IMPROVEMENT
SEEN|N SUGAR
MARKETS
President of Exchange Scans
Past Year With "Pride
And Optimism"
BY WILLIAM H. ENGLISH.
President New York Coffee and
Sugar Exchange, Inc.

President New York Coffee and
Sugar Exchange. Inc.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-During
the year 1888, which might well
be considered as a milestone for
business and industry, the New
York Coffee and Sugar Exchange
has been able and does point with
pride to the services rendered the
world in providing an important
medium. for the marketing Of
these two great commodities.
coffee and sugar.
. From the very start Of the new
Administration the Exchange has
endeavored to cooperate in the
plans and aims Of the President.
The bylaws and rules, while the
result of so years Of experience
and although constantly being
scanned for improvements, were
submitted to the Government for
suggestion and criticism.
FluctuatiOn Controlled
Limits of fluctuations were re-
duced. not because Of disastrous
experience, but because it ap-
peared to be in keeping with the
expressed aims Of the Govern
ment. Margins and credits, while
apparently satisfactory to the
trade and to the membership, are
being scanned for possible revi-
sion.
During the period Of the forma-
ton Of the recent sugar stabiliza-
ton agreement, the Exchange en-
deavored to advise the respective
parties in as accurate and helpful
manner as possible and it was
gratifying to find in governmental
and trade circles such a full reali-
Zation Of the valuable and neceS-
sary assistance which the Elk
change renders to the coffee and
sugar producers and others in the
trade in this country and in the
world.
Three Changes
Three major changes took place
in sugar during the year. First,
the market which continued on
the down trend for five years
turned and advanced until at the
high point in July prices were at
the levels Of the spring Of 1881
Second, for the second time in six
years, world consumption in sugar
exceeded production for the sec
ond consecutive year. Third. con
sumption gives every evidence OF
resuming its upward trend.
In coffee, AS in sugar, conditions
have improved. The value of i'm
ports of coffee into this country
will unquestionably be greater
than 1882 where this commodity
topped the list. Brazifs gigantic
plan to dispose Of the surplus has
resulted in world stocks Of coffee
which are now 22.3 per cent, OF
7103,092 bags under last year.
The expected bumper crop o1
Brazil, estimated at 10000, ,00(
bags, is expected to be nullifiec
marKet-WlSe as the present plar
calls for destruction equivalent tc
the over-production.
Coffee prices during the yeal
for the most part reflected the de
! probation of the dollar and movec
in unison with the changing ex
change rates.
I believe that sufficient concrete
facts are before us all to justify
our looking to the future with con
fidence as the combined and in
telligent efforts Of so many car
but result in further improvement

hi was the second best team on the
floor at all times during the play,
never threatening seriously the
early lead of the invaders. Fast
checking by the invaders kept the
locals from scoring and the fast,
woodworking team had little
trouble in working the ball under
the opposing basket. Poor shooting
also characterized the Kayhi play"
The deciding game was won by
Kayhi on the following night, the
score being 13 to 9. This gives the
championship of the lower district
in the First division to Ketchikan
and with it the right to series
of games with Juneau for the dis
trict championship.

KAYHI BARELY TAKES
TUSSLE FROM INVADERS
Score of 20 to 10 Results from Edge
Of Free Shot; Teams Well Matched

Wrangell high school offered
sincere threat to Ketchikan high
basketball squad last Monday night
with the game ending in favor of
Kayhi-barely won by a score of
20 to IS. after three-minute over
time period. The regular time ended
with a IT to IT tie.
A free throw resulting from a
foul throw for Kayhi decided the
game in it's favor in the last minute
of play, the Wrangellites missing
a similar point a matter of seconds
previously. Each team scored the
same number of fled goals, nine,
but the locals had better eye for
free throws. They made two out of
four. while the invaders succeeded
in making but one of four.
The entire play was rough be-
cause of the close checking of both
teams and the small floor. Four per-
sonal fouls were called on each
squad.
The first quarter of the game
ended in 4-all tie and the half
found the invaders in the lead by
nine counts. Kayhi was shut out in
the second period but came back
during the next two to tie the score.
In the last quarter, Elliott, Kayhi
guard. sank a freak shot that put
the locals two points in the lead
which was overcome by an out-of-
bounds play by the Wrangeilites.

Dear Alaskan friend,
thought l would write you let
ter and tell you about our country.
Some of the Geography books
say you live in Igloos and some
don't When you answer this letter
please tell me what you live in. We
live in a house that is made of wood.
1t has a nice wood floor to walk on,
and a nice stove to keep it warm.
Some of the houses are made of
brick. Our school house is made of
brick.
The grain we raise down here is
wheat. corn, oats, barley and some
rye. We harvest our grain with a
threshing machine or combine.
The combine is a machine which
cuts and threshes the grain all at
once. There is a tank on top. When
they go around the field once or
twice the tank is full of grain.
W H6H we USE Tie AdChlhc
we have to cut the grain first. We
cut it with a binder. This is a ma
chine that is drawn by four horses.
When it moves it pushes sickle
back and forth, thus the sickle cuts
the grain. Then we have to shock
it. We put six or eight bundles in
a shock, then we let 1t dry for a
couple of weeks. Then we have to
thresh it. We put the bundles in
one end and the straw comes out
of the other Then there is spout
where the grain comes out. Our
fields have about 70 to $50 acres
each.
Our weather has been quite nice.
1t thawed yesterday and today some
times it is nice in the morning and
about noon the snow is blowing SC
hard that you can hardly see ten
feet in front of you. What kind OF
weather are you having?

Now l must stop and ask you a

USING OUR LEISURE

Today the average person has more
leisure than he had generation ago, con-
sequently he has more opportunities for
cultural pursuits, if his inclinations are in
that direction.
6 The average work-day is shorter and
thus even the manual laborer is enabled to
share in the leisure which an advancing
civilization has made possible.
How to suitably employ leisure time is
consequently becoming a rather important
problem, the solution of which must
naturally be found by each individual for
himself. Spare time may we'll be devoted
in part to studies which lead to advance
ment in ones occupation or profession, or
even to preparation for a more desirable
calling. Correspondence courses afford
many opportunities in these directions.
For those who have found their life
work and are succeeding in it, leisure of
fers the means of broadening the mental
vision by better acquaintance with the
masterpieces of literature and art, by. de-
veloping better appreciation of music.
obtaining better grasp of national and
world affairs-in short it enables one to
live fuller life.
For attaining these ends almost un-
limited facilities are within the reach of
practically everyone, through books, news
papers, magazines. motion pictures, and
radio. BY the judicious use of these. en-
tertainment and education may go hand in
hand.
The future happiness and prosperity
of most of Us depend largely upon. how we
employ our spare time.
