SUMMARY OF MATERIAL PROGRESS.

Since our last summary pub
lished on the 30th July to go by the
Mariposa, there has been little addi-
tional to note in the way of material
progress; but the following statis-
teal information whlch has been
compiled, specially for the Ga
zETTE, up to the end of July, will be
found interesting.
The number Of passengers who
left the Islands for San Francisco
during July was 100, while the
number of those who arrived from
that port during the same month
was 161-leaving an excess of de
! partures over arrivals 80. The
number Of persons (chiefy Asiatics)
who departed from the Islands for
China and Japan was 81, and the
arrivals from these countries during
! the same period were Is; leaving an
excess Of 46 departures, chiefly Chi
nese. The State of Oregon added l
passenger to our population, and
British Columbia added 6; but
there were no departures for these
countries during the month of July.
The net excess of departures over
arrivals was IS; but at this season,
the departures usually exceed the
arrivals.
The exports of sugar during July
amounted to 14,939,5S2 lbs, valued
at 81, 1,780,198.67; of rice ASSOC lbs
valued at S2O,763,5O but the heaviest
shipments are always during May |
and June
The traffic on the city tramways
increased considerably during July. |
The total number of passengers car
ried in July was $685., and cars are
now running over all the Company's
ines--the last route having been
opened on the oath July, and con
Meeting the Hotel with Nuuanu
street via Alakea, Fort and School
streets. The total receipts on all
the tramway lines in july amounted
to S5,4478O.
Regarding the Oahu railroad, the
line that will connect Pearl
river with Honolulu, the works are
being vigorously pushed and the
turn tables, frogs and other smaller
fittings received from the United
States, are now on the ground. The
arrival of the Deutchland from Ger
many is now anxiously awaited, as
that vessel brings all the rails for the
line which has about IL miles gra-
ded and ready to receive them. The
station buildings are not yet erected
but plans are being prepared for
these structures.
The recent riot stopped certain
kinds of business only day, and on
-he day following work was resumed
everywhere and now goes on as if
nothing had happened to interruptit.
The schooner c. H. Upper az 7
lived from Vancouver, British Col 5
lmbia, or July 28th with about 100 C
niles of submarine cable and land
wire and fittings. There
ire between forty and fifty miles of
able, and over fifty miles Of land
Inc. This advance shipment Will !

stands Of Maui and Oahu via Molo-
lai, including land lines over por-
ions Of all three islands. This viii
,e large instalment of the entire
inc; and the portion named is ex- 5.
)ected to be completed, so far as ii
aging is concerned, by the 9th inst 6.
The more distant islands of Hawaii
md Kauai will be connected later,
md as soon as the balance of cable
arrives. On the island of Oahu the T
point Will be at Coco =
Head, about twelve miles distant
rom Honolulu which will be con F
lected by land line. The poles for y
he land lines also arrived by the G. d
/. Tupper, which was to sail from
honolulu last Saturday, Aug. 3, to 7
ay the cable as above outlined. +, +,
In conclusion it may be stated
hat the public health is good, and \,
usiness of all kinds is about as Nl
sual. IN
