HAWAII EDITION
OF THE CHRONICLE


The Hawaiian Development Edition
Of the San Francisco Chronicle, bear
ing date of July IS, arrived at the local
bookstores yesterday, and was more
than an agreeable surprise to news
, paper readers of Honolulu. So quietly
had the work of planning this number
/ been carried on that few people eX-
pected more than a supplementary
section to the popular San Francisco
daily. In place Of that, however, there
are thirty-nine pages of we'll selected
admirably grouped, tersely written
and beautifully illustrated articles on
practically every subject Of interest
to Island readers or outside friends.
A few of the articles are. Historical
sketch of the Hawaiian Islands," by
Prof. W. d. Alexander; "The govern
mint OF Hawaii" by his Excellency,
Governor Frear, and "The public lands
| of Hawaii" also by the Governor;
Agriculture and Horticulture in Ha-
wall" by Dr. E. V. Wilcox; "Educa-
| H..
Willis T. Pope; The press of Ha-
wall, by Roderick o. Matheson man.

service in Hawaii" by Postmaster

sort" by Will J. Cooper, and a series

much good, although in some sections
the rains already received have been
S 'fficient and warm dry weather is
now desired. Former dry weather was
most severe in Russia and eastern
Hungary and still more rain would be
useful there, although the crop is do,
ing quite well. On the other hand, in
France and Belgium, rains have
been excessive for some time and are
holding back the crop and field work,
and warmer conditions are generally
desired
From Mauritius, unfavorable wea-
lther has recently affected the growing
crop, so that our correspondents now
lestimate 100000 tons, against 24O, 900
tons for the present crop.
From Brazil, we learn that an un,
usually large crop is expected this
year, from which crop no doubt the
United States will participate in to
some extent at least, greater than dur
= ing the past year or two.
From general outlook of the sugar
! situation, a larger amount of supplies
! appears to be coming visible, which
: may in the end lead to a reduction in
the present abnormal values in Europe
For instance. at the commencement
of this year the total figures of worlds
supplies showed a decrease of 552,61C
hn
: The same comparison today, by GU
I figures given elsewhere, reduces thi
e decrease to 1896 tons, showing tn
S statistical trend to be approaching noI
) NAL conditions. From this exhibit,
+ is evident that current prices in Ell
$ rope must within the next two month
p give way to a new basis OF values upo
new crop conditions.
The present parity difference bC
tween new crop beets, October-Decen
. Der delivery, and Cuba Centrifugal
