THE 1910 SEASON.


The sugar season Of 1910 is practi
cally at an end and the final figures re.
iating to the crop are now being com.
piled, although not yet Formally issued
by the sugar planters association. The
season has been, with few exceptions,
record Of fulflled expectations. High
prices ruled at the Atlantic ports upon
the arrival Of nearly every ship with
Hawaiian sugar The decline in sugar,
due to increased productions. sugar
manipulation and like reasons, had no
effect on the prosperity of the year, in
huencing only the financial markets re.
lated to sugar which are now in the
act Of discounting or otherwise fore.
stalling the likely conditions of the
coming season.
With few exceptions all plantations
have completed grinding and have sent
in the final results. The figures given
below are all official.
Kauai.
The Hutchinson returns are not nro.
durable for this year and there is no
data on hand concerning the prospects
of the coming crop. The earlier esti.
mates set the crop at 5000 tons and
while the agency reported yesterday
that the grinding had not been finished
previous report indicates this as
mistake.
The final returns of the McBryde
crop are materially below the first esti-
mate of the manager, 1886 tons be-
ing the actual amount derived from the
crop The original estimate was 1900,
$4,000 being the estimate for 1911, all
though this last figure may be revised
later
Waimea estimates showed little dis.
crepancy with the actual figure, 1742
tons being taken off in contrast to the
roundly figured estimate of 100. This
yield was taken from 24S acres. the
majority of which were in second and
third ratoons. The crop next year is
expected to exceed this years by sew
eral thousand tons.
Oahu.
On this island the returns from the
plantations show that the crops were
evenly balanced as between falling
short of the estimates and exceeding
them. The excess, however, was gem
orally substantial, and the amount by
which they fell short triAing. The es
Inmates being used here are those made
at the beginning of the season, several
of them having been revised since to
figures more nearly representing the
actual crop.
Eva had the largest excess over the
estimates, which in round figures, set
the returns from the crops at 10000.
The actual yield was 1892, which, how.
ever, included the Apokaa sugar max.
ing the estimate not far wrong.
Waimanalo was another Oahuan plan.
tation to go generously above the esti.
mates, yielding 1874 tons in contrast
to the $500 at which the crop was first
estimated to be good for. Reports from
the plantation indicate that the crop
next year will possibly be in the neigh.
borhood of 1000.
Kahuku estimates placed the crop of
the northernmost plantation on the is
land as being less than 5000 tons, the
actual returns being $500. The Late
crop, which was ground at the Kahuku
mill, yielded ITO tons.
Waialua was one of the plantations
to fall below the original estimates, the
crop returning S0,s69 tons instead of
the $1,000 it was first supposed capa.
BILE of yielding. Less than a thousand
tons, however, marked the difference
between the Oahu estimates and the
Oahu yield, 29,296 being the exact
amount and 10000 the estimate.
Maui.
The Maui plantations, with possibly
one exception, have all exceeded the
first estimates and hold forth increased
promise for the 1911 crop.
The Hawaiian Agricultural Company
yield win probably figure at 10000 tons,
the final returns not being procurable.
The original estimates were but frac-
ton above this. From the data on hand
it is impossible to estimate the pros.
poets of the coming season.
