Marketing Division 



Honolulu, T. H., September 17, 1917. 

 Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, 

 Honolulu, T. H. 



Gentlemen : — I respectfully submit the following report of the 

 Marketing Division for the month of August, 1917: 



During the month, the Division has handled 194 consignments, 

 of 30 different kinds of produce, from 91 consignors. The con- 

 signors are located on the Island as follows: Oahu, 49; Hawaii, 

 14 ; Maui, 12 ; Molokai, 12 ; Kauai, 4. Among the goods received 

 were dressed beef, veal and pork, live cattle and hogs, Irish and 

 sweet potatoes, dried beans, corn, grapes, bananas, onions, poul- 

 try, eggs, pohas, cabbage and watermelons. 



The consignment sales for the month amounting to $11,468.15 

 are $1,884.68 less than the month of July, but this is to be ex- 

 pected as during the months of July, August and September there 

 is not much produce to be marketed. 



Our retail vegetable department made a profit of $122.32 dur- 

 ing the month, but the butcher department lost $100.91. We have 

 raised the prices of meats in this department in an effort to put 

 this end of the business on a profitable basis. This leaves us a 

 profit of $21.41 in our retail departments, and a profit of 

 $716.63 on consigned merchandise, leaving a net profit of $738.04. 



I enclose herewith, a statement of operations for the month and 

 a copy of the general ledger trial balance. 



Respectfully submitted, 



O. B. LiGHTFOOT, 



Acting Superintendent.
