1n What if any, effect will. the taking

shipping situation in, Hawaii, This is
the question that at once arises in the
minds of sugar shippers when the news
OF the taking over of. seventy seven
Dutch ships was ANNOUNCED. Tie pos
'sibility that some Of these vessels may
be assigned 10 the, Island rni as freight
ers at once suggested itself.
r As yet the shipping board represen
tative here is not informed as to what
disposition will be made of the newly
acquired shipping. Undoubtedly the
faster vessels WIN 60 INTO the Allan
tie. There Is always the possibility
that .Haw wall win benefit to some extent,
even though it be only in some special
voyages and not from regular as
sigRmept. .
There have been no eaanges in the
sugar situation 20 far as definite in
formation goes. The Sacramento is
soon to leave and up to the present
time it has. been believed she would
make the canal trip but this is subject
to, change at any time. After she
leaves no one knows when another

will leave nor has there been any fur

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, February
IS ASSOCIATED Press) Ninety one
percent of the $l34,5l6,I4l trade of
Porto Rico for the past fiscal year was
with the United States, making a new
record both for total volume of bust
ness enjoyed by the island and in per
centage transacted with the mainland.
The increase in gross volume of bust
ness was approximately $29,000,00o
while the island increased it's purchas,
es of goods in the United States by
$27 100000 over 1916.
The island was more prosperous than
ever before, according to the annual
report OF Governor Arthur wager for
the fiscal year 1917, which has just
been made public, Since the first year
of annexation the islands external
commerce has Increased $55, 1000 900 and
this growth, Judged from the report, is
not due to direct war business or war
values, although sugar is the island s
chief product. .t ." =
Says the Governor 3 report:

of the commercial life Of the island
show Enthusiastically that the proSperi'

Z s1he food administrator of ! the
United States has advised the secretary

ing the present Cuban sugar crop,
''As neither the food administrator

bankers committee to provide the
means for making a series Of advances
for this purpose. We understand that
this request has been approved by the

cit is therefore proposed to organize
a syndicate to provide funds by means
Of a revolving credit, under which
drafts will be drawn and notes issued

Brisbane (Queeuslandl, Jan. Is, 1913.
The crushing season, which usually
ends much before the end Of the year
has been extended right into this
month, and has not yet been completed
at some Of the factories. The amount
Vof sugar estimated to have been made
in Queensland is 3l5,000 tons, which
Is we'll outside the previous highest
crop in QueensIand-242,0 tons in
1918. With the 10000 tons raised Ia
New South Wales and a small quantity
object sugar, the total is more than
100000 tons above Australia 3 annual
cbnsimption Of sugar. 1t was the first
year in which such a state of affairs
existed.
The reason for the great yield was
two fold, the excellent season and the
4Afge amount of cane that stood over
from the previous year on account of
the strike paralyzing industry for a
time. Unfortunately, not all the cane
available was taken off in the season
now closing, as the shipping strike
catised d congestion of raw sugar at
many of the factories, which were left
without steamer connection to reduce
TIE sticks, and the factories had TO
close down for five weeks in some in.
Stances. This closure occurred at a
time when the sugar content was high,
so that there was not only the loss oc'
efuing as result of some of the cane
Standing over, but the crushing of a
Quantity of cane had to be postponed
until the sugar content was low, and
instead of little over seven tons of
,cane making ton of sugar the guam
tity of cane rose to 10 tons or more
after the heavy rains set in.
( On the. lower Burdekin and the Mac
kay District there was p large fquantity
of cane left over for fIe3p S9As6n. Tie
promise for 1918 crushing is excellent,
as In addition to the cane held over
plenty of rain has fallen and the cane
has made wonderful progress.
Steamers are now available to lift the
raw sugar from the sugar districts to
the refneries in the various Slater;
bnt IL will be some months before the
arrears are cleared of, even If it is
possible TO clear the sheds before the
.h8N crushing starts. 1t is probable
fhgt the start Of crushing will be fairly
early this coming season.
THE MRekay District had Il good sea
son, the figures for number of years
being as follows:
