FINANCE AND COMMERCE

NEW YORK, June 20.-If the bulls on
stocks looked for any improvement in
business because Of the action of bank
presidents yesterday, they were woe
fully disappointed, for trading at times
to-day approached stagnstion, and, as
for prices, the general run Of the usually
active issues did not vary as much as
point. At the opening the feeling,
II anything, was little more bearish,
the engagement of S2,25o, 600 gold for
export to Europe tomorrow and the
likelihood of shipments reaching IS. .
100000 for the week exerting an un-
favorable influence. The lisuidatio
In the bankrupt stocks also continued
and this helped the bears.

American Sugar was MOST prominent
In the early dealings, falling from 9SM
to 96H The selling was partly duo to
rumOrs that the discriminating duty of
lilo per cent. as recon mended by the
finance committee would be wiped out
later on. The vote in the Senate to day
on sugar matters, however, does not
bear this out Whiskey was weak, de-
Ginning * to 231S. Chicago Gas re-
ceded to 7s4 on the delay in declar-
ing the dividend which was expected
to-day. Railway stocks were weaker,
especially for the bankrupt stocks,
Erie selling down to l2 and Northern
Pacific preferred to 1879. In the after
noon trading the market was some
what firmer, but the changes outside Of
Manhattan were slight
This stock jumped from 114A to 1850
1l6H. The rise was due to decision
by Judge Ingraham permitting the con-
struction Of third track on Ninth avenue.
Union Pacific recovered to 1OE, Chicago

CORRESPONDENCE.
High Rate of Wages in the North
West.

MIR. EDITOR: In your issue of the
DIST inst, under the heading, "Wages
of American Labor" your correspond
ent "T' is in error rs to wages paid
farm labor in Kansas, Minnesota,
and State of Washington. L have been
Ioaning money on farm property III
those States for a number of years,
and came in direct contact with the
farmers thereof, and not infrequently
/ have been compelled to take a ranch
or farm under foreclosure of mortgage
and run it, until it could be sold. The
usual average wages, by the year, has
been S45 per month and board, in
Kansas and Minnesota, while in the
State of Washington 1 am now paying
farm laborers S47.50 per month and
board. And the board they are very
particular about, for they demand
meat and butter three times day.
Most of the laborers i am now en-
ploying are American born-prlncl-
pally from the State of Maine, with
now and then Scandinavian. The
latter / do not find satisfactory, as
they will leave you at any moment
without warning, regardless OF their
contracts.
Durinp harvest time the ruling
wages for day laborerS ranges from
81 so to -. % per day and board, ac-
cording to- the kind OF work done. The
| higher wages are paid TO men capable
| of running the reaper and binder.

soine of the hop fields; but the expert
ment will not be repeated, as they
naturally had TO come from the cities

manded it to save the crop. 1 tried to
introduce Chinese labor on my ranches
in the State of Washington, as from
nv observations and examinations III
California found they would save me
considerable and were more easily
managed than white labor; but the Ia
Dor unions, getting wind of my plans
enioined me from doing so. Hence,

Minister Hatch said he would send
for letter received from the Amerl-
can Minister bearing on this SUBJECT.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
First reading of the act TO provide a
salary for the Deputy Tax Assessor OF
Honolulu.
Mr.. Wilder asked whether there
would be reduction or not.
Mr.. Damon said for the next month
or two ne might receive little more,
but through the year much less.
Mr.. Wilder moved the bill go into
effect July 1st instead of April LIST.
Mr.. Emmeluth thought the pay,
both of collector and deputy, was IN
adequate. The position was RESPONSE.
BILE and the bond heavy. He moved
the deputy be placed at 500 a month.
Minister Damon favored keeping
expenses down, and $1,000 a year
seemed to him fair-as much more
than would be paid in a business mouse
for the same service.
Mr.Tenney moved to amend by pro-
viding such salary as from Time 10
time shall be appropriated.
Mr.. Wilder's amendment was ADOPT
ed and Mr.. Tenny's also.
The bill as amended passed its first
reading.

of Mr.. Young, read the following leu

The Y. VI. G.. a. Hall was crowded
last evening at the lecture of Mrs.
Cans. on 'eThe Rhine and its Leg
ends.u The lecture was delightful
one, and the audience thoroughly en-
loved it, if their applause was any
criterion of their feelings.
The lecture opened with a view of
the great Cologne cathedral, followed
by pictures of the city itself, in which
the now generally used perfume had
its origin. Interior and exterior views
of the great cathedral were shown,
and legends concerning it were related
by the lecturer.
From Cologne the audience was
taken to Bonn, where the great
Beethoven was born. The Seven
Mountains and their legends, and the
Church of Apollinaris, in the town of
Remagen were also shown. This town
is that from which the much-nked
apollinaris water comes.
Further down the river, Linz, An
dernach and Coblentz were shown. AT
the latter place the bridge of boats
connects the town with the fortifica-
tions of Ehrenbreitstein. The aristo-
cratic watering place, Ems, with It's
healing springs that attract $4,000 Wis
itors during July and August OF each
year, was next shown. The Lorelel,
the rock that has Oeen sung of and ia
bled so many times, was pictured ana
the legend told.
After MANY other scenes of historic
interest had been presented, "Fair
Bingen on the Rhine was shown.
Mayence, the birthplace of Gutenberg
the inventor of movable types, Frank
| fort-on- the Main, where Goethe first
saw the light, and where Martin
! Luther lived, were next pictured.
| Pictures of Heidelberg, with its cele-
brated castle and more celebrated uni
versity, at which Bismarck was
educated, with views of the college
| life, especially the dueling, which
| forms so great part of it, We're pre-
| scented. Baden-Baden, one of the
most celebrated of watering places
with it's lovely old castle and its pub
lie buildings, formed most attractive
views. The lecture ended with pic
lures of the Black Forest and its
cities.
After the lecture, Mrs. Cans received
many congratulations for the treat
she had afforded her audience The
lecture will be repeated tomorrow
evening at Kawaiahao Church, III
Hawaiian, w. l.. Wilcox being the
lecturer, aud the same views will he
presented. Another lecture, on 3
different subject, is something tina
the public may look forward to in the
near future.

nrovidipp a strict registration OF All
Chinese now engaged in such trades
and in merchandising, 1T woulo oe
easier TO enforce the provisions Oh the
Act of 1892. ..
But after consideration the COMMIT
tee are inclined to the opinion thaC
the provisions of the Act OF 1S9Z may
he suppIemented in another way ana
add much to its effectiveness, ana tnat
registration could be better accom-
plished by more general ana COM
prehensive system.
The subject of general registration
was considered in the Legislature OF
1892 and Bill was passed when,
however, failed to become law: your
Committee believe that with that Bill
as a basis, a registration law can De
framed which will be of great value,
and recommend that at an early DAY
the subject be taken up and acted
upon.
The Bill which we now ask 10 oe
. allowed to present, provides 1or Ihe
retention of a percentage OF the wages
of Chinese laborers hereafter admitted
to these Islands, to be held by the
Board of Immigration for the beneht
of the laborer until the time comes 1or
him to depart from the country thus
affording a means of Identification:
