lower production of any material
amount
A considerable business has been
done in Java sugar for the United
Kingdom, but one cargo only is re.
ported to the United States. Our
private Java crop cable given else
where is important.
The European statistical position
as given in our issue of February H.,
has not improved, but up to date the
figures available show increased eX-
ports and increased consumption over
last year without corresponding in
creased imports.
Russia seems also to be holding
back her crop for home consumption.
At the close our refiners are out
of the market in competition with
Europe for Cuba sugar until business
is revived in the refined product,
which cannot come until Withdrawals
under old contracts are exhausted.
Notwithstanding Cuba Centrffuga!s
are now Is cents per 100 pounds be-
low parity of beet sugar, against only
20 cents per 100 pounds last year, the
immediate wants OF refners are well
satisfied, and their policy of not as
Stunning a speculative position is like
ly to continue this large parity DIFF
ference for thirty days at least, thus
giving European buyers the market
for Cubas during such time.
Whenever the outturn Cuba crop
becomes more definitely fixed, more
consideration will be given by our
refiners to its limit of supplies for re-
mainder of campaign, and as to how
much more Of the crop can be spared
for the United Kingdom before the
parity difference begins to contract.

THE REAL ESTATE
MARKET OF WEEK

Almost continuous bad weather
during the week has had rather
depressing effect upon the market for
building lots, prospective purchasers
waiting for the much desired fine
day" upon which to explore the pro-
perties of Kaimuku, Waialae and the
valleys, which are now offered for
sale. In spite of the weather, how
ever, quite few lots have been sold,
while transactions IN town property
have been up to the average, both as
to volume and value.
Mr.. Stanton, of the Kaimuki Land
Company, sold more than thirty lots
in his Ocean View tract last week
and more than half as many more
this week A satisfactory part Of the
matter is that a number Of the buyers
are new people in the islands, indicat-
ing that outside capital is beginning
to show itself as a regular thing in
the real estate market.
Manager Reidford, of the Bishop
Trust, reports the sale of two OF the
four fine lots in the Dodge subdivision
in Puunui during the week. This is
excellent property, and is in the
midst of what promises to be one Ct
the choicest valley suburbs Of Homo
lulu A sale during the week was
a very pretty house and valuable lot
on Kinau street to James G, Berry,
engineer of the Hawaiian Fertilizer
works. The real estate department
of the Bishop Trust has also sold \
number of Kaimukl lots during the
week.
R.H. Trent, of the Trent Trust, re-
ports considerable business in small
properties during the week, but no
large deals.

Man")-"The month of March was an
exceptionally good one with me, and

DIAMOND HEAD

Professor Ferdinand Ellerman, the
astronomer who has been sent down
here by the Carnegie Institution to
study Halley's comet, has obtained
permission from the United States
authorities to erect an observatory on
the slope of Diamond Head above the
lighthouse, and will proceed to do 50
without delay.
The contractors will begin work on
the tower not later than Monday and
in very short time the noted astro-
homer will be ready for his research

states that his instrument is about
the size of the one TO be used by che

improvements or additional features,
will probably be able to focus more

here partly on a wedding tour Chaving
recently passed into the happy sphere
of double eXistence), and partly to
"look over the ground for the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce in the
interest of a steamer service between
this port and the islands. Mr.. Culver
has already conferred with Brewer
& Co., representing his company here
and with other interested parties
from whom he has received a consid-
cradle measure of encouragement.
/ Mr. Culver, in the Los Angeles Sec
ton of his investigations, claims to
speak for Frank Virgins, secretary,
and ]. V. Vickers, chairman of the
transportation committee of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce. AT
Son Francisco he received such con-
fidentlal instructions from the Oceanic
Steamship Company as induced him
TO pay a call on the newspapers this
morning with a view of acquainting
the public of Honolulu with what was
being planned.

cessful in their planS states Mr.. Gull

WILLETT AND GRAY'S
LATEST REPORT

Willett & Grays Weekly Statistical
Sugar Trade Journal, arriving by the
mail this morning, has the following
interesting data concerning the mar
ket, as of March II:
RAWS. Quotations remain un-
changed during the week under re-
view Buyers here have remained in

been left almost entirely in the hands
of European buyers, who still main

cient for paying relatively higher
prices than our refiners Except in in
stances) are willing to pay. Our re-
finers are well supplied with the same
dates of shipments as are now on
offer and sellers do not incline to sell
more distant sugar.
European buyers have taken 100000
bags Cubas, most on o. b. Cuba
terms, for shipment to the United
Kingdom, while our buyers report
only $4,000 bags for the week. The
United Kingdom purchases were at

BETS GO HIGHER.

Yesterday afternoon the cable re-
ported beet sugar as sold in New
York at las, Cd. This is an advance
from las, Sd the day previous.
The silence in regard to centri-
fugals is really becoming remarkable.
There has been no quotation since
March 8, when the figures given were
4.36. Since then there have been no
reports, although beets have con-
tinued to advance.
Can it be that buyers have been
able to hold off nearly four weeks
without being forced into the mar
ket?-or is something else holding
the price of raws down to 4.36?

RAILROAD BRANCH
F.. COMMENCES

Work was started last week on the
laying of rails for the new branch OF
the Hilo railroad from Kapoho to
Kamaili and will be pushed forward
with rapidity, it being expected that
the work can be completed in about
two months or a little over. The road
will run as far as the lumber mill Of
Cant & Bolte, who are only waiting
for its completion to start shipping
ohia ties from that section to Hilo
where they will be transhipped to the
coast.
The road will be approximately Z
miles in length, and will tap a rich
section of the country going through
the cane land of the Puma Sugar Co.
and property of the Pacific Develop
ment Co. In addition to this it will
pass through a pineapple section and
when the local cannery is again start
ed this will be one of the places which
will be expected to furnish a large
part of the fruit While there are not
very many pines being raised there
now it is expected that this industry
will be developed to a considerable
extent. y

WOODS K0HALA
DITCH PROJECT

HILO, March 31-The ditch and
water system which is being con-
structed by Frank Woods Of Kohala
will be quite an undertaking, accord
ing to Governor Baker, who arrived in
town last Thursday and will make a
weeks stay in this city, then return
ing to Kau. The work on hand will
cost at least $4,000, including the ditch
and reservoirs. 1t will supply plenty
of water for use on the Woods ranch
and also have a considerable supply
which viii be for sale.
Governor Baker stated that part Of
the water might be used on the DR..
Wight estate, which lies below the
Wood ranch. This estate has between
four and five thousand acres of land
which would be good for cane if water
was available, but until that time is
of small value. Some cane is being
grown there now, however, and being
ground by the Hawaii mill, but if wa
ter can be obtained for the cultivation
of all the land the estate will probably
put up its own mill. According to
Governor Baker all the land is good
for cane and the Wood water can be
taken to it with little trouble or ex-
pense.
