HAWAII TAKES
LEADING RANK

Trade of the United States with its
non-contiguous territories in the fiscal
year which ends with the current
month will exceed two hundred mil
lion dollars, against less than one
hundred million in 1904, according to a
statement lately issued by the bureau
OF statistics of the department of COM
merce and labor.
To Hawaii the shipments during
1911 to date have been at the rate of
twenty-five million dollars per annum,
against twenty and one-half million
last year, eleven million in 1908 and
eight and three-quarter million in
1900. Hawaii ranks first among the
non-contiguous territories in the value
of shipments to the United States,
though this years figures are consid-
erably below those for 1910 During
1911 the shipments have thus far been
at the rate of forty million dollars per
annum, against forty-six million last
year, rwenty-siX million in 1908 and
fourteen million in 1900.

SUGAR FOR JULY
IS HELD HIGHER

Willett & Gray's Journal IN. ",
June S:-Although the market has
maintained a frmer tone and tenden-
cy during the week under review, yet
the spot quotation for centrifugal
sugar remains unchanged at 3.S6c per
b. In the meantime, however, two
sales for prompt shipment were made
at basis 3.S9c per h., 90 degree test
Business in June shipments to con-
siderable extent was done at Size.
c. & f. 1920.
At the close the market is quiet and
steady at current quotations and the
offerings for later than June ship
ments are small and held for an ad-
vance say at csc. C. & f. for July.
Thus far buyers show no interest at
advanced prices. Europe had strong
and rising market for the week, beet
sugar advancing from los. SID to los.
SID, and with next crop from IS,
71ad. to los, based on reports of
drought in some parts of Germany, but
ending the week with more favorable
weather for the beet crops, tending
to check the advance, the close being
quiet at los. SID. for June, los Cd for
July and August.
The Cuba crop figures to June list
given herewith show visible of 1,34S,-
ATS tons, against 1881 $50 tons in 1909.
Receipts after this date in 1909 were
1S1 1902 tons. If the amount now re-
naming on the estates, plus a small
additional production this year, shall
equal 1909, the total crop will be l.
53O3SO tons. We give another esti-
mate based upon the returns already
received from the closed estates indi-
eating a crop of 1,4SS,OOO tons.
In view of the possibilities indicat-
ed by these two calculations, we
change our total crop estimate from
100000 tons to 100000 tons mini
mum and 100000 tons maximum, say
1,55O,O00 tons medium. On this basis
of 1,55O,O00 tons Cuba crop we give
an estimate of the possible require
nlents of our refineries of fully duty
paying sugars from September list to
December 31st.
1t does not appear that such imports
will be needed until new crop beets
and Javas are available after Septem-
her 1st, and possibly October LIST, as
if prices asked for such supplies
should prove excessive, retineries
could reduce MEETINGS materially and
force the use for consumption of our
domestic beets refined until raw sup
plies became more free again at prac-
ticable prices.

Cuba together 518,6OS tons, against

THE CROCKETT
REFINERY STRIKE

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-Threat-
cned outbreaks of the strikers at
Crockett yesterday were quelled ny
the laws stern hand in the person
of Constable James Fox, recording
secretary of Warehouse Workers
Union, No. 587, who stepped in and
firmly yet quietly assumed indirect
charge Of the union men. Fox had
the strikers promise to refrain from
any violence.
Possibility of an appeal to other
unions was emphasized last night at
d meeting of the warehousemen, at
which a letter was read from bay and
river steamboat men asking if they
were infringing in any way. No reply
was authorized, but there was dis
cussion of asking the steamboat men
to "sympathize.' There was much
discussion also over a proposed letter
to the Transfers Union in San Fran
cisco, which would, as a matter OF
fact, be but another appeal Action
ON this was deferred until tonight
The warehousemen struck in sympathy
with the teamsters a number of years
ago, and look for a return Of the SEN
timent if the request is made.
Make No Negotiations.
An interesting feature of the strike
is that neither the union men nor
employers have thus far considered
any step toward effecting a settlement.
Sugar company officials said yester-
day that the plant would continue to
be runb y the present force in i'm
ported non-unionists. Union men say
they have enough money in the treas
ury to drive worry away and insist on
a uniform scale of 35 cents an hour
and a nine-hour working day, instead
of 80 and 35 cent scale and a ten and
nine hour day.
Officials of the company hold the de.
mand unfair and exorbitant and say
the strikers are ungrateful ad unrea-
sonable.
Union officials say the demands
made have already been granted by
other refneries and warehouses.
Between 1gO and 200 men are affect
ed by the strike, including warehouse
workers proper, truckers and unload
ing crews. Nearly all these places
have been filled by strikebreakers
The anticipated clash between strikers
and their successors did not material
ize when the strikebreakers filed
across the long bridge leading from
their tents to the plant at 6:30 this
morning. A purpOseful display of fire
hose from vantage points lending a
suggestion keener even than the
morning air. The strikers, however,
resumed their jeers and boots, some
of which brought the desired result in
the detection of five non-unionists.
