AMERICAN BEET SUGAR.

According to present prospects, the
current fiscal year of the American Beet
Sugar Company, ending March 81 next,
Will be far the best year in the com
Fany's history, exceeding by consid-
cradle margin the banner year of 1909
10, which showed balance on the com
mon stock OF 1907 ,253, equivalent to
1.31 per cent.
Slcing of beets began in California
this year about the middle Of July, and
the season, which lasts about one hun
bred days, is now in full swing. The
factories are treating about $500 tons
daily, and the total volume Of the beets
-. sliced to date shows an increase of ap-
! proximately fifteen per cent, as COM
pared with the corresponding period
year ago. in addition, the percentage
of sugar recovered from the beets shows
a gain of approximately twenty per
! cent over that of last year. The beet
crop was fortunate in having the right
amount of rain necessary to develop the
| beet plant and following period of
dry weather necessary to develop prop
ery the saccharlne contents. Further
more, there has been excellent harvest
| ing weather, SO that on the whole crop
conditions in California have been as
nearly ideal as could well be expected.
The total output of sugar for this State
is expected to show an increase of about
twenty per cent over last year.
In Colorado the crop will be some
| what less than year ago. The
Rocky Ford factory only is to be OPP
Grated this year in Colorado, the COM
pany treating all of the Colorado crop
at that plant. This economy opera
ton, combined with other favora BILE
conditions, will result, it is expected,
in a substantial reduction in costs.
Demand for refined sugar in the
territory covered by the American Beet
Sugar Company has been unusually
good for the current fiscal year to
date, and the margin of profit sat
! isfactory. With present expectations
realized the company will close its
year without a single dollar of indebted
ness and with substantial cash work
ing capital.
, One of the interesting features in
connection with the company during
| the last six months has been the de
, mand for its stock On the part Of
odd lot buyers representing invest.
! ment capital. AS a result the num-
Der of smaller stockholders will show
a considerable increase by the time
of the next annual meeting.

Devil 5 Den is a district worthy OF

NEW BUILDING.

The finishing touches are now being
put on the big concrete mill and storing
building of the Hawaiian Fertilizer
company at lwilei. 1t is already being
used for storage purposes having been
tested and found to come up to the re-
quirements
The test was made Friday when TWEEN,
ty-seveD and a half tons were piled on
sixty square feet on the second story
Under this pressure of 900 pounds to
| the square foot, the floor showing no
perceptible depression. The require
ments call for but 500 pounds to the
square foot
The first story of the building is
| IO3X200 feet, with an eighteen-f0ot
! ceiling. The second, running the full
length Of the foundation is but sixty
! feet wide with a fourteen-foot ceiling.
| The total capacity Of the building is
| $4,000 tons or over.
Directly next to it. another concrete
| building of smaller size is being erect
| ed, behind the first in construction and
| requiring another month of work be-
! fore it is ready.
The main building will house the two
| mixing machines of the company as
well as the finished product, the mills
to have a capacity of 400 tons per nine
! hour day
| The most modern machinery procur
| able has been installed. Electric eleva
| tors arranged on the portable plan have
| been purchased to do away with the
necessity of lifting the heavy sacks
| between the stories by hand. These
| elevators handle the sacks themselves,
| delivering them in rapid succession
with no more manual labor required
| than that of placing the sacks in posi-
ton.
In the course of milling. the product
makes two tri ps to the second story
from the first and back again. the fer
filizar coming out ready sacked. Raised
by an elevator to the bin above the
mixer. the ingredients for the first ton
: of fertilizer is assembled, being finally
dropped into the mixer and from thence
to the various hoppers and screens
while the second ton is being assembled.
The building was designed by Fl. l..
Kerr and constructed by the Pacific
Engineering Company. J. NJ. Young
being the superintendent engineer.
1t is absolutely freproof, there being
no wood used at any place in it. The
Kahn system of reinforcing has been
used in both buildings. The cost of the
building will come to about 100000 and
to this expense the company has added
$4,000 in new machinery which it has
just installed.
The benefits of the freproof construc'
ton is now one of General Superin-
tendent Watkin s chief topics. He ex-
poets TO save enough on insurance pre-
miums TO pay five per cent. year on
the cost of the buildings and recon-
mends the construction to any who may
have doubts as to the. proper building
of a city within fire limits.
The rate on the old frame building,
three per cent. contrasts but i'll with
the one half of one per cent. which IS
now quoted as the rate on the new rein
forced concrete building. The rates on
the contents IS threequarters OF one
Pc cent. The risk of fire is almost
nil the insurance on the buildings be
ing precautionary in the largest sense
of the word.

viii Cattle Advance Also?

Will there be boost in cattle prices
during the next few months CORE
spending to the improvement in cattle
and sheep? That is question that is
being asked in trade circles and most
answers are in the affirmative. Re-
ceipts for the year thus far do not
show a great deal of difference COM
pared with the same time last year,
but the impression among traders is
that later on noticeable shortage
will develop and with both cattle and
hogs scarce it is logical that prices Of
prices of cattle should seek their nat
ural level and sell higher. This theory
is strengthened by the fact that fewer
stockers and feeders have been shipped
out. During the last three or four
weeks the behavior OF the cattle mar
has been good and prices nave
advanced quite perceptibly in the face
Of pretty strong offerings. This shows
that the outlet for beef is good, and
that the boycott instituted some time

wholesale price of beef was lowered

animals has advanced 5O@75 cents

Demand for Feeding Cows.
During the past two or three weeks
there has developed a very urgent de-
mand for stock cows and heifers. Buy
ers lately have been taking all they
could find at s3.50@400. The chief
reason for this demand is that feeding
steers have advanced to point which
many farmers think is too high and
they are taking cows and heifers in
stead. Good to choice stockers and
feeders in the steer department are
Is cents to dollar higher than they
were six weeks ago, the best grades
ranging up to $3.50. Altho the future
looks bright for the feeder Of fat cat
tie, those who contemplate buying
young stock are not eager to take too
much Of a risk in the initial cost. es-
pecially in the face of the fact that
corn is high and is likely to remain so.
Cows and heifers look like better

Because of this competition from out
side buyers killers Of butcher stock
have been compelled to pay very lofty
figures for the kind of cows they
want, and most of the good. fat cows
and heifers are now at the highest
point of the year. There is such
scarcity of good cows in some parts
of the country that purchases by out
