Back Again
DISCUSSES THE CONDITION OF
THE SUGAR MARKET AS AF-
FECTED BY THE BEET CROP.

After an absence of eight months in
Europe j. F. Hackfeld is back in Ho-
nolulu and, naturally enough, he was
up to his eyes IN business this morn
ing as he only returned by the $. S.
Mongolia last evening.
Perhaps the most interesting mat
ter on which l could speak is that of
sugar." he said to the Star 'TThe au-
thentic reports which 1 received show
that the consumption was not as large
as was expected and the last beet crop
was the largest on record, no less than
100000 tons being produced. OF course
these conditions will greatly affect the
sugar market.
''The future? Well, it will be hard
to say anything about that until April
when it will be seen how much of an
area in Europe is planted with beets.
OF course it is possible that the beet
planters in view of the prevailing low
prices may plant a much smaller area
than was planted for the recent crop,
but it is hard to judge beforehand.
"The bulk of the beets are grown by
farmers who deliver them to the refin-
cries. course the refineries have
their own plantations but the farmers
do most of the growing all through
Europe"
Mr.. Hackfeld has enjoyed excellent
health while away but he is frankly
pleased at being in Honolulu again.
