ESTIMATES OF
CUBA'S SUGAR
CROP ARE Low

NEW YORK, n. Y, June s.-Net
profits OF Cuban sugar producers will
be reduced to three dollars q Dag by
war taxes imposed by the government
OF the Cuban republic. according to a
statement yesterday BY the Republic
News Bureau.
Two million eight hundred thousand
tens Of raw sugar is set as the official
estimate Of the 1917 crop. Since the
beginning of the recent rebellion IL
Cuba, the estimate Of the preseu:
sugar crop has been a mooted subject
among experts. II was generally
agreed that a great reduction in the
account Of the amount OF cane burned
by the rebels, the driving Of the labor
ers from the fields and the closing
down Of many centFals at the height
OF the grinding season.
From a preliminary estimate of B.,
100000 long tons the figures were cut
by successive reductions during the
height CT the rebellion to estimates
as low as 2,750,00 tons. During last
month, however, reports were gener
ally accepted here that the loss of the
1917 Cuban sugar crop by reason o.
the rebellion would not be as much
as expected and on the strength Of
estimates of 100000 tons the price
Of raw sugar in this market weakened
considerably.
+ Yesterdays official estimate of the
Cuban crop for this season means thai
the net profits to sugar producers on
the island will stand for the year al
about $62, 750,0 900 II the war taxes are
applied on the total production fol
1917. ST. .g.a--,
The taxes imposed on the sugar In
terests of Cuba by the government d
the republic to support its share oI
the world war against German mill
tarism will reduce the net profit 81
the sugar producers to approximately
cent pound. ~.-.. "
It lad been confidently expected
here and In Havana taat the govern
ment would leave to the sugar inter
ests net profits of three times this
amount. The earlier forecasts of the
Cuban war taxes resulted In estimate:
that the sugar producers would be
left with net profits for the year Of
nine dollars bag, or about three
cents a pound.
With the present official estimate Of
the 1917 crop there are about 100000
tons OF sugar yet to be produced te
end the season. Up to the end Of
May approximately 2,400, 600 tons had
been produced with about 100 centrals
still grinding. The factories which
had completed their crops at thai
time showed q thirty per cent deficit
from the original estimate or Cuban
experts Of $500. 900 tons. 4.. Il

!. HEALTHY STATUS

There is a healthy movement OF
real estate in Honolulu despite the
var and the general depression which
naturally occurs In such times ana
the real estate dealers as q whole
say they have no complaints 10 make
Building has also shown no indication
of q slump particularly among the
small homes where each month see
the erection Of anywhere from % TO
Is cottages and bungalows. OF
course there are several large office
buildings which were planned but laid
on the shelf at the outbreak Of The
war. This, however, was caused more
by the increased cost Of building ma
terials and the transportation diff
euities than any fear Of conditions,
although the wLr naturally bad some
bearing On the rIatter.
Every week sees several pieces of
real estate change hands, some for
large figures as the lot and home Of
Grace G.. Hustace to Allen c. Wilcox
at the corner Of Beretania and Kapio-
iani for $500, but most Of them
range from q few hundred to $4,000.
In the building line q rutaor per
sists that the Theo. H. Davies Co. in
tends to build On its Merchant street
site IN the near future. They have
been delayed in the acquisition Of the
Hendrick lot because Of the death OF
its owner In San Francisco and as it
IL absolutely necessary for the carry
ing out Of its plans, this matter Will
have to be settled before the company
can 60 ahead.
Nothing will probably be lone con-

there are several business blocks In

The maple sugar season is over
when the first leaves are unfurled, the
sap then becoming less sweet. Seven
" drops Of sap per minute flow from
good trees, and twenty five gallons Of
sap make about five pounds Of sugar.
The coke output of the United States
broke all records in 1916. More than
So, 100000 tons of beehive coke was
manufactured, an increase OF over ~
per cent, compared with 1915, and 500,-
900 tons more than the record break

amounted to rs, 200.0 900 tons, an IN.
crease of more than 5000, 900 tons, or

The growing popularity Of grayfsh

vindication Of humanitarian prin-
eiples, but only Ito use the words Of
the letter. "the biggest securities
boom this country has ever wit
messed" Could there be a more
steel-hearted calculation to make
money out Of the blood Of the ma
ton? The letter goes on to say
that 1--WE are on the verge of war"
and then explains "the American
nation is, in fact, to enter upon a
national joy fest" When in all the
history Of mankind did any sane
person ever refer to wa as "a ma
tional joy fest"2 With what appal-
ling degradation must they be af-
ficted, that they can, seemingly I'M
conscious of their W ~debasement,
give such free expression to their
demoniacal ioyl The letter says that
we are about to "enjoy all the
thrills" of a "war with nations of
the first class. 1t admits that pos
terity may pay the debt in in
creased taxation and ~posterity may
feel the burden, but that does not
prevent them from feeling "the quick
and full effect of the unloosening."
What a travesty on our civiliza-
ton, what a mockery of our human
ity, and what a sad commentary on
the gullability Of the peoplel Is it
not an alarming omen, when large
business houses, whose influence x
tends over the whole country, no
longer shrink from openly confess
sing their nefarious schemes? The
proft-mongers have plotted against
the peace of the people. They have
fostered every move for war, sever
ance Of relations, arTre' neutrality,
and all the rest, because it means a
Securities boom"i After all, it is.
well that Hasbrouck Smith & Co.
have sent out this letter, because we
all ought to know who it is that
wants war and why.

WHO WANTS WAR?

With what brazen effrontery, with
what eoold-blooded deliberation, and
with what diabolically selfish aims,
Wall Street has carried on the agita-
ton for war-Hke measures appears
from a letter sent out by the firm
of Hasbrouek, Smith g. Co, dealers
in stocks and bonds in New York
City. That tremendous pressure had
been brought to bear by the monied
powers of the east for the purpose
Of bringing about a breach Of dip
lomatic relations is evident from this
letter which reports the wild delight
that prevailed on the Stock Elk
change and the Curb when they re-
ceived the news. The letter is
dated February 9Th, showing that
even at that time these stock brokers
had an intimate knowledge of the
situation of Washington. With Sat
