The Supreme Court has filed a
decision in the case of Charles
Motley and sons VS.. the Kukaiau
Plantation Co., action OF debt for
rent alleged to be due, overriding
plaintiffs exceptions 10 the rul-
ing of Circuit Judge Perry. The land
in question is $40 acres situated in Ha
makua, Hawaii. 1t is held by the
Court, in opposition TO one point of eX-
ception, that the boundaries OF the land
demised are sufficiently certain and
definite and include all the land within
the bounds. The evidence that portions
of it are not suitable for the cultiva-
ton of sugar cane" does not show a
latent ambiguity. Hartwell for plain
tiffs; Kinney K BallOu for defendant.

SToCKS AND RONDs.

New York, May 26.-The movement OF
prices worthy of particular note IN the
stock market was confined to a few
special stocks, as was also large part
Of the activity in the trading. The ma
iority Of the list was somewhat dull and
neglected. This was in part due to the con
Trajectory movement Of the few stokes
that showed pronounced activity and
also to some scepticism over the reported
presence of the Spanish fleet in the har-
Dor of Santiago, and its consequent seal
ing no. There were heavier and very
positive elements of strength in the mar
ket which served to lift prices ut one
time quite materially above last nights
close. The mainstay Of the market was
Rock Island, which rose at one time 21a
points. Late profit taking in this stock
had no small part in the final reaction
IN the market Its early rise was sup
plemented by buying for London account
of the international stocks and by com
mission house buying of the grangers

New York, May 26.-Dry goods are

the trading has been of Il perfunctory
character. Jobbers report no sales Of
