FORMOSAN SUGAR
To Be INCREASED

Willet & Gray's sugar letter says:
Referring to the report published
by us on June Cd, we give below fur
Their particulars regarding the produc-
toin Of sugar in Formosa, as received
from friends in Japan:
Geason.-From November OF the
previous year to June of this year.
For instance. Season 1910 means
from November, 1909, to May, 1910.
Tons.-One ton is equal to 2,24O
pounds. or 1850 Japanese kins, but
for convenience sake we made II
900 japanese kins in that statistical
able.
Harvesting ana Grinding. The har-
vesting of the cane in Formosa com
mences in December ami ends in May
of the following year. the number Of
DAYS of actual grinding is about lzC
days on an average in one season
Amount of reduction. AS shown by
the table furnished by rs, there are
eight factories that have been pro
ducing sugar in 1910. In lali four or
five more factories are expected to be-
gin work, and in 1912 anothe' three or
four factories will Je established
Judging from the capacities Of these
sugar producing companies, we can
easily estimate that the sugar produc-
ton in 1911 will amount to three mil
lion bales, each bale containing 100
Japanese kins, and in 1912 about A.
100000 bales.
Area.-The area of the field now
used for sugar plantation is only 10
OF the whols field in the Island Of For
mosa available for the cultivation of
the cane. Under these circumstances
we can conclude that the sugar Pro
duction in Formosa will continue IN
creasing every year, but the produc-
ton of the same in the Island is
greatly influenced by the policy of
the Formosan Government, and con
sequently it is the NOSE difficult to
Judge to what extent the production
will increase. Perhaps the Govern
ment will prevent any extraordinary
increase in the production, yet it is
considered to be probable that the
present amount will increase up to
six times as much.

BOILERS FOR ROCK
CRUSHER ARRIVE

Two big boilers, having total horse
power Of 300, arrived in the Nevadan
for the Honolulu Construction & Dray-
ing Company, and will be established
at the new rock crushing plant in Ka-
moiliili. All of the oil and water
equipment also arrived. With the
machinery is a special water boiler
cleaner which will enable the use of
ground water in the boilers. This
will not only save the company the
expense of taking city water but will
put some of the polluted water of
Moiliili to good uses.
The plans for the main plant arrived
in the Korea and the balance of the
detailed plans are believed to be in
the mail of the Lurline which arrived
this morning.
This new rock crushing plant will
be the greatest institution of it's kind
ever introduced here Rock of any
size can be turned out in such guam
titles that all requirements of the
Territory, the, city government, pri-
vate parties and even of the Federal
government can be met promptly. It
is anticipated, also, that the cost Of
crushed rock will in future be very
materially decreased.

GREAT INCREASE IN
CONSUMPTION or SUGAR

While the doctors are disputing
about the effects Of the use Of sugar
upon the human system without any
prospect of arriving at an agree
ment, the economists are entirely Ut
one on the proposition that its in
creased consumption is one of the
most trustworthy indications that
could be had of industrial growth
and the Improvement of the standard
of living.
In 1898 the consumption per capita
of sugar in this country was only
3946 pounds, During the fiscal year
just closed it reached eighty-two
pounds, the quantity of all kinds,
imported and domestic aggregating
the enormous total of 7,5OO,OOO,OO0
pounds.
Although the beet-sugar plants
and the continental and island sugar
fields of the United States are in
creasing their output year by year,
we are still compelled to import near
ly one-half of the total quantity of
the sugar consumed by our rapidly
growing population.
The beet-sugar fields of the MAIN
land produced about one seventh
the total quantity consumed last
year, and the cane sugar product
as about one-tenth. The remainder
of tie American production of 4106,.
100000 pounds came from Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines.

Pioneer And OIaa
Both Higher And Strong

Oahu stock made a further advance
in the period since yesterdays session
and is now safely over the 1872 point.
Yesterday the market was S32. al
though there was a sale of > shares
at 1872. 125. Later 10 shares sold at
$32 125, after which a big block Of 100
shares found buyer at $32.25. At
the close this morning S32 % was bid
for the stock in any quantities, but
holders were demanding S32.75. 1t
is a notable fact that some of the men
mentioned as bearing the stock a few
weeks ago are now referred 70 as
among the buyers. 1t is passing
strange how quickly changes of front
are sometimes made.
The other big feature of the morn
ing was the strength of Pioaeer al
though this was not at all unevpect-
ed. Sales of and 8 shares were
made at $685. after which 1898 - was
bid for large blocks and $235 asked
Pioneer is so very high that blocks Of
any size are unwieldy, and the small
blocks are the more generally sought.
In fact Pioneer is just now oXpurierc-
ing a very good argument in favor of
cutting the par of shares from 500 to
500. Such a step would, of course,
result in far more specializing, but the
market value of the stock would he
correspondingly increased.

for Il are numerous. Between boards

20 shares at the same and o at Sli9.-

bio and 1929 so asked for the stock
indicating very slight weakness.
A sale of 10 shares Hawaiian Sugar
was made at SAP so, which was l,rob
ably about the market The last
previous quotation had been Sal. 81
and SAB asked. At the close this morn
ing $42 was asked for the stock and
SAB bid
A sale of 80 McBryde was made at
s. .S75, and the stock seems to be re-
markedly weak. There is no cause
for this lack of activity save that at
tention seems to be centered on other
stock at present. For McBryde So rs
was bid and S.. S75 asked.
In teresting quotations without sales
were: Eva, $33 so bid and $33 625
asked; Hawaiian Commercial, $40. rs

Olaa has not yet finished up the
crop Of this year, and it will probably
be two weeks before final returns on
the output will be received here. There
is, however, no reason to suppose that
the original estimates will be very
far wrong.
The applications for land, leased by
the plantations, for homestead pur-
poses again doomed up as a menace
in certain quarters. However, the
alarm has not yet had the effect of
depreciating the values of or quota

year and planned for next year.
There were $4,000 pounds Of tobac-

to the future output expected by the
company.
The new money Will be used en-

is Of very fine quality, commanding
exceptionally high prices, and very
great success of the plantation is as
sured.

In 1900 the proportion of foreign

suggests that the enormous domestic
contributions to the available supply
played their part in making sugar
cheaper and more accessible to the
masses.
In using the term cheap" in this
connection We have in mind some
thing else than nominal price. A
glance at the tables of consumption
prices Of sugar in New York will
show that Americans have steadily
enlarged their consuming capacity
year after year and that a rising mar
ket was powerless to arrest the in
creasing use Of the commodity.
The tremendous expansion Of tie
industries in which sugar is largely
employed the extension of transpor-
tation facilities that enable the pro
duct to reach sections in which it
was an unattainable luxury. and the
almost continuous prosperity of the
country have al performed their part
in increasing the use of sugar in ,he
United States; but the greatest fac
tor is undoubtedly the domestic CON
tribution to the supply. That, more
than anything else has made Ameri-
cans the greatest sugar consuming
people in the world.

Although good eyesight is an exceed
ingly necessary quality for those who
drive motor cars, either as enthusiastic
amateurs or professionally, a no less
important one is that of having good
ear for just as the successful musi-
clan is the one who has an ear for
music so will the best results be OBJ
tanned by the motorist who, by reason
of his acute sense of hearing, can in
stantly tell when some part of his car
is not working properly. Although the
modern motor vehicle is noted for it's
extreme silence, as compared with that
of year or ago, it still emits d
wide range of Sounds-one might al
most say "whispers"-eac of which
has, to the trained ear, a distinct tone.
The expert driver soon learns, for in

gearbox have each different note and
he also quickly becomes familiar with
the slight clicking of the valves. the
puff of the exhaust, to mention only
two or three out of long list that he
mentally and almost invoIuntarily
makes during his close companionship
with the car. The result is that should
false note be sounded in what may be
termed "the automobile concert" his
trained ear instantly detects it. 1t may
only be blow in the inlet or exhaust
pipe, owing to a joint having worked
loose, a plug that may have broken or

more pronounced noise, such as that
