NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-The corner
In the price of refined sugar was brok-
en- suddenly yesterday. Arbuckle
Brothers cut price schedules from ~
to 6% cents pound. This Is the Sc
verest cut ever made on any one day
in the memory Of the sugar trade. and
amounts to about $3.50 a barrel. John
Arbuckle was said to be personally
responsible for the reduction. Prac-
tically all of the other retiners met
the cut at once. 1t Is expected that
further reduction will be made soon.

capacity has become fixed among irri-
gators in the Islands? The term Is so
Objectionable in so many ways that
II ought not to have place In the
vocabulary of modern irrigationists. In
the first place the term has two or
more meanings, and may be ambigu-
Gus. A reservoir with ten million gal
Ions and ditch with ten million gall
Ions are certainly two different things.
Again. n million gallons per twenty
four hours is n derived unit which Is
too long and cumbersome for the TWEEN
tieth century. The gallon, the unit of
volume. Is too small. and the day OF
twenty four hours Is too long n unit
of time. especially In country where
fluctuations In bitches and streams oc-
cur almost hourly. No one ever meas
ures bitches or streams In gallons per

f., approved form. second-feet. This IL
the only logical English unit for rate
, of flow, and should be adopted in all
up-to-date irrigation systems.
"The most Objectionable feature
about the million gallon unit IL that II
gives no suggestion of the relation be-
tween area OF land irrigated and depth
of water put upon Il. For instance. a
! flow Of n million gallons q day for one
hundred acres gives no intimation OF

the better understanding OF what Is

In the interview published in the

the depth Of water applied to the land
during the year. Under a big irriga-
sion system, where several different
kinds of crops are grown. II IL very
necessary to know the duty of water
for each crop and class of soil. For
instance. the duty of one crop might
be two feet n year. and the duty of
another crop, on the same soil, four
feet, so that In the one case the same
water would irrigate an acreage twice

Here In Hawaii. however. where

will depend almost entirely on the

great variation of water duty on diff

neither time, money nor interest in

outgambling the professional gamblers
on the cotton exchanges. Every gam

lives off the cotton traffic without pro-
ducing a lock of the staple is a load
