FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
Now York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-During the first
hour OF business at the stock exchange
the trading was all in tho indust ial
stocks to the exclusion Of the railway
list. All the industrials were in de-
mand, especially just after the opening,
when Sugar scored up to s2%, Chicago
Gas to 66H, Distillers to COX. Lead up
to 304 and do. preferred to 7611. No
new reasons were given for tho rise
which was again based in the short in
terest pade while the Wilson bill was
under discussion in Washington
AT that time q big short inter. st was
made, particularly in Whiskey and
Sugar. and the bears then anticipated
no difficulty in covering after the pass.
age OF the measure referred to. In this
they were totally mistaken, as the in.
siders we're quick to perceive that the
short interest was unwieldly and could
be forced to cover. The advance from
rs last week to SO to-day is conclusive
on this score. Distillars was even
stronger than Sugar, for, after rising TX
to 29x at the opening, it was allowed
to recede to 90, and at the close suddenly
pushed up to 301s.
Sugar, on the other hand, ran off to
sos and closed at that figure, net gain
OF only Is. Chicago Gas jumped to 6611,
but near the close, on moderately large
offerings, the price fell back to 64@64N.
The railway list developed nothing of
interest and, if anything, was weak
during the early part of the day. Read
ing showed little strength, advancing
l to 214. Near the close Northern
Pacific preferred doomed into promi-
hence and rose l Is to 1873. The stock
was influenced by statements by Presi-
dent Hill, of the Great Northern, to the
effect that their trapscontinental rates
had been fixed up.
A sudden rise in Whiskey over 80 just
near the close stiffened the whole
market which left off firm and quiet,
4 to 2ss per cent. higher for the stock
named. Reading, Northern Pacific pre-
ferred, Lackawanna and Lead. Chi
cago Gas lost l per cent, but the de-
cline otherwise was merely fractional.
Total sales were 1852, ZOO shares, of

A BIG BLAZE.
Henry POOr's House, at Waikiki,
Totally Destroyed.

Yesterday morning about 10 80
the public became gradually aware
that there was a fire at Waikiki,
although no alarm was turned in.
Rumor, which always runs ahead of
facs,se fire to several residences, but
the actual fire was contented to
destroy one, that of I'll. +. Poor at
Kapiolani park. Mr.. Poor was at
the Kapahulu ranch at the time,
but ne fastened to the scene im-
mediately upon being notified
The house was already completely
enveloped in flames and it was too
late to save anything OF import
ance.
The fire was first observed by a
Japanese employed by Mr.. Hart,
and he gave the alarm. Men hast
ened from various directions, and
carpenter working on Z. l.. Car
ter houses, IL man ~ WV h''AAN "
Prince, and an old fireman headed
the efforts to effect some salvage.
Mattresses, bedding and a few
other articles of furniture were res
cued before the heat became too
great to do anything further. The
kitchen and bath houses adjoining
the main house were saved, being
partially protected by trees, and
by the favorable direction of the
wind.
The origin of the fire is wrapped
in mystery. No one of Mr.. Poor's
family occupied the house the
night before, but the front gate
was open, and there were fresh
wheel tracks near the house.
Among the articles taken from the
building was shawl of unknown
