finest imported cheeses of every make.
Frontage de brie, kronehaise and

sary for Christmas and cannot be
made at home as cheap as we sell

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light Safe nothing could
be safer \ few days ago a prominent gem
teman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and |
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and | take no more risks
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

A TRUE HONOLULU BOY

Hawaiian boys have eNcelled in
and now comes the news that one of
lIavaii's sons is making a reputation
for himself and his native country
among the bicyclsts of the world.
His name is h. Z. Thompson and his
present home is in Philadelphia. He
was born in Honolulu but was taken
to the States with his parents when
but mere lad He had always been
loyal to his native land and hopes
some day to return to it, if only 70

The November issue of the Referee
the great American wheel journal,
contains the following account Of
him:
"E. p. Thompson is one of the most
popular of Philadelphia professionals.
He is a member of the Pennsylvania
Wheelmen's racing team and has car
ried the purple and orange of that or
ganization to the fore in many Il hard
fought trac race. Turkey as he Is
always called, was born in the Sand

the Hawaiian colors in his belt. 1t
must not be imagined from his nick
name that Turkey is at his best only
in cold weather. when the racing sea.
son is over. Not at all; he is a tough
customer at all times, and is never sc
badly cooked that he can't let out +
link or two in the final fight to the
finish. AS Thompson is but twenty
one years of age, and is built on the
lines of the great and only thinner

Dry Goods Market.

New York, Nov. 16.-The week in the dry
goods market opens with but a moderate
attendance of out-of-town buyers and a
quiet spot market in all departments Bus
mess arising from orders through the mails
has, however, been up to recent average in
both staple cottonS and prints and other
cotton dress fabrics. Cotton goods agents
have today been reported the results for
the last week, and these show that although
buyers were almost uniformly conservative
in their operations, their aggregate pur-
chases have made up an exceedingly good
total. The course of the market for raw
material and the condition Of the print cloth
market have neither been favorable or I'M
favorable, but they have not affected the
tone here. In the wooden goods department
conditions are unchanged, quiet business
passing at previous prices.

Chicago Change.


Chicago. Nov. 16-The wheat market was
in the bears hands. Within fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes of the close today when the
bulls took turn and hoisted prices lss from rom
the inside, but failed to get them as high
as they were at the close on Saturday. Ev-
erything in the way of news up until the
time the squirt took place brought gratif1ca-
ton to short" sellers. Just before the
opening the fact that Liverpools opening
cables quoted unchanged prices steadied the
curb, but when regular trading began there
was steady selling movement inaugurated
and prices sank under the pressure Later
the depression became more pronounced on
an increase in the visible supply OF l,0o5,VO0
bushels. The bulge which came at the close
was due to reported damage to the Argen.
tine crop and to further sales Of cash wheat
for shipment to Australia. December wheat
opened from 70 to 7S1kc, declined to 1I1sc,
closing at 7SAc-s4c under Saturday Cash
wheat was weak and 1411zc lower.
1t was hard to find bull on corn, although
owing to light receipts and to decrease IN
the visible supply of 1,09S.000 bushels prices
did not slump as badly as might nave peen
ton which existed in wheat. The trade IN
the market was not characterized by any
particular feature May corn opened at
2S3sc sold between 2S1hc and 2S1sc, closing at
.2812 a2SsSc-a shade Under Saturday. Cash
corn was weak and A@1ac lower.
Oats were a trif1e weaker than corn, Dut
not as weak as wheat during the session,
but approaching the close came more INTO
line with the former. May oats closed un-
changed from Saturday. Cash oats were
easy to nc per bushel lower.
Observation-Disclosures suffered from tne el-
feet of too many hogs: The market at the
yard was 10c lower and traders in provis1l00iLs
considered that a selling inducement. Inc
talk in the pit was very bearish ana the
uary pork closed 10d12lac lower; January
lard 121sc lower, and January rios SQf1sc

Cotton Letter.

|, New York, Nov 16.-Under the influence Of
n lower Liverpool and astonshngly large
receipts both at the ports and interior points
cotton had further break today. The
liquidation of long contracts continued
Throughout the day. January opened at
I'll, qplckly declined to 7.60, rallied to 7.67
and after fiuctuating between the two last
named prices closed at 76iQ765, with the
long quiet. If receipts continue on any
thing like the volume indicated In today's
advices. we fear that prices will go lower
But we can hardly believe that sharp drop
in the movement can be long postponed.
The crop estimate of So 900 bales issued by
Latham, Alexander & Co. today was a
crumb of comfort to the bulls. We think
their figures about right and IL so people
who are selling cotton at cents will, before
long, rue their rashness.
