MORE CEMETERIES.

Senator Kalauokalani introduced a
resolution providing for an item of s4o.-
600 to be inserted in either the appro-
priation or loan bills for the purchase
of a cemetery. The resolution was to
the effect that the cemetery was needed
because of the overcrowded condition
of those now in the city, and the Super
intendent of Public Works is authorized
to acquire a suitable site for the pur-
pose, within four miles of Honolulu.
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Public Lands.
Senator Isenberg proposed a resolu
ton that the rules be amended so as
TO designate the clerk the secretary of
the Senate instead of clerk. Senator
Achi suggested a point of order that a
change in the rules could not be made
without one days notice. The resolu-
tion was afterwards withdrawn.

GREAT FLUCTuATIONS IN MARK

THE HIGHEST SINCE 1901

New York, May 12.-Thege was
wild market in cotton yesterday with
prices covering a range of a dollar a
bale in this market from Saturday
closing and $3.50 to 81 per bale in
New Orleans. Prices scared at the
commencement of business, going up
by leaps and bounds on trading 20 to
25 points here and 80 to 40 points at
New Orleans. Liverpool markets
were almost equally excited. There
spot cotton advanced 10 points or an
equivalent to 81 a bale in our fuctu-
atoms Spot cotton here is held at
about Ills cents per pound and 1914
cents at New Orleans, against 9a
cents last year.
This has not been anything like the
equivalent Of these high prices since
the last week in January, 1901, when
spot cotton in this market was forced
up to II cents a pound. That was the
highest record for cotton since 1890,
when it sold in January in the market
at 1874 per cent. and about pence a
pound at Liverpool, after prolonged
session of bull speculation.
Almost every broker was loaded
with buying orders when the market
opened and there was great roar
when trade began. May sold as high
as 11.2O in the afternoon. July, which
was 1929, started at a 10.40 bid and
was bid to 1850. Then the sales
transactions were on an enormous
scale, ranging from that price down to
1915, to 1O.43; then there was break
to 1O.41. The August option which
closed at 9.97 started at 1920 and
1921 and was heavily traded in as
July, while the September option OF
next years crop, which has only just
been planted and which closed al
9.28, opened ii points higher, at 9.42
and sold up to 944 and then broke 1C
points and afterwards rallied to $40
