PRAISE FOR THE MAYOR.

The action of Mayor Treganowan
Sunday night is very commendable
from a moral standpoint. For his
own personal observation he was
looking over the town that he might
know whether the law was being
violated or not. The mayor was also
very decided when expressing his
views upon the using of the public
hall for amusement when there was
a possibility of the same bringing
discredit upon the authorities of our
municipality. There is plenty of
room for improvement in the morals
of numbers in our borough and it is
well that the mayor and council are
willing to set a good example on this
line,

were given at $4,5S2 447 and total liza
bilities at $4,4O4 296. These liabilities in
clude the bonded debt and the debt to
Mr. Spreckels.
A motion was made in the form of a
resolution to approve all the acts Of
the directors during the year. In the
discussion on the resolution the stock
holders wandered off to other questions
but the president permitted the speak
ers to take the widest range.
Charles e. Dugan asked about the ex-
pected assessment. The president had
just stated that there might not be any
necessity for an assessment, and Du-
gan tried to exact from him promise
that the assessment/wOuld not be made
at least until after Congress adjOurns,
There is a hope that the ship sub
sidy bill will pass, and that, L under
stand, will give the Oceanic Company
about $125, 900, a sum which would put
up on our feet and save the stock, I
would therefore ask that Mr. Spreckols
assure us that there will be no assess
ment until after Congress adjourns."
The president in reply said that the
affairs of the company and it's prospects
were so good that there will not BE- any
necessity for an assessment before the
adjournment of Congress, but he could
not make a formal promise to the stock
holders that an assessment might not
be levied on the stock. He added that
he had gone as far as he felt he could
go in supporting the company and he
was in as bad a position as any of the
stockholders.
The resolution approving the acts Of
the board was adopted by practically
unanimous vote

THE YEAR WITH
THE OCEANIC
THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE
STEAMSHIP COMPANY Is HELD
LATELY IN SAN FRANCISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO, January o.
Oceanic stock sold today for $1,OO a
share though its par value is 800, and
with assessments the stock represents
$40 share This slump is the effect of
an expected assessment on the stock
by the board of directors of the COM
pany which would be announced at the
annual me ting of the stockholders to-
day, and also the indefinite fear that
some kind of radical action might be
taken by the stockholders. What the
character of the acts of the stockhold-
ers might be was not clear to the men
who got rid of their stock at the no
minal price of 81. but other stockholders
say it was feared that the company
might be forced into insolvency.
Thus by getting rid of their stock
these timid stockholders acted in the
belief that they were escaping an as
sessment. Only 100 shares were sold
at the dollar mark, but there was no
further demand for the stock at that
price and the highest bid just before
the price rose to $3.50 a share
The anticipated assessment was not
levied however, nor did the stoCkhOld-
ers do anything more formidable than
adopt a resolution approving all the
acts of the board of directors for the
past year.
There was some indignation in the
remarks of some of the stockholders at
the meeting but the majority Of those
present preferred a conservative course
i'm the hope that the company may do
better in the coming year in the way
pointed out by John ID. Spreckels, the
president He stated that owing to the
marked Improvement in the trade Of
Australia and the Pacific generally, and
the good condition of the steamers of
the company, which precludes the pros
pect of large bills for repairs such as
kept the treasury empty in the last few
years the possibility of an assessment
is remote. Besides, he said, there is
good hope for the passage of the ship
subsidy bill i'm Congress, i'm which event
the Oceanic Company will find itself
sailing i'm calm waters, and in all prob
ability be able to recoup its shattered
fortunes.
There We're about fifty stockholders
present representing in all nearly 40 %
]
/ sided.
The annual report of the company.
which had hitherto been printed for
| distribution among the stockholders,
was read at the meeting. 1t showed "A
deficit Of $1S3,34i, receipts Of $2,O2400);
expenditures of $2,1G9,7i7 and other
charges which made the deficit. The
debt due John d. Spreckels for money
advanced in the year was S2S6413 and
the total amount due him was 81 49, 5
on this large sum he is getting 8 per
cantum inter st compromising monthly.
Some stockholders protested against
! tn interest.
Charles e, Dugan held that il would
be enough if the interest compound d
annually.

SUGAR MARKET


Under date of January "a. Williams,
Dimond & Co., give the following CON
corning the sugar market
Eastern and Foreign Markets: A
steady firm market for raws prevailed
throughout December and a tendency
towards greater activity became in
creasingly manifest during tha latter
part of the month, Notwithstanding
holidays interviewed which may be at
tIibuted to the backwardness Of the
season i'm Cuba, heavy rains having re-
tarded grinding operations, thereby
rendering it necessary for rehners to
enter the market freely i'm order to Sc
cure got and nearby sugars to tide
them over until new crop Cubas should
be available. Sellers maintained a
firm front and quotations strengthened
the tendency in this direction being
particularly noticeable throughout the
early portion of current month. Lat
terly however, weather conditions i'm
Cuba having improved and an increased
number of centrals having started
grinding operations, causing larger re-
ceipts at shipping ports, temporary
appeared under increased pressure from
all quarter to sell, and latest mail ad-
vices from New York under date of
the 18th inst are indicative of a weak
market for raws, the indifference OF
buyers being particularly noticeable to-
ward distant sugars.
European beets have been steady
throughout the period under review,
Notwithstanding f. O. LIGHT has still
further increased his estimate of the
European beet crop to 6,93O,OOO tons
which S $50 600 tons i'm excess Of the
largest previous beet crop in history
while the visible worlds supply of SUI
gar has increased to 4,026,00O tons which
is also the largest visible supply ever
known in history. Beet sugars are quiet
at the close and generally speaking the
situation at present does not warrant
any expectation of an improvement in
values.
In refined the demand has Leen mo-
, derate latterly and the market is un-
settled, a feature which may continue
for time while Cuban sugars are
pressing heavily on the market.
The Philippine tariff bill passed the
House Of Repres cntatives January 18th
by a substantial majority providing for
reduction in the duty on Philippine
sugars coming into the United States
to 25 per cent of the Dmgley rates, but
the sugars now held in bond here pa!
