Mr.. E. Il. HENDRY, Manager Hawaiian
Hardware Co., Honolulu.
DEAR SIR have just completed some
three miles of the Jones Locked Fence"
and must say that l am very much pleased
with it, in fact it is THE fence for ranch.
L had about a mile to construct over
''pahoehoe," where it was nearly impos-
sible TO get post down and found, in this
case especially the Jones Fence was
great saving of labor. There are places in
this fence where the posts are at least 70
feet apart, the space between filled in with
stays. There is no sag to it and it Is as
springy as a wire mattress. I am confident
that it will turn ordinary stock.
/ have some two and half miles more
to construct over a country where wild cat
tie are very plentiful, and as soon as it has
undergone the test there will write you
further. If it will turn the stock on this
part of the land. and l am confident it will,
you can rest assured that it will turn most
anything except n lava flow.
Very truly yours,
j. MONSARRAT.

FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL
Quotations Of Staple Products in the
Leading Markets.
Stocks and Bonds-New York Financial
Review, Received Daily by Pullen, Crock
er & Co,
NEW YORK. Dec. Z

Speculation instead of proving sensitive
to the announcement of gold shipments to-
morrow responded with spirit to the news
from Washington which seemed to assure
excellent prospects of an early passage of
the railroad pooling bill. The shorts covered
extensively through the day and the indica-
tions that there would be tariff legislation
at Washington helped sentiment and full
nished an excuse for renewed bull manipu-
latiou in sugar refining. The engagement
of gold for export tomorrow did not reach
as large figures as had been pr edic ted earlier
in the week. .and the transaction is con-
Quoted on very narrow margin aof profit.
But the foreign exchange market rules ex-
tremely strong and unless a new influence
is introduced to weaken it the prospects
favor a continuance of the outward move
ment. Alre ady the increase In treasury
gold reserve has been checked by the re-
demptions of legal tenders, and has been
reduced IRON the Sill .Oo0,000 maximum
reached few days ago. Today's export
gold was withdrawn from the sub-treasury
and if there are heavy shipments abroad it
is extremely doubtful if the governments
free gold is not soon reduced materially.
The subject of new banking law has been
taken up by the Senate committee, but the
best observers of the Washington situation
do not believe that financial legislation can
be carried through al this session OF Con-
CESS. 1t seems premature to build great ex-
pee tations upon the passage of the railway
pooling bill, and if recovery in earnings
should occur after the new gear, the i'm
provement at best is likely to be.slow.. here
is no doubt that today's dealings largely
reduced the outstanding short interest and
the support from this source is weaker than
it has been in some time. We are inclined
TO think the professional character of the
speculation forbids a sustained movement
of values at present. and should not advise
purchases except on smart reactions.

Henry GEORGES Favorite Theory Ern-
bodied In a Bin BY HIr- Mcguire
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The feature Of
the debate upon the Wilson bill which
has been most surprising, IS the unex-
pectedly strong sentiment in the direc-
tion Of free trade and single tax theories
developed among the Democrats Of the
west and south Representative Brock
inridge of Kentucky. called attention
in his speeches to the the tendencies in
thee directions manifested throughout
the thorough and diversified threshlng
Of economic principles which has been
in progress since the revenue measure,
with income tax accessory. came before
the house. The whole drift BIZ politics.
as he saw it, was back toward the ays-
TENS of direct taxation enforced ia the
earlier stages of this government.
In different spirit spoke Representa-
tive Hendricks of New York, a repre-
sentative of the more conservative east
ern element Of his party, who while adj
hitting the current which Ar. Brock
inridge commented upon, was unable 60
believe that the Democratic party could
lie going over bodily to what ne called
the s0cialisGc school Of Tom johnson.
1t has remained for Representative
Mcguire of California, TO bring forward
the most far reaching proposition placed
before the house. For the first time con
gress VIII be brought face to face and
placed on record with the single land tax
scheme of which Henry George IS the
author. Ar. Mcguire has drawn UP with
great care and study a bill which gives
effect TO the single tax theories and Ire

WAGES NOT REDUCED.


Union racine Has Made NO General Cut
Says superintendent Deuel..
DENVER, an. 29-Generl Superinten-
dent Deuel. Of the Union Pacific, who re-
turned from Omaha this morning, says
emphatica1y that there is no general cut
in wages by that system. The alleged
reduction is nothing more than an equal
cation of wages which has been con
templated for some time.
"For a long time,' said Mr. Deuel..
ssthe men on some divisions have been
receiving more than they really earned
through the constructive mileage system.
For instance. the engine men on the
Cheyenne run from this CITY, LOG miles
have been credited with 1T miles. and
the men on the Wyoming division. who
ran 1O1 miles, have been paid for 100.
There are several other cases DIFF the same
kind. which, of course, are wrong and
should be stopped. The company only
intends TO adjust these matters and make
a new schedule to which the men can
honestly find no objection"
