Progress Of the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
sugar market, dissatisfaction among
the brokers in New York with the work
Of the sugar commissions, comment on
the testimony of Claus spreckels before
the senate Investigation committee,
mention Of a probable bumper crop in
Cuba and a probably higher basis for
Hawaiian sugar are some Of the points
Of special and more than ordinary in
terest that are set forth in the last
letter, dated December rs, which large
local agency has received from its
New York house. Belief in higher
rate for Hawaiian sugar is based on
the facts that were Published in The
Advertiser early this week relative to
probable Cuban freight rates.
The letter follows in full:

former amounted to 5000 bags prompt
shipment and were taken by the Inter
national Sugar Commission at the $50
cent basis. The, latter are for Decem-
Der shipment and being reasonably
due In 80 days make new basis for
Hawaiian sugars. The quantity is said
TO be 10000 bags and is sold to the In
ternationaI sugar Commission at 40
cents q. A n making duty paid
price Of 500 cents. It is believed the
sellers are absorbing some freight or
else taking ADVANTAGE of a hangover
