UNCERTAINTY in SUGAR PRICE
WEAkENS STOCK MARKET

L has been an erratic week on the
stock market, with weakness the pre-
vailing tone. The drop taken in the
price OF sugar last week is still WELD
ing its influence, III Willie it is now
over four cents, the vacillation
throughout the week has been TOO
great for confidence.
However, the aspect of the week
was materially changed late last eve
ming when a sugar quotation of All
reached the city, and the following
summary of the week is not to be
taken as indicative of today's situa-
ton.
Last Saturday there was tempo
rary recovery, but after the quotation
had gene below four cents again in a
few hours, the slight reaction was
stemmed. Since then the market has
failed to respond and the majority of
price changes have been downward.
Also there has been little activity,
bidding being perfuactory and trans
actions comparatively few.
Stocks that have gone up are Oahu,
McBTyde, Pioneer and Waialua. On
the other hand Hawaiian Commercial

IgI5SUGAR CROP
TO BE HEAVIER,
IS PREDICTION
Estimate of Shortage is Low
cred in WiIIett & Gray'S
Report

An increase In the estimate of the
world sugar crop is made in recent
issue Of Willett & Gray. 1t pre-
diets the crop will be nearly $780,
600 tens heavier than indications a
few weeks ago. It says:
The December production of Cuba
was limited to 54,676 tons or about
one-half the amount to December 81
last year, when 1881 tons were pro.
duced. although only 64,2S1 tons were
produced in 1912
Continued unfavorable weather has
delayed the crop making exception

Of favorable weather conditions the
crop receipts at the shipping ports
should rapidly increase and bring
about more important selling move
ment for awhile until planters have
turned their early productions into
money. The unfavorable weather is
only an incident having temporary
effect on the amount of offerings of
new crop sugars.
No doubt the consumption Of sugar
for the year has been kept down by
the prevailing conditions since July,
but it is still as large as in the former

cane and beet crops to 1.7a2,717 tons,
against cur former estimate OF $40
$50 tons. The only important in
crease is the 12l,7OO tons outside OF
Europe. as those beet crops are not
available for general use. and the in.
creases in those crops are not of i'm

also starts of late and with the cane
giving low sugar yields in instances,
which may later have to be consid,

FEEDING THE BABY CHICKS
Oregon Experiment Station Mskes Recommendation of System to Be
 Followed by PouItryman.

The Oregon station recommends the following system of feeding baby chicks. No food is given until the ehlcksi are about thirty-six hours old. They are then given bran, mixed crum' ply with raw egg, or bread dipped In mi 1k and squeezed dry, twice a day for he first week, and equal parts of crac' ted wheat and cracked corn on cleala sand three times a day. After two or three days the grain mixture IS ad in the lit ter. Clean water, grit, cha rcoal and CT acked bone, in sepa- rate dishes, are kept before them. Ihey also have a ccess to green food. W1en one week ol the chicks are fed a mohs mash of tn rec parts bran, one part wheat middlin, ss, one pound corn meal, and a pinch ol salt-about what they twill eat up in an hour-grain mix ture two or three ti w es a day, beef scraps in hopper, al other supplies as before.

MITES CAUSE IMMENSE LOSS
Common Sentiment Among Farmers That All FIocks Are Troubled by
 Little Marauders.

Many keeper of poultry has had occasion to regret not being careful enough about the nests where the birds lay and where they hatch their broods.
 On farms where poultry are neglect ed it is safe to assume that the nests are worse neglected than any other feature of the poultry establishment. In the majority of neglected 1ocks it will doubtless be found that mites are present. In fact, it is common sentl- ment among farmers that all fiocks have mites The presence of mites in the poultry house means that they are enormously abundant in the nests, where they hide under the nest mate rial.
 When some nests are lifted up it Is found that the under part of the straw is alive with these very small marau- ders. Think of hens trying to stay long enough on such nests to deposit eggs but what is worse, think of hens try ing to hatch out broods with these parasites attacking them nightly.
 Where mites .are present the nests must be. cleaned out every few days and the old material burned. Also the nest boxes should have the cracks filled up to prevent the mites from find ing a. iding place. One of the very good materials to use for this purpose is what is called "tar" in the east and pitch. in the west It is the kind used on the hulls and rigging of vessels and is 1aot: the coal tar so commonly used for various purposes.
 The pitch is solid and easily fills up the cracks and all apertures and will Last forever. It can usually be pur- chased in small quantities and will be found very useful to have about.

GARRISON'S ANSWER TO
ROOSEVELT, TUT, TUT

Washington, Aug. 29.-Secretary of
War Garrison came back" at Col.
Roosevelt Saturday in characteristic
style.
He could not permit the colonels

relations between Wood and the war
department in any respect, he said LAS
to bufoonery," continued the Garrison
statement, tut. tut. colonel, remember
! that when you stub your toe now you
are too old to cry, even If it hurts too
much to laugh"
The case" went on the statement,
sis closed and the verdict must stand.
There is nothing in Mr.. Roosevelt s
plea to reopen the case that would
make it proper to do so. The personal
and official relations between General
Wood and myself concern us and do
not properly concern Mr.. Roosevelt. l
do not require Mr. Rooseyelt's assist
ance to determine what they are or
should be. and l seriously doubt if the
general does.
The administration (outside of my
self has had nothing whatever to do
with this matter, and Mr.. Roosevelt,
! therefore, could not have attained any
authentic knowledge of the views of
the administration concerning his
speech or his conduct from anything
that | have said or done.
las to his assumption that 1 object
to the making of strong pleas for prop
er military preparedness, it would be
impossible for him to entertain more
unwarranted one l have gone to the
limit of my vocabulary in an endeavor
10 make such pleas just as strong as
words could make them. If he has
! found some stronger than l was able
to find, he runs the risk that l will
borrow them. He will, feel sure, per-
nit me to Go as much, without requir-
ing me also to borrow his idea that our
present state of unpreparedness makes
it desirable to engage in war with four
or five other nations"
