There is no real reason for calling the fig

than was expected. and even a small in
crease in reserves is far better than a
loss. Expectation as to Mondays money
market is very mixed. Many look for a
much lower range of prices at the open

there will be good buying of good securi-

He proposed the health of the queen, and
the chairman toasted "our guests, He
said 1t was a red letter day in the historv
OF Malta. Our American cousins visit was
unprecedented. He extended them a hearty
welcome and congratulated them again on
the task accomplished.
Colonel Smith of the 10Th returned hea
thanks. He said the adage Westward ths
course of empire takes its way was now

WILL BE OUR BANNER YEAR.
Indications as to Our Exports Tn to
June 20

June 30.
February exports are likely to prove the
largest of any February in the history of
our export trade, with the single eXcep-
ton OF that of 1898. The preliminary state
ment OF the exports of breadstuffs, provi-
sions, cotton and mineral oils, issued by the
bureau of statistics, gives the total of those
articles at $55,9S9S 1874, against $40, ,S43, ,SOG in
February, 1897; $o2,114,373 in February,
1896. while with the single exception of
1898 no February shows as large exports
of these articles. The figures for February,
iS9s' are S62oo9o o36, about 1000, 900 greater
man those or the month Just ended.
This slight reduction in February 1899
as compared with the corresponding month
OF 1898 does not indicate an actual reduc-
lion IN exports, but merely slightly lower
price 1or some Of the leading articles ex-
ported. Wheat exports for instance in
Fepruary 1889, are nearly 100000 bush
ers' against 100000 bushels in the corre-
spohdlng month of 1898, while the value is
given at 81 $780, 800, against Sc 434 OPS in the
corresponding month of last year.
The exports of wheat in the eight months
ending n ing with February, 1899, amount to
I1o'So''ooo pushe's, against 101 425 562 bush
, eis IN the corresponding eight months of
last year, while the value is but SS1 .TI3 O49
against S13 ,9s25 566 in the corresponding
months of last year
ending e Exports HS3b OF corn in the eight months
ISs bushels. against 120, 557, 1853 BUSH
eis IN the corresponding eight months of
last year, a slight reduction in quantity.
thougn the value of the corn exports for
me me eisht months ending with February,
1898 is S43,516.770 against si1 O96 1856 for
me slightly larger quantity exported in
the corresponding eight months of 1893.
Wniie the wheat producers are not OBJ
tanning as satisfactory prices for their
products as they did at this time last year.
IN the cotton growers are more fortunate
me February exports of cotton. which
amounted TO 2S3. 3.412 706 pounds, were val
ued at S1l, ,326, ,4G3, while 1868, SIS 500 pouads
exported in February of last year were
valued at but s21,7G1, ,167, the average ex-
port price last year being below 6 cents
per pound while this year 1t is consider
ably above cents.
The reduction in prices of agricultural
products is plainly apparent in the relative
proportion of the total exports which they
form in the seven monthss ending with
January. During that period they formed
but 69.02 per cent of the total exports. while
in the corresponding nlontflH of last year
they We're 71.SS per cent ofsEthe total ex-
ports. Manufacturers make a very salts
factory showing, their percentases of the
total exports being 2474 percent Z against
q 90 per cent in the corresponding months
of last year.

WEDNESDAY, JULY ~, 1899.

A step towards Americanizing the
Philippines is the introduction of Eng
lish into the school curriculum. At the
outset one hour a day is to be devoted
to the study of that language. OF
course it will be an exotic and the hour
a day will not prove a very brilliant
success, especially as it will be handled
in a large measure by people who have
not had the practical experience of in
structing a people, not an individual,
an what is to them a foreign language
There is no doubt that some Of our
teachers on these Islands would be in
valuable on the Philippines as organi-
zers, for in this matter of instructing
in practical English for the purposes
of ready conversation, the teacher of
experience in the Hawaiian schools, is
easily ahead of the rest of the world. 1t

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-07-12

The necessity of having a represen-
tative in Washington during the COM
ing session was pointed out in these
columns on March 18th under the cap
ton Make Preparations" and has been
mentioned since on several occasions.
Senator Clarke of Wyoming when he
was here dwelt especially on the neces-
sity of representation. He argued that
il was vital that there should be sew
eral representatives from Hawaii He
said that from Wyoming many of the
principal men went to Washington to
watch over the interests of the State,
and that the work of the unpaid men
was even more valuable than that of the
paid men. When it is a question of
building up a commonwealth, all those
whose interests lie in improving the
commonwealth should take hand in
its advancement. In a republic it is not
the government that builds up the COM
monwealth, but it is the people that
make the government.
