SUMMARY
ON 'CHANGE
Business Transacted and Prices Paid at HON G
and Abroad

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE course of the
stock market today clearly reflected the
intervention of aggressive bull leadership
and the temper at the close of business
much more cheerful than for some time
past. This theory was borne out by the
failure of the determined efforts made by
the bears to emphasize several unfavora-
BILE developments including the suspension
of the Murray Hill bank, a disappointing
exhibit by the st. Paul for the first week,
recurrence of stiff money rates and unsat-
isfactory government crop statistics.
Business was on fairly large scale with
sugar and St. Paul leading and higher but
the tendency toward Improvement was
soon checked by vigorous drive by the
bears announcement of the suspension of
the Murray Hill bank.

something over twenty years ago a New

bay his fleet schooner laden with bananas,

became too important longer to depend upon
the uncertain winds, and steamers replaced
the schooners. Bananas were offered in
Quantities greater than our Yankee mari
ner, with his limited means, could handle,
and company was formed in 1877 with a
capital of 100000 adm two steamers, and
the business of Systematically growing the
banana for export to the United States
commenced. From such small beginnings
sprang the American company which now
practically controls the fruit export trade
OF Jamaica. Its present capital is $500 600
and it hps a surplus of $1,000, 900 and en-
ploys twelve steamers. 1t ships to the
United States every year about 1900, 000
punches of bananas, besides upwards of
100000 cocoanuts, and quantities of pim-
epto (allspice), coffee. cocoa and early veg
etables. 1t employs nearly 2C00 men. More
than 600 mules are daily in harness engaged
in drawing to ports of shipment its varied
products. 1t owns and controls more than
twenty estates. comprising nearly 1000
acres. Free schools are provided for the

LAW.

The condition which confronts
the people of Caldwell with re-
spect to the legal status of the
incorporation, affords a practical
example of the trouble which is
often brought on individuals as
well as communities by failing to
comply strictly with legal require
ments. 1t is too often the case
that people are apt to consider all
law as a mere labyrinth of tech
nicafities or useless tissue of red
tape, and they never discover the
error until they have become in
volved in difficulties from which
they are unable to extricate them
selves. Men are apt, knowing
the reCtitude of their intentions,
to proceed to the accomplishment
of objects by such means as seem
to them the most direct, without
regard to the method of proceed
ure provided by law. They rea-
son that the end being worthy, the
means of attaining it is matter
of utter Indifference. This reas-
oning would be just and conclus-
i've if all men were honest and all
objects sought to be accomplished
worthy. But such, unfortunate
ly, is not the case; and the loose
and irregular methods of strictly
conscientious men frequently es-
tabhsh precedents which enable
dishonest persons to accomplish
dishonest purposes. A safe rule,
especially for the guidance of
public officers who hold in trust
the well-being of society, is to
comply strictly with the letter of
the law as well as its spirit, be-
cause the best way to kill bad
law is to enforce it; and, as a
general rule, when a provision of
