Arrival of the s. S. Australia with
Fourteen Days Later News.

Fourteen Days Later News.
(From our special correspondent.)
The news of the recent insurrectionary
outbreak IN Honolulu, while totally I'M
expected, did not have any disastrous
effect on any of the Hawaiian stocks,
nor is it going to affect trade in the
least. The general sentiment of mer-
chants in the Hawaiian trade is that the
effect of the outbreak will only be to
increase the confidence in the stability
OF the government, and thus increase
business. The attempts of the two ma
tlves and their followers to overthrow
the government, however, have been
freely commented on by the American
press. In every instance the acts of the
present ministry receive the warmest
appreciation. A few of the would-be
Jokers in the newspaper profession, rail
at the idea of attacking bungalow with
dynamite, and especially at the employ
ment of a baseball pitcher as bomb
thrower. The whole incident will not
cause a ripple on trade.
Sugar Matters.
The local market is fairly active
though prices are still lower in SYM
pathy with the New York market.
Granulated is quoted at cents, confec-
toners A. al ~ cents, other whites at
S58 cents, Extra G. at 65s cents and
Golden G. at 81 cents.
The feeling in the Eastern markets Is
not favorable to high prices. The bears
have been encouraged by the publica-
ton OF Mr.. LIGHTS latest estimates of the
beet sugar crop. The sugar beets
abroad are said to be looking we'll.
