While il cannot be said that sugar
stocks during the past week have i'm
proved. or that the trading in them
was on the increase, il is true that a
spirit OF optimism pervades the mar
ket, giving promise that during the
coming week stocks may recover to
considerable extent.
The news which has reached here
from Washington on the tariff situa-
ton is what has given birth to the
optimism now felt by the dealers.
And though it is not known at this
time what will be the fate of the
Wilson Underwood measure, and
conjectIres with reference to it are
uncertain. the belief that the free
sugar clause viii be stricken from the
bill is becoming general.
This belief will undoubtedly show
its effect on the market during the
coming week. Stocks. though they
may not rise, are expected to at least
hold their own from now until the
fate of the bill is known.
The announcement made in the
Star-Bulletin Friday that Senator
Walsh, the new solon from Montana,
has openly declared against free
sugar, and that other senators are
expected to follow his lead, is taken
by many to mean the death of the
acknowledgement clause; but
even with the defeat of that portion
of the bill in the, senate, new diff
culties remain in wait.
With the knocking out of the clause
and the Inconvenience of the
house, the bill will go to conference
and the result will be an agreement,
it is feared, by which the tariff on
sugar will be fixed at compromise
figure, one which may be so as to
make it impossible for the domestic
industry to compete with foreign pro-
ducerS.
1t is this fact which the big dealers
have kept in mind, and has somewhat
tempered their optimism at the news
of two senators boiling the proba-
bility OF others following.
However that may be, the point OF
the most opposition-free sugar
seems to be nearly won, and what
ever a conference committee may do,
Or not do, though important, is not
regarded as vial as the main issue.
And in the meantime, that is while
the bill is before the senate for It's
next two readings the optimism along
the street is expected to grow, with
the consequent Improvement Of stock
prices. -
But the improvement cannot be
expected to Eer much more than NOM
inal. Sensational recoyeries wiz
probably not be noted until the
measure is definitely and finally set
tied, and then only in the event the
free sugar clause is eliminated and
the tariff fixed at about its present
figure. Business in many lines
throughout the United States is being
held back, to be released when the,
bill is finally signed, at which time
1--WE may expect prompt return to
more normal activity" using the
words of Henry Clews in his late
bulletin.
Many important realty deals, in
volving large amounts of land in Ho-
nolulu, are underway, yet will prob
ably not be consummated until the
tariff is settled on sugar.
A summary of the business on the
market for the week shows that
there were 5311 shares sold, against
1851 during the former week. The
sum of the sales samounts to
$50, 717.07, against $S7,154.65 for last
week.

The program for an immediate re-
duction of rs per cent and free sugar
after three years, involves an imme-
date loss of about $1,000,000 year
to the California beet sugar industry.

reference to any development loss of

COMMERCIAL NOTES

A number of government loans have
recently met with poor success, says
Henry Clews, the latest example being
the Brazilian $55,00o,000 olan, of which
the underwriters, the Rothschilds,
were compelled to take 80 per cent
at discount The European financial
situation is materially affected by pay
nents for the Balkan war which are
likely to result in at least $500,00O. 900
new state issues Added to this is the
tremendous burden of armed peace,
which a prominent French economist
has recently estimated costs the prin-
cipal governments CT Europe not less
than two billion dollars per annum.

the tariff on cattle is a mere baga-
telle, and yet 1t is proposed to wipe
out this source of revenue and rely on
the income tax to Offset II. And Loui-

raising their voices in protest against
an action that is as inconsistent as 1t
is unjust.
The new Panama tramway Is now
receiving its IL cars ordered from the
United States The Canal Commits
sion is completing a transmission
cable thereto from the Miraflores
power plant, but the tramway COM
pany will erect a modern electric
light and power plant, with 1200-kilo-
watt capacity, equipped probably with
Diesel oil engines. The company will
sell commercial lighting and power at
81 per cent reduction from prevailing
rates and agrees to give the Panama
government per cent of its gross
earnings.
Predictions have been made that IL
the settlement of the tariff were to
be delayed for six months, 1000, 600
working people would be walking the
streets without employment. That
the tariff has a definite relation to
employment and wages is shown by
the fact that while England has 49,
100000 people and $4,000 paupers,
the nited States has 92.O00,0 900 peo-
pie and only $4,000 paupers. In 9TH
er words, the United States with
population two and a half times as
great as England has only one-tenth
as many paupers.
Bank clearings at all cities in the
United States during April showed a
shrinkage of nearly per cent COM
pared with year ago. the largest
declines being in the New England
and Middle States, where tariff
changes would be most felt The fail
ures in April aggregated $4,000, 900
in liabilities, a moderate increase OF
about $2,00O,QOO over last year.
