Much BUILDING
WAITS WAR'SEND

Although high costs due TO the var
and 10 high freight rates have pre-
vented the erection Of many buildings
in Hcno.ulu. particularly in the down
town districts. and at present there
appears little chance OF building opera.
tions going ahead on a large scale
until peace is declared, there are a
considerable number OF plans on foot
cnly waiting until times arc more
favorable.
These baildihgs. which are being
held in allegiance. include office build
ings. hotels. apartment houses and
theaters tetalling in cost many hun
dreds OF thousands OF dollars. mum
ber CT which we're being planned be-
fore the war started two and half
years ago. In practically every case
plans are already drawn.
There are, however three office
building sites which are causing more
than ordinary speculation. They are
bishop square. owned by the Bishop
estate; the Mahuka site, owned by
Castle & Cooke. Hawaiian Electric
Company and the Wilcox interests, and
the waikiki-makai corner of Bishop
and Merchant owned by Theo. H.
Davies & Company.
On all these three properties office
buildings are contemplated but which
company will begin construction first
is the big question.
That the Davies company will be-
gin operations 1irst seems the idea
most In favor. Its present business is
scattered through several buildings
with It's warehouses located close to
the new site. AS a result il is be-
lievod that to consolidate all the de.
partments under ono roof, the COM
pany has more reason TO build The
building. too, will be more for the
company's own accommodation and
not depending so much On the renting
OF offices for its upkeep.
The buildings 10 be erected by
Castle e. Cooke and Hawaiian Elec-
trio also come under the same
category to some extent. although at
both offices Il is said that they have
no intentions OF building for some
time because of leases and other mat
ters which will have to be straighten-
ed out before moving.
Other buildings which may be
erected are one for the First Ma
tional Bank across Merchant from
the Davies site. an office building by
the McInerny Brothers at the corner
of King and Bishop and possibly a
new Masonic building at Hotel and
Alakea.

MUKDEN To HAVE
SUGAR REFINERY
Consul General E. Carleton Baker,
Mukden, China). <. ~. =.

Mukden, Chinal. >". .:......
A Japanese sugar refinery is to be
established at Mukden While sugar
cane is not adapted to the climate OF
Manehuria, and there are no sugar
beets grown in this region, an effort
will be made to induce the Chinese to
grow the latter, and forward contracts
Will be made by the refinery to insure
a sufficient quantity of beets for
sugar manufacture on large scale.
The Manchuria Daily News of January
25 quotes Mr. Hashimoto of the South
Manchuria Sugar Refining Company,
as follows:
Work on the factory will be started
in April and we hope to complete it in
September and to begin manufacture
of sugar in October. The principal part
of the machinery is to be ordered from
the railway workshops, Shahokou. and
the minor portion. from the Osaka
Iron Works. Their installation will be
set about as the building work pro-
crosses, so that it may be completed
Simultaneously with the completion of
the construction work.
Cultivation Of Beet to be Fostered
AS regards the cultivation of beet,
two plans are on the tapis. One is to
buy land and raise beet on our own
account. The other Us to enter into
contracts with the Chinese peasants
to undertake the task. In the present
circumstances the former plan is
thought rather unwieldly, and it is
Y,,o,e, l;IyoIx, that fbo IL ffor cn6oy,a n mill
be adopted. In this respect the ar
rangements now in force for like
factory at Hulan, North Manchuria,
are to be taken into consideration in
framing the contracts with the peas
ants. As to the encouragement of
the cultivation of beet, good word
from the landowners and people OF
local influence would serve to much
good. We have some experience in
Formosa on this point and stand in a
position to profit thereby.
AS regards seed beet. German
species is held as the best. However.
it being impossible to import it from
Germany direct, we intend to procure
German species from Southern Eu-
rope. AS the Manchurian peasants
must he strangers to beet, we expect
that some difficulty will be encounter
ed in breaking them into the knack
of its cultivation. However, such diff
ficulty will be met with only in the
first year. The refining of sugar may
be taken up about January next year.
For raw material either Japanese or
Formosan sugar may be imported, as
the price may suit US better"
Some years ago sugar refinery
was planned in Northern Manchuria.
A considerable amount of Chinese cap
ital was raised for the. purpose, and
German machinery was purchased and
installed. Financial and other diff
culties, however, were encountered,
and the, operations proved unsuccess.

Brazil EXPECTS
Big SUGAR TRADE

consul General Alfred l.. Moreau
Gottschalk. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.)
A retrospective view of the. sugar
market of Rio de Janerio during 1916
shows that in this article as in many
others. Brazil has profited by condi-
uons brought about by the European,
war.
While the foreign markets did not
order as heavily. perhaps. as some
people had expected, relatively large
quantities Of Brazilian sugars were
placed abroad and a considerable
amount Of money was made by grow
ers here in exporting. The market
prices within the country remained
low and therefore favorable for ex-
port transactions.
Exporters are looking forward to
increased shipments during 1917, al
though it would seem that this will be
governed largely by the conditions of
tho domestic markets. as. SO far as
may be judged. the actual production
OF the country has not been perceptib.
ly intensified nor increased.
Lack CT Proper Statistics
In this connection the Associacao
Commercial Board of Trade) OF Rio
de Janeiro has once more pointed out
that the lack of careful national crop
statistics, and Of statistics of domes-
tic manufacturer and production gen
orally, makes IL almcst impossible in
Brazil today to show any foresight, or
to take any active measures to control
and direct market or TO make il
Profit by any exceptionally good for
eign conditions that may arise. The
only statistics that the republic ap-
pe6rs to have of this sort are those
OF the consume tax Gnternal revenue
tax on manufacture. production and
cnnsumpticnl and these figures are
not shown in their entirety By publica-
tion.
The attempt made in November,
, 1916, 20 direct exports toward Argen-
tina was failure because of the low
prices prevailing in that market. This,
however, Gid not discourage the grow
ers. and these of northern Brazil and
OF Campos remained firm in their pol.
icy of careful releasings. so as to
keen the market en- their side and ex.
port as much as possible to Europe
Russia Expected to Be An
important Market
Il is expected that during 1917 Rus
sia win prove to be a valuable mar
ket. 1t is expected that in 1917 that
country may require l.400.00e tons, or
23.S00.e09 bags, as bags of sugar fig
ure in Brazil

sTAMPS-cERTIFIcATEs
Favored for Christmas Gifts Rather
 Than Popular Gold Pieces.

Do not give gold pieces to your friends for Christmas. At banks in Danielson the governments request that the time-honored custom of mak ing gifts of gold money at Christmas time be dispensed with this year, in order that the country's supply of gold may be conserved. In the place of gold, the government suggests that gifts of war stamps and war certifi- cates be made. These are now being sold in Danielson and represent real value that will increase as time goes on. The stamps are selling freely and the more rapidly they are purchased will hasten the coming of the day that will bring Uncle Sam's boys home from a victorious war.

PoMFRET PROPERTY
May Be Developed Soon, According
 to Rumors.

A rumor gained currency here on Thursday that some action is to be taken to develop the property of the Pomfret Power company, which owns the site of a dam and property near Cotton's bridge. which spans the Quinebaug river and links the towns of Killing1y and Pomfret, to the north westward of Alexander's lake.
 Several years ago considerable work was done there by interests then iden- tified with the Danielson Cotton com pany, and it was proposed to erect a dam to hold back water that would be used to generate electric power, which was to be transmitted to Dan- ielson for the operation of the big plant on Main and Maple Streets, but after a time the work was abandoned Gnd nothing has since been heard of the project.
 More recently the site of the pro- posed plant has been investigated by persons who were interested in form ing a company to develop water pow CT sites in this section of the county, and the present rumors may have something to do with the activities of persons representing such combine.
