HALF OF ISLAND
CROP S:;SH|PP'ED
Sugar Shipments To June First
Are Only Slightly Behind -.
Those of Last Year :.

Practically half of the 1917 crop of
the ffty.two Hawaiian sugar planta
tions had been shipped to market by
the first of June, OF the estimated
crop of 64O,s40 tons for the 1917
grinding season, $780, 9G tons had been
shipped from Island ports to San Fran
cisco or Atlantic ports by that date.
Comparative figures, however, show
that the shipments to date are slight
ly behind those of last year. Though
the total of sugar shipped is only
slightly under the total shipped on the
same date last year, the 1917 crop will
be a large one, according to careful
estimates. The percentage of sugar
shipped to date this year falls under
that of last year. -
Factors Company Figures 4 -.
Figures furnished by A. NJ. Novel;,
manager for the Sugar Factors Com
pany, show that the thirty five planta-
tions shipping through this company
had consigned to the mainland, up to
June ], sugar cargoes tOtalling 25S,S6O
tons out of an estimated crop for these
plantations of 52S,320 tons, This is
forty nine per cent of the estimated
crop. ..| ~,
Last year at June I, the Sugar Fac.
tors Company plantations had shipped
POI 1884 tons out of crop that out
turned 476,781 tons, of ffty.fve per
cent. ..-. .5.,ra.t. n
Similar comparisons for the entire
Hawaiian crop harvested from the lfif;
ty-twO plantations show the same re-
latiVe percentages and results--7that,
though the shipments thus far equal
those of last year, a slightly smaller
per cent of the total crop than last
year has been sent to market, -.
The total shipments of sugar from
Hawaii TO the mainland are Just a
shade under those of last year at June

Sugar plantation companies of this

figures with a minimum of effort. These
totals are today published in The Ad-

Besides the two companies thai gain-

there We're a number of other notable
gains, Two Of these were of more than
half a million. Hawaiian Agricultural

scored gains Of 100000 or more, Keka-

PARIS, May 15--The demand for
sugar in Paris has frfllen to one.third
of what il was before the card system
was adopted. Advocates Of the system
Conclude from this result that the cards
have imposed frugality. They ask for
the extension Of the system to meat,
bread, coal and gasoline, AZ
IL is asserted, however, that this re-
dueed demand for sugar is not neees.

Most housewives, anticipating the iu-

Sugar Price Is Football Of Spec
uIative Interests In
New York

The price of raw sugar in New York
was football for the speculativcly in.
clinod, according TO the weekly market
report of local sugar house from its
New York correspondent for the week
ending May 25. This correspondent re.
ports raimors In New York that the gov.
eminent may arrange to purchase all
raw sugar for both the United States
and its Allies, The report for the
week follows: -. -. II
"For all of the week which has
elapsed since our last report this mar:
ket has continued to respond TO the po-
litical situation. TO be, OF not TO be,
that is the question, and hesitation has
characterized all dealings. Whether
the ideas Of the house or those Of the
senate are going 10 prevail will be for
some time In doubt, and meanwhile the
price Of sugar football for the specu.
latively inclined. f,
at is rumored around that refiners
will not oppose a consumption tax on
all sugar provided the present schedule
of duties remains undisturbed. 49,,
Government May Purchase
tThere is food for thought in the
opinion expressed today in certain cir.
cles that the federal government may
arrange to buy the raws for both the
United States and the Allies, turning
the same over TO refners for manufac-
ture into graduated ON fixed margin,
thus stabilizing the industry. " "a

unusually large number of centrals in

WAR BASIS FOR
SUGAR is URGED
!F. ---a-- Il
Government Regulation Of Export
And Private Control Of Use
is Advocated

Urging government and private reg.
ulation OF the use of sugar to prevent
a shortage, the June number Of The
world's Work comments editorially on
the possibility Of sugar OF, a war
bnsis as follows:
We have heard 30 much Of the
Sugar Trust in recent years that most
newspaper readers have probably had
an idea that, in an international
sense, IL was a gigantic enterprise.
Not until the European war, however,
was American sugar an important
commodity in the commerce of the
world. e We made much sugar for the
home market, It Is true, but we sent
comparatively little Of IL abroad.
Dislocation Of Market a
Rarely do statistics disclose such
an abrupt dislocation in the world s
market of an essential article of trade.
In 1918, which was the last peace year,
American refiners exported only % 900
tons. In 1916, they sent abroad 703,.
SS5 tons.
1.-THE housewife who has been com
planning Of the steady increase in the
price Of sugar will find the explanation
in these figures. The American Sugar
Refining Company now joins the Beth
lehem Steel Company and the farmers
of the Mississippi Valley as bene-
fciary from war contracts.
1--WE need a map to understand the
present sugar situation. All that is
necessary is an outline of Europe with
the present western and eastern battle
fronts indicated In black type.
Teutons Sugar Producers "A
Between those boundaries lie Ger.
many and Austria Hungary, and hcre,
up to August, 1914, one.third Of all the
world s sugar was produced. From
this source England, France, aud the
rest of Europe obtained the larger part
Of their suppiy-a supply which is now
discontinued. E4a
"The Allies not only import large
quantities Of sugar from the United
States, but they are buying on large
scale the raw product of Cuba.
''This island supplies American re.
fners with oDe-half their raw sugar
consequently the Americans have ia
meet European competition in this
market. .a a
Sugar An Important Food ..
"The situation is especially unfor,
tunate in that pure sugar is one OF
our most stimulating foods. p, w..
"Here is a problem for the Food
Commission. 49,. a,1
every citizen can help solve it by
refraining from boarding unneeessar
lily large supplies of sugar. So many
people have been buying it by the bar
rel that recently the stores in New
York City have refused to sell more
than ten pounds at a time to one
customer. .-.'. 80.
"By government regulation of its
export, and by, private regulation OF
its consumption, the worst evils of a
shortage can be avoided" .H.
