SUGAR MARKET
BEFORE LONG
czarnikow-Rionda Company,
Wall Street Brokers, Regard
Price Recession Lightly

The following summary of the sugar
markets of the world is an excerpt
from the market letter issued on July
81 by Czarnikow-Rionda Company,
Wall Street sugar brokers, which
reached Honolulu in the last mail.
The recession of prices for future
deliveries on the exchange to level
much below that at which refiners
were willing to purchase actual sugars
in similar positions, has recently de-
priyed distressed" sugars OF the sup
port extended them from that source
on previous occasions when found in
similar predicament," says the let
ter, and continues:
while the recorded spot quotation
of 4.S6c, basis 96 per cent, was there
by lowered to 4.64c, this must not be
considered as an abrupt decline of .22c
per pound, for in view of business at
concessions therefrom during the past
fortnight, the former had been a NOM
inal figure for some days.
Another factor of depressing influ-
ence has been the recent poor demand
experienced in refined sugar for this
season of year. That this abstention
from the market by the trade was due
more to the wide disparity between
the prices of raws and refined than
to any oyer-supply. seems clearly dem
onstrated by the published figures of
MEETINGS since January LIST at the At
lantic ports and New Orleans. This
years total of 100000 tons to July
2Sth is only 5000, tons in excess of
the amount for the corresponding per-
iod last year. while exports from At
lantic ports to foreign countries with
only 1887 tons year ago.
Reduce Previous Margin.
Developments during the week
have tended partially, If not entirely,
to eliminate these apparently unfavor-
able features from the situation, the
recent lowering of prices by refiners
to basis of 5.5S6c net cash for fine
granulated. having reduced their pre-
vious margin of S.24c per pound to
one of only .945c per pound.
Added encouragement was derived
from the temperance of the United
Kingdom after rather prolonged abb
sence in the market for Cubas, about
10000 tons for August shipment hav-
ing been taken by those buyers at
the basis of S.60c, I. 0. b. Cuba. 1t
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-08-14

was also rumored that some buyers
were negotiating for a fair line of
United States refined sugar, but that
inquiry is understood not to have re-
suited in actual business as yet.
France, however, has been a steady
buyer of moderate quantities of the
latter description. That country is es-
timated to have purchased about 10,-
900 tons of graduated during the
week, including limited quantity of
cubes. and present indications point
to an increased volume to that quar-
ter. not only in refined but also in
raws, from this side of the Atlantic.
Prospective Demand.
"In view of this gratifying prospec-
tive demand from foreign sources, the
fact that Cuba has today in stock say
126, 900 tons more Of her crop than re-
NAMED on hand a year ago, cannot be
construed as an argument that such
surplus Is likely to weigh upon the
market here for the balance of the
current campaign, for the probabilities
are that all of 1t, and perhaps even
more will be needed to supply the re-
quirements of other consuming CEN
tiers.
From this angle of observation it
will be seen that the situation does
not forecast more than normal sup
plies to meet United States require
ments, and the future trend of prices
depends almost entirely upon holders
of the remainder of Cuba's crop, who
control the bulk of the raw sugars
available for refiners here during the
next few months at least.
ut might also be pointed out that
any pressure to sell just at this time
would not only depreciate the value
of existing stocks, but would also, to
some degree, reflect upon the value
of Cuba's next crop, which should soon
commence to attract the attention of
the United Kingdom, France, and per
haps other foreign countries, In need
of sugars when these become avail
able"

COMMERCIAL NOTES

It's 1915 crop was finished at the
close of last week by the Pacific Su-
gar Mill, more Familiarity known as
Kukuihaele. Finals will be announced
in few days.
Grinding of its 1915 crop is expected
to be completed this week by the Nc
Bryde Sugar Company. The finals will
not be reported for another week, un-
til the low grades are all drained off.
A 10-days' shutdown is in effect at
the Honokaa Sugar Company's mill,
to allow the entire attention of the
employees to be conferred on cultiva-
ton. This plantation will complete
its harvest in about a month.
Grinding is 20 finish next week at
the 0ahu gu sar Compares Rant. Up
to August 4 the nib had prsduce6 49,
S3S tons. George Rodiek stated this
week that the total will easily reach
29,500. which exceeds bys1560 tons the
estimate made the firstaof this year.
Nearly 10000 tons of sugar have
been ground this year by the Maka-
we'll mill. The exact figure is 29,850
tons, of which the. Hawaiian Sugar

WILD OATS.

A reader asks whether wild oats plowed down this fall will grow. They will--if not this fall, next year or some time in the future. It's a crop that neither land nor man can SOW without surety of 8 harvest. Sometimes they only damage the fields. Often they blacken and blast and wither the life. There is no joy in the sowing and no profit in the harvesting. They spring green over the worthier crops of the field and they sap the better ambitions of life. Wild oats grow-be very sure of that. The man who sows them may always be depended upon to do the reaping. It is not turned over to your neigh bor nor your neighbours son, but re- served for him who sows them: and the harvest is bountiful.
 Wild oats sowed in early life may often times be ripened in later years but the harvest Is inevitable. .--

THE OTHER FELLOW.

What a jolly, convenient old chap lis the other fellow. What a tremen- dous burden he has to shoulder from the selfish people of the world. Is there law that is unpopular, it is intended for the other fellow. Do you do your duty to your city? Mo- but look at the other fellow! We have no children, yet we vote for the other fellows children to do so and so; we are not able to do certain things, but shoulder them off on the other fellow. We do not care to vote but why should the other fellow vote when we won't? We do not care for municipal improvement, so block the other fellow who does. We pay no taxes but we insist upon the. other fellow paying his and then tell him how to spend the money.
 We have no set rules of health, or morals, or religion; but we can al- ways tell the other fellow just how to conduct his affairs.
 My, what handy, handy man is the other fellow!

MRS. MALONEY's GOAT.

The anxious endeavors of the edi- tor of the Municipal organ to prove that his friends are all right in their attitude on municipal questions re- minds us somewhat of Mrs. Malon- ey's goat (with apologies, of course, to the goat}:
 Mrs. Maloney had a goat which was at once the joy and plague of her life She always had an excuse for the animal and no matter how ab- surd it sounded the better she was satisfied with it.
 One morning Mrs. Murphy passed down the street and observed Mrs. Maloney's goat standing up against the fence, looking desperately i'll. Straightway she bolted for her old friends house to tell her the news.
 Mrs. Maloney, do yez know yure goat is sick"
 Me goat sick, not on your loife, ' answered Mrs. Maloney.
 But" says Mrs. Murphy, "As Oi passed yer fince I seen him lanin' up aginst the post, lookin' fayrful sick. "
 "Oho!" says Mrs. Moloney, "Tis not sick he is; he clim upon the table and ate the mistletoe, and he's just lookin' sintimental!"
 They are not sick of their attitude, they are just sentimental"

Is it any wonder that the Senator is so insistent that the city keep up its legal battles, when great big juicy slices come his way at regular intervals? For a man who lives out side the city limits, he certainly gets his share of the tax money of the men he is pounding on the back to pay more.

$150 for the Senator, $150 for the Seward attorney, or $500 in all. This is for attorneys fees alone An other two. hundred was spent for oth- CT incidentals. What use is it to col lect taxes if they are to be paid over to nonresident attorneys?

lTcdI udS cIoCLcu hnC UuoAhCoS block at heavy expense. Other cit ies would have gladly rebated the taxes for five or ten years to get the unsightly lots covered with produc- tive property. MT. Treat was prompt ly assessed to the limit, on the plea that the property would return a certain per centum on the invest ment. On the other hand, property whose productiveness was utterly de- stroyed by the great fire, was held at the same high figure. Why this in consistency? If one mans taxes is raised because it produces more rev. enue, why should not the other fel- lows be lowered because it produced nothing?
 The real reason for this increase in taxation was because MT. Treat built near the approach to the Valdez Dock. i In the Dock case the company is taxed ten cents per ton on all freight landed on the wharf, is taxed again for it's wharf and improvements, and is again taxed for its shore buildings and approach. In case the city at torney's plans were lawful the com pany would be compelled to pay one thousand more dollars taxes at 2 per cent valuation on $50,0O0. Do you consider this is right on busi- ness like this? The tonnage last year was approximately 5000 tons. $500 was paid to the city for this privilege.
 We have put the proposition to you exactly as it looks to us and to every outsider. You may be preju- diced and willing to spend ALL the tax money to gain your point; but what about the other fellows rights?
 How large town would Seattle be today if her city had built wharf and insisted upon all the business of the city being done over that wharf?
 How. large will Valdez be in ten years from now if capital is harrass- ed and blackmailed by non-residents, who are the only ones who make out of it?
 City tax receipts were larger this year because of a per cent levy on boosted valuations. Not because of any extra money pried from "corpo- rations," but because ALL property values were unnecessarily inflated. They were boosted for the sole reason that these non-taxpayers wanted to handle more of the taxpayers money. Now that they have got it they are playing ducks and drakes with it.
 Why not take this 5000 spent in suits that the city is sure to lose, on more and better fire apparatus. This would have purchased good chemi- cal engine, which is one of the things Chief Ethical has been wanting. It would have permitted the installation of a Gamewell system, or electric firebells, without forcing the depart ment to go to the necessity of giving a dance for the money. The city has highly efficient man at the city hall in charge of the fire apparatus; why not give him an assistant, or pay him more money?
 It would have purchased fine ad dition to the library; or given us bet ter sidewalks. The city has built no new sidewalks to speak of since Al White was in office.
 To sum up the situation why not spend the taxpayers money on the taxpayers instead of on nonresident attorneys?
