A telegraph report was received and
published a day or two since to the ef
fect that the American Sugar Trust of
New York had made contracts with
nine-tenths of the grocers of the
United States, which would secure all
their sugar trade and ruin the inde
pendent refineries, including Mollen
hauer, Doescher, Arbuckle ami two or
three others. This dispatch was pro
bably exaggerated. The American
Sugar Trust has for several years made
contracts with the leading wholesale
grocers to supply them with sugar at
certain discounts if they would buy
only from the Trust. These contracts
have been renewed this year, and in
clude about three-fourths of the gro
cers of the United States. This leaves
one-fourth for the independent refin
ers, which is all that they can supply.
Just what the terms of this year's con
tracts are will be learned by early
mail. In the meanwhile the follow
ing clipping from a New York paper
received by mail gives some informa
tion, under date of September 2, on the
subject, though it is not decisive. It
will be seen that the independent re
fineries are by no means crippled.

James H. Post, representing the
Mollenhauer Sugar Renning company
and the National Sugar Renning Cora-
nanv savs the trust expects to make
a settlement with the National Whole
sale Grocers' Association through the
executive committee of that organiza-
hop 1 lw wliirli it will civft
to the various members of the associa-l
tion. who are to agree to ouy exclu
sively from it, an extra reduction, or
ebate, to be paid through the various
State associations. The agreement will
also provide, as at present tiesigned,
that sales shall be made at prices
named by the trust, from which deal
ers will deduct three-sixteenths or a
cent per pound, and, if the bill is paid
within ten days, an allowance of l
ler cent for cash. If this plan proves
satisfactory the trust will give its cus
tomers within sixty days the one-
eighth of a cent rebate mentioned
above.
"If the trust obtains a grip on the
market through the Wholesale cro-cei-s'
Association's executive commit
tee, we will find a way of defending
our business," says Mr. Post.' "We
will make it an object for the grocers
the wholesalers. I mean to buy our
sugar, we do not expeci iu e i-
go to the retailers, and will fight the
trust on its own ground. We have
plenty of money and are ready to
spend it."
The trust's daily capacity is, conserv
atively speaking. 40,000 barrels. 1 he
two companies represented by Mr.
Post turn out 0,000 barrels per day, the
Arbuckles make 3,500 barrels, the Does
cher refinery 3,500. McCann of Phila
delphia has a capacity of 2,000; Revere
of Boston 1,000; the New Orleans refin
eries 1.500, and the beet sugar com pa-
nies, wncn in season, i,vuv uaritus. in
cluding the beet sugar companies, this
is a total of 18,500. The independents
arc not closely united.
Willett & Gray say: Without any
apparent reason, and plainly against
the immediate interests of refiners, a
reduction of 3-1G cent per pound was
posted, which reduction applies to all
the guaranteed sales made for deliv
ery for the next four months. As ev
ery effort has been exerted for a long
time past to make these forward sales
as large as possible, it is unaccount
able that the profits of the business
should be wiped out without any ap
parent compensating gain. Of course,
there must be some good reason for
the action, for the sugar company is
not a philanthropist to such an ex
tent, and it will be interesting to wait
for the explanation which a little time
may develop. In the meantime the
independents claim that they have
given no cause for such action by lead
ing in any cut from posted quotations.
The reduction paralyzed the country,
and the demand fell off very much, but
is improving again, but there is a feel
ing of uncertainty as to what the next
move may be, for it is almost certain
that whatever the motive of this re
duction, the same motive will cause
further surprises before long, but in
what direction is impossible to fore
see.
"The policy of the American Sugar
Refining Co. since the war opened has
been to keep the price of refined su
gars at the very lowest minimum of
profit as compared to the price of raw
sugars, and it was quite as much a
surprise to the trade when this policy
was temporarily waived and refined
sugars advanced to a large profit basis,
as is the surprise of a sudden return
to the original basis. The period cov
ered by the temporary advance was
that of the very largest demand for
sugar of the entire year, and as the
American Sugar Refining Co. had
worked the trade so well that from
SO to 90 per cent of the entire trade
came to their mill, the extra profits
were enormous, ihe time for a re
turn to normal war conditions is
however, well chosen. The consump
tion of refined sugar during the las
quarter of a year is comparatively
small, the local demand of severa
States being fully supplied by the out
nut of the domestic beet ana cane
crops, hence the sales of refiners ahead
under guarantees are much less than
credited to them, and will continue to
fall off to the end.
"The 'sugar war,' instead of beinj
ended, is about to receive fresh stim
Thinks Present Depression in IJo
no lu hi Mertly Temporary.
H. St. Goar. a prominent stock dealer
of San Francisco, with his wife came
down yesterday on the Nippon Maru
for a month's stay in the Islands. Mr.
St. Goar will look after the interests of
Ed. Pollitz & Co., of which firm he is
a member, while here.
On being questioned as to the stock
market he said yesterday: "The mar
ket, in San Francisco was never in a
more healthy condition. Interest in
sugar stocks is growing daily. Men
are buying these stocks as a perma
nent investment and not merely for
speculation. Special interest is taken
in Hawaiian Commercial. I cannot say
anything just at present in regard to
the Honokaa deal, but something may
materialize in a few days in regard to
that."
On the' condition of the market here
he said: "It is hard to understand the
unhealthy conditions prevailing here.
There is, it seems, a stringency in
money here. Too many people of limit
ed means are holding assessable stocks.
Things will change as soon as affairs
get into stronger hands. I consider it
a temporary depression only and look
for brighter prospects in the near
future."
Mr. and Mrs. St. Goar are stopping
at the Hawaiian. It is their first visit
to the Islands and they intend to enj'oy
themselves while here. Mr. St. Goar
will leave for Maui in a few days to
investigate some of the plantations on
that Tsland.

THE STERLING CONSIDERED THE
BEST WHEEL MADE.
"As the constant drop of water
Wears away the hardest stone;
As the constant gnaw of tiger
Masticates the toughest bone;
As the constant, cooing lover
Carries off blushing maid,"
So the constant cycle rider
Says the Sterling's the best wheel
made.
Many and varied are the bicycles
which are now offered to the riding
public; some good, others fairly so;
mt more which are scarcely worthy
of the name. To the inexperienced
wheelman all wheels look alike to him,
as they are enameled, nickeled and
decorated to produce a like effect. The
best fittings, as tires, saddles, etc., are
also sometimes to be found on the
cheapest wheels; this being possible, as
the money which should be expended
on good material and the skillful man
ufacture of same is used instead, for
the outside appearances; thus bright
nickel and good enamel may cover
the cheapest cast-iron and gas pipe.
In the every-day use of a cycle, it is
subjected to very severe strains, and a
machine upon which the owner is to
trust his safety should be carefully se
lected, as an imperfectly brazed tube,
or other similar defect, is liable to
cause serious injury to tne riaer.
Therefore-it is well, when purchasing
a wheel, to examine fully into its con
struction, material used, and the
amount of experience its makers have
had in the building of cycles.
Before you finally decide to buy a
wheel, the P. C. Mfg. Co.. on Fort
street, would like to show you the '93
Model Sterling and explain their su
perior points to you. Lady's and
