REAL ESTATE AND
L D NOTES.

Real estate men have been n little slow,
so far as the general public could see. In
getting over the rest of the holiday sea
son. But they have been busy ever since
the holidays closed. As a matter of fact,
they kept very little of the holiday sea-
son as a holiday. 1t is true that the
most of the business they were doing dur
ing that time and since has been office
business which is always away from the
eyes OF the public.
Several large deals, so it is reported,
were made in the quiet days OF the hol-
iday season. but as usual the real estate
men arc very reticent, and they are not
willing to let n newspaper man know

lUzON PLANTERS
GET DESPERATE

Give us relief or we perish" IL the
crs of Ncgros. According to Isaac
Adams, of the Attorney Generals Of
Ace. who has Just returned from an Of.
fetal trip to La Carlota, that province,
matters IN the sugar region have
reached a crisis and the planters arc
desperate. The low prevailing prices
for sugar have driven many of them TO
the wall and others are fast going, ana
unless action is taken speedily It is be.
lieved that distress will become as
acute ms 1t Is general
The haccnderos, Mr.. Adams says, are
In great many cases paying twenty
per cent on money advanced on their
crops Where they are considered
shaky they are charged as high as ten
per cent month. which, under present
conditions, means ruin.
To give some idea of how close the
farmers are pinched, mention may be
made OF one case. II IL that of a plant.
er who used to be wealthy. Only few
years a-o he had thousand head of
cattle and carabaos. Today he has
only 40, the rest having succumbed to
rinderpest OF other diseases. Now
bankruptcy IL staring him In the fact
And this case Is only one typical of
many.
The desperate state of affairs Is fur
there shown by the experience of a
sugar man from Honolulu. He made
an offer to IA number of the planters ia
install modern machinery for them II
they would put up bond guaranteeing
10 supply so much cane. As rcmuncra.
ton he was to receive IS ner cent OF
the output, leaving them rs Per cent
lie also guaranteed to extract 30 per
cent Of saccharine matter where now
they get only about so. He was thus
practically guaranteeing them nifty per
cent more profit than they are making
now, this after dcducting his share
The planters were eager to take M
such promising proposition but they
were afraid that owing to the lack OF
carabao they could not maintain Tn.
terms OF the contract and furnish u
sufficient supply Of the cane, thus for.
letting their bond. For this reason
they were sorrowfully compelled to
forceo the tempting inducement held
out 10 them.
Whether an agricultural bank would
meet the necessities OF the case and
give the relief needed is considered
doubtfu! by MIR, Adams, He questions
whether with the strong competition
caused by the large production OF beef
sugar the principal industry of Negros
can ever hope to he revived. IL it Is
galvanized into life again, he believes
1t will be only by the Islands getting
In behind the tariff wall OF the home
country on the same footing AS Porto
