Dec. 2S.— Exports of tho 1910 cotton crop of Peru will amount to 53.000,000 pounds, according to an estimate of <;<>raddo Klinge, director of the Lima experimental sta tion for cotton. The growing eondltious were especially favorable. Exports of 1909 rotton amounted to 41.461,776 pounds, valued at $G.U7. 090. Allowing for thn amount consumed in Peru the total value of the cotton crap did not run far short of $7,000,000. The area under cultivation was 12.*.000 acres. The cost of pro duction Is placed at 2^e per pound. Of the total production C 3 per r*-nt Is American upland. BOMBAY. Per. 2S. — The rotton situation is causing some disquiet. The receipts to date are 300,000 bales behind last season. A total crop of only 2,500.000 bales Is expected, against 3.200,<*>0.

Co.'s wire says: '•Early cables from Bamburg and Havre were rather disappointing. Both markets, however, improved in the late trading. Rio and Santos sent actual coffee abJTUt the same as yesterday, though the milreis price was a little higher. Our market opened very steady on the near posi tions, but easier on late months. In the- early trading it became apparent that the near months were being given professional support. At one time December spld well above January and, March. Interest seems to have been lost In this mouth since the short Interest appears to have covered. There is not a large interest In Janu ary, consequently at present bull operators seem to be directing their buying against March shorts. With the amount of coffee at present afloat and the present visible supply, there Is certainly no reason to believe that coffee will be more scarce In this market during March than in . May or July, consequently there Is no reasonable ex planation of premiums on March, except a desire to force shorts to cover. "Private advices from Santos say the market there is strong and there is an advance in freight rates. This is believed to be due to a large demand for freight room, owing to the fact that after January 1 a new method of collecting ex port duty will go Into effect. It is understood that the change will relate to charging duties according to grade, and some authorities here assert that it will make. a slight advance in the rate."

TWO MATSON SHIPS HERE FROM ISLANDS Lurline Brings Freight and Pas* sengers arid the Hilonian a Cargo Only WO ships of the Matson 'fleet arrived here yesterday, the Lurllne, Captain We'eden, from Hon olulu, and the Hi lonian, from Kahu lui. The Hilonian brought no passen gers and only 750 tons of freight. * The Lurlin c brought 34 passen gers and a big cargo, which in cluded .65,000 bags of sugar, 7,900 bar rels of molasses,' 4,500 cases of canned pineapples, 2,300 bunches of bananas and shipments of rice and cof fee. The Lurline also brought a heavy mail. The shipment of molasses J.in; bulk from Honolulu to this port is a new industry, but has grown to be an Important factor in the island trade. The Matson ships are specially fitted for handling this sweet and sticky freight, as they are provided with big tanks and up to date pumping gear. The tanks and pumps were installed for the purpose of carrying fuel oil, which forms an important item in the freight shipped from this port." After the oil is pumped out at Honolulu a head of steam is turned Into the tanks. This cleans them out more completely than could be done by a score of ex pert janitors armed with scrubbing brushes and cleaning fluid. When the steam has completed its work the tanks are clean and sweet and fitting receptacles for the molasses, the traces of which are just as carefully steamed out at this end of the run be fore the next shipment of fuel oil is pumped in. ..- . The Hilonian's cargo included 8,238 bags of sugar and 1,777 cases of canned pineapples. \u25a0 The Lurline's passengers included: W. 11. Abbey W. W. Klrkland Mrs. W. 11. Ahbpy Mrs. H.P.
