THURSDAY, JAN. %, 1857.

THURSDAY, JAN. %, 1907
We hear of but few transactions of any magnitude -his seek,
the retailers are buying very sparngly and seem deslr9aA4 OF re-
ducing their stocks as far as possible. Auction sales OF assorted
merchandise have gone off briskly, owing to the presence offs
few dealers from the ether islands, but the prices realised have
been far from satisfactory.
Two desirable lots of real estate were offered at auction and
withdrawn.
The Fanny Major leaves for San Francisco with a very small
freight, but with nearly 40 passengers. The only arrival has
been the Hero, from Hamburg, with an assorted cargo OF about
40 tons, a considerable portion Of which is lumber
BREAD-No transactions. There is considerable demand for
pilot and fine navy, but the stock on hand is light. lmporta-
tions-1OO casks per Hero, from Hamburg.
FLOUR-No change.
~TEAs-stock large we quote sales of Young HysOn and gun
powder 2c "a SOC black, inferior, zoe 10 y.
BOOTS & sHOEs-Sales of heavy boots at 81 25 kip bro
gans SIC "a SIT.
LU~MBER-Rough northwest jobbing at &c shingles, SO "a
81.
BRAN-A lot of inferior offered at auction and withdrawn,
there being no bid. Stock at the mill heavy-75t tons or more.
ISLAND PRODUCE-Without change. The supply of sugar
and coffee coming forward will be large.
PULU-No demand; last advices from the coast report sales
at 8 cents, and market oyer-stocked.
FIREWOOD.-A fair supply. Jobbing at $2 p cord.
BEEF AND P0RK.-No transactions. Hawaiian is arriving
freely from ports on the other Islands.
CLOTHING-Dull Sales at auction hardly realise IS cents
ON a dollar on cost and charges.
DRY GO0DS-Sales of Brown Greetings at S309c. Denims,
12015c. Bleached Shirtings, 646Sc.
RICE.-No change.
EXCHANGE.-Whalers Bills may be quoted at ] u cent.
premium. At the sailing of the Fanny Major, the demand is
quite small compared with that at the departure of the last
packet.

- The suggestion of our Correspondent PharoS
may be good or not according to the ability OF the
Treasury and Director of the Bureau of Public works.
There was a law passed by the Legislature of 1851,
and amended i'm 1852, authorizing the Minister of the
Interior to construct a lighthouse at the entrance of
the harbor, and for the maintenance of it, the Collec-
tor was empowered to collect three dollars each from
all foreign vessels and all Hawaiian vessels returning
from foreign voyages. The Custom House returns
Nor 1856 show 329 arrivals at this port, all told, which,
at So each, would amount to $987-about one-third
the sum required to keep q house lighted after it was
built.
In England privileges have been granted to private
parties to erect lighthouses, and then charge from one
to four cents per ton, according to the cost and i'm
portance of the light, ON all vessels passing, be they
coasters or Observation-Disclosures however be-
tween them in the amount taxed, at the same time as
suming the duty of collecting and paying it over to
said privileged parties. Why would not the same
plan do here surrounded with proper reservations and
restrictions? After estimating the cost, if it is found
that u tax per ton on shipping will be too high to pay
a reasonable interest ON it, and accord with good po-
Icy, let government guarantee a certain rate of in
terest to the builders until the increase of shipping
per annum shall relieve them from that small burden.
Those who have faith in our future greatness will not
hesitate to do that. If the proposition of PhGrOS is
not banter, (and we do not thipk it is) the government
will do wise to take the hint in time; it might result
in our being accommodated sometime or other with a
lighthouse, and at little or no expense to government.
We do not think that shipping, foreign or coasters,
would refuse to pay a reasonable tax for such a con-
venience. 1t may not be generally known that the
absence of a proper light at this place has a material
influence on the rate of insurance on vessels visiting
here. The number of wrecks, as limited at by Pharos,
will sufficiently account for that
any s~-~ rr0uuay n <chnnna- E1..n-sfo arrived
in sight off the harbor too late to find the buoys, and
was compelled to put to sea again, the wind blowing
a gale on shore, whereas, a light or bell would have
enabled her as well as the schooner Maria on Sun
day night to have found safety inside our harbor
We hope this subject of lighting the mouth of the har-
Dor, or stationing there a bell, will receive the imme-
date consideration of the authorities, whose provi nee
it is to carry out such improvements.

The trade, or agricultural pursuits that are carried
on for export, are too trifing at present to deserve
much notice ; but as this article is intended to give
some truthful account, however imperfect, of the
different enterprises of which Hilo can boast, we may
be excused for submitting u few statements with
respect to the commerce carried on by its residents.
The principle articles of export are coffee, arrow
root, pull, goat-skins, hides, sugar, molasses and
syrup, (the production of the three latter named
commodities having considerably varied of late years.
but all of which might be very extensively, and we
have no doubt, ~profitably raised, were the commune
cations with the interior of the country more accessi-
bic, where there are thousands and thousands OF
acres, having a soil of extraordinary fertility at
present uncultivated, %congenial to, and capable OF
producing most abundant crops ; but the state OF the
roads renders them almost impossible to any but foot
passengers. and the hitherto most expeditions mode
of conveyance being by means of sticks slung across
a natives shoulders with the burdens at the ends,
make it much to be regretted that although so favor
able to commerce, Hilo, in an agricultural point OF
view is so lamentably crippled. With more available
roads and bridges, but few ports on any of the
islands in the Pacific, acith an industrious population,
could pour into the market such an amount of pro-
duce.

A NEW STEAMER (in prospect)-We are pleased to
learn among the few items of news in town, that ad-
vices were received by the last mail from New York
from His Elk. E.. III. ALLEN, submitting a proposal
from VIM. II. Webb, Esq, the well known ship-bulider
in that city, to construct a propeller steamer for this
Government, for the sum of $35, 900. The vessel IS
to be of 300 tons burthen, with state-rooms or berths
for IA foreign passengers, and accommodations for
natives, with room for 100 head of cattle and all the
freight that may be offered. In addition, she is
to be fitted up with spars and canvass sufficient
to insure a rate of six or eight knots under full
sail, without the aid of her steam machinery.
We most sincerely hope that the Government will
close in with the proposal, and order a substantial
steam sea-boat. The life of our inter-island trade
depends ON it in a great measure, and whatever the
expense may be, we have no doubt that parties at
Hanalei, Koloa, Nawiliwili, Lahaina, Makawao and
Hilo, will c~heerfully take shares in the vessel, If
found necessary, or if desired by the Government.
We believe that no measure can be brought forward
that will be SO popular with all classes here as the
introduction of such a steamer.
