Trade-Prices Steady.
On the wholesale streets and Commission
row yesterday the volume of trade more sat
isfactory than that of several days preceding.
Dry goods houses are doing more this week and
prices rule steady in most l:res. Grocers have
had two three days of active trade. Country
roads are good and the retail merchants are sell
ing more goods. The provision market is active
and prices firm. The flour market is dull and
prices easy at quotations. Receipts of fruit are
on the increase, but still not largely in excess
of the demand. Green apples and oranges are
about off the market. Some choice apples are
offered at 81 per barrel. New potatoes weaker
increasing receipts. Home strawberries are
beginning to appear and this has tended to
weaken the price.
The local grain market is active and prices
hardly as firm as last week. but the lower
grades of corn prices are not materially lower.
Oats weak increased offerings. Track bids

TIE INEVITABLE.

The Hawaiian Government will
eventually pay to the Japanese Gov
ernment an indemnity to the Japa-
nese citizens refused landing here.
There can be no doubt in regard
to the question Of right and wrong.
Hawaii through her incompetent
and blum dering officials has been
cornered and the taxpayers will pay
the fiddler Of the Foreign Office.
The loud talk and jingo snorts
from the hirelings who are forced to
support Dole's sbam-republic, will
be of no avail and are rather apt to
hurt than to help the Government.
1t is human to err, but to persist in
the error is beastly. Let us admit
our folly and pay for the experience
which we have derived; to the ex-
perience which shows that small
boys should never play with edged
tools, and that the seating a beggar
on horseback will result in the
death OF the horse.
Instead Of insulting and buster
ing the Japanese the Hawaiian Off
cials should devote all their time to
effecting compromise and in de-
vising ways and means TO raise the
indemnity demanded by the Mi
kado's Government, Let Mr.. Dole
throw up his hands, cry "hewa,"
and ask the taxpayers to "dig." If
he doesn't japan will be justified
in turning up his toes. The inevita-
BILE cannot be avoided.

LOOK INTO THE MATTER.

A public investigation ought to be
made in regard to the recent accident
to train on the Oahu Railroad. Forss
tunately no serious disaster occurred
but the travelling public is entitled
to know whether the road and rails
and switches are safe or not. The
morning paper in referring to the
recent accident states that the
Switch was not thrown sufficiently"
That is simply rot, The switches
used by the Oahu Railroad outside
the yard of the main depot are Of
very antique model but as they work
with "catch" the theory of the
switch not being thrown sufficiently
is absurd. Is it not q fact that the
rails don't meet and that the engine
ran off the track owing.to the con-
dition OF the rails2 We don't offer
any opinion in the matter but we
think the public is entitled to an
explanation. The terrible disaster
on the Kahului road a few years ago
should not be repeated here.

Ten ney. Fitzgerald, eventually will

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1897,
HAWAIIAN SUGAR.

The Advertiser Of this morning
contains an alleged interview with
Mr.. j. b. Atherton, about the future
OF sugar in these islands and the
proposed policy of agents for sugar
estates. Mr.. Atherton is reported
to have said: sour contract with
Spreckels expires December 3lst
this year" The contract or agree.
ment for the sale OF Hawaiian SUI
gars under which Mr.. Atherton and
other sugar factors have been sell
ing their sugars was entered into
with the Western Sugar Refinery
Company, OF San Francisco, in 1892,
and covered sugars grown here in
the years 1893 to 1897 inclusive.
The company named is member
of what is known as the Trust, with
which Mr.. Spreckels is not concern
ed. The whole spirit Of the inter
view with Mr.. Atherton and another
agent is lame attempt to hold Mr..
Claus Spreckels up for condemna-
tion as the bad man who has OPP
pressed the sugar industry OF Hawaii.
Mr.. Atherton is also made to say:
The terms which it is said Spreck-
els will demand for next year are
unreasonable" 1t will be news to
well informed persons that Mr..
Sprsckels is making terms for Ha-
waiian sugar. 1t goes without say
ing that our sugar agents would be
only too glad to renew their present
agreement with the Western Sugar
Refinery Company; but the Trust
has all the sugar it requires for the
West Coast OF America and will not
contract for sugar for delivery on
the East Coast. Hence the neces-
sity for new ARA ngements for mov-
ing and selling the crop of 1898.
Mr.. Spreckels is giving his time and
energies to the development OF the
beet sugar industry in California, as
loyal American citizen, and finds
that Hawaiian sugar stands in the
way of such development. Not to
be thwarted in his new enterprise
he is seeking to have Hawaiian su;
gars pay duty to the United
States, and, unfortunately for Ha-
waii, the imposition Of such a duty
finds favor with the. statesmen Of
America.

Delmar, who is a mining expert. / asked
him what he thought of the Alaskan sto-

same issue of the Sunday morning paper
in which these extraordinary stories from

vertisement of the Northwestern Trans
portauon Company, which seemed. at any
rate, to be promptly on hand to carry any
body ready TO go to the new gold re-
gions."

OIL From Corn.

Corn-oil. a by-product in the manufact-
ure of glucose, is an article we seldom see
mentioned, but one that seems to be of
considerable commercial value. one
plant. the American Glucose Company of
Peoria, H. with a weekly capacity of
over 10000 bushels of corn, has an aver
age output of over 100 barrels Of corn oil
per day.
The Shipping and Commercial List, OF
New York. says of this OIL:
while the production of other vegeta-
BILE oils, such as cottonseed and linseed
oil, in the United States is limited only
by the extent of the existing demand for
home and export and could be twice in
creased should the demand become twice
greater. the production of refined corn oil
Cike that Of any by-product. the demand
for which is greater than the available
supply is regulated by the output Of the
main product. This condition Will continue
to prevail 50 long as no process shall be
invented or devised by which the Indian
maize could be treated directly as an oil
seed, regardless Of the starch or sugar ele-
ment. aud at a profit This has not been
accomplished yet, but il is within the pos
slbilities of the near future. and in such
event the American corn would at once
become the most redoubtable competitor.
