honolulu Plantation
! Company have recently renewed their
contracts with the Sugar Trust. Under
these contracts they are bound to sell
all their product for the next four years
/ to the trust.
At the same time there is this preg-
nant fact TO be taken inc consideration
that planters can refine their raw sugar
at home on a much cheaper basis than
any refinery at a long distance. That
ia true. of course, only in cases where
the product is Of considerable volume
