CHAMBER ACTS
scpg,fr- H..

! SAN FRANCISCO, December 30
The San Francisco Chamber of Com.
merce has taken a stand in favor of
the domestic beet sugar industry and
in opposition to the withdrawal of the
tariff on imported sugar. At recent
meeting a resolution to this effect was
adopted and copies of it have been
forwarded to every Chamber of Com
Imerce in California, as well as to
Senators Perkins and Works and Con
gressmen Kahn and Hayes.
The resolution presents a condensed
statement of the sugar tariff question
as it affects California. 1t points out
that the annual consumption in this
country has reached approximately g.
$4,000 tons, drawn from Porto Rico
Louisiana and Texas, Hawaii, Philip
pine Islands, domestic beet, and cane
imported almost entirely from Cuba.
Some 1,719,O0O tons of cane sugar
are being imported To produce this
much in beet sugar, the report points
out, only a little more than 1,446,O0O
acres of the 247,OOO,OOO acres available
for sugar beet raising in this country
would have to be utilized.
The resolution ends with a para
graph calling attention to the adapta-
bility of California climate aud soil for
sugar beet raising, and concludes:
The San Francisco Chamber OF
Commerce cannot look with favor on
action which will retard
the expansion of this promising indus

KINGS
SECOND GALL

The investigation into the conditions
at the Mountain King mine, which
was ordered by the Honolulu stock
holders at a recent meeting, can not
be made until some time in February,
according to a statement made this
morning.
Albert Burch, the mining expert who
is to be employed by the Honolulu
people to make the examination of the
property, is engaged until early in
February and can not undertake the
work before that time So it will be
some time in March before the report
of the expert is received in Honolulu.
The local stockholders held a meet
ing a few weeks ago and voted to
assess themselves a cent a share to
defray the expense of employing an
expert to go from San Francisco to
the mine and make thorough exam
nation of it. Since that time the IN
rectorate of the company has issued
notice of another assessment to be
made.

OLAA'S GOOD
YEAR TELLING

Another block OF a thousand shares
of Olaa stock was sold today at So.
This big sale, unlike the one of two
days ago, was reported. to the ex.
change and appears today on the
stock sheet
In ALL 1855 shares are reported TO
have been sold. Who the buyer is re.
mains a secret, but it is known that
the Henry Warehouse Trust Gonna
ny purchased the stock for one of it's
clients.
The renewed activity in Olaa is sup.
posed to be due to the excellent show.
ing made by the plantation last year.
During the year it cut down its in.
debtedness, aside from bonded in
debtedness, just about half, paying
off approximately S35O,OOO. 1t is ex.
pected that the other half of the out
standing Indebtedness will be wiped
out this year.
Pioneer was strong this morning
at the session, although no sales are
reported. One.thirty was bid but
holders stuck out for $132.5O.
Waialua dropped off a fraction, fifty
shares going at $12S.5O, as against
1929 yesterday.
Oahu lowered around S35, forty
shares being sold at that figure and
thirty at an eighth less.
A block of 100 shares Of Hawaiian
Commercial sold at $4225. Brewery
made another advance, fifty shares
changing hands at $3.50.
One bond sale is recorded, that of
$4,000 Olaa 6s at S94.5O.

SUGAR is NEAR
BOTTOM PRICES

Willett & Grayis most recent sugar
market review is as follows:
Raws.-The week under review is
holiday week, during which for sew.
eral days there was little or no mar.
ket at home or abroad. Notwitb-
standing this there was a sagging
trend to prices here showing at the
close a decline Of .OS5c. per pound in
the spot quotation for centrifugals TO
4.65c. per pound basis, SO deg. test.
after touching 4.61c. The European
decline, so long and so large from 19s.
down to 14s. sgd, appears to he
checked with a eight recovery to
los, but closing dull at 14s. 9Hd.
New crop Cubas for January ship
ment can be had at basis of last sales.
3Bc. c. and f., 90 deg. test, which is
very likely to prove within &c. per
pound of bottom prices, as the re-
quirements for refining will soon
bring buyers ipto the market quite
largely.
Cane crop reports are quite favor
able in all directions from which the
U. S. refiners obtain their supplies.
and particularly as regards Cuba.
Porto Rico and Hawaii No new esd-
mates have been issued. Cuba cable
figures for the week gave first re-.
ceipts of new crop being 5000 tons at
six ports, 5000 tons for whole island,
with AZ Centrals working, against "a
last year and II In 1903.
Total stock is United States and
Cuba together is 111,O14 tons, against
62,217 tons last year. The four ports
U. S. figures for week are receipts
1890 tons, MEETINGS 26OOO tons.
Refined remained unchanged for
the week at 5.75c per pound, less 2
per cent for standard fine graduated
by all cane refners, with Michigan
beet factories prices steady at 5.55c.
less per cent, New York basis.
San Francisco prices are: For cane
graduated 5.S0c per pound and for
beet granrlated $500. Per pound net
cash.
The moderate existing demand is
likely to continue over the new year
The recent high prices for refined
have TO doubt limited somewhat the
comparative consumption of both
beet and cane production.

CHARGES WILFUL
DELAY OF CASE

Another move in the Kukaiau plan
tation fight between the Horner broth
ers was made in the circuit court this
morning when Robert Horner filed n
motion that the peremptory writ of
mandamus ordered by the court on De.
cember % issue at once, notwithstand-
ing the appeal to the Supreme Court
taken by Albert Homer and the plan
tation.
The motion sets forth that the ap-
peal to the Supreme Court is merely
for the purpose of delay, that the re-
spondents are endeavoring, by delay
ing proceedings in entering their APP
peal and getting their case before the
Supreme Court for hearing, 60 prevent
the annual meeting from being held as
ordered by the court, and that by
their taking all the time allowed to
perfect an appeal, which amount OF
time is not necessary in this case. the
petitioner will lose all the benefit of
the decision of the circuit Judge. No
bond, the motion claims, has been
given to protect the plaintiff against
loss by reason of the appeal
The motion is supported by an af-
fdavit of c. H. Olson, attorney for the
plaintiff, in which he alleges that the
respondents are wasting time and that
not even a transcript of the evidence
has yet been made by them

HOME INSURANCE COMPANY
IS DOING GOOD BUSINESS

In an interview this morning with a
Star reporter, q. X. Myers, manager of
the Home Insurance Company of Ho.
nolulu, gave out that the condition and
business of the company to date are
of the most satisfactory nature.
In the first place, the confidence
which has been shown by the people
of the Territory in this new organiza-
ton is all that could be hoped for. To
give an idea of the extent to which
the people had replied to the com.
pany's bid for business, Mr.. Myers
cited the fact that they had written so
far one policy of $36,5OO, two of $40, 900
each, one of $4,000, one of $4,000.
four of $4,000 each, one of $4,000, a
number of $4,000 each, and many
smaller policies, the premiums thus
far amounting to $7211.S4.
As the capital of the company is as
yet comparatively small; large part
of the big business must be protected
by reinsurances with the large compa-
MES of the mainland and Europe. so as
not to endanger the future of the To-
cal company. The Home company has
reinsurance contracts with six of the
large companies, and also handles
three general agencies, which makes,
with this office, ten in all.
Mr.. Myers states that the local agen-
cies of other companies have respond
ed as well as could be expected in the
matter of exchange business, and that
in time there would be no feeling of
jealousy extant among them.
1T is only reasonable" Mr.. Myers
said, that they should all work in
harmony and thereby derive a mutual
benefit by keeping more of the insur-
ance money at home"
In the past years it is estimated that
in the neighborhood of 100000 per
annum has left the islands to fill the
insurance Golfers of the mainland and
Europe. .,.- ,-''rs' ----.
The local company is out for all bus.
mess and realizes good profit from the
Oriental section. 1t is IT'S policy not
only to get it's share of the old writ
ings, but also to create new business
wherever it is possible to do so.
Besides the fire insurance, the Home !
company will take up the industrial
end of the business. The Importance
Of this division" said Mr. Myers, "can. |
not be overestimated as every COM
pany that has taken it up has realized
enormous profits and has become a
powerful company" The fundamental |
secret of this division is that it e,lu- /
Gates the people, it creates the desire !,
to have something ahead as well as ,
the habit of laying aside small reguI
lar payments, and so the people be-
come acquainted with possibilities and
also are drawn into the office, where :
they learn the advantages of all in
surance. This subject was treated ex-
tensively by Richard Grant in a No
vember issue of Harper's Weekly. MI
Grant says:
"On December 81, 1910, there were
twenty.three industrial companies hav-
ing issued policies to the extent of
$29, OS4, 463, representing a sum of 49,,

LATE SHIPPING

The Hongkong Maru berthed at the
foot of Fort street this afternoon
shortly after half-past one, complet-
ing a passage from Yokohama that
was married by a very severe storm.
For two days the storm ragged and
the vessel had to be slowed down con
siderably. Had it not been for this
she would have been here yesterday
Fortunately, she came through with
out any damage at all and, beyond
severe shaking up, the passengers
were none the worse for their expe-
rience.
The HOngkong has no cargo or pas
sengers for here. She merely called
in to take in 100 tons of coal to re
plenish her bunkers. She has, how
ever, sixteen bags of mail She brings
files up to December 20.
For South American ports, whittier
she is bound, she has a large number
OF passengers-4S altogether-diyld-
ed up into fifteen in the first cabin,
forty-four in the second and 429 in
the Storage. There are 179 Chinese
in the steerage, seven Peruvians and
243 Japanese. They are all going to
Peru, with the exception of the Chi
nese, who go to Chilli.

is Mr.. Yokoyama of the Lower House
of Japan He has party Of five
young students with him who are on
vacation to study conditions ruling
in the South American ports. 1t is

tive of the Fisheries Bureau of the
