sCARcIrYoF CASH AMONG GHInAMEH.

Scarcity of cash is probably more
felt at the present time by the Chi
nese than by any other class of the
community, especially the retail
store keepers. The excitement in
trade, induced by the approaching
holiday season, does not benefit
them to any appreciable extent.
This is the white mans harvest, as
the Chinese New Year is the Celes-
tial's harvest. Reduction in prices
among white traders, caused by
keen competition, has apparently
diverted considerable of the native
trade, that was formerly confined
mostly to Chinatown. Some long
established Chinamen's shops, that
deal in goods used by foreigners
and natives, complain that their
takings were never so small as
lately; in several instances the re-
duction In gross revenue exceeds 30
percent. AS just now stated. diver
sion of trade into other channels ac-
counts largely for this reduction.
But slackness OF trade is not the
only cause of red uced revenue. The
low price of rice directly plays
an important part. This will be
clearly seen when 1t is understood
that almost every Chinese store
keeper is more or less interested in
rice plantations. SO that fall in
the price of rice means n direct
lessening of the tradesman's income.
Butneither of these causes. .norboth
combined, account fully nor mainly
for the unusual scarcity of cash
among the class above referred to.
The great fire of April last has had
more to do than anything and every
thing else in producing this cOndi-
ton. The immense destruction of
property was only a part. The
restoration OF buildings of n better
character and more costly nature
involved the expenditure of large
amount of money. Where actual
cash was required, it was mainly
supplied by borrowed capital, and
material has been furnished on
credit.
OF course, these heavy liabilities,
incurred by SO large a proportion of
the Chinese tradesmen, as result
of the fire, have to be met, and the
meeting of them is absorbing, and
will continue to absorb for long
time to come, most of the takings
of these people. Hence, the special
scarcity among them of cash for
other purposes.

The MISSION TO SAMOA.

1t is generally believed in this
community that Mr.. j. f. Bush
will leave Honolulu, by the next
steamer, for Samoa, as Hawaiian
Commissioners to that benighted
land. At least, it is so believed by
people not in the Government CON
fidence. Whether such is really
the intention is not positively
known, for no public official an
nOuncement of that nature has eyer
been made. Possibly the belief Is
without solid foundation. But
the rumor remaining uncontradicted
justifies the belief.
1t is positively known that the
Government has long had some
semi-secret purpose regarding
Samoa. We say semi-secret, be-
cause it is a matter that has never
been definitely and unambiguously
given to the public. But speeches
have been delivered in the Assembly

SATURDAY NIGHT.

The approaching Christmas season
has the effect of producing unusual
life and cheerfulness in the retail
business quarters of Honolulu, in
the evenings. On Saturday many
of the stores kept open until 8 or 10
o'clock at night, and made extra
efforts to light up the prettily
decorated windows. King Brothers
Art Store, III. j. Hart's Elite ice
cream saloon, c. J. Fishel's Milli-
merry house, and f. Horns Pioneer
candy and cake factory, all on Hotel
street, were conspicuous for their
artistic display. Down Fort street,
beginning at Hotel street, all the
stores dealing in Christmas goods,
with about half a dozen eXcep-
tions, kept open, and appeared to be
doing good business. Geo. Engel-
hardt's at the bottom of the street,
was brilliantly illuminated. The
blaze of light from dozens of lamps
inside was reflected into the other
wise dark street, and made that
particular spot halting place to
passers, many of whom stepped in
to see and purchase. The auction
room of Messrs. E. y. Adams d Co.,
in Queen street, was a rendezvous
for seekers after Christmas goods.
The throng ebbed and flowed with
departures and arrivals, but main.
tanned pretty steady fullness until
the GLIDE tongue of Mr.. Morgan
the auctioneer, became wearied Will
wagging, and the sale terminated
for the night. A clear sky, coo
atmosphere, and dry streets were
extra inducements to ladies ant
children to turn out and see the
sights, and turn out they did, max

THE PANORAMA OF kllAuEA.

During Saturday evening, from
the opening to the close, there was
continuous string of visitors TO the
Panorama of Kilauea. At times the
throng was so great that people had
to wait in the adjoining room for
their turn. The universal testimony,
SO far as it reached the ear of our
representative, was one of satisfac-
ton. Those who had seen the
wonderful volcano, declared the
picture Il true and natural portrayal
of the original while those who had
not seen it, acquired vivid i'm
preston of the extent and grandeur
of that great natural wonder. To
say that the picture is well worth
seeing, and worth the admission
charged. (50 cents for adults) is re-
peatino simple truth.

A NUISANCE.

The injudicious blowing of n bus
horn is to be deprecated at all times.
The driver of the Waikiki omnibus,
is well known and respected, as a
driver. He is obliging and civil
to his passengers, and possesses
many other good qualities, but, his
blowing of the horn, more especially
on Fort street when ii is crowded
with restive horses, nervous ladies',
and delicate children, as it as
on Saturday afternoon last, is a
subject of public complaint.
More than a dozen people have
called at the DAILY BULLETIN office,
with request that public attention
be called to this matter. 1t is
reasonable to expect the driver will
for the future, discontinue his un-
necessary blasts.
