The annual meeting of the Holland
 County Farm Bureau was held yester
 day afternoon at Rockville. The ex'
 psnses of the bureau to August 25 a.
 mounted to $2, 337. O2 and the receipts
 amounted to $2, S31. SS. This leaves
 $500 to continue the work until the
 end of the fiscal year. County Agent
 John E. Clifford reported that he was
 able to supply most of the farmers
 with the help that they requested.
 He also reported that excellent prog rsss was being made in the Boys and Girls club work under the direction of Miss Rose Dimock. He announced that two farm loan banks had been established in the jurisdiction of the Holland County Farm Bureau, one in K. B. Davis of Storrs announced that funds were available from the state of Connecticut if the farm bureau could raise $1, 1000 by the first of October. This amount was to be subscribed by the members of the bureau. The department of agriculture will give the farm bureau $75O from the Smith. Levsrner fund for 8 woman worker; i; $l, 200 for an assistant county agent and a Boys and Girls club worker and $l, loo towards the salary of the county agent. It was voted to add a woman county agent to the staff and H. J. Baker of Storrs was authorized to find a woman to fill this position immediately. It is planned to have women join the bureau and they will be assisted by the woman worker. The bureau voted to have a corn ex- hibition either in November or De- Oember. The following committee was appointed to make arrangements for the exhibition which will, no doubt, be held in Rockville: Harrison L. Hamilton of Ellington, A. H. Benton of Andover and O. H. Savage of Mans field. The report of the agent in re- gard to the pigs that were brought by the hureau about a month ago for the farmers of Holland county, showed that they had been sold for $1, 3SI. 60 to date, few bills still outstanding. The bureau is planning to have an ex- hihit at the Rockville and Stafford fairs in connection with the exhibit of the Connecticut agricultural college. The officers of the bureau are: Charles A. Thompson ot Melrose, president; L. J. Storrs of Mansfield, Vioe-presi- dent; A. J. Wright of Andoyer, seo- retary; Oscar A. Leonard, Holland. | Treasurer. The directors are as fol- lows: B. F.

LOUISIANA AT SEA.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. lS.-
The Louisiana sugar industry is still
at sea regarding the position in which
it will finally find itself as a result OF
the measures to be adopted by the
food administration at Washington.
There is a wide difference of opinion
as to the desirability of the food ad'
ministration, attempting to fix scale
of prices, owing to the fact that the
grades made by the various Louisiana
factories widely differ.
AS an instance of the difficulties
which will arise in this connection, it is
pointed out that ordinarily Louisiana
prime yellow clarifieds sell at frac'
ton lower than standard granulated.
but that at times the demand for that
grade falls off to such an extent that
its value falls to a test basis. Such
an instance occurred last December.
On the other hand, there are times
when the demand for clarifieds is so
great that they sell above the price
of standards granulated. This hap
pened a few months ago. and has Of
ten occurred when clarifieds became
scarce in midsummer-Facts About

MORE ACTIVITY
LOOKEDFOR IN
SUGAR MARKET
BY czARMikow.RloNDA co.


NEW YORK. n. Y. Sept. 2>.-A
/ very quiet and inactive market has
prevailed during the week. OF the
two transactions recorded during this
period, the first consisted Of lr,P0O
tags prompt shipment CUbas, luT
chased by an operator at &c, o.. !
(which temporarily raised the spot
price nc per pound to 7.02cJ. and the
other took place yesterday, when 900
bags OF prompt shipment Cuba8 were
sold to a New York refiner at 0.SI3c.

tation 10 last weeks figure Of 6.9Uc
basis Sc.
The temperance Of retiners as
buyers, after an absence OF several
weeks, was due TO a statement is
sued by the Internationa! Sugar cora
mittee suggesting that, until further
notice, United States Tefiners should
not attempt TO keep on hand at their
respective refineries more than a ~
days supply OF raw sugar, whilst hith,
erto they had been requested to re-
frain from purchasing any raws 1T
all. The market, therefore, is likely
to become a little more active from
now on, and until the limited amount
of unsold stocks of Cubas in the is
land are exhausted.
The current sugar campaign Oh
Cuba is now practically over, with a
total visible production, according to
Messrs. Nillett & Gray, of 1881 ,o32
tons up TO September o. These well
known statisticians have recently con-
sidered il necessary to raise their
original estimate of 100000 tons to
one of 3,050,000 tons, as more closely
approaching the probable total out
turn of the present crop.
AS regards the coming crop, it is
difficult as yet to make any reliable
forecast. While drought has affected
the anticipated output in several Sec
lions, the cyclone which early this
week swept over a portion OF the is
land and delayed the loading of many
steamers at the principal north coast
shipping ports, fortunately did not
cause any material damage to the
cane fields.
Business in Cubas and refined
sugars with European countries con-
tinues at a standstill, but during the
week reports were received here
from London stating that the Royal
Commission on the Sugar Supply had
secured about 10000 tons Javas, for
shipment during the balance of this
year, at a price which is believed TO
be equivalent to around &c f. o. b..

three Atlantic ports we're 2S,156 tons,

$4,000 TONS
Of SUGAR STILL
TO BE SHIPPED

Thirty thousand tons Of sugar still
remain on Hawaii for shipment to the
mainland due to the prolonged
drought Many Of the plantations are
being delayed in completing their
grind on account of lack of rain to
flume the cane from the fields to the
mills, and even should heavy rains
come now it will be difficult for these
concerns to complete their work be-
fore November. The result will be
that December will find a great deal
of sugar still left in the islands for
shipment and it is estimated that even
at that late date there will be from
10000 to $4,000 tons on the five is
lands yet to be sent away. Continu-
ance of the MatsOn line steamers un-
der charter by the government to
these islands even after they have
been taken over by the federal snip
ping board will somewhat simplify
the problem of shipment but will not
solve it, and sugar men fear a con
gestion OF shipments about December
l.
Work on the improvements being
made in the mill of the McBryde
Sugar company at Eleele, Kauai, is
rapidly nearing conclusion, according
to reports from the Garden Isle. A
new standard triple effect, large II
foot vacuum pan, four new crystal
lizers and a new juice heater are be-
ing installed to put the plant on a
modern basis in preparation for next
years crop The work is being done
by Cation, Neill & Co.

KILAUEA ENDS YEAR

The Kilauea plantation has finished

which is just little short of the esti-
mate. The unusually low sugar con-

climatic conditions cut into the crop
badly.
