ALMOST
At STANDSTILL

Although there were a few transac-
tions on and off the board yesterday,
the stock market is at practically a
standstill as regards quotations. Buy
ers are few at prevailing figures, al
though holders of stock manifest lit
tie disposition to part with shares on
shaded bases.- Undoubtedly the sit
uation is the result of the stationary
character of the sugar market, and
the feeling of uncertainty as to the
effect that large shipments of Cuban
and Porto Rican raws, now arriving at
New York, may have.
A sale of particular interest be-
tween boards was 1870 Hawaiian Com
mercial at $42.50. On the board this
morning $42975 was bid and S42. 625

ket seems to be strong.

WILLETT AND GRAY'S.
LATEST REPORT

Willett & Gray's financial report Of
March %, received in yesterdays
mail, contained the Following in re-
gard to sugar:
Raws.-A feature of interest this
week is the official statistics from In
dia, and which increases our worlds
supply of cane sugar. At first sight,
this increase of $4,000 tons in India
crop might be considered relief to
the same extent of the European
Shortness of supplies, it requiring
that much less of importations into
India of Java and Mauritius raw SUI
gar and European refined.
As matter Of fact; the India pro-
duction is of low grade sugar, con-
sumed by the natives mostly Of the
interior, while the importations are
of higher grade sugar, consumed
mostly by foreigners and cities at the
seaboard.
In 19O6-O7, with crop of 1928, 400
tons, India imported of the higher
grade sugars 4S9,102 tons; in 19O7-0S,
crop 2,O469OO tons, imports 5O2,245

PORTO RICAN SUGAR

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Porto
Rico produced Tor export in 1909 nearly
274,OOO tons of sugar in As mills. Pro-
duction this season will be consider
ably over 100000 tons, the largest in
history of the industry. The mills are
now grinding the 1909 crop and the
facilities are taxed to the utmost.
Acreage will greatly increased during
the coming season.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-04-07

higher grade sugar remains unin-
fluenced and may increase the usual
yearly average of say 10000 tons,
Should, however, Europe compete
more strongly than usual for Java
and Mauritius crops, the surplus Of
India crop might have an influence
on importations to a small extent.
Cuba becomes each recurring week
more uncertain factor of crop out
turn while the draught continues. A
few heavy showers in some sections
gave little relief, but original crop
estimates Of 100000 tons or over
have already been abandoned. It
remains to be seen how near our ORR
ginal estimate of 100000 tons, Or
our minimum, 1,65O,OOO tons, will
come to the crop.
Receipts at the seaports are de-
creasing each week about as usual
at this time Of the year.
Europe has maintained level mar
ket for twelve days, and only today
started to advance again with ga d
rise in beet sugar for all months.

benefit from the quiet period and Sc

one Aerican citizen over half a
million Others" has been written
by Frank j. Cannon, ex-Mormon,
ex-senator from Utah, son of the
eminent George @. Cannon.
1t is an "inside story" told
calmly and dispassionately by the
very man whose brilliant diploma
cy won the compromise which ad-
mitted Utah to statehood under
the hypocritical Mormon pledge
to abandon polygamy.
The first chapter of this story,
appearing in Everybody's maya
zine for December, is prefaced
with this characterization of Pro-
phet Smith, the present Mormon
despot:
A Religious Despot.
"a religious fanatic of small
and bitter mind, giving command
ments of perfidy as the divinely
ordained 'mouthpiece of the Lord
demanding unquestioning ODE
dience in all things and enforcing
the demand by his religious, poll
tical and financial control of the
faith, the votes, and the propter-
ty of his fellow citizens-living,
likte the Grand Turk, with five
wives, openly, against the tenn
poral law of the state, against the
spiritual law of his kingdom of
God and in violation of his own
solemn covenant to the country
secretly preaching a prescribed
doctrine Of polygamy as necessary
to salvation, but publicly deny
ing this teaching so that he may
escape responsibility for the suf-
fering of the plural wives and
their unfortunate children-and,
through 1t all, protected from the
anger of civilization by his polit-
heal and financial partnership with

pole chopping ceased and the fight
was taken to court, where ii now
is.
Council Use Power.
The municipal lighting project
was gaining Roadway by leaps and
bounds and the Edison people saw
but one way to stop it. They be-
gan to cut rates. They established
a flat rate in certain sections, that
is, charged so much per hour, but
only in the sections where the
city competed against the COM
pany.
Well stop that" said the city
Fathers, and passed an ordinance
prohibiting flat rates in any Sec
ton.
You can cut your rate per kilo-
watt hour as much as you want,
said the city to the company, but
when you once cut them you can
raise them without the consent
of the council"
Il But the Edison Co. in despera-
tion continued to cut rates. From
Is cents per kilowatt hour il
dropped to 121A cents; then tc
s cents and now it is doing bust
ness at 4 cents and makine
money. And with a cent rate
the Edison people cant raise
them without the consent of the
council and the council won't give
that consent. The power com,
pany had to cut down the rate tc
compete with the city or go out
of business.

That was the talk of Howard

Pacific at the Commercial club
banquet given the N. p. railroad
ers last night.
OF course he did not put it in
those words. He knows too much
for that. But that was what II
means all right.
With the railways trying to
raise the already outrageous
freight rates and juggling stocks
and manipulating finances to get
the better of the people, Elliott
came to Tacoma and made a plea
that all should unite now to stop
any legislation that would be
restrictive" on railways. Elliott
said that of course the railways
would not make the needed extern
sions and betterments while there

PASADENA, Cal, Nov. %
Pasadena has saved 100000 in a
year by bucking branch of the
lighting plant This is what the
city itself has saved and the citi-
zens have saved more than that,
just how much it is impossible to
tell.
Three years ago the municipality
decided it was being squeezed"
by the Edison Electric Co., an Off
shoot of the power trust" on it's
contract for lighting the streets. 1t
started municipal plant. This
was SO successful that the business
was extended to commercial use.
Then there was a fight The Edi-
son Co. objected to being hit in the
pocketbook.
Chop Down Poles.
About that time there was a
matter of tax on electric light
poles. The city wanted the money.
So did the lighting company. The
latter, working the old corpora
ton game, refused to pay the tax
The city sent out gang of men
to chop down the poles. The
Edison people appeared on the
scene with gang to guard its
property. And while the guards
were stationed in one section of
the city, the municipal chopping
squad executed a flank movement
and began operations on another
set of poles on the opposite side

in commenting on the building OF

this line would be built. There is
SO much agitation against rail-

haitian Island. You remain on the
train in the train shed. The train
starts, after time, dashing direct
ly from the underground shed into
another tunnel. For three miles it
speeds. Then it dashes into the
daylight on Long Island. You have
passed completely under Manhat-
tan Island and under the two-mile
wide rivers which bound it. You
have never even seen the wonder
full city, but, if you crane your
neck from a window and look
backward, you will see the towers
of the town in the far distance.
