ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE
STEADYING INFLUENCE is NOW
FELT.
Eva Receivers Somewhat in Price
Ookala and Oahu Range a Little
Lower-The Financial Conditions.

The steadying influence of the
Stock Exchange is already being felt.
1t is proving what its projectors said
it would, an exact barometer of mar
ket conditions.
Eva, which for some days has been
showing a downward tendency, has
recovered. There were plenty OF Ia
kers at 240. and the price strengthen
ed, 242Ha being the lowest price asked.
There were no sales of it on the board
however. Oahu assessable which has
been considerably higher was quoted
today at 100 asked and 117R bid
Ookala was the only stock dealt in
on the board this morning. Forty-five
shares changed hands at 100. There
were two blocks sold at this figure,
one of 25 shares and the other of 90
This is a recession from the figures at
which the stock has been held and at
which sales have been currently re-
ported.
The prices asked for other stocks
were American Sugar paid up, 120;
Hawaiian Sugar Company, 175; Homo
mu, 335; Honokaa, 400; Kahuku, $50;
Oahu, paid up, $50; Paia Plantation,
$50; Pepeekeo. 215; Pioneer Mill, 400;
Waimanalo, 1917; Inter Island, 145;
Mutual Telephone, IA.
The general talk on the exchange
was not that prices were receding be-
cause of any lack of confidence, but
because the banks are not loaning
money on stocks as freely as they
were, which circumscribes buyers,
while the few blocks of stock that
have to be sold suffer from this lack
of ready capital.
AS one broker put it: eff some
stocks have gone down, the Stock EX-
change informs the public and inves-
tors just how much. Without the eX-
change the public would not know the
exact state of the market"
Daily meetings will be held herear-
ter 1t is understood that the rooms
known as the Hawaiian Lodge quar-
ters, at the corner of Fort and Queen
streets, have been secured as perma-
nent exchange rooms.
