BTRTHS-24-

The number of births reported for the
month of April IN the district of Homo
lulu was twenty-four. The number of
deaths was tWeuty-four. According to
the last census figures, the total popula-
ton was 1896, and is is probably 49,
600 by this time. a population of this
size only having twenty-four births in
a month is absolutely absurd and the
officials at the Board of Health acknow-
ledge that the figures are utterly I'M
reliable.
As far as the death rate is concerned
We are now getting accurate figures,
because the Board is very particular
about issuing the burial certificates,
without which no corpse can be buried.
Moreover where the death has occurred
without physician in attendance there
is much more thorough investigation
than there used to be, and we do know
from what causes our people die. We
no longer have the entry unknown"
made in the official report. That is a
disgrace of the past. Yet it is but two
years since that was accepted as on
explain
rather not explain any where from half
dozen to a dozen deaths per month.
1t is good to mark Improvement, but
we want improvement all along the
line, and we certainly need improve
ment in the matter Of reporting births.
DR.. Pratt, the chief executive officer of
the Board, feels as strongly as the Star
does upon this point. He complains
that the physicians who attended birth
cases do not report them, and claims
that if they did much more accurate
statistics could be obtained. But many
births take place among the poorer
classes where no physician is called in,
the services Of midwife being consid-

The recovery of Gainsboroughs cele-
brated portrait of the Duchess of De-
vonshire is a very romance of art. The
picture was cut out of the frame in
Agnew's gallery, London, over quar-
ter of a century ago. The thieves found
themselves unable to sell their prize
and just recently THROUGH Pinkerton' s
agency, a descendent of Agnew has
been fortunate to repurchase the pic
ture. 1t cost him $4,000 in cash, and
of course, there were heavy expenses.
The picture was transferred to its own
err at the auditorium hotel Chicago. A
picture of Toby Rosenthal was stolen
in similar way, shortly after the
Gainsborouoh was taken. Whether it
was ever recovered the writer is I'M
certain. The picture was a celebrated
one, founded on a line in Tennyson's
Elaine THE dead steered by the
dumb" vas used as a frontispiece
to one of the edition of Tennyson's
poems.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

NV York, Oct. 9.-The same doubt and
hesitation regarding the future course
Of prices was reflected in today's stock
market as in yesterdays. Speculation was
listless and apathetic and the sentiment
OF the small traders whose operations
made up the market underwent many
variations. Few active stocks show
net change Of as much as a point, even
where the days range was considerable.
The disposition was to close up contracts
both on the long and the short side until
the future course of prices outlines itself
more generally. The annual report OF
Brooklyn Transit, which was published
after the closing of the market last
night was construed unfavorably In all
the current comment, especially in the
disclosure that the treasury bonds had
been sold during the year. Yet the stock
promptly advanced and resisted an at
tempt on the part of the professional
| traders to depress the price. The stock
| advanced at one time 21a, showing the
most conspicuous strength in the market.
| The increase in the Atchison dividend
| rate, although confidently predicted. in
| some quarters. had been denied with
equal confidence in other. In fact the
| decision seemed to have been discussed
| and finally decided in the meeting itself
of the directors. The attempt to ad
| vance the stock on the announcement
!; proved abortive, the extreme rise over
| last night reaching less than point and
| the net gain only a. The doubt over the
predicted advance was due to the fact
| Of the shortage in the corn crop Some
| of the other southwestern railroads were
offered down sharply as though to en-
III VT Thn ncti fa of tha
years wheat crop by an agricultural Pc
riodical, placing it at record figure and
| at 100 coo, OGO bushels for Kansas alone,
was an opportune Offset to this conten-
ton. The election of an additional
| Standard Oil representative to the Union
Pacific board of directors was verifi-
cation of another bull prediction. But
| the bull party hesitated to take up the
! speculation for an advance owing to the
| danger that money flurries may still IN
| tervene before the interior movement OF
| currency terminates. Sterling exchange
was notably strong today on an active
| demand, demand sterling fairly touching
| 4Sc. This is more than q cent in the
| pound sterling above the gold import
point. Sugar and Amalgamated Copper,
which continued active, drifted rather un-
] certainly but with rather firm under
! tone. Norfolk and Western was bid up
| nearly two points at one time on the
| assumption that recent accumulation OF
| the stock has been for account Of Penn
| sylvania interests
| There was sharp break in Wabash
debenture bonds. The market otherwise
was rather dull and irregular. Total
| sales (par value) $3.50 900.

(By the Associated Press.)

New York. Oct. 9.-Buyers have been in
fair attendance but have not operated to
any extent in staple cOttons. Brown
bleached and coarse colored goods quiet
but firm. Some good orders for staple
prints coming forward. Print cloths firm
but quiet. Mems wear woolens and wor-
stads dull and unchanged. Wooden dress
goods in fair demand for staples, fancies
neglected.
COTTON.
New York, Oct 9-The market for cot :
ton futures opened firm at an advance
of five to six points on active covering
and scattering support from abroad the
South, Wall Street and room bulls. The
opening figures were nearly top for the
day, as, after advancing 2 to 8 points
further on continued general buying, the
market simmered down and became list
less, prices sinking gradually despite the
bullish influence en- every hand. The
public seemed thoroughly Indifferent to
the action of the market either way.
Initial advices from Liverpool told of a
firm market abroad with spot demand still
very large at full prices. Private cables
reported Manchester as strong on broad
ening demand for goods and scarcity of
spot supplies. AS for port receipts, the
movement was barely over half of that
for the same day year ago. sharp
drop in temperature in the northwest, be-
tween 16 and 20 degrees. gave rise to fears
of cold snap reaching down into the
cotton belt in the near future. By mid
day the early advance had been sup
planted by net decline of to points.
Business dragged all the afternoon and
in the last hour the room sold out it's
long cotton and went short freely closing
the market barely steady with prices net
3 to points lower. Clearances for export
were again large, but England did not
take its share, even though Liverpool
stocks were the lowest CT recent years,
excepting last year when prices were 21s
cents above the present basis.
