THURSUAY, MAY 22, 1873. We are pleased to notice th.at some of our plantat!ou agents a v akirjg. ad vant age of tlie high prlce of sugovs in tlie AustraHan market. Messrs. C. Brewer & Co. have ehaiteved th e Hchooner l)auntless for the rc«.uid voyage lo Sydney aiul back. She will lake a fuH load oVstigaf i>ut up in mats expre?sly for tliaf market, and \ve have no doubi hut that it will uet one and alialf cents per pouad n>ore than tlie. same woukl in San Frānclsco, and have the reiurn here in thirty days less time, We make this statement on advices dated the latter part of March from Sydney, and 2Gth ōf April from San Francisco. Planiew must feel the need of having some vessels on the Au6tralian route. We hope the Onw<ird t whieh is now undergoing repairs, he put on to either Auckland or Bydney. Vessels ean get a eoal freight haek at about $12, * We have been rouud a liule amongst the sugar meu lately» and we see some very ehoiee samples in town *, when we say satnples, we mean 1,000 to 2»000 kegs. We noliee some of Kaiwlki, inade on a sorghnm pan, something that \ve should say was just the thing,—that bright golden liue so desirahle for the table, and not so whUe as to use it all iu duties. We learn that two new plantations are under way oii llawiūi, one at Kohala and the other at Hamakua, of the capacity (.i' 500 to 600 tons eaeh, We would say the way sugars are comlng <lown lately from Haw*aii } and the reports from lhere r lo thcr next crop that Maui will have to look out for her laurels in the sugar line. r We are to!d there is now more sugar stored in Ilonolulu than at any one time heretofore, and that the same may he said of; j£an Francisc-Oj unless t]iq demaiid has been unusual siuce pur, UiMt ,dates from there. So we have uo room to hold ji h£re, and havd to pay dearly for storage iu California. ' lu fortiiet yeai*s our pacUet line served the puii>oae of a stoif-house to a very large extent f b«t thiij is done aw:\y wilh. The fact is sugar and titeain do oot ap&ar to"līiinno ui ze like tea and steam. '' "i 1 • i ii i ' r>i n i
