IMPORTS OF LUXURIES INTO
UNITED STATES THIS FISCAL YEAR

LuNuries imported into the United
States during the fiscal year which
ends with next month will exceed
200 million dollars in value. Under
this term, "mxuries, are included
such articles as diamonds, art work,
laces and embroideries, champagne
and other wines, tobacco and manu-.
features thereof ostrich feathers, arti-
fetal flowers, toys, perfumerles and
cosmetics, iewelry, manufactures of
gold and silver, and numerous others
of this general character.
In many of these articles. especially
the more important ones, the imports
of the fiscal year 1912 will exceed in
value those of any earlier year. Art
works, for example, show for the nine
months ending with March, a total
exceeding by fifty per cent the highest
record of any earlier year, and will ap.
proximate forty million dollars in
value for the full fiscal year, as against
twenty-five and half million dollars
in 1911 and twenty-one million in 1910
Diamonds will also show a large
total for the fiscal year 1912. The nine
months figures thus far received by
the Bureau of Statistics, Department
of Commerce and Labor, show for dia
monds and other precious stones a
total of thirty and a half million dol
lars, indicating for the full year a
total of about forty-one million dol
lars, thus exceeding the record of any
earlier year except 1910, when the
total was nearly forty-eight million
dollars, and 1907, when the total was
forty-two and a half million. Uncut
diamonds will amount to about one
fourth of the grand total OF precious
and semi-precious stones.
Laces and embroideries are also ar
important factor in the general grouT
of "luXuries," or articles of voluntary
use, imported. They will amount il
value in the current year to abou
forty-four million dollars. The growtl
in the importation of the great grouI
has been very rapid, the total Of 1907
a decade ago, having been less tina.
thirty million dollars and III
increase in the decade fully fifty pc
cent. This total of forty-four millio
dollars, includes laces and embroidel
ies, edgings, insertings, ruchings
trimmings, tuckings, lace window cur
tains, and other articles of this gene

CUBAN ANNEXATION IS FEARED
BY HAWAIIAN SUGAR PLANTERS

Local sugar men view with min
gled feelings the developments of the
pilikia in Cuba In the light of its
immediate effect a vigorous rebellion
Just now might be profitable to Ha-
wall financially, through the curtail-
ment of the big sugar crop which the
Cuban sugar men are rushing to mar
let, and which undoubtedly is inlu-
encing the price of the commodity,
However, over two-thirds of the
crop has already been harvested, so
a curtailment of the output at this
stage would probably not have a very
married. influence on prices.
On the other hand some of the Ha-
waiian planters have been having a
cold sweat for fear the Cuban tur-
MOL spells annexation of the West
Indian republic by the United States.
There is a strong suspicion that GER
tain financial interests have some
part in the present trouble. Of late
years a larger and larger amount of
American capital has been invested in
Cuban sugar and other agricultural
enterprises. What is more natural
than that this capital should speed
