THE COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS.
RETAIL TRADE LIGHTENED But
ALL ELSE PROSPEROUS.
Greatest Amount Of Building Going
On in the History of
the City.

The semi-monthly circular of the
Hawaiian Mercantile Agency, dated
August 1st, shows the following
changes and improvements in business
Midsummer heat has somewhat
lightened retail trade, yet even the
falling off from previous months shows
large balance in favor of the presen.
,ontrasted with past year. All lines OF
industry are as seasonabley active as
could be anticipated. Indications point
o extraordinary activity after the
present prosperous lull, and retailers
will be crowded with business if tbs
anticipated rush of troops en- route to
China takes place. Building is inces-
SAINT. More permits are issued than At
any previous time in our history. Ii
nay be truthfully said that not one
single line of business in our Islands
shows weakness in volume of trade.
Sugar has again advanced and bot
-oms are not idle for our export trade.
Naval Row is not congested.
No particular industry needs spe-
cial mention, and in our investigations
,or this report We have not found one
complaining voice. Real estate main
aims its status. Interest has been
covered as well as exchange rates, and
money is easier on the market. A pc
;uliar and noticeable fact, due from our
position doubtless, is that we do not
EEL the trade influences usual to a
residential campaign year.
