fortnight Just passed shows an i'm
proved condition OF Affairs over this
time last year The Hawaiian Brad
street gives the following resume OF
the business activity OF the Islands
since It's last issue.
COMMERCIAL
Business for the past months has
been 50 universally good that just now
some of our merchants are inclined 70
feel a sudden drop. overlooking the
seasons necessary sIackness. The COM
plieations in the far East have given
advanced prices along certain lines
notably canned meats, feed stuffs and
the like, and there is no doubt but
that prices will go higher in all gener-
al commissary lines il the worst comes,
as feared.
Oyer-speculations and deals in as
sessable stock by those unable TO in
dulge have caused tendency towards
tightness in money matters Interest
rates show light rises and applications
for loans are more numerous.
The furry in building seems les
sened, yet many new structures are 60
ing up and dullness is by no means
apparent
The rise in sugar has come to an end
and good prices prevail.

and is indicated for the future.
