THE LAND LAWS.

Homestead lands? Well, Governor
that for the past twenty years. The
land act of 1895 is the best they could
do. They tried to suit the sugar planter
and the coffee planter, and the small
farmer and the Kanaka peasant. There
are six classes of land and five forms of
purchase. 1t would puzzle a Philadel-
phia lawyer to see his title clear under
that act. Can't expect Americans to
come out here to take up land when
they can get it on better terms at home.
However, when a man once opens up
land in Hawaii, it's value grows like
a weed. This land for which 1 paid S.
an acre four years ago is now worth
500. There's no more paying invest
is that there is so little left, only $1,000
acres of agricultural land is still at the
disposal of the land commissioners.
Two years ago the United States gov
eminent stepped in and set aside as a
military reservation a fourteen-tnou-
sand-acre tract right alongside This
colony. A deputation of army officers
came here to select a camp where the
broken down soldiers from the Phil
ippines might be sent to recuperate.
The Secretary of War approved their
recommendation. and there it lies, the

Spot cotton scored it's historical ad-
vance to-day. At the Cotton Exchange
the opening was firm, with prices same
sales, "A bales; the monday call, very
firm, 1sc up, with higher prices asked,
sales, bales, and the closing, firm,
&c up, sales 631 bales. The total sales
for the day were 700 bales. After the
closing factors were asking 12bc for
basis good middling cotton along the
Bay, and the cotton was not apparent
ly to be had for less. A boom such
as the market has never known is on,
and the trade did not appear to know
where the price will go.
In the f. o. b. market the disposition
was not to sell cotton. The interior
went wild over the bureau, and would
not sell their cotton. Brokers could
not get offers at prices at which they
could do business. The ruling quota
ton for the day was 12Ac, with the
demand better at these prices than it
was at yesterdays. The official f. o.
b. prices were at the opening 12Mc.
and at the closing 12A@12ssc.

quotations at the close of the market

Spot cotton was firm to-day though
there was but little doing: all parties

when it's contents were known, farmers
at once raised prices entirely beyond
the views of buyers. Sales 4525 bales

effect of the bureau report had devel-
Oped in the future market, the Cotton
Exchange advanced the price of spot
cotton q cent a pound.
This was one of the widest days
ever seen in the future market. The
government bureau estimate of $685.

prices up from So to 60 points. At the
opening, prices were to s points above

New York. Dec. S.-Cotton opened
at an advance to s points. There
was no little nervousness on account
of the bureau report, which everybody
expected to be bullish. Cables were
quite good and the tenor of the mail
reports was generally bullish. But few
sections were reporting a good pros
pect and many a very poor one. The
short interest was big enough to keep
everybody on the anxious seat. A cold
wave extended over the greater por-
ton of the belt. Spinners were grow
ing restless as points advanced, and
it is considered certain that they
must enter the market at higher prices
when it will appear that the crop is
a short one, as many have, predicted.
Prices were unsettled, and the market
weakened until all the gain had been
lost, and then quoted down without
much activity, until the bureau report
appeared. Gables were 2 to 3 lower.
Port receipts $4,000, against $1,000 last
year Decided weakness was follow
ed by a partial rally from a loss at
one time of 10 points from yesterday,

New York, Dec. Snow that the
bureau is out Of the way, we can go
ahead with some conviction. 1t is
now beyond question that we have a
deficient crop and nothing but high
prices can make production fit the
consumption. That is, nothing but
excessive prices can bring the actual
spinning requirements back to that
figure where the crop can fill the
holes. AS soon as the report of 1862
900 came out, We sent the following:
Buy for higher prices" We are no
longer uncertain about the report for
it is out of the way. We can hardly
count on more than 10,300,000 at the
outside and this means something like
IA or Is cents for spring cotton. What
is there to prevent high prices, since
the cotton is not there? The world
needs the cotton. You can't cut down
consumption at 10 or 70 cents. 1t
takes all of this to cut it down to TO-
500, 900 bales. And a further cut to
100000 will take another turn of
the S6rew. We can see wild market
all the spring and fluctuations will be
enormous. Cotton should be bought
on every break though reactions will
be inevitable.

New York. Dec. 3.-The great event
of to-day's market was the report of
the Agricultural Bureau. Notwith-
standing the rumors current yesterday
that this report had leaked, and by
the way the rumor seems to have been
correct, it proved bomb she'll in the
camp of the bears, and caused an ad-
vance of over 81 a bale. 1t is a COM
plete confirmation of what we have
been contending for during the last
three months. and ensures very high
prices for cotton from now until the
next crop becomes available. We con-
tinue to advise the long side of the
market in the long run, though after
such an advance as we had to-day
the immediate future will depend on
the action of Europe, and it is well to
be cautious in following the advance
further until after some reaction.
