SUGAR IS SENT FOR
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
MainIanders Glad To Get Com
mon Necessity Now

Hawaiian products have often been
used as acceptable gifts to friends on
the mainland ut all seasons of the year
and especially at Christmas-time. Pines,
fresh, candied, preserved, spiced and
picked, guava Jelly, lunches of ban
anas and dozen other products might
hr mentioned, but never before this
year, probably, has sugar been consid-
cred one of the best gifts that could be
sent to friends on the Atlantic sea
board Plain, everyday, stable sugar,
the commonest product of the Islands,
has been sent in a number of instances
to relatives and friends in Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, and smaller
cities in the vicinity. ~
Express rates or even parcel post
rates would ordinarily he considered
too high to warrant the sending OF
sugar, that household necessity, such a
distance. The cost of transportation
would exceed the cost of the article
but this year sugar is not only sugar OIL
the mainland-it is scarce. Not only
has it been high but it was almost i'm
possible to obtain at any price.
When this condition became known
10 Honolulu not few took the oppor'
tunity to send Opportune gifts in ad,
vance of Christmas and their gifts
proved mighty acceptable.

MAI. GREEN REGISTERED
KOREANS ON MAUI

The principal business of Major
Francis J. Green on Maui during his
recent visit, had to do with the regis
tration of Korean children born in the
Islands, this being sort of side
line" taken on at the request of the
Secretary of the Territory. He ar
rived Wednesday night. Thursday
was Thanksgiving. All of Friday, Sat
urday and Monday were put in on
Korean registration work, and he
caught the Mauna Kea Monday night
for Honolulu. ~. ..:
Major Green is finding considerable
difficulty in crTyinkI out the new
difficulty in carrying out the new
regulations concerning the selective
draft on account of the fact of regis
trants being widely scattered. Legal
and medical advice are both called
for to greater extent than formerly,
and as the Tegistrants would have to
be gathered from the highways and
byways the job is no easy one. Major
Green feels that much hard work is
still ahead Of the boards in the rural
counties. ....
The major had just passed through
a period of very strenuous work and
stated before leaving that his stay on
Maui was considerably in the nature
OF a much needed rest, He left feel

New Sugar Price
AT Crockett
Under Six Cents
Cuban Price With Freight, lnsur-
ance and Duty Added Is EVi-
DENLY Basis and Equalization
OF Price Goes Forward

Cabled quotations Of the price for
Hawaiian sugar received yesterday
morning by the Planters Association
gave the figures as SOC. Since Asso.
ciated Press dispatches had told of an
increase Of ten cents a hundred in the
wholesale price Of beet sugar some had
expected that the quotation for Ha.
waiian cane raws would be higher. II
Is evident, however, that the price of
5.92 was fixed by the sugar commits.
sions. =. ..H,. ...a. ... 81 .
In figuring on the newly announced
sugar price il would appear that It has
been arrived at from a basis previously
announced for Cuban raws. That basis
was $500 a hundred fob. Cuba, thirty
cents for freight and an added cost for
marine insurance. The differential, be
cause of duty is l.004S which would
make the cost of marine' insurance
something less than two cents hun
bred pounds. ..
Here the impression prevails that
there may be some little fluctuations in
price owing to varying freight rate
between Cuba and the United States,
Now that freight is figured at So ton
while a few months ago, when there
were rumors of the submarine warfare
being carried into Atlantic eoastwise
waters, the rate was S12. Such a rate
would make a difference of thirty cents
a hundred on New York prices for Gu
ban raws and consequent stabiliZing
rise of the same amount in the price
for Hawaiian raws. ..E. -.
1t is believed here that the reported
ten cents rise in beet sugar is a dis.
triet affair, done by the sugar commits
sions in an effort at price-equalization
The country was divided into two zones
to bring about this gradual adjustment
and thus far little beet sugar has reach
ed the Eastern zone. Some did reach
the New York market in an effort ia
alleviate the sugar famine in the East
As yet but little Cuban sugar has reach
ed the market and the Louisiana crop
smaller than expected, has been some
what held back also. In the face OF
this, and with no cane competition
there has been '-op in the price OF
refined in New York. Eastern, beet
sugar was somewhat late but is now
reported as moving and the Cuban crop
is expected to be moving soon. An adj
justment of ten cents on Eastern beet
would therefore seem to have been q
matter of fairness to bring about q
closer equalization of beet and cane
prices in the East.

LAST OF CROP may .
WAIT FOR SHIPPING
Vessel Now In Port Which Was
Expected To Take Big Cargo
May Be RequisitiOned

II now appears possible that the last
of the 1917 crop and the first Of the
1918 crop may not leave the Islands
50 soon as has been expected. Plans
had been made for the shipment of
1900 tons at an early date in steam
or that is now in port, having arrived
with cargo of coal. This steamer may
be utilized in whole or in part by the
government, II was learned Yesterday.
In consideration of the use Of such
steamer, she has been measured, ut the
request of the government, and the
possibility Of her use is still under con-
sideration. shippers yesterday were
hoping that az least enough space to
carry-tirr-frst OF the old crop could be
spared in case the government did find
need of her service. She had been
sent over with the idea Of taking away
full cargo and arrangements made
accordingly by the shippers.
No more definite information as to
what bottoms may be made available
for the movement of the 1918 crop has
been received locally. The fact that
the government has recently requisi.
toned number Of vessels on arrival
here has not been encouraging and with
grinding already commenced in a nun
Der of mills there has been an. increase
in the sense Of anxiety which has been
more OF less manifest since the com
Wandering of the Matson liners. The
hope and belief still prevails that ways
and means will be found by the food
administration and the shipping board
hut urgent government necessities IN
other lines may result in a considerable
delay in the getting away of the crop,
at the outset at least. ..t' ..lss

IMPORTS OF
SUGAR Will cEASE:
Representative of Food Admins
tration Is Optimistic

Few if any imports of refined
sugar from the mainland to the Islands
in the coming year is the promise re.
Gently made by j. +. Child, representa-
tive of the food administration in Ha-
wall. He claims that recent imports
were made as the result of mistakes
and will not occur again, I'll i.
1t is the opinion of Mr., Child that
national price fixing in sugar will re-
suit in the ending of imports here of
refined sugar and of much of the ex-
ports made in the past, He expects to
see the Island made refined supply the
Island markets. In his opinion it was
the fluetuating price of sugar that
made profitable shipments from here
rather than sales at home. There would
be times, he said, when the market was
higher on the mainland for refined
than here. The local producer might
market. On the other hand, there
would be times when a sudden slump
in sugar price on the mainland would
permit the wholesale grocer here to
make a purchase there for a shipment
here as required later aud thus to ben
eft, despite the freight rates. ...-
While the representative Of the food
administration admits that the space
used in the past for sugar imports
could now be better utilized for i'm
ports that are really necessary he is in
clined to minimize the necessity by
saying that such imports have not been
large. As a matter of fact, sugar and
candy imports have been not far from
half million pounds. He does not be,
licve, he says, that II will be necessary
to place an embargo against sugar i'm
ports. .... r....

The action Of the sugar planters fol-
lowed the executive session of the first
afternoon of the meeting when trustees
and plantation managers discussed the
labor and wage situation. No com
mittee was named at that time other
than the whole board OF trustees ana
A. VI t. Bottomley, mentioned az
chairman Of that committee, had no
more to do with the formulating OF
the new plans than had any OF the
other trustees, despite the credit that
was given to him. a.
When the trustees decided upon the
method that was employed IL was their
effort not to make any reduction that
would affect the monthly receipts OF
the laborers so that they would feel
the cost Of living more than formerly.
This was brought about by letting the
reduction, which was inevitable II some
of the, plantations were to continue,
come at the end of the bonus year
only. They We're still to receive their
monthly earnings and the added thir.
ty.three percent of that amount each
month, assuring them of a third more
wages than they were paid before the
war. o.. ..#s',. 2s6 "a
The reduction which comes at the
end of the year amounts to twenty.one
percent, the increased basis being $lA
a ton in the sugar price and the bonus
being one and a half percent on each
dollar increase in price over the mini
mum. 49,

FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE

Reports from Chicago regarding the
supply Of ears to transport sugar are
not at all encouraging. The railroad
equipment needed is 80 percent shy,
only 10 percent of the needed cars be-
ing available. The California Hawaii
an Sugar Refinery got large number
Of ears from the Atchison Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad, but that supply has
also been shut off and the Southern
Pacific is unable to supply cars. Cars
going East are help up on account of
the congestion of freight everywhere
and there seems to be no immediate
soIutinn.

WHOLESALE PRICE OF
Refined SUGAR UP
Local Refinery Allowed To Raise

Word was received by the Honolulu
Plantation Company. by cable on Wed.
nesday that il might raise the price Of
its refined sugar output ten cents q
hundred from 1928 to $7.35. At the
same time the company was instructed
to inform local wholesalers and retail
ers that this increase on the part of the
local refinery did not permit them to
raise the price of refined stocks which
they had on hand. As the stocks of re-
fined sugar here at the present time
are small, the Islands living practically
from hand to mouth in this respect, the
instructions are of little significance.
