Exciting Apprehension

New York, March Ej-Spot business
has been dull under bad weather in
fluences and mail orders barely up to
the recent average. There has been no
material change in the tone of the mar
ket for staple cottons. the demand be-
cloths are inactive and unchanged and
in prints and ginghams the market is
quiet. Mapped fabrics are irregular
Silks steady with moderate demand.
COTTON.
New York. March 26.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at decline of two
points to an advance of six points. This
was not as good as expected. as the trade
looked for an advance of from eight to
ten points. The first call was weighted
down by an accumulation of selling or
ders over night. This pressure out of
the way, the market gradually worked up
to a level of from to II points above
the closing of the previous day. The
main support of the market was cover
ing, although there was at times some
pretty good buying for investment ac-
count attracted by the comparatively low
prices and a belief that the market has
been oversold. The more active positions
were May, which sold from no to 7.S1,
July at from 7.73 to 1872, and October
at from III to 7.2S. The close was quiet
at a net advance of from seven to four
teen points. In making new ventures
for the long side of the account prefer
ence was given to the winter and more
remote positions on the ground that they
had been subject to undue pressure.
There was at no time, however, any
great courage on the part Of the Lun
contingent, as reports from spinning dis
tricts in this country and from the Con-
tinent and Great Britain remained as poor
as ever with the recent phases of the
Far East question. again creating mis-
givings as to the volume of Oriental AMI
European trade in cotton goods.

lie resorts. Russia imported more
champagne and more fine liquors
last year than any country in the
world and we doubt that it was sold
from disiilleries and that the man

membered to 20 back to the dis

The Gothenburg system has had
great result in Sweden, says our
numerous temperance lecturers, and
yet Sweden has the distinction of
being second on the list as con-
sumer Of spirtuous liquors and
third on the list in the matter Of
suicides, OF the countries ia Europe.
Hawaii is very small consumer of
liquor in proportion to her popula-
tion. or course the crenks who
wish to revolutionize the liquor
traffic will claim that the reason is
that the Chinese who form large
part OF our population do not drink
liquor to any extent, but as an offset
we remind them that Honolulu dur
ing the past few years has bscome a
prominent sea port and garrison
town and that our numerous jap
anese population by no means can
be classed among the temperance
people.
No harm will be done, however,
by introducing the bill If it is un-
derstood that no attempt will be
made to rush it through at this scs-
sion. If it is referred to commit
tee to report at the meeting Of the
next Legislature, we'll and good.
The issue will then be laid before
the people and there will be ample
OF time for each voter to improve
his 'uninformed mind and immature
Judgment" before he gives his
answer at the polls.
1t should be remembered that
there are other interests involved in
the question than those of the
liquor dealers. The interests of our
hotels and owners of ships should
be considered. We are hearing GO
much about tourist travelling and
the wealth there is in store for the
territory if tourists are induced to
visit our lovely land. How maay
tourists would visit Hawaii if We
had the Dispensary Law here?
What kind of hotels would we have
when no wines could be- served to
the guests who probably during
their whole life had been accustom-
ed to the bottle at the tablet We
know that there is tendency to
rush the proposed bill through the
coming session, and we urge every
Hawaiian voter, who does not wish
to be compared to a South Carolina
niger or Russian peasant to in
struct-thei representatives to vote
against q bill until the country has
had its say. If the majority at the
next election endorses the bill, let it
become law. 1t will become so
then after due deliberation and
after the voters have had a fair
chance to consider the merits of the
bill. To push it through at this
session would establish an unfair,
unjust and dishonest precedent.

AN OBNOXIOUS BILL.

1t is refreshing indeed to read the
following from an editorial in the
"liberal" Republican in its frantic
defense OF bill to which the voters
at large undoubtedly are opposed:
There are people to be found in
every community who fuss, fume
and foam at the mouth whenever
reform of any sort whatever is sug-
gested. This class as rule do not
investigate, do not study, do not
think; they coptenG to- deny, to as
sent and to protest. The fact that
the thing suggested is something
new" "not what We haye been used
to" ""a now tangled idea," is to their
uniformed minds aud immature
judgment sufficient to condemn it.

Russian Methods Of Trading.

Despite the size of the gathering at

very little business seems in course Of

latter impression. When the Russian
