SCRAPS TOCARRY

Former German Boat Chartered

places One Voyage Of Texan

Two sugar carrying voyages between
Hawaii and the mainland will be made
by the Scraps, one of the steamers
taken over by the United States when
has been secured for those two Noy-
ages by the American Hawaiian com,
pany and her cargors will care for the
sugar that would have been taken had

was learned in the office of the sugar
FACTORS Company yesterday.
il * now expected that the Scraps
will be loaded and ready to sail by

of sugar, 1000 toms, but will take none
from Honolulu. Her loading points will
be KaanapaIi and Kahuui ,...,.
Following tn" departure Of the Sierra

ably get assay September or q. She
will load tom Honolulu, Kahului and
HilO and via take between $4,000 and
l4,0Oo tons Then will come the Mexi-
can, loading at the same ports and
taking tie same quantity, approx
mately ard then the Scraps, again,
'Glling the place of the Texan and TAX
ing 1000 tons. This will accommodate
in all more than 4O,HO0 tons of sugar
to eastern ports. -.,''
SO far as sugar ~ Crockett is con
cerned the Matson line is expected TO

ton. Sugar planters hold that this OBJ
lection is not only not well founded,
but that future sugar crops cannot be
prOftably cultivated and harvested un-
less Asiatics are included as admissible
immigrants in the pending bill. Sugar
planters are giving President Menocl
full credit for taking prompt and de-
cisiye action in urging congress to pass
this bill with the AsIatics included in
the admissible classes.
Bond Payment Authorized
The extra session of congress now
sitting has adopted the recommended
tons of the President relative to the
approval of the payment of the bonds
of the Port Improvement Company,
commonly known as "El Dragado, !"
and the payment of the bonds has
been authorized by both houses. Pres
ident Menocal has been considered in
consistent by some of his opponents in
his attitude toward the payment of
these bonds, since one of his first acts
during his first administration was to
issue the decree cancelling the rights
of this company.
The measure WAS studied carefully
by q commission of Cuba s ablest law
had no rights legally or morally that
the government was compelled to rec
Ognize, aud at that time the President
was generally commended for issuing
the decree above mentioned.
Those who know President MenOcal
well do not believe that he has changed
his original opinion. They state now
that his change in attitude has been
brought about by pressure from out
side sources of an International char
acter, and of nature that has made
the payment of these bonds of consid-
crable present advantage TO the Cuban
government. When Cuba became An
ally Of the United States and England
and entered the European war, the
claims of the citizens of these two
above mentioned countries, who were
bondhoiders in I'll Dragado, had to be
satisfied in order to fulfill all "En-
tente" obligations.
1t is reported that Col. Charles Her
nandez, the present postmaster gener'
al of Cuba, is slated for the newly
created oilhe Of secretary of the war
and navy department.
Or. Leopoldo Cancia, secretary of
the treasury, has been temporarily
designated to act as secretary of agri-
culture TO replace Gen. Emilio Nunez,
who is now vice,president. The official
announcement Of his appointment
stated that Doctor Cancia would hold
the Office for a period of two months
or until new secretary was appoint

Pioneer Average Net Return For
Each Ton IS Higher Than
Those of Three Others

Good receipts, so far as returns havo
been received up TO Angst ], have been
enjoyed by the sugar companies of Ha.
wall. This is shown by figures which
have been secured relative to output,
shipments and returns of four of the
big plantations, Eva, Waialua, Pioneer
Will and Oahu Agricultural Company.
OF these the highest net receipts per
ton were earned by Pioneer. ~. Vs..
In quoting what earnings Of these

SUGAR MARKET IS /.

RefinerS Buy All In Sight But Are
Anxious About Control
Action BY Hoover 1873.

Buoyancy of refined sugar in the
market and watchful tendency of
refners in contracting for their cut
put in an atmosphere emerged with
electricity and no one knowing
where the lightning from the food
control clouds will strike are told in
the weekly letter which a local agency
has received from its New York repre-
sentative under date of August Q. The
writer looks for still higher prices and,
commenting on the situation, says:
t'Again we have had a week of soar
ing prices and no reason to believe that
the top has been reached. -.
RefRers have bought for Septem-
Der shipment all Cubas offered at six
and five.eighths cents G. u +. and with
duty sugars at an even higher parity.
Porto Ricos for August September
shipment have been snapped up at
T.52 cents g. L. +. after having been
turned down only a day or two
before at 7.34 cents. Some be
Heye the market is due for reaction,
but others are firm in the belief that
until u strong hand takes hold, the
present prices and even higher ones
are inevitable. Today a refner, said
70 Howell, bought 5000 bags Cubas for
September shipment at six and five
eighths cents G. 4 +. which cleans uT
the market Of sugars on offer at hif
pfiee. Both Howell and Arbuekle are
ready buyers at that figure but the
only lot now Offering is 10000 bags
August September shipment at six aud
three-fourths cents and this, we just
learn, has been taken in by the FEEDER
al along with 1900 bags September
shipment at the same price. .......,

CROP CONDITIONS
ON HAWAII GROWING
MUCH MORE SERIOUS

Drouuht Continues Unbroken In
Some Districts and Whole
Cane Belt Is Damaged
LITTLE HOPE IS FELT
FOR SAVING NEXT CROP
Maui Dry But Not Badly DAM
aged Rainfall On Oahu and
Kauai Is Above Normal

No Improvement in weather cOndi
tions is reported from Hawaii and Maui
In the drought striker sections of the
Big Island the fields are dryer than
ever and hopes of saving fair amount
of next years crops are growing faint
err. Cane is drying, growing yellow
dying and the young shoots that wOulo
go to make up the 1919 crop are furth-
or retarded at the period when they
should be making the best Of Roadway.
Unless rain comes soon these tender
stalks will wither and die. Two years
shortages, not one, are threatened On
Maui conditions are not nearly so bad
as on Hawaii, but they are materially
worse than they were week ago.
Very Dry In North Kohala
North Kohala, Hamakua and North
Hilo had no rains of Importance las,
week as is shown by the weekly wealth
er report and crop bulletin issued by
the weather bureau. In North KOhalt
third Of an inch of rain fell in the
week but the total for -four months
more than nine inches below the moi
NAL At kOhala Mil the precipitation;
was OH of an inch and the moisture
for the past four months Is only about
n third Of the normal. Kohala Mission
reports OH Of an inch of rain and is
more than eleven inches under the nor.
NAL for four months aIaud for five
months as we'll Multi. had 0.lg of
an inch of rain and is ten and half
inches below normal
Whole Cane Belt Suffers
In Hamakua no rainfall is reported
from the Hamakua station nor from
Paauhau. For five months the forme'
has had about one third of the
normal rains and the latter less than
one,fourth.
North Hilo is less affected but con
ditions are very bad. 0okala had oil
of an inch and has had about half the
normal for five months. Laupahoehoe
had 0.2S of an inch and the average
compared with former years is also
about half for the past four and
five months. Honohina had 0.70 and
was only five inches below normal for
five months, or about one sixth under.
The need Of a good soaking rainfall
is felt throughout the entire cane belt
of the Big Island, says the crop bulle-
fin. 1t adds that dry weather continu-
ed on Maui but that there were good
rains on Kauai. On Oahu the rainfall
for the late winter, spring and summer
months is well above the normal.
