The past week brought forth little new
In trade and business circles. and the re-
ports from the leading business centres
are to the effect that trade continues quiet
and singularly free from speculative move-
ments. The bank funds continue to in
crease, though not so rapidly as for some
weeks previously, and the demand for
money In the interior has by no means
equalled the expectations. The movement
of general merchandise continues to be
made up almost wholly Of hand to. mouth
purchases. Philadelphia merchants have
been inclined TO take more hopeful view
OF trade prospects In the near future,
since the settlement OF the Pennsylvania
labor troubles. but their hopefulness is not
shared by the merchants OF New York
aud Boston. Industrial interests are de.
pressed. aud cotton and wooden mill men
are inclined to regard the outlook as OPP
posed to revival. and their complaints
~ to the effects Of the late heavy sales OF
cotton and wooden fabrics at the East are
based. they claim, on the injury done the
textile man ,fscturing interests. There
has probably been more activity in the
Boston dry goods market than in any
locality. but even here there is little en-
enlargement except for jobbers. The
wool market in Boston has been more &C
tive than for some time, but prices are
unchanged. and so long as manufactured
goods remain 50 cheap. there is little prob.
ability of change for the better. Cotton
prices have fuctuated to some extent ia
Liverpool, and this has naturally had
some effect on the home market. Reports
- to the ceming cotton crops still continue
shighly favorable. The iron market re-
mains quiet with prices unchanged, and
there Is little ground to expect any i'm
mediate Improvement. Reports as to the
shortage in the wheat crop still vary. bu,

The question Of the practice of poly
gamy among members Of the Mormon
church has now assumed such phase
that 1t must fairly and squarely be faced
and dealt with by the authorities as a
crime OF the worst dye. Not only has the
practice invaded other Territories than
Utah, but even more than one adjacent
State. When in its infancy it pleaded that
there was no express law against it. The
common law did not deal with It because
II had never contemplated its deliberate
commission. and no Federal statute had
as yet been passed controlling the Terri
tories in that respect. The Latter Day
Saints further claimed that 1t formed part
Of the exercise Of their religion and as
such was protected by the Constitution.
Whatever may be said tor such audacious
If not specious reasoning, all that is now
changed. A bigamy statute was at length
passed by Congress, but unfortunately
permitted to remain tor many years a
dead letter, probably in hopes that its
mere existence on the statute books would
have deterrent effect; but when forbear-
ance became no longer virtue the law
was at length put In force and the opinion
Of the Supreme Court of the United
States firmly expressed, affirming the per.
feet constitutionality Of the statute in
question.

The Russian Government has muzzled
the press on the Afghan border question.
Possibly one purpose of this order is to
prevent the press from furnishing any in
formation to England concerning such
military movements as may be going on
in Russian Turkestan. 1t Is sometimes
rather convenient TOR government to be
sble to stop the publication Of news, and
the military authorities in the Soudan APP
pear to have acted on this theory. In their
case. however. there Is nm awkward Men,

nothing Of the same kind to apprehend,
however, for she can send any too candid
correspondents to Siberia.

AbOut Yachting.

The arrival of the clipper schooner Fanny
Gilmore in these waters, and the alterations
that are being made in her hull, created a
little stir among our yacht owners, as it is
confidently asserted that the gentle stranger
will give such fast vessels as the Emma and
Nettie Merrill something to do to keep up
with her. Already the apple of discord has
been thrown among the trio of nautical
beauties mentioned, and as we have no sea-
going Paris to decide to which one the prize
shall be given for beauty, the question will
have to be changed to one of speed. The
Nettie and Emma have run over the course
between here and Lahaina so often that they
naturally might be expected to lead the way
for the fair Fanny. But the special ad-
mirers of that craft say that she will go of
on her own account the first time she leaves
the harbor bound 10 windward, and that if
her rivals wish to see what really good sail
ing is they must go out of the harbor about
an hour ahead of the Fanny, and they will
have a chance to study her methods she
passes them off Coco Head.

ISLAND NOTES
KoxALA. Hawaii. June 18th

KogALA, Hawaii, June 9Th.
1t is said that we are soon to have
another wedding. Kohala is doing well in
that line, and We hope it will continue till
there is not single person of marriage
able age left in the district.
Multi enjoyed short call from Mr..
Baldwin, of Maui, last week. He was
much pleased with the improvements
made and being made at our model mill.
Star Mill, Thompson Brothers and
AIakupols Plantation all have cane grow
ing nicely from this years plant. No
others have yet planted.
Miss Edmonson, who has been govern
ess in Judge Harris family for long time,
has gone to the Coast, but it is hoped she
will soon return.
All the planters are wearing full grin
in consequence of the improved tone oil
the sugar market, which, together with
the fine season, will make up to some ex.
tent for past troubles, if both price and
weather prove permanent.
The new minister, Rev. Mr.. Jordan, ar.
rived a week ago, and seems to bt
the right kind of a man for this kind of {
field.

Points about Cotton Growing.

Mr. ". B. Starkey writes to US from
KaupO, Maui, sending with his letter SAM
pie of Peruvian Sea Island cotton, that more
nearly resembles fine wool than it does cot
ton. The sample being submitted to the
examination of a gentleman familiar with
cotton, is pronounced by him to be cotton
grown on very old plants and almost worth
less, as it is very tender and short stapled
He furthermore says that the cotton seeds
still in the sample are the true Sea Island
variety, but that they are self-soWn proba-
bly,, and too old to be capable of producing
good quality OF cotton.
Our CORES pondent sends with the sample
of cotton a request that we put him in the
way of procuring some good seed, and be-
Heving that there are others who would like
to know where the same can be had, would we
say that the Minister of the Interior has re-
ceived a large quantity of the best of seed
from various localities famous for thS quail
ity of their cotton, and that by application
to Mr.. Jaeger, who has the seed in charge,
they can get the kind and quantity they de-
sire.
Experience has demonstrated the fact that
in the KauLo region of Maui the best cotton
can be grown. The question as to whether
it can be grown, prepared for market and
shipped to Liverpool al an expense that will
leave the producer a margin of profit, re-
mains to be proved. The experiment is one
well worth trying by anyone that has plot
of ground favorable to the growth of cotton,
and we hope to see it tried.

Difficulties in the Way Of Industrial
PrOGreSS.

A correspondent, writing from one of the
other islands, in answer to inquiries as to
how he was getting along in some lttjdS.
industries which he has epgassz.ee.a, in reples
that the Pa Prospects are not very encouraging.
-GE4eBays that he has nice place of nearly d
hundred acres good land which he owns in
| fee simple-none leased. He has a good
house and about five acres of sweet potatoes
| growing finely, and some fifty pigs of a fine
! breed. He can grow almost anything that
requires warm, moderately dry climate
and rich soil. And still how to make money
| in legitimate way il puzzle to him. Hogs
| are in good demand; but when they are sent
| to Honolulu they fetch only seven cents per
| pound on foot, and freights and other ex-
penses eat up all this and more. He has
shipped nice sweet oranges to the same
market, but OH the way one-third of them
were stolen, and the rest did not sell for
! enough to pay the expenses.
| The locality where our correspondent re-
sides is a famous one for raising fowls. The
! indigenous owl of the country is equally
prolific, and the cost of the ammunition
! that he has to expend shooting that chicken
! loving bird OF prey costs him more than is
realized frem the sale of the fowls that hap
| PLY arrive at market table age. The cats
and rats take their full share of the fowls
also, and chicken raising is not therefore,
paying business.
In the mountains there are plenty of wild
cattle, but when one organic ss a party to
hunt them down, ones proportion of the
amount realized from the sale of the hides
barely pays the expenses of the trip after
| them.
There may be money in frewood, and our
| correspondent hopes soon to test the ques
| ton. Sorghum thrives wonderfully in that
locality, and if there is anything in sorghum
sugar, it ought to be had here. He has
tried the growing of raplie, but the plants
set out grow hardly at all.
1t now only remains to plant mulberry
trees, try the silk industry, mortgage his
| homestead and quit. Seriously, there ap
pear to be many drawbacks in the way o
the success of small industries in thi:
country, but patience and intelligent man
| agement would doubtless overcome them.

HoxoKAA, Hawaii, June 5, 1885.

The funeral of the late J. S. Richards
took place yesterday. His remains were
borne from the residence of Mr.. w. H.
Richards to the new burying ground set
apart by Bishop Willis. The coffin was
carried all the way by eight young men,
personal friends of the deceased, followed
by the largest eOneourse of people ever seen
in this district. Although his bereaved
parents deeply mourned his loss, it was a
source of consolation to them to see so
many friends come to pay last tribute OF
respect to one who, had h lived, bid fail
to be an honor to his parents. But now
his eyes are closed in death, and he fills
an honorable grave.
