SUGAR
AbbUHtb PKIUhb
A most Important statement on sugar market conditions Ik con
tained In the sugar market review of the Federal Sugar Refining
Company, published under date of January 25. It shows that there
nothing in world maraet conditions to presage a decline In sugar
prices, and a , treat deal to assuro
son that hat been known In the last ten years. The statement lot
lows: '
' One of our European correspondents writes under date of Janu
ary 15, as follows: l '
"This week has seen -a further advance In beet of about 3d. per
ewt., and a decldad upward movement In the American market put
ting any chance ot business In Cuba, with Europe still further off.
''With tho publication of the December figures ot beet production
It Is now possible to estimate the position In Europe more definitely.
It Is evident that there will be a shortage In stocks of 460 000, toon In it
sight, as against last year, and a large part of this will ha ye to he. ii
tnudn good by September, seeing that last year's stocks vtcre.at the tt
end of tho soason, pretty near the Irreducible minimum. The qucs- it
tlon Is where. 1 this sugar to conio from? For the most part It must! it
come eltheriftom Cuba or Java. Only new crop Javas are available! tt
and looking td the requirements In that market for the East twfclch tt
will b Increased by the division from China of a certain quantity a It
Philippines) It does not seem aa If more than lSu.OOQ tons' Would be t:
gottto Europe within the limits of (he present aeason. It looks! it
therefore as It a large part of the shortage would have to cumq It
from Cuba, and If the demand Is lostponed for, a' few months while J
beet sugars are still comparatively plentiful, l might set In Juit 11

IN RUNAWAY ACT
There was a runaway soda water
wagon down near the Oahu Jail this
morning, and although nodamago
was done, there ras considerable ex
altement while the horse was doing
his stunts.
It appears that the animal took
(tight at a locomotive and bolted up
tho road at full speed. The driver
kept his seat and pulled onto tho
lines with all his might; the horse,
howovcr, had the bit between his
teoth ami for a while took no notlco
of tho strain on tho lines.
After running about a quarter of
a tulle, the driver managed to ger
cunttol of the animal ,nnd shortly
afterwards the hqrso fell down. Do
