JUNU IS, 19)9, .11 Vii 4pa I IN BUSINESS CIRCLE lly nil oddg tho Incident of the week having the most far-reaching effect on "the future business of the Territory U the declaration of pol icy of tho now Land .Commission to which, undor the amended Organic Act, all matters of .land transactions must bo referred boforo thoy become effective. This commission mndo t plain that tho homcstciidef.ilho bona fide home-seeker and 'homo-maker, should havo first claim upon 'tho cland. It then wound up Its 'session with n resolution, and tho ont- resolution of Its first deliberations, that full publicity shall ho given nil land transactions contemplated by the Territorial land department. This means, supposedly, that tho Terri torial executive shall lay his full land tchemes before tho people bo fore ho makes the final deals, In stead ot dolng'ns has been dono In many past Instances carrying on the plans and tho negotiations In -Secret and then, when tho deeds have been passed, putting It before tho people In a brief and somowhat hazy statement. ' Apparently this n-tlon of tho Land Commission will retain what land now remains In tlio Territory for the benefit ot tho small holder, and presumably tho terms of the Organic Act are sufficiently rigid to provent the land rold to tho small homesteader passing into tho hands of the largo corporations. Sugar Price. Bo far as Immediate conditions arc concerned, tho price of sugar has, of course, had tho most direct In. fluenco on tho business atmosphere of tho community. Ilnw sugar un expectedly dropped below 4.2S dur. Ing tho weok, and somo of tho peo ple In the market began to feet bluo notwithstanding the fact that at $83.40 per toil Hawaii's plantations still gain a splendid return on their crop, and there Is no reason to bo llevo that any of the contemplated extra dividends will bo reduced.

Judg- rJng from previous Information fiom inl.v oik, however, It Is very like ,ly tho result of continued cold weather through tho Stales nnd n conrcqucnt reduction In the demand for refined.

So far as local information Is concern ed, nothing has dc doped In tho European beet situation to mako un reasonable tho challci.gc of tho Now York broker who Blgnincd his will ingness to wager that beets wou'U touch Ids. In August. Honolulu's Information on tho market, however, comes by null, and wo get tho reasons for It ubout ten da after the quotation. It 1.1 possible thnt tho reaction Is due tu tho larger returns from Cuba nnd the shipment of roflncd to Kuropo to supply that market, Hut despite tho slumps and tho possibilities, Hawaii Is getting n magnificent leturn on its sugnV :rop, nnd In spite of tho reduced estimates on somo of the planta tions, It Is quite safo to predict that tho financial return from our sugar :rop will this year be tho largest In tho history of tho Territory.
