with clear anchors, is considered good, though
somewhat rocky, and little or no danger is ever
experienced, more than usual where a number Of
ships congregate. The best anchorage is opposite
the native church in about fifteen fathoms. There
has been generally during the winter months a
southerlv storm which the natives call a"hona, "
but it seldom or ever comes when there Is q fleet
in port, or so strong that a vessel cannot ride 1t
out in perfect safety. There has never yet been
any vessel lost at this port by stress OF weather /;
and but one. under any circumstances, which was
lost on the reef some two or three miles from the
channel. 1t was a remark of old Capt. Butler
who resided here for many years, that he never
saw it blow so hard here as to endanger a ship
at anchor with good tackle and the immunity
from accident to the shipping which have visited
the port, is the best proof of its safety.
AZ near as we can ascertain, the first whale
ships that Visited these islands and touched at
this port were the Begina, Capt. Gardner, and
. Capt. Worth, which was some where
about 1919. A few northwest traders touched
here from 1899 to the date above given, but that
trade dropping off, the whaler was a welcome
visitor, and we are informed by old Mr.. White
that the g Old Palace" was first built as a home
to entertain them. 1t was erected by, or under
the direction of Kahekili, (Old Thunder,) who at
thattime was the head man of Kamehameha L.
I'm 1912 Capt. John Stetson was appointed the
first American Nice-COnsular Agent at this port,
and from the records kept in the consulate Office
we gather the following table of the number of
of ships touching at this port in the course OF
each year since that date. Most of the ships
touched in the spring and again in the fall. The
figures are the total arrivals for the years
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1857-02-12

To whale ships no port at the islands offers
better facilities for all their business with the
exception of heavy repairs) than does Lahalna.
AS it is on this island, and but a short distance
that the extensive potato fields are located that
have furnished an almost inexhaustible supply for
many years, and also the large sugar plantations
from which the best sugar and molasses are pro-
cured, and fine herds of cattle which dress up
better than any beef slaughtered for market that
can be produced on the group.
Efforts have been made for the last two or three
years to introduce the g Tombez'' variety of sweet
potatoes, and the last fall season we were able to
supply fully the demand of as good an article as
has ever been offered in the market. Fruits are
generally abundant. The grape seems to luxu-
riate in the rich soil, and the sunny, clear weather
<of Lahaina, as it is, par excellence, the fruit of
this place or Islands. Figs, bananas and melons
are produced in abundance, and pumpkins enough
for all New England to make pies for a general
Thanksgiving. All other supplies needed by
nnorohont Z ubulo ofripo con olroyr be procured
at this port.
In riding through 50 Tropic road a few days
since we counted twenty varieties of trees and
shrubs growing by the road side, and presenting
within a miles ride, as fine specimens of tropical
productions as any similar drive to be found on
the Islands.
The population of Lahaina is estimated at
fifteen hundred, the foreign part of which will
not probably exceed one to two hundred. The
causes that have been at work depopulating the
islands have likewise tended to reduce the numbers
here. "Years ago there was a hut under every
bread fruit tree - was the statement of an old
man who has seen the four Kamehamehas as the
rulers of the land. So far as local diseases,
we are singularly free. The climate is unequaled;
the mild, sea breezes temper the heat of the day,
and the cool breeze of the night makes sleeping a
luxury to be enjoyed.
Epidemics do not seem to act with the virulence
that they do at some other places. There We're
but seven fatal cases of small pox, while some
districts counted by thousands. The " boohoo
fever, - as it is called, which is said to have APP
peared first at this place, but which has now
entirely disappeared, or exists only in isolated
cases, is not considered acclimated among us.

The domestic of sugar as well as cot
fee in the islands has been greater during the past
than in former years. 1t is supposed that the amount
of sugar produced the past year is at least 500 tons,
about one half Of which has been exported. Of cof-
fee the produce has been not less than 10000 lbs.
Only q small portion appears above as having been
exported. But of both sugar and coffee, the whaling
feet viii yearly require larger supplies, as they leave
home with smaller stocks, owing to the high rates
these articles command in the States.
The receipts at the customs for 1856, show q falling
OF Of about 3 5000 from those of 1855, which is &c
counted for in part by the decrease in the importa-
ton Of goods (s230,OO0 and spirits. $500 gals, }
and these items show about the same falling off as the
number of whaling and merchant vessels visiting the
group.
In order to give a condensed view of the commerce
of the islands for ten years past, We have prepared
the following exhibit, which we think will be found
as correct as it can be made, though some of the
totals differ from those published in previous years

ment concerning this oil-wonderful, if true. But
the account smacks too much of the 8 lard ol' fever
which prevailed in the States n few years since, to
find many believers here. The account is worth
reading, whether it proves to be a newspaper smy

by His Royal Highness Duke Constantine, brother Of
Alexander H., Emperor of Russia, in a Russian line

On the whole, the statistics published for 1856 show
the trade of the islands in a more favorable and
healthy condition than those of any previous year since
1850. The number of merchant and whaling vessels
visiting the islands during the year has been less,
but the importations have also been 5000 less,
while the exports show an increase of about S 800, 900.

THuRSDlE. ZEE. -. 1851.

- WE have to report but little activity in the market this week.
In the absence Of shipping, the demand for goods is light, and
confined principally to domestic wants. There appears to be
but little confidence felt in the approaching spring trade, and
dealers are disposed to make 10 addition to their ct cks. The
stock now in the market, together with the cargoes On the way.
will form Z large supply for all the wants Of the spring and gum
mer trade.
The Hawaiian Flour Company paid q dividend of Is per cant.
to its stockholders on Monday last. The capital Of the Com
pany is $4,000. We are very glad that the Company has met
with success during the past season. It is almost the only sue
cessful company enterprise that has met with success at these
islands, and we trust It may lead to Others.
There have been no arrivals Of merchant vessels since our last,
except the schooner Reporter, from San Francisco, for q cargo
Of potatoes, and the only departure is the brig Hero, for Sydney.
with a full cargo.
The whale-ship Congress 2d, arrived on Monday, and is ship
ping SEQ to 1000 bbls oil in the Aspasia. for New York. e
hear that the ASpasia has also engaged considerable dry freight
for between decks, and that the sch Mary has been chartered to
proceed to Fannings Island for a cargo of cocoanut oil, which
will probably be here in season TO go forward by the 4spasia.

DGO O4bO I'LL INK 4 L v U 4.
SPERM7Since our last, several small lots Of sperm oil, mostly
landed from the dzor, have been forced into the market, and the
consequence has been the further decline in prices. The TRANSACT
tons include sales of Isl bbls in lots as follows 60 bbls be-
longing to parties, out of town, at 125 cts per gallon cash on de-
livery 391 bbls also in parcels at 1872 to 135 cts, and 800 do at
1874 cts per gallon. Until the balance of these small parcels is
worked out of the market we cannot expect any advance upon
the above quotations. Holders of oil to any great extent refuse
TO be governed by the prices of the past week, Knowing that in
some instances it has been disposed of below its actual value, and
that a reaction must follow. We are informed by a gentleman
from Nantucket that a sale of 100 bbls has been made there the
past week at 135 cts per gallon, which is the lowest price that
any has been sold for in that market. In New York a sale of
400 bbs has been made at 125 cts per gaIonSa las we learn by pi-
vate advices.
hHALE-Sinceo our last, more activity has been manifested in
whale and the transactions include sales of 100 bbls-6OO bbs
at SOL cts per gallon, 200 do at a price not transpired, and 800
bbls partly dark at 79 cts per gallon.
NHALFBONE-The transactions include sales 1000 lbs Ochotsk
at 20 cts, and 5000 lbs South Sea at SIS.
The amount of sperm oil on hand in the country as nearly as
can be ascertained is 36,345 bbls-New Bedford 22,245 bbls {;
Fairhaven $40; Nantucket 5000 Westport 1880; Mattapoisett
1000 Warren 1000 Newport 500, and New London and other
places make up the balance. The estimated quantity of whale
bone in the country at the present time is 100000 lbs-N. b.
