speculative accounts, looking to be ulti-
mately sold for profits, is generally be-
!ieved. That the general public has not
thus far been induced to come into the
market and absorb these long lines In
any volume Is Indicated by the disre-
gard OF current news manifested by the
market. The enormous demand for all
grades of dividend and interest-paying
securities not already advanced to pro-
hibitlre figures shows the large amount
of money seeking investment and af-
fords great material support to the
more purely speculative department OF
the market. The plethoric condition OF
the money market and the cheapness
of rates tends to lessen the return on
investment securities also. by raising
the price. Increases In railroad earn
inGs and promises of added profits by
consultations and refundings are dis
counted in proportional rises in prices
soon after being announced. The buy
Ing Of stocks on the New York exchange
for London account has been heavy
during the week, the demand for Amer
leans having been quite active In Lon
don and at other foreign centres. Be-
sides these recorded transactions there
are reports of very heavy blocks OF Sc
curities having passed to the hands of
European holders at private sale from
the hands Of reorganization interests.
In view OF this absorption OF American
securities broad and upward tendency
OF the foreign exchange market during
the week Is somewhat contradictory.
But the easier rates for money here
have been attended by n stiffenlng of
discount rates abroad, and this has nat
ural1y induced tho Withholding of ex-
change In order to draw the higher In
tcrest rate abroad.
Dealings in the bond department OF
the market have continued on an un-
precederted scale during tho week.
The speculative issues have moved Mt
times in sympathy with the reaction

ance aud stubbornness has caused
much damage to the Hawaiians, ap.

ment. Attorney Charles Clark will

until Wednesday morning.
Mr. Kanui is one Of the Hawaiian

A Detective Fined.

j. Xavier, charged with having
opium in possession, was fined $50
aud costs in the District Court this
m 'rning, after pleading guilty to
the charge. The judge did not
listen to Mr.. De Bolt, who appeared
for Xavier, and who asked for
the smallest punishment prescribed
by law.
Mr.. Xavier has been in the employ
OF the police until recently, and his
special duty has been to "spot" the
opium rings, not connected with the
authorities. Mr.. De Bolt made a
touching reference to the numerous
children OF Xavier, aud the sad pre-
dicament in which they would be, in
case heavy sentence was imposed.
The Judge stated for the bene-
fit OF Mr.. De Bolt that the
"children trick" was played out
in our local courts His Honor
quoted case in the Circuit Court,
where the defendant in an Illicit
liquor case was supported" by nine
small children, who were referred
to frequently by the attorney for
the defense in his address to the
jury. The jury did not "bite,"
aud verdict OF guilty was
rendered, and after sentence was
pronounced, the culprit asked per.
mission to send the children, Dor.
rowed for the occasion, to their re-
spective parents.
The magistrate further said that
he had no hesitancy In inficting
heavy fine, as he felt CONVINCED that
Xavier would never he called upon
to "dig up" but that the owner of
the opium, who employed the young
fellow, was right in Court watching
the trial and was well.known to the
police. Mr.. - looked embarrassed d
and l-ft the Court room aud Xavier
paid he fpes.

that it is drifting into an imperial

territories thousands of miles dis

body OF diplomatists to watch over
its interests. European papers on
the other hand, ara constantly
praising the reports OF the Ameri
can consular service and holding
them up for emulation by their own
services. Here then, one would
think, is a splendid foundation for a
diplomatic service in the consular
bureaux by retaining the best men
in the service and promoting them
irrespective of their political affili-
atoms. Mr.. Sewall is noteworthy
example OF such career.
