HAWAII.

Sugar Market.— The Hawaiian Gazette of November 24 reports as follows :•— " Hereafter, we may safely say that none of our dark or medium grades of sugar will go to San Francisco. We have seen sales of the same sugars, shipped at the same time, one part to San Francisco and the other to New Zealand (roturns from the latter were received first), showing that they net 2 cents per lb. more than those sent to San Francisco. We hope our New Zealand and Ans tralian friends will see the necessity of keeping porb and business charges moderate, and not fall into the same error San Francisco has in this particular."
