MARKET
Was Highly Professional and Under Active
Manipulation.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
New York, Aphil 13.-Today's stock
market was highly professional AMI
under active manipulation all through
the session. Brokers who have been
active for the bull leaders of specula-
ton throughout the recent movement
were the largest buyers of stocks.
their operations being especially con-
spicious in Rock Island, Sugar and the
Atchisons Large buying orders in the
market at the opening caused general
advances, in which Rock Island. Chic
ago Terminal Transfer stocks, Peoples
Gas and Consolidated Gas were leaders.
The buying was in anticipation of fa-
vorable bank statement. The strength
was very general in the railroad list,
Burlington and Northern Pacific both
moving upwards and United States
Steel stocks recovered from yesterdays
depression. Amalgamated Copper was
active and strong and Sugar moved up
2E points and Colorado Fuel an ex-
treme points.
There was a good deal of selling on
the advance and considerable reaction
| occurred when the bank statement ap-
peared. Then came the upward move
ment. Just before the close of the ses-
sion there was an active selling move
ment to take profits on the advance.
The closing was irregular and below
the best all around.
Bonds were irregular, new As and old

about four cents for spot Two ele-
ments of strength appeared to check
the decline and caused some recoveries.
Corn received better support by man
ipulation and lighter interior receipts.
The large increase in nog packing at
the west as compared with last years
figures probably accounts for the first
sign of pronounced weakness in pork
products.
Large producers of foot wear in New
England are still doing good business
with sufficient orders to insure full
time for a month or more.
Textile fabrics are in better position
although the improvement is slight
and confined to few special lines. AZ
eastern wool markets manufacturers
have taken sufficient new material of
late to indicate better orders for goods,
and news from the west suggests that
ranch owners are going to hold for
better prices than now prevail. In the
cotton goods division there has been
more buying for China, while the
spring dry goods openings make en-
couraging exhibits. Raw material
lost most of last weeks gain. In silk
goods more activity is reported and
another trihing advance occurred in
raw material.
Failures for the week were 203 in the
United States against 1913 last year and
"a in Canada against Al last year.

Going a Fishing.

Did you ever go fishing
When but a country lad?
Twas just the incest spot of fun
A boy ever had.
With delight your bosom tingling,
With your footsteps dancing light,
Gayly you start off fishing,
In the sunshine warm and bright.
You've no rod of jointed bamboo,
Nor woven silken line,
But just tough hickory pole,
With bit of fishing twine.
No fancy reel adorns your pole.
No tempting flies of gaudy hue,
But just nice fat fishing worm
For bait, was good enough for you.
When first you felt glorious "nibble,
Your thoughts were simply grand,
You jerked with muscle.
To pull whale out on land.
Yes, those were days delightful,
Days when we went a fishing,
Oh, that they would come again
Is what we are devoutly wishing.

BRADSTREET'S.

BY Associated Press.
New York, April 13.-Bradstreet's
says: Crop and trade advices alike con-
tinue favorable. The seat of the great
est strength is in the iron and steel
trade, while textiles evince the most
irregularity. Despite the ouieter tone
of export trade in manufactures, it is
to be noted that Americans are still
reaping some advantages from their
superiority in certain lines of iron and
steel.
The retail trade has been helped bS
better weather and while spring job
bing is smaller at several markets. i'm
proved retail trade conditions are ex-
pected to help business. The low price
of cotton is still deterrent to trade at
the south and talk of restriction of the
anticipated increase in acreage is
heard. Planting is, however, being
actively pushed and the retail trade Is
for this reason still quite quiet. North
western trade is quite cheerful and
large numbers of buyers are in the
towns. On the Pacific coast the Alas
kan trade is active and the general
trade from nearby points is good.
At the east trade is better at retail
while wholesale lines are quiet.
Cotton goods note some slight i'm
provement in tone.
Wool is quiet and some weakness IN
washed wool is noted.
Raw sugar has again been stength-
ened and an advance of ten cents per
100 pounds in refined is announced
The outlook favors further strength
ening in both raw and refined grades.
Iron and steel are aggressively
strong. Despite the fact that the pig
iron production is close to the maxi
mum of last year, stocks are still de-
creasing. Good sales of iron and bill
lets are noted. Finished products are
active and most mills are sold ahead
beyond July. Despite the drop in eX-
port trade some good orders are being
received. Plates are higher and an ad-
vance in bars is noted. Copper has
sympathized with the stock market and
is higher abroad.
Wheat has apparently discounted the
good crop report and better export
buying of both wheat and -four is re-
flected in the change from bearish to
a more cheerful tone in that cereal.
The gain in price is a slight one.
The slight decline in corn is the result
of Chicago manipulation.

DuN's REVIEW.
By Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
New York, April 13.-R. G.. Dun
says: The tone of the general business
was better this week. The marked ac-
tivity in the distribution of merchan-
disc is reflected in the gains of 45.9 per
cent. in bank clearings at New York,
compared with 1900 and POS per cent
over 1899, and a gain of 1875 and 1913
per cent. for the same periods at lead
ing cities outside of New York. Even
the textile market shows pronounced
gains. Activity in the metals division
has taken the pig iron production to
near the record figures. The Govern
ment report of the condition of the
wheat on April LIST is the surest pos
sible basis upon which expectation OF
continued commercial prosperity could
be founded.
Railroad earnings In March were IA
per cent. larger than last year and S2.4
per cent. over 1899.
Pig iron quotations are generally
steady for all forms except plates, on
which 81 ton is demanded without
restricting purchases.
Speculation is unusually heavy in
food stuffs, the local market averaging
over two million bushels of wheat
daily.
Prices receded sharply from the top

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-09-03

The Hamakua drought and its forest
fires are together going to do a consid-
cradle and serious injury to that dis
trict 1t will not be irreparable, for
Hamakua is peculiarly subject to
droughts. They occur at somewhat
regular intervals, and the very cd ma
tives had a very good traditional know
ledge of when to expect them. Modern
science has not bothered itself about
Hamakua, but then modern meteorolo-
gical science is not able to tell us very
much about droughts before they arise.
1t can only tell us about them after
their arrival. Hamakua has recover
ed and shown wonderful fertility after
previous droughts, and it will recover
after this one, but 1t suffers mean
while and it's inhabitants feel gloomy.

The Japanese have refused to COM

out the cases for a far longer time than
the commission can sit. The commits
sion has come up against good deal
of attempted fraud, and it is to be
hoped that some of those who have
perjured themselves will be duly pun
ished. 1t is not well to foster a desire
to try fraud as a means of making
small pile.

A grand jury seems another shuttle
cock for "Old father Antic, the law"
as Falstaff calls him, to play with. The
Circuit Judge says he wants one, the
Attorney General says he doesn't just
yet Then again a Grand Jury which
suits the views of a Judge gets bou-
quets thrown at it and warm water
poured down it's back to give it COM
fort, and on the other hand. If it does
not meet with approval, that is, if it
is not subservient, it gets the marble
heart" and "the CLASSY eye" IS the
slang of the day goes. 1t is described
as far from intelligent, and it's integrity
is limited at as far from being what it
should be. Though Falstaff was a
rogue, as a rogue he had to know
something about the law, and the
Divine William, himself, had had some
practical knowledge of the legal as
poets of things so perhaps it is no
wonder he put into Falstaff's mouth,
the phrase "Old father Antic, the law"
He is older now than he was in Shake
speare's days, but he is none the less
of an Antic.
