BIG DEMAND NOW FOR SUGAR
PROPERTIES.
Marked Rise in Oahu Plantation,
Broker Falk Predicts Increased Re
vival After First of the Year.

THE local stock market is in quite
healthy condition at the present
time" said Charles j. Falk the broker
this morning, and with the first of
the year l look for a marked improve
ment. There has been a slight reaction
within the last few days but as this
was proceeded by a general rise in
stocks II has not been productive of
any baQ, effects, The revival and aC-
tivity in stocks began about a week
before election and since then there
has been a steady demand especially
for sugar stock. The most marked rise
was that of Oahu plantation which
jumped from 1421a to IT'S. This has re-
acted somewhat however and is now
down to 165.
"Waialua rose to 126 and dropped to
123 and then reCeeded as low as 11615 in
two days but it is now at firm at 1171R
to 11S. This stock seems to be the fav-
orite and will l believe eventually equal
| Oahu in value. l anticipate that Eva
will have to pay one big dividend or
else increase the regular dividends for

| in sight, for both this and next years
crops. Pioneer is low In fact all
of the plantations are selling below
what they are really worth but this is
due to the difficulty in receiving sup
| port from the banks.
There i~ now strong demand for
| stocks and there are many people who
are anxious to invest in them but owing
| to the financial conditions here they
are unable to do so for the present The
cause for this is that the business is
conducted upon too limited currency
! We need more actual money, and more
banks here The circulating medium
ought to be increased four times its
present amount. None of the banks
are, 1 think, sufficiently capitalized for

they do not feel warranted in many in

who had been planning to borrow mo-
ney to purchase stocks have to defer
their investments. Nobody seems de-
sirous of importing money on account
of the cost, evidently preferring tc
leave their cash credits with Sar
Francisco agents, to bringing the mo-
ney here where it. could be used

ABOUT NICARAGUA CANAL

NEW YORK, November Ex-senator
John T. Morgan of Alabama is quoted
in a Tribune special from Washington
as saying in an interview about the
Nicaragua canal project: II can see no
reason why the canal measure should
not go through this session. Every
Senator who has thus far returned to
Washington has expressed his willing
ness and determination to vote for it,,
and l have no doubt that a large ma
jority of the Senate will vote for the
bill when the time arrives. The trouble
has been, and is likely to be, in secur-
in" permission to consider the bill.
When a vote is taken a great majority
will vote in it's favor. l am in favor
of the ratification of the HayPaunce-
fote treaty, and l think this treaty will
be disposed of favorably."
WASHINGTON, November 26.-The
United States will retain possession of

Lying Immediately south of the west
ern end of Cuba, it commands the wes-
tern or Yucatan entrance to the gull
and forms an important outpost for the
defense of the Nicaraguan canal.

ABsORBs PROPERTY OF PEOPLES
ICE COMPANY.
Fight of Stockholders Against the Deal
Was Not Strong Enough-New Stock
to be Issued at once

By a vote considerably over a ma
jority of the stock the Hawaiian Elec-
trio Company today approved a former
resolution to buy out the business and
good will of the Peoples Ice Company
for $4,000 of the paid up stock of the
former corporation. There was stout
opposition to the deal but the odds
in favor of it We're too heavy for it's
opponents. All that now remains is for
the officers to issue the new stock and
accept the transfer as of January 1,
1901
The meeting was held in the office of
the Hawaiian Investment Company at
1O:30 o'clock. President f. w. Macfar-
lane presided and w. l.. Hopper was in
in the secretary's chair. Present were:
j. A. McCandless, l.. l.. McCandless,
Il. A. Isenberg, August Dreier, Cod
frey Brown, w. +. Allen, w. o. At
water, H. A. Parmalee, p. c. Jones and
e. S. Cunha.
Mr. Macfarlane stated the objects OF
the meeting. 1t was to consider a re-
solution presented at the last meeting
looking to the purchase of the Peoples
Ice Company's property by the Hawai-
ian Electric for $4,000 in paid up
stock. The resolution was read.
Godfrey Brown moved that the votes
be recorded. He had understood that
this matter would likely go into the
courts and it would be well to know
Just who opposed the deal President
MaCfarlane oVerruled the suggestion on
the ground that there was no provision
in the bylaws for polling the meeting.
After more or less discussion it was
agreed to record in the minutes the
names of the persons and the number
of shares against the deal.
j. a. McCandless read the resolution
to purchase the Peoples Ice Company
and increasing the capital stock of the
Hawaiian Electric Company from $780,
! 600 to $425, 900. w. +. Allen seconded.
| On vote POOL shares We're recorded in
! favor of the resolution and 9S7 against
| it. Those voting against it were: God
| frey Brown, personal and by proxy
| 6iS shares; August Dreier, 3l7 shares;
| H. A. Parmalee, % shares. There were
29SS shares out of $500 present or rep
resented in the meeting.
Asked if there was any protest
| against the vote Mr.. Brown replied
| that there was none. The majority had
! won.
| j. A. McCandless offered a resolution
authorizing the officers of the Hawai-
ian Electric Company to proceed to
issue the new stock in accordance with
l the resolution and to take over tEe
property of the Peoples Ice Company
as of January l. This carried. Godfrey
| Brown and Mr.. Dreier alone voting

NEW YORK, November 27.-A cable
to the Sun from Peking says: Reports
received here from Singan Flu are
again encouraging. All are to the effect
that the Empress Dowager is at last
REALIZING the seriousness of the situa-
tion and is becoming frightened. These
advices are believed to be reliable.
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching,
the Chinese Peace Commissioners, have
for q long time been between two fires.
1t was to their interest to impress the
Empress Dowager with the seriousness
of the situation, while at the same
time they strove to obtain a modifi-
cation of The demands of the powers
Chinese official adViceS are to the effect
that they send many notes to the court,
and that lately their information was
calculated to frighten the Empress
'Dowager.
Among other things they said the
powers were angry because of the con-
tinued absence of the court from Pc
king and were discussing the question
of upsetting the present dynasty and
sesta blishing a new one. They also IN
formed her majesty that the German
and French Admirals had visited the
Viceroy of Nankin and demanded why
he was sending tribute to Singan-Fu.
The Admirals informed the Viceroy
that this must stop and furthermore
they had the Viceroy telegraph to the
same erect. AuNlCeS lTOul lilG Setiilc
official source are to the effect that
the Empress Dowager is now willing
to behead Tung Flu Hsiang and per-
haDs two others and to Danish forever
the others whose punishment is de-
manded.
1t is reported from Tien Tsin that
France has grabbed territory there
three times as large as the present con-
cession. They have posted a notice OF
permanent jurisdiction, and declare
that all transfers of property within the
seized area since June 9th are Illegal
The Americans have complained
against the seizure and Minister Con-
ger is investigating the matter. The
grab is eimilar to that recently made by
Russia, and is a gross violation of the
treaties with China.
Some idea of the bill for individual
damages that will be presented to Chine
may be gathered from the claims now
being filed at the legations. The claim!
of the Americans already reach the
: approximate SUM of $780, 900. This is thu
amount asked for by thirty claimants
nearly all of whom are missionaries. o
cour-- if the claims are accurate it will
be seen that prior to the siege of Pekin,
the missionary was not badly off, so ia
as this worlds goods are concerned
Claims are still being filed.

THE QUARANTINE REGULATIONS
THERE CURTAILED.
Vessels From Orient Will Not be I'm
necessarily Quarantined-No Evil
dences of Plague in San Francisco.

According to DR.. w. L. Chapman,
the physician of the DOric, there is
practically no plague in San Francisco.
80 far as l have been able to learn
there is practically no plague there"
he said this morning. "The city SEEM
ed to be going ahead as usual and not
the slightest apprehension seems to be
felt any where regarding it. The pa
pers say nothing of the disease and l
doubt if it exists although there may
be an occasional case once in while
"As a mater of fact about the only
case which has occurred there recently
was that of a trained nurse at the hos
pital who contracted the disease and
died of it. The autopsy developed the
fact that the woman had the plague.
Nothing since then has been reported
so far as 1 have heard
while the incoming vessels from the
Orient are subjected to the same rigor-
Gus inspection as formerly they are
not to be detained in quarantine so
long as before. The reason for this is
the presence of DIR. Kerr at Hongkong
to represent the Marine service. He
gives a vessel papers stating that the
passengers, crew, baggage and cargo
have all be properly fumigated and are
free from danger of any infectious dis
eases.
1--WE took the doctor down with us on
our last trip and ours was the first
vessel to enjoy the new rule. We
reached Fort Point, San Francisco Bay
about o'clock in the morning and by
1870 were up at the dock being de-
tanned about four hours and a half.
While this is something of delay it
is nothing compared to the former re-
gulations which kept us "a hours in
quarantine The Nippon Maru which
came in the same morning that we
sailed had a similar experience to ours
being detained not over five hours
DR.. Kerr is doing excellent service al
the China station but he ought to have
three or four more men to help him.
