OUR SUGAR PROFITS.

Certainly some of the profits Of our su
gar m~i'lionaires nave SHRINK consider
ably by the recent decline in the price Of
sugar bat there is no indication yet that
the season will not end more prosperous
ly and proftably than any n could have
dreamed at this time last year.
But while some centrals are declaring
dividends that are running as high as
10OM it is likely that few of them have
YET completed their Iiquidations to the
point that they know exactly what it
cost them to make a pound of sugar.
When these figures are fabulated it is
quite probable that the cost will be sur
prisingly high and that all Of what has
been considered profit is not profit at all.
Sugar at fifteen and twenty cents a pound
is beyond all expectation and has result
ed in the greatest prosperity the island
has ever known, But it is just as we'll
to remember that it costs more than three
cents q pound to prodlce sugar. While
this was the average costs four or five
years ago probably a more accurate es-

SIR THOMAS LOSES AGAIN.

While We cannot heIp but accept the
victory Of the ResoIute gladly it IS not
too much. to say that there would have
been almost as much joy if Sir Thomas
Upton with his Shamrock " had won
in this latest effort to recapture the
yachting honours from the United States.
Certainly such a victory would have ad
ded interest to future races both as an
information event and as a purely sport
ing proposition, His repeated and IN
firing efforts deserve better luck and
better reward. So many times. he has
demonstrated his true sportsmanship that
it is to be hoped that he will continue to
challenge until his efforts are finally c
cessful. Possibly should the cup return

Guilty in getting it back as Sir Thomas
has had.-IbGd.

just ended would be between seven and
eight cents. Profits have been more than
reasonably good bat costs have been as
tnundlngly high and could not have been
met under conditions which did not in

sugars.
To what extent the island as a whole
is TO benefit from this almost priceless
crop n be estimated at this inc
While not declining to take every cent OF
profit possible, during this abnormal
season most far sighted sugar men agree
that their profits have been too great
and that the industry as a whole %2ald
have been on a far sounder basis if the
price OF raw sugar had been lower and
more ST. BILE throughout the season.
A good deal of the profits of the year
will go back into the industry to insure
its continuance more definitely for the
future. The Government will collect its
share in increased taxes while some Of
the profits will be reinvested here in new
enterprises and permanent improvements
that will be for the general benefit of the
island as we'll as the more particular ben

enough to have had sugar stocks and
