New York, Dec. 15.-Continued pres
sure by professional dealers against the
market resulted in further disturbance
OF prices and a fair amount of liquidation
The volume OF business was larger than
that Of Monday, but the dealings were
not well distributed. The market moved
with some irregularity, but the main ten
Cency OF prices was toward lower level
and the declines scored were material in
the specialties. The outside interest was
reflected in sales of the railway shares,
resulting, as rule, in fractional losses,
and the feature of the day was a drive
at the Goulds, for which no explanation
hao been received up to the close. OF
the news bearing upon the general situa-
llon, there was not particle, and the
dominating influence upon values was
the continued agitation at Washington
OF the Cuban situation. The impression
in financial circles is that the Cuban res
oiutions will be buried in committee, but
nevertheless leading interests on the bull
side do not display the courage of their
alleged convictions. and the narrowuess

session. Increased offerings OF Union Pa

tober statement, showing 8 decrease OF

weak at general fractional declines IN

losses in the industrials.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-04-17

To the naturalist in the tropics collec
ton OF orchids is never ending source OF
interest. lie cannot help feeling that they
are not only living things, but that they
have faculties not generally credited to
members Of the vegetable kingdom. lie
sees them rejoicing in congenial positions
and shrinking before strong wind or the
burning rays Of a tropical sun. When the
block to which they adhere becomes de
cayed, they show their distaste in an un
mistakable manner by throwing out new
aerial roots, which feel their way to some
better anchorage.
II a drought comes and no water Is given.
the leaves fall, and they lie dormant for
months, to awake and put forth their won
derful flowers when the rains fall Whel,
they can no longer exist under most trying
circumstances, they die very slowly, often
lingering on for years without the sign of 4,
flower. Even when the bud is in an ud
vanced stage change Of place will often
