SUGAR BACK To
HIGHEST MARK
Mondays Drop Made Up Again
The Best Figure for
Four Years.

| Sugar is higher now than it has bee
at this season any time during tn
past four years.
Cabled advices, received yesterda,
by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters As
ISOLATION, give the New York price
for SO degree centrifugals as 81. %:
again, jump of three cents and five
mills over the quotation of the day
before. 1t touched high water for thi:
season on September 81 last and has
continued almost constant since.
The best previous quotation for the
month of October was in 1906, when
SO degree centrifugals reached 81. The
highest figure reached during October,
1907, was 1895, and the best during
October, 1908, was $4.03. The latter
quotation was received on October "a;
on the 91st the price fell to 1895.
The primary cause of the present
high price is the shortage of the Eu-
ropean beet crop. The German beets
were late in maturing and soured in the
ground, not being far enough along to
ripen during the warm weather. The
Cuba cane crop has also fallen short
according to recent advices. and it is
believed by those in close touch with
the sugar market that there will be
little or no falling off in the present
price, and a further advance would not
cause any great surprise.
Should the present quotation hold.
many Hawaiian planters will profit
handsomely thereby. There is now a
large amount of sugar on the way that
will probably reach market under the
present price conditions.

extended tour, which has brought her
here, she had: made a portable; dress

ing rooms are usually poorly ventilated
and stuny. This one has the advan-
tage of fresh air vents and is placed
on the stage anywhere back of the
scenery. While the star is occupying
the attention of the audience three
sides of the room are thrown open
SO as to command the entrance of cool
air from stage door or transom Con-
structed of heavy canvas, lined with
