BANKER cLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen from,
Wall Street,


Wall Street.
New York, Sept. 12.-Just now the
harvest is the chief consideration. The
bulk of the corn crop is free of dan
ger from frost and in another two
weeks the entire crop will be safe. The
september report of. the Department
OF Agriculture, just issued, indicates
a yield of 2,2S9, 90O,OO bushels, against
2,52S,6O0,O00 bushels, last years record
harvest; and substantial crops are in
dictated all around. Cotton also has
thus far been fortunate in escaping
from frost damage. This is not a
record breaking crop year, but there
is promise of plenty for home and
Tor export at good prices, which means
profitable season to the farmers,
and that is vastly more advantageous
10 the country as a whole than excess
slvely big crops at improbable figures.
All advices from both South and West
indicate that the farming classes are
exceedingly prosperous.
The general business situation is ex-
ceptionally sound. Wall streets an
tics have produced an unusually con.
serVatiVe feeling in business circles,
and that is excellent insurance against
eNcesses during the coming season.
There are signs of reaction in the iron
trade as demands of the railroads and
building enterprise diminish, but else
where there are no signs of contliac-
ton, except in cotton manufacturing,
where the cotton corner exaggerated
the effects Of an actual scarcity of
cotton. The effect of these tendencies
is already shown in Clearing House
returns. which in August showed Il
decline OF IL per cent, compared with
last year for the entire country 1t
is significant, however, that the shrink
age was confined entirely to the Mid
ole Atlantic States, the Western and
Southern States still reporting salts
factory gains, the Pacific States lead
ing. New York is still headquarters
for dependency, the August clearings
here declining II per cent, While all
other cities outside of New York COM
bined showed an increase of over
per cent.
The stock market outlook, all things
considered, is fairly encouraging A
more hopeful feeling prevails in bank
ing circles, though conservatism is still
the policy there. 1t is felt that recent
liquidation has greatly improved stock
market conditions, and that, if crop
and money difficulties do not arise,
any slight reaction in business, such
as seems to be anticipated, will not
prevent values reaching their normal
level, something which it is quite GER
tain has not yet occurred.

the lookout yesterday, though no
rreat uneasiness was felt at any time.
S1,,tra lines we're near at hand. and in
use of forecasts for rough weather
NV could have been thrown out with
,,t delay. There is enough shipping
;, the port at present to make the
leather forecasts of great concern, and

The steamboat Wilmington has just
baen overhauled. She was out on
Pourke's Railway. Her bottom was
nointed. and repairs made to her hull.
The tug w. F. Brewster, towing mud
sroys for the dredges, will be hauled

repairs.
The number of the ships of the Ger

LAST year, and has only increased 80
rms wear, viz, increase in steamers, IL;
decrease in sailing vessels, IL. The
number of crews, however. increased
considerably, being now $4,000, against
"A 900 last year. The total tonnage
shows a gain of nearly 250,000 tons, as
il is the tendency of the times to build
ships with the largest practical tom
mage.
The Massachusetts Fish Commission
has planted about $4,000, 900 lobster fry
this year, and if one in a hundred
would reach maturity there would not
be much danger of a failure of the lob

YORKTOWN
GOES HOME.
Gunboat Here on
Way to Mare
Island.
Little Fighter Has Had
Active Work in
Philippines.
Was Engaged About Mindanao
and in Patrols on Other
Islands.

Flying a homeward-bound pennant at
her mizzenmast head the trim little U.
s. gunboat Yorktown came into the
harbor early yesterday morning from
Yokohama. She is moored at Naval
Dock No. 1. The boat was fourteen
days on the trip, steaming along under
half pressure and using he sails when
ever possible, ten knots per hour being
her average. The vessel could have
come into port about ten o'clock on
Saturday night, being off Kauai in the
afternoon, but Commander Stuart saw
no advantage in entering at that time,
and the vessel was slowed down.
The Yorktown has been stationed at
zamboanga. island of Mindanao, Phil
ippines, for about three months, and
when ordered home, went to Cavite,
thence to Yokohama where she remain
ed a week. departing for Honolulu on
May 8. She will remain here about a
week, taking on 25O tons of coal. The
vessel win be given another coat of
white paint while in port.
The only unusual incident on the trip
from Yokohama to Honolulu. occurred
on the day after leaving the Japanese
port. when one of the sailors lost his
life. The man was evidently lost over
board. The affair was somewhat mys-
terious and the officers and crew only
conjecture that he went overheard and
with suicidal intent. The sail
prs name was Madsen, a blacksmith.
He was one of the last sailors with
shore leave to come aboard the vessel
at Yokohama before sailing time, and
ne had been drinking heavily. He was
IN pretty bad shape at the time. The
next morning while the ship was at sea,
Madsen was seen up to 1870 o'clock. |
All his movements are accounted for
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-05-18


up to the time. Then he was not miss
ed until in the afternoon. A search
was instituted but no trace of him was
found. The verdict was that in his
sobering-up condition he determined &c
take his life. and quietly slipped over
board from among a pile of coal sacks
on deck.
The Yorktown was here about four
years ago en- route to the Philippines.
She gained prominence from the fact
that Lieut.. Gilmore and detachment
of men from the vessel landed on the
eastern side of Luzon and were taken
prisoners by the Filipinos. being kept in
captivity for many months before their
release was effected. Lieut.. Gilmore
and his men suffered many hardships
some of the men being in pitiable con-
dition when rescued.
The Yorktown has recently been en-
gagged in patrol work about the island
of Mindanao with her base port at
zamboanga. 1t isa on this island that
Captain Perslning has been making
fame in his operations against the
Moros, his command being encamped
for while at Camp Vicar, a nights
ride on horseback from Zamboanga-
The Yorktown was also patrolling the
island of Samar during the trouble with
the islanders, when Major Waller made
his famous march across the island.
The Yorktown visited Vladivostok
within the past year, making but q
short stay in the Russian port. She is
now en- route to Mare Island to go out
of commission and receive an over.
hauling. She has a crew of 100 officers
and men, including fifteen marines.
Her battery consists of six 6-inch guns
in the main battery, two 6-pounders,
two 3-pounders, two 1-pounders and
two machine guns. Her officers are as
follows:
Comdr. D. D. " Stuart, Lt.-Comdr.

Commander Stuart was joined here
by Mrs. Stuart and their son, who ar
rived on the Coptic from Yokohama
during the week. Lieut.. Olmsted, Lieut..
Stamworth, Lieut.. Britain and Lieut.
Allderdice are old-timers tie
Lieut.. Olmsted was here
during the monarchy, provisional gov
and Republic days, and knows
about everybody in town. He was last
here in 1899 on the Solace. He is a close
friend of Lieut.. Emory Winship, a !
naval favorise in Honolulu, who was so
badly wounded during the landing of
4 boats crew from the Bennington, on
he island of Luzon. about three years
ago.

No Law on Island,
...L.e

There is an island down in Penob-
scot bay, a few miles from Penob-
scot, that is in one respect one Of the
most peculiar islands on the surface
of the globe, says a correspondent OF
the Pittsburg Gazette. 1t is known on
the charts as Rugged Island, but senti-
mental summer residents have named
1t Crie Haven in honor of old John
Crie, a bearded Scotchman, who set
tied here among the rocks more than
half century ago. The island is un-
der no form of government and
though it is part of the state of Maine,
the people pay no taxes and have no
officers of any kind. There is not a
rat or mouse in all of it's mile and a
half of rocky length and it's half mile
of ledgy width. There are no bugs in
the beds, no reaches in the pantries,
no cats or dogs behind the stoves, and
no mosquitoes in the pools of fresh
water. The island has no church in
which to worship and no minister to
tell the people whether they are doing
right or wrong. No lawyer ever re-
sided here and no sheriff or constable
ever came to issue summons or to
serve processes. A kind old doctor
who lives in Rockland is the only
physician who makes professional
visits to the place, and he is told when
to come by carrier pigeons. AS soon
as the doctor receives the call he lib
crates a pigeon from his loft. which
bears message telling when he is
coming. The regular inhabitants of
the island now number AZ, but in the
summer there are often as many as 100
persons living On the island. There
are eight COWS and three horses there,
but not mile of road for them to
travel in. The horses are used for
hauling up boats. Everybody walks
by well worm foot paths, which are
originally laid out by COWS while seek
ing feed among the huge boulders.
The only occupation of the residents
Ms catching Holsters in pots covered
by nets. Every person tries to cap
ture enough every day to bring So,
which is easily done when Holsters are
sold to the steamers for Is cents a
pound.

THE MATCH PUZZLE.

Split slightly the end of one match,
then cut slanting the end of second
one, which is to be inserted in the
divided end OF the first, forming an
acute angle. Place them on the table,
the summit Of the angle at the top,
leaning against a third match, as rep
resented in the illustration.
These are all the preparations
needed.
Give fourth match to any one
present, asking him to lift by the aid
of it the first three matches which
form the angle. This is the problem
which is to be solved, and the figure
held by the hand in the illustration
shows the solution to 1t.
1t is only necessary to press the
fourth match slightly against the first

Russia's Salt Lakes.

Probably the most remarkable lake
in the world is one with coating of
salt that completely conceals the water.
1t may be seen at any time during the
year, fully exposed, being seen at its
best when the sun is shining directly
upon it. This body of water is one
of the saltiest of the salt lakes, and is
situated near Obdorsk, Siberia, says
the London Globe. The lake is 8
miles wide and II long. The salt coat
increases six inches in thickness every
year. The many inslands with which
the lake is studded are said to act as
braces and to help keep the arched salt
crust in position.
