SUGAR AVERAGES.

A. NJ, Novel;, of the Sugar Factors
Company, who follows up all sugar
produced in the islands and handled
by his concern, Las compiled some
figures which show that sugar sold
since July 81 brought better average
price than the average for the entire
year up to July 81. In other words,
the average price realized up to July
81 had ben 4.27 cents, while the aver
age rate obtained from July 81 to Oc-
tober II has been fraction above
427-due, it may be explained, to
high market reached in August.
1t may be refreshing therefore, to
think that while we are being hard
hit all right the effects have not yet
arrived.

CASTLE AND COOKE
SUBMIT DETAILS

B. A. Harnett, of the Togo Kisen
Kaisha's San Francisco office, was a
through passenger in the Chiyo Maru
for Japan, where he will attend the
meeting of the company on the subject
of new agencies here and on the
coast. While in Honolulu Mr.. Har-
nett conferred with T. H. Petrie, Of
Castle and Cooke in regard to the
details of assuming the agency bust
ness. These details are in addition
to the general information obtained by
the heads of the big company who
were recently here.
While the agency matter has not
been finally settled, and will not be
until the meeting in Japan, it is now
practically certain that Castle and
Cooke will be the local agents of the
company. Several other desirable op
portuniues were open to the Togo XII
sen Kaisha, but the advantages of a
deal with Castle and Cooke seemed to
appeal from the first to the director
ate.

sugars to India are expected to be
fully as large as last year.
We print this week the Conner
cial Estimate" of then ew beet crop,
as published in F. o. LIGHTS Monthly
of Sept. IS, 1910, and to which we re-
ferreI last week. The average of
these figures gives Germany a crop
of 2,350,OO0 tons, Convention count
lies together 100000 tons, and all
Europe 7,205,000 tons, as compared
with crops of 2O27 900 tons, 4,53S,OOO
tons and 613S,000 tons respectively
last year. 1t is to be noted that these
estimates credit Russia with very
large increase, and as that country
has had large deficits during the past
two years it's stocks are now short,
and large supplies are needed at home
Immediately = AS the sugar trade OF
that countryis carefully regulated by
government, the necessity should act
as quite an equalizer. The increase
: in Russia is thus given as 100000
! tons, of 353 per cent, over the last
! crop. while that for the statistical
countries $4,000 tons, or only 1872
( per cent, over last year. 1t will be
noted that f. O. LIGHTS latest esti-
mates for the last two crops are also
changed this year. Thus the figures
tons, and FOR the preceding 6,5i3,S65
tons, while Otto LIGHTS latest figure
for the last crop is now 6,l07,2Sl tons
