finance PLANS
FOR PHILIPPINE
CENIRALS MADE
q. F. Boomer, Correspondent

a.. r, Boomer, correspondent
MANILA, P. l., March 2S.-The
Philippine National Bank has propos-
ed a plan for financing the erection
of a system Of sugar centre!s for the
manufacture of centrifugal sugar In
the various producing regions Of the
Philippines. The proposal is to raise
the necessary capital by the Issue and
sale of bonds in the United States.
The plan would involve, the organiza-
ton Of industrial corporations among
the landowners in the sugar districts.
Each corporation would include the
owners of sufficient land to supply
one central, and would issue bonds
based on the land of its members or
stockholders for sufficient funds for
the erection of the plant. The Philip
pine National Bank would investigate
each Of the corporations, and guaran-
tee the bonds Of such as were found
to be organized ON sound business
principles. These bonds, running for
10, Is, 20 and % years, would be Of
fered for sale to American capital.
The project Is put forward by the
bank because its charter does not per-
nit the investment of its own capital
in such bonds. It's capital must be
kept available for the usual agricul-
tural and industrial loans.
Field for Modern Sugar Machinery
In case such a project should be
contaminated, the Philippines would
offer field for a vast amount Of
modern sugar machinery. While the
machinery would probably be purchas-
ed by each individual corporation
whose bonds were found sufficiently
sound to be guaranteed by the bank.
It Is probabe that the purchases
would be made with the assistance of
the Philippine Sugar Central Board.
Inquiries addressed to that board in
Manila would bring the latest infor-
nation on the subject.
A group Of the leading plantation
owners of SHAY, Occidental Negroes,
recently formed a corporation with
capital OF $25o,000. The purpose of
the organization is the erection Of
sugar central large enough to take
care Of the cane produced By the in
eorporators. II is now proposed to
raise $4,000 on tke land of the In
corporators for the construction of
the plant.

RICOENDED

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico, April 2S!-
The first general rain since late In
November fell this week and greatly
benefited the cane crop. According
to reports 50 far received rain fell 10
practically every section Of the Island
Serious Drought Prevailed
For the past two or three months
all the cane in the fields has been SUI
fering for lack Of rain ard sugar men
have complained OF one of the most
serious droughts they have experience
ed IN recent years. Besides keeping
down the weight OF the cane now har'
Vesttng the lack Of rain likewise has
seriously damaged the new paintings.
In many sections seed planted during
the past three months has been entire
ly lost, while that which was planted
previously and has some start has been
retarded In its growth.
Continued difficulty is being expert
encad by, the Porto Rican producers Ia
making sugar shipments owing to the
lack of bottoms, and the quantities OF
sugar piling up at almost every cen
trail in the Island are increasing u
alarming proportions Grinding has
continued uninterruptedly throughout
the month and II IL estimated that the
production for April has reached ap-
proximately 100, 900 tons.
Although the Easter estimates OF
both Mr.. Scier and Fritze, Lundt 4
Company indicate q total production
for the crop Of approximately $4,000
ordinary tons, there are many con
sentative sagar men who continue. TO
express the belief that despite these
estimates the production will reach or
slightly exceed 100000 tons. - ..
The largest increase In production
this season over last years outturn for
q single mill win be that reached by
Guanica Centrale. This central last
year made 1857 tens and up to re-
Gently this years estimates for this
mill were carried at rs, $50 tons. Re.
cent reports from lGuanica, however,
state that the mill win have produe'
ton Of 100000 bags of BIS pounds
each, or 7S,750 tons, representing an
increase OF 1900 tons over the earlier
estimate. .,-s .-. -~~-
Favorable Reports Received
The combined output Of Guanica
and Fortuna Centrale this season 10
now placed at over $4,000 tons, and
this in spite Of the fact that there has
been very serious shortage in the
amount Of cane brought from the La
Romano estate in Santo Domingo for
grinding at Guanica. Fortuna is ex-
pected to turn out $4,000 bags, or
II ,S22 tons. =, I
At Central Aguirre It Is expected that
the early estimate of production, name
" $4,000 tons, will be fully reached
this season, while recent reports from
the Fkjardo Sugar Company are TO the
effect that the production there VIII
be approximately the same as last
year, 3e,3S2 tons. as against IN esti-
mated production of q little more than
81 900 tons Facts About Sugar.
