rThe past year, gave W q new rec
ord III our crop Of sugar, the total
yield being 646 As tons, this amount
exceeding that Of 1914, the next lare-
est. BY 29,4 tons.
Some Of the credit for this large
yield Is due to the exceptionally Ia
Norable weather in the summer or
1914. which especially benefited the
nondrrigated pianfatiQns on the lsianu
Of Hawaii.
The average price Tor our product
for the year ending October 81 last,
based on the average Cuban basis for
96 degree centrffugals, IN New YORK,
was 4 1894 cents per pound or $S9.S6s
per ton. q
Good crops OF sugar have been
obtained IN all the cane-growing coun-
tries and with the yield OF the beet
crop on the mainland also large, as
well As falling off In the worlds
consumption. lower prices were ex-
nected fowards the close of the year.
