In monetary and stock -brOking cir
about besides the closing of another
deal in Hawaiian Sugar Company's S
stock. This deal has been going on
for some time, but it was only yester-
day that the brokers concerned felt
safe in reporting it on the stock board.
A prominent capitalist who was ap-
preached on the subject by an Adver-
tiser man yesterday said:
This transaction means good deal
to Honolulu in more ways than one.
First, that it brings $45O,OOO of foreign
capital into almost Immediate circula-
ton here, for all of the stock repre-
sented in the 1000 shares sold is owned
by local people. This, in connection
with the opening the the new
bank with half million of dollars to
start with and the payment of the
monthly stock dividends should go far
to relieve the present stringency of the
local money market.
loses the control of the stock. There
are 10000 shares in the corporation
and the previous deal in this stock,
which resulted in the formation of the
Makaweli Sugar Company of San
Francisco, absorbed over 5000. This
added to the 1000 now purchased gives
w. H. Chickering and the San Fran
cisco people interested with him the
clear majority of the stock. 1t is not
likely, however, that there will be any
change in the local agency. You will
remember that for every share of Ha
waiian Sugar Company's stock at 1925
that the Chickering people took to San
Francisco they issued five shares of
the Makawe1i Sugar Company at $50,
thereby making a promoters profit of
$25 per share. Well, the same thing
will be done with the block just pur-
chased, and as fast as this is disposed
of in San Francisco more of the origi-
nal stock will be bought here if it can
be obtained. There are some holders,
of course, who won't sell at the price
now offered-W. G. Irwin for one. He
has about 800 shares and considers the
investment good enough to hold on to.
And there are others who think the
same.
The brokers engaged in the transac-
ton were George Carter as the buyer
and Harry Armitage and Henry Water
house & Co. represented by Robert
Shingle were the sellers. There may
have been others interested, but these
three men got the commissions on the
transaction. The stock sold repre-
sented the holdings of an English syn
dicate represented by Robert Cation
and those of Charles NJ. Cooke, Henry
E. o. White, Gay e Rob-
inson and Brewer & Co. 1 consider
the sale big thing for Honolulu even
if the control goes to the Mainland.
Yes, 1925 was the price paid The
purchasers figuring on netting $25 per
share for placing the new shares in
