Owes HdUREs
on new CROP

A few facts and 6ghresF on sugar
shipments planned for the next crop
are given "a Trent TRUSTEES, pub
lished yesterday. The little paper.
en- organ OF the Trent Trust Company.
gives some very interesting data on
the sugar conditions here with ref
erenee to shipment. The following is
taken from the paper:
The reduction in the sugar tariff
will undoubtedly bring about many
economies in the cost OF producing
and marketing Ehe Hawaiian crop,
some of which are already evident
a. typical illustration Of this new
condition Of things is the recent de-
cision OF the Sugar FACTORS Company
(which concern attends to the trans
Rrting and marketing OF approx
inately So per cent Of the entire Ha-
waiian cropl to increase the Pacific
coast shipments the coming season by
SO 900 tons.
This additional 81, 900 tons was sold
by IL F. Bishop. president Of the
Sugar Factors Company while in San
Francisco recently, to the Western
Sugar Refining Company. The terms
Of sale are understood to be the same
as those governing other Pacific coast
shipments. IS This sale, OF course. Is
independent tof any increase that may
be made later In shipments To- the
Sugar Factors. own refinery at Crock
EFT. 81. \ SSis.
A saving IN freight and handling
amounting to SALT per ton Is thus
effected over sugar going to the At
|lantic seahoard via Tehuantepec. or q
total economy on this $4,000 tons
alone OF 1907 500. When one stops
to eonsiders that the actual profit last
year on Eva plantation amounted to
only sIs.41 per ton, on Oahu s24.46,
ann on Waialua s21.52, the saving Of
|$4.17 per ton represents q very sub
stantial percentage of past profits. As
this years profits will be much small
Ier than those quoted. the percentage
would be even greater If figured on
the present earning capacity Of our
plantations
Without. doubt other opportunities
for economy will become apparent as
the baIl0uS COoIS suiC dklftly Lcu.8 nC
cur :. lment in the tariff will offer
the incentive.
1t is interesting to note the pro-
portion of the Hawaiian output that
Is marketing In San Francisco, as
against the Atlantic consfgnments.
A steady growth Of the former Is
noticeable, as will be seen from the
following table, which shows an In
crease from 10000 tons in 1910 to
TO 600 tons this year. This, however,
does not represent all the Hawaiian
sugar going to San Francisco, as that
portion cf our output not handled by
the Sugar Factors Company. which
amounted to about III 900 tons. In
1872, is also shipped to San Fran
cisco.
n 1912, therefore, about $4,000
tons out of o production Of 595,25S
were marketed OF the Pacific coast.
With the increase of $4,000 previously
mentioned, considerably more than
one-half Of our entire crop will be
consigned to the western refineries
The following table should not be.
used for exact calculation, for the rea-
son that the total production as given
Is for the period October to Septem-
be- 80 of each year, while the figures
Of the Sugar Factors Company repre-
sent the full crop Of each year. Ney-.
ertheless, the table gives suitable in.
formation fer purposes of comparison.
