COFFEE OUTLOOK
DECIDEDLY GOOD

Serious students of coffee from it's
growth to production, distribution and
consumption agree on the strength of
the statistical position and the sound.
ness of the general position. There is
abundant proof of the safety of the
position, for if it were otherwise the
markets may have suffered more from
the many attacks made upon them in
the past few months, not the least. of
these depressing influences being the
prolonged abstention from buying by
the interior trade. But all the while
one great truth has been established,
that in spite of trade opposition, or
whatever else it might be called, sup
plies have constantly decreased. The
worlds visible is more than 100000
bags smaller than a year ago, or even
no further back than December, and
supplies must continue to decrease
smartly until replenished from the
new Brazil crop next fall.
The fact is, coffee consumption is
larger than production, the total of
the now growing crops on the average
estimates of undoubted experts famil.
lar with all the conditions, being less
than required to satisfy consumption
for the season on the annual scale.
Not only is production below con.
sumption for the 1911-1912 season but
conditions indicate most positively
that the next ensuing crop of 1912.
1913 will be small Nothing in the
way of favorable weather can undo
the harm that has resulted from the
long severe drought in Brazil, because
the trees did not grow the fruiting
branches to normal development
for the Towering that should occur in
our fall months. This will be a mar.
ket influence of great importance and
no excuse is needed for putting the
statement on record, There is no dis.
putting the facts of this case and pro.
longed unfavorable weather would
make matters worse. - Willett &

CAPT. WALKERS
NEW INDUSTRY

,Harper's Weekly of May 10 has the
following account of Captain F. d.
Walkers new enterprise. his shark
oil factory being located at Kawaihae,
island of Hawaii:
For many years cod-liver oil has
been extracted from fish called the
dogfish as well as from the famous
Goldfish, and after it has been refined
and in a measure deodorized it is very
difficult to detect the difference, while
the best medical authorities declare it
to be as valuable as the pure Goldfish
product.
During the past few months a new
industry has been started in the Ha-
waiian Islands, where the sea swarms
with sharks. These fish are caught
and the oil is removed and put through
a refining process that removes the
rank taste and odor, making the prod-
uct very similar to the very finest
refined cod-liver oil The new prod
uct is excellent for lubricating, and is
finding a ready market with those who
desire an extra grade for fine ma
chinery.
SHARK oil is equal in every way
to other fish-oils, and it is believed
that the new product will have large
sale"

TANJONG OLOK
RUBBER COMPANY

The annual general meeting of the
Tanjong Olok Rubber Plantation, Ltd.
Hawaiian corporation operating in
the Malay Peninsula, will be held on
Monday at 2 o'clock at the office of
The Warehouse Co., Honolulu. Re
ports Of the manager, treasurer and
agents will be submitted.
Frank G. Wallace, manager, will re-
port that the plantation is now in first
class order, being practically free from
any harmful weeds and in a thorough
state Of cultivation During the year
every branch of the work has run
along smoothly, and the manager con-
slders the expenditure very reasona-
BILE in proportion to the work done
The health of the plantation is ex-
cellent. A report by DIR. Grant, the
company's physician, declares the
health of the labor during 1910 has
fully borne, out the statement in his
report for 1908 that Taniong Olok is
one Of the healthiest estates In the
Malay Peninsula. AS proof he states
that no death occurred on the estate
during the period June l to November
30. Mention is made by the manager
and the doctor of a new hospital built
at a cost of $4,000 this last year. In
the account of advances to coolies it
is noted that the loss through deaths
and runaways was $35O1.4S less than
in 1909.
Tapping was started in July, exact
ly one year before the time originally
expected. That month 1900 trees were
tapped, and in October 22OS, making
a total of BIOS trees, from which 1925
pounds of rubber was obtained. De-
tails are given of a large amount of
tapping due this year and next.
The Waterhouse Co., agents, will
mention the visit of their Mr.. F. T. P.
Waterhouse to the Malay Peninsula
in 1901, when he made inspection
Of the plantation four times. aH''
Estimates had been exceeded to a
considerable extent, for ample causes
shown, and the company will be ask
ed to consider an increase of the cap
ital stock. The report will say;
"While there are some reasons
against the increasing of the capital,
it will put the company in a position
tc be on Idividend-paying basis, with
out any Indebtedness to provide for
fully a year sooner than it would other
wise.
1--WE are at the present time getting
enough rubber from the area that Is
in bearing to pay for the up-keep OF
I this area and make a profit besides
so that if funds are provided for tax
ing care of the unproducing area, we
would have an available cash profit al
! the end of this year."
From the 1925 pounds of rubber SOLD
$1454 U. S. gold was realized. Tine
trial balance of December 81 shows
net outlay of $141 ,OOO.5S. A supple
mentary memorandum by the agents
is as follows:
The output for the first quarter o
1911 was 1918 pounds of dry rubber

LICENSE CASE
UP TOMORROW

In the Court Of General Sessions to-
morrow morning the contested liquor
license of Arthur McCloskey, Jr., of
Summit Bridge, will be heard. The Law
and Order Society is opposing the
granting OF the license on several
grounds. Among the allegations are
that McCloskey sold without license
and sold to minors and that the law is
not complied with regarding the sign
ing of the application for the license.
McCloskey withdrew his license last
fall when he found that one of the
signers of the petition was not a free
holder. Soon after that he obtained a
fractional license and applied for an
annual license at the January term
Of the Court of General Sessions.
In the Superior Court several mo-
