HAWAIIAN RICE.

Hawaiian rice has been unable 10
compete in the mainland marke, with

sadly home by present quotations on

The market for Hawaiian rice Is
practically dead and the island growers
and millers are feeling il heavily The
Island rice IS now quoted on the market
at 3.25, the figure at which it stuck
after a steady decline Japan rice. af-
ter extra transportation and duty has

ION the basis of the contract which

The Sugar Market

sugar refining point for supplying Far
Eastern markets IS exemplifed in the
following abstract from the annual re-
port Of Wee Consu! General Stuart j.
Fuller:
The sugar merchants of Hongkong
have every reason TO congratulate
themselves upon the operation of the
sugar market during 1909. The mar
/ ket remained firm throughout the year,
and rich harvest Of profit was reap
ed by most of the operators. From all
sources the amount of raw sugar i'm
ported is calculated. in round figures,
/ at well over 100000 piculs (picul
equals 1873 g pounds. valued roughly
/ at $25 900. 900 OF the two great sugar
refneries IN Hongkong Butterfeld &
Swire 5 establishment (Taikoo rein
erv), at Quarry Bay. has been in full
swing with daily melts averaging 800
! long tons. while Jariine. Matheson &
! Co.'S China sugar refinery has been tax
ed TO its utmost output of about $50
tons, and it is expected that their su-
pernumerary sugar house at Bowring-
ton. which has been closed down for
some three years. will soon be in work
ing order again. bringing the output
of refined sugar by this company up
to possible 800 long tons
The most important feature in the
sugar trade of 1909 has been the pass
ing of the Payne tariff bill in the
United States. This led TO the stop
ping of the supply of sugar from the
!. Philippines, for when the new law
came into force. American spectators
bought up all the available stocks in
sla or 10Th nd far
as future crops are concerned, they
will likely find a similar destination,
so that China must rely upon Java
, more than ever for her raw sugar sup
, ply. It is worthy of note that before
the passage of the Payne bill Hong
kong imported about 100000 piculs of
raw sugar annually from the Philippine
Islands, but no anxiety is felt in bust
ness circles about the ability of the
Dutch possessions to supply the def
