Honolulu is a well regulated city. !
There are few mainland cities where

Developing Cuban Sugar
Industry on Larger Scale

ment of Cuba Opinions we're obtained

the advance In sugar prices throughout
the world had not increased plantation
valuations when cash was 20 be the con-
sidera ton.
Now Selecting Plantations.
J. & w. seligman & Co.. the Guaranty
Trust Company, the. house of Morgan,
the sugar house of Rionds and their az
sociates became interested in the pro-
motion Of q sSo,oco,o 900 syndicate. With
no authorized public announcement, 80, :
Ooo. 900 of cash was this year paid In and
Mr.. Rionda is now in Cuba selecting
from his options those plantations which
can be most sdvsntageously united for
economical operation
Later the Cuban Cane Sugar Corpora
tion will be organized with So0co,oo
per cent preferred shares and similar
number OF common shares without par
value
1t is planned that s0,ooo.coo In cash
goes into the plantations which, with
their railways and machinery, are taken
over as of December last, the begin
ming OF the Cuban grinding season. AL
expenses OF the preceding dry season are
20 be met by the vendors. The balance,
81. 600 900, will be reserved for working
capital. but no dividends upon the com
mon shares are to be paid until a sum
equal TO at least two years preferred
dividends shall have been accumulated
from earnings.
Bstimated Esrsinxs.
Beyond the preferred dividend all the
nrofts in this enterprise to the orge niz-
ers and the syndicate subscribers must
| be found in the common stock. II is
understood that the syndicate members
get seventy per cent Of this. II is es-
timated that the corporation will, the
first year. earn not less thon slb per share
upon the common stock after the pay
nent OF seven per cent upon the prefer
red, and IL is provided that the preferred
stock may be converted into common
stock or may be redeemed at 10.
II is figured that the present status
| of the European bellieerents insures a
high sugar market for two years and
that thereafter the company will have
cash working capital OF not less than
$4,000 ooO.
With sugar at its bottom price, or two
cents per pound, the company should
earn ct least one and one-half times the
dividend on the preferred. The proper
I ties go into the corporation free OF all
debt and on a basis OF tl25o per bag
! OF annual production estimated at {, 500,
90 bags, or one-siXth Of the total pro-
duction of Cuba; and Cuba is now pro-
ducing one-ffth Of all the worlds sugar.

Much mystery surrounded the identity
of the purchaser of the New York State
bonds from the First National Bank. In
Investment banking circles the belief
prevailed that a pool of rich men had
been organized and bought the securi-
ties. Among the names mentioned were
George F. Baker. who is chairman Of the
First National Bank, and ]. D. Rookie
feller. This, however, could not be con-
frmed.
Aside from the State bond sale. the
dividend meeting of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul directors
came In for discussion. The directors
usually announce their decision after
the close of the stock market, but to-
day they made known their verdict of
shortly before the cessation of stock
trading.
The speculative public is inquisitive
as to whether st. Paul will follow the
example of other stocks. which have
declined following announcement of

Sugar has been bounty-fed In Germany,

with destruction in Hawaii unless duty

child of Spain, has emerged from every
revolution or insurrection and forged
ahead in sugar production without cui-

sugar from the beet in Germany, but

The largest Cuban sugar nerchsnt pro-

of the duties on Cuban cane sugar. He
declared: This would be gift of $50,
