Sugar Stocks.
Sugar stocks under such generally
favoring conditions could hardly be
otherwise than strong.
The review of the months trading
issued on March 3lst by the Stock
Exchange produced some Interesting
figures McBryde, Hawaiian Sugar,
Hawaiian Commercial, Olaa, EVA and
Oahu have been the stocks III which
the largest amount of trading has
been done in the order named. The
range Of prices shows that the turn
from a poor season to II prosperous
one has been fairly well discounted
The advances from now on will be
Influenced principally by the eXpec-
tation of extra dividends or some
special plan of development as in the
case of MCBryde.
McBryde during the month of
March ranged from 81 to IA, with
over seven thousand shares sold Ha-
waiian Sugar sold at 40 through the
month, 4535 shares changing hands

McBry,lc's Plans.

Important business for the benefit
of Mc3ryde stockholders was done ut
the annual meeting of the McBryde
Sugar Company held during the week
The hOating Indebtedness is to be taxi
en- up by the sale of 100000 preferred
stock earring interest ut per cent
The 'utai issue Will be a million. This
stock will be offered pro rata to the
present stockholders. The purpose Of
this m02e is to give the holders Of
common stock nearer prospect of
n dividend. 1t is justified by the cX-
cellent and constantly improving
physical condition OF the plantation.
This years crop Is coming oil IN
splendid shape and will probably
overrun the estimate of $4,000 tons.
The future output of the plantation
Is expected to be between $1,000 and
$1,000 tons. Those intimately assoc
ciated with the property believe that
good profit will be shown on this
years crop. In other words the plan
tation seems TO have ended its exper-
IIIeEtal period and finally found itself.
The stock did not respond with an
advance following the action at the
annual meeting, but II is understood
that the large purchases of the past
month have been made principally by
insiders. with view first to securing
an allotment of the preferred stock

Sugar Prices.

Sugar stocks continue firm and
there Is no reason to expect Il down
ward movement. The raw sugar mar
ket is suffering a reaction as the con-
sequence of the period of speculation
concerning which much has been said
In the sugar circulars, but the limit
of reaction appears to have been
reached and the price held firm at
present quotations.
As stated in these columns before,
Cuba is keeping the price of sugar
up. One of the latest circulars arriv-
ing from the Coast placed the max
imum Cuban crop this year at 1900
900 tons. Cuban producers who have
sugar are generally in "A good iinan-
cial position. and there Is now as lit
tie reason to expect a slump in prices
during the next three months as there
was to expect an advance previous to
the facts concerning the Cuban crop
working out.
Hawaii's Crop.
Hawaii's sugar crop is reaching the
market under most favorable condi-
tions. About one-iifth. or one hun
dred and five thousand tons, has been
marketed. and about twelve thousand
tons of this at the top figure of 1892.
On March 3lst, 16l 200 tons of the
crop had been shipped.

Determination of the people of these
islands to keep immigrants after
spending good money to get them has
been much in evidence through the
week and its bearing on the business
of the Territory cannot be oyeresti-
mated
1t is apparent that the Alaska
Packers planned regular campaign
of pirating the sugar plantation labor
OF these islands. Their men have
been at work for some weeks and as
sembled close to thousand people
who we're sent out to San Francisco
by the regular steamers. The full
Significance of the program did not
come home to the planting interests
until the steamship Senator cleared
from San Francisco for Honolulu.
This ship can have no other mission
than to carry away any laborers that
can be enlisted from the plantations
of the islands.
Vigorous opposition was Immediate
ly started. A campaign against labor
agents of the Coast was started and
also very stringent measures against
purloinlng laborers were put before
the Legislature. These have met with
no opposition and II is certain that
the steamship Senator and those with
her will get very warm reception.
AS result of the campaign against
the labor agents and the bills that
will soon become laws, the outsiders
will have rather poor show as lab
or thieves in the future.

Social Happenings.

along social lines, and everybody seems
10 be recruiting after the strenuous eli
forts put forth last Saturday evening.
when the country whist clubs were en-
tertained by the Jerome card clubs Phis
event proved one Oi the most pleasant
that has marked the history Of social
life Oh the North Side Tract ior some
time, and again demonstrates the very
friendly feeling that exists among ali our
citizens, whether they be farmers OF city
folks
The Eagles hall, where the event oc-
CURED, was tasteiully decorated ior the
occasion in green and white, in honor Of
St. Patrick, the score cards being green
shamrock artistically designed. The
fore part Of the evening was devoted to
cards, and the honors were won by Mrs,
Person and Mr.. Hansen, on behalf OF
the country clubs, Mrs. Echelberger and
Mr.. Skadden carrying of the prize az
representatives Of the jerome clubs.
OF course one Of these events would
not be complete without refreshments,
and leave it To the Jerome ladies 10
properly attend to this branch OF an en-
| tertainnent. At the proper time, plates
with sandwiches, deviled eggs, cake,

that none could resist the temptation, 81
the floor WAS cleared and the remainder
Of the time spent in dancing, and When

the evening had been most pleasantly

Foreclosure Proceedings.

The Twin Falls North Side Land and
Water Co., through its attorney, > II .
Hays, filed foreclosure proceedings in
the United States court al Boise on Sat
urday last, against Edwin c. Gleason,
who is the holder of ~ acres OF land
near Jerome The suit is based on =
clause i'll the water contract which pro-
yides that upon default OF any annual
and hence the company now seek judg-
ment for 5000.
Mr. Gleason recently brought suit
against the Water Co. in the District
Court oil this county lor damages alleged
10 have been caused 10y failure OF the
company 10 furnish sufficient water for
the season, OF leQ9-lO, and during the
pending Of the case, has defaulted in his
payments ana II Is generally considered
that the suit brought by the company
has been FASTENED on this account.
The announcement OF the suit was re-
ceived here with some surprise, but in
conversation with some Of our leading
and largest land holders, the action is
practically welcomed, as it is looked upon
generally as test case. and should it
come to trial will bring out some legal
points that we are all interested in.
Mr.. Hays is quoted as saying that this
is the first foreclose ever brought by any
company operating under the Carey act,
and the developments will be closely
watched. not only by the settlers on the
North Side tract, but 10y every settler
on Cary act land and the general public
at large.
