Gentlemen : — I have the honor to submit herewith the finan- 

 cial statement and report of the Superintendent of the Territorial 

 Marketing Division, for the five months ending November 30, 

 1917: 



Since July first, the consignment sales of the Division have 

 been very good and, through the commission earned on these 

 sales and the surplus on hand, it has been possible to pay off all 

 but $500 of the note for $3,000 owed on July 1, 1917. The last 

 payment will be made in December. A surplus should then be 

 accumulated to cover the fixtures, autos, etc., listed as assets. 



Due to the lack of equipment, poor location of the Division 

 for retailing, and the uncertainty of the supplies that could be 

 sold at retail, the retail departments have not been paying ex- 

 penses and, with the consent of the Board, they were closed on 

 November 30. The closing of the retail departments will in no 

 way afifect the sale of island produce consigned to the Division 

 for sale. In fact it should give the Division more time to sell 

 island produce to wholesalers and the Army at less expense to 

 the Territory and with as good returns to the producer. The 

 force of employees will be reduced to the actual needs of the 

 consignment department at once. 



The pineapple crates are being sold just as fast as they can be 

 brought in from Aiea and Wahiaw^a where they have been stored. 

 When these crates are all sold, the account will probably show a 

 small loss due to the crates rotting while in storage of the Bureau 

 of Immigration and the necessity of selling some of them for less 

 than cost in order to dispose of them. This loss could be made 

 up from earnings. The Attorney General's office states that suit 

 will be brought shortly to collect a claim of $1651.61, due this 

 account from F. E. Halev. This claim and a few other small
