Sugar Prices Satisf actory.
Sugar quotations yesterday came all
but to the 81 mark, the last of two
rising quotations being $39925. This
is as predicted in the forecasts of brok-
ers during the past month, which have
been given in this column. while the
expectations are that sugar will con-
tinue to go up for some time. The
high water mark of last year is not ex-
pected to- be reached, however. Com
pared with the figures of year ago,
the price is nearly thirty-fve cents
behind, but the figure today is consld-
erably above the quotations of 1907.
The movements in the product are
also satisfactory During the week
there have been several steamship
loads carried away from Honolulu,
Hilo, Maui and Kauai ports.
Labor Situation.
It is reported in one of the Japa-
nese papers. and the report fairly well
substantiated otherwise, that there is
a big plan on foot to recommence ne
gotiations for the importation of Fill
pino labor on large scale, while it
is further reported that an agent rep
resenting some of the plantations is on
his way to Porto Rico to arrange for
the coming 20 Hawaii of a thousand
Porto Rican laborers and their fam
lies
Officialls.a there is no confirmation
for either of these reports. but unof-
ficially they are both believed to be
correct.
what effect these will have on the

more pay can not be aforetold, but it
is regarded as likely that demonstra-
ton that Hawaii is not altogether de
pendent upon Japanese labor will have
the effect of eurbing the present agita-

Local Capital for Theater-Cafe.
The canton property. which belongs
to the heirs of the w. A. Aldrich Es-
tate, is to be taken over BY local
syndicate and turned into a eombina
ton theater- cafe, the whole to cost in
the neighborhood of forty thousand dol
lars. This is the block on Hotel street
upon which it was stated 'sConev Is
land was to be built by outside cap
