The VaIue of a Cable.

1t illustrates the need of a Pa
cific cable that the news of the two
most important events in the Ha-
waiian episode passed between
Washington and Honolulu only
after travelling backward round the
globe some $1,000 miles in order
to compass a direct distance of
some 5000 miles. The news of the
decision of President Cleveland to
attempt the restoration of the
queen reached Hawaii first by
steamer from New Zealand, having
travelled by telegraph under the
North Atlantic and through the
whole of Europe, Asia and Aus
tralia to reach the port from which
the steamer sailed. Similarly, the
first news that the Provisional
Government refused to accede to
the Presidents demands reached
Washington by steamer from Homo
lulu to New Zealand, and thence
by telegraph back over the same
roundabout route. 4 cable $500
miles long, from Honolulu to San
Francisco, would have saved 81 600
miles of Geographic and steamship
travel and about two weeks of time
in each instaDce-New York Sun.

Hon VIZ u. IRWIN, HoSoLULU, H.. /.
DEAR SIR:-In reply TO yours OF the
18th inst regarding the National Cane
>hredder furnished by the UNIVERSAL
Mill Co OF New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co this past season,
Iwould beg TO say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
thTre weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and il is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more | see of
its capabilities, the better pleased ] am
that put it in, as | am satisfied that it
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons OF
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger
quantity If necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
TO the three roller mill, which 7eceives it
without the intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is a saving of four ~ men daily
on the mill, as only one man IS required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
VIC W
5 per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as iI was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But l find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded cane
makes superior fuel, and the firemen
have less difficulty in maintaining a uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
l will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary to
! see the machine at work to iully appre-
ciate its capabilities.
1 remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo Sugar Co.
wPlans for erection of
these shredders may be seen
at the Office of the Agents,
where prices and other parti-
culars may also be obtained.

sos, and no one wanted to sell it for
q minute or two on account of the
unexplained cause Of uhe demand. Upon
inquiry it was discovered that =. r.
Post, a heavy New York Spectator, had
been caught playing the wrong side of
a straddle in about two million bushels
of wheat between New 7 Orl and Chi
the short end Of his spread here, that
being the cause of the quick IA adj
vance. The market reacted as soon as
that line was covered and when it be-
came known that there were no other
grounds for the bulge, there was a de-
cline to about the opening figures in
the next forty minutes but the rapid
changes so easily brought about had
made the traders nervous, and there
was another quick upturn to co.'s by
II o'clock. California reported no re-
lief from the drought there.
The strength of the close sales and
reports of the taking of a great deal
of wheat for export at New York was
IN a measure confirming the reports of
anxiety in Europe on account of dry
weather there. The market became
very strong within an hour from the
close and May Went up beyond its
highest previous price. July kept go
ing up about , cents per bushel in ad-
vance of May.
The final strength which made all
else forgotten came from the report of
over ninety boat loads having been
taken for export at New York, about
100000. bushels. On that May went up
to 61@613s about twenty minutes from
the close. There were denials of any
such numbers of boat loads having
been placed in New York Many sold
as high as 615a and July at 631a, and
Partridge was the most active buyer
on the Jump. There was reaction to
! 61% at the close, making net gain for
the day of ia cents.
Corn is without change, and provis-
ions after starting out on a bull ram

in pork, 21a cent advance in lard and
without much change in ribs.

New York, April 13.-When tomor-
rows European steamer shall have de-
parted, some four million dollars IN
gold shall have been shipped during the
week. of which all but $750,00O from
Boston is exported from this city.
The sub-treasury supplied Sl4s,0oo OIL
the amount shipped from here, the
hanks furnishing the rest. The ship
pents are heavy by reason of the tacl
;that bills of exchange are scarce and
gold is sent forward 70 met the require
ments.
The gold shipments had a slightly de-
pressing influence on the stock exchange
during the earlier part OF -nle day. puL
at no time caused any great pressure
10 sell. and in the later dealings was not
a factor in the speculation, which was
very strong during the last hour Of
business.
1t is not expected that the gold eX-
ports will reach serious proporuoAS, as
the exchange market does not warrant
it. the margin of profit being slight
and besides the London gold reserve IS
as the high point and the continent is
now offering special inducements for
the yellow metal
Therefore. neither in speculative nor
in other financial or business circles IS
the weeks outflow Of gold regarded
with apprehension.
The share market opened firm and
made a traction advance, but from lack
of buyers prices sagged off slightly, the
heaviness being increased somewhat by
the reported specie shipments, which
encouraged the bears TO q demonstra-
ton against values.
Offerings to inaugurate downward
movement met with no success, the
speculation becoming stagnant with
American Tobacco. and some few of
the other specialt1es. No changes of
importance took place until shortly
before the beginning of the last hour
of business. About that time, good
buyers came into the market to whose
purchases the market quickly respond
ed and the appreciation of values con-
tinUed to the close, the final dealings
being decidedly strong in tone. The
late advance was in the nature of
little surprise on the part of the bulls
to the bears who had failed to weaken
the confidence of holders Of stocks.
The strong undertone exhibited by the
general list under unfaVorable circum-
stances induced the longs to give the
shorts a little show, and considerable
covering was done in the late trading.
The bond market was fairly firm up
TO noon, and then became easier. but
rallied with the stock market in the
late dealings and closed firm.

As VIEWED BY BRADsrREET.
Prospects of Great Strikes Give
Gloomy Aspect.

New York. April 15.-Bradstreet's re-
view of trade tomorrow will say: At
western cities, usually reported more
favorable, business features form the
exception this week.
AT Chicago, the rush of spring trade
is over although orders for dry goods
hold out well, notably for cotton dress
goods. Trade in shoes and hardware
has decreased.
Unfavorable weather has restricted
sales Of millinery, dry goods, clothing,
carpets and drugs at st. Louis, but
manufacturers Of shoes report trade
as active as previously.
Business at Kansas City appears
quite regular.
At Omaha, business is on a greater
basis than during March, hardware
being especially more active.
At San Francisco, jobbers report
merchandise moving more freely and a
better feeling is noted. Extreme heat
with north winds, are reported to have
seriously damaged growing wheat in
southern California and in the western
valleys
Prices Of wheat, steel, iron, cattle,
cotton and corn are ali lower, the eX-
IRENE drop in wheat being occasioned
largely by extraordinarily heavy re-
ceipts, based in Fart on the report
that the wheat crop is less damaged
by the recent cold weather than at
first reported.
Prices of iron. west and east. have
been further scaled. due to cutting of
railway rates and competition between
furnaces.
Oats have advanced a pork so cents;
lard IL, while sugar and print cloths
remain unchanged.
The industrial situation is more COM
plicated and less encouraging.
There is a prospect of widespread
strike of coal miners and others this
month, with a probability of further
strikes and lock-outs at larger cities
early in May. There are fifty-six strikes
now in force throughout the country,

The Deacon Was "Touched. ,,

New York, April 1S-On Wall street
it is said that Deacon S. V. White has
been badly hit in the recent fall Of
wheat. Those who should know claim
that the deacon began buying a few
days ago on the advice of P. d. Ar
mour, of Chicago, when May wheat
sold at 81 cents. He increased his
holdings, so the report had it. by more
than a million bushels, with every half
cent advance. At one time he could
have sold at a handsome profit, but
Mr.. Armour had assured him that
wheat was going to 80 cents and he
could sell at that figure. When the
price touched 66 cents last week the
deacon is credited with having had
Ii, 000, 900 bushels. Since then there
has been a shrinkage of more than six
cents a bushel, and the report that
Deacon White is again slightly en-
barrassed was started when his bro
kers began unloading with the market
weak and below GO.

MEETS MANY OBSTACLES.
Business Improvement Hampered in
Many Ways

impression that there will be no i'm
portant legislation on the currency or
tariff. This impression, whether erro-
neous or not, influences the action of
many.
On the whole though, progress is still
unobsTucted by uncertainty.
The most cheering sign is the de-
crease in importance of the CONNER
cial failures, for though one mortgage
loan concern has failed with liabilities
of $4,000 600, the liabilities in all COM

AS TO FINANCE.
Brndstreet's Views Entirely Opposed
to Dun'S.

New York, April 9.-Bradsureets
Financial Review tomorrow viii say:
Excessive dullness prevailed in specu-
lative circles during the greater part
of the week, the condition being in
striking contrast to the activity which
asserted itself fortnight ago.
The dullness seems to be due to the
late reports that crops are not dam
aged as badly as reported a week ago.
Uncertainty in tariff legislation has
become a factor, and created hesita-
ton on the part of large speculative
interests.
London has done practically nothing.
and it will now be seen that the recent
buying from that quarter was mainly
the work of professional dealers Or
jobbers of stocks, who purchased with
a view to the probability of selling to
the foreigners with an advance in the
next few months. A few high grade
stocks still assert themselves. but buy
ing has been practically suspended for
the time being.
