trade was inclined to look for lower
prices. Before the end Of January,
however, it was realized that the
Cuban crop was moving to market
much more slowly than usual which led
to a sharp upturn in prices at the be-
ginning Of February. -, a,.I#.
With the coming Of better weather

these was the announcement made by
Secretary Ct the Treasury McAdoo
early in October that he would recon-
mend the continuation Of the import
duty ON sugar, which relieved the fear
that the entire beet sugar ciop would
lie rushed to market, and to some ex.
tent lcssened the actual pressure from
this sugar. The slides In the Panama
Canal which interrupted traffic and de-
layed the arrival Of Hawaiian cargoes
also had an Influence, as did a re-
curing scarcity of tonnage which sent
freight rates soaring and prevented
the prompt shipment of supplies from
Cuba. Purchases for foreign account
were resamed- and operated to remove
any fear Of an oyerspppy for the do.
nestle market during the early part Of
1916. The combined influence of these
factors served to bring about rccov,
cry of prices during the final weeks OF
the year, so that the twelvemonth
closed with quotations at approximate.

summer season. The yearly average

Due, IL is said to the oDp0ritipn of
tho '5ugar Trust" the Battelle Sugar
Refining Company Of Hawaii has not
had thu success anticipated in Cuba
and Louisiana in installing its process
for the making of white sugar. For
this reason many of the stockholders
of the concern in Hawaii among whom
are numbered some Of the keenest
hnaneiers and sugar men of the islands
have rather given up hops of the sue
cess Of The proposition and have Jagged
in the payment Of their assessments.
Several weeks ago a notice, was sent
out to the shareholders that a meeting
Of the board of directors had decided
to make a proposition TO them. The
stattment sent to the owners of stock,
Informed them that the cohpany had
