NAVAL STORES.

Monday, Aug. "a,
SPIRITS-The turpentine market fol-
lowed its usual course to-day Of adj
vancing after the closing. The daily
reports show generally when the adj
vances were scored, and as operators
throughout the turpentine country are
interested just now in this feature of
the price movement, 1t may be inter-
esting to them to keep tab of the num-
Der of after-elosing advances. To-
days opening was firm at SAC, sales 712
casks, and the closing firm at 545zc,
sales, 10 casks. The demand was
good all day, but towards the official
o'clock closing, and for a while there
after ruled very quiet. Both the big
four and the little four were SPAR
ring Hor points. They were after po-
sition, and some strategic work was in
progress. But when the exporters got
down to business the offerings went
quickly at 54isc. To the outsider the
present price movement looks more
like the result of a good wholesome
demand than manipulation. The pro-
duct is apparently wanted, and in their
efforts to get supplies exporters are un-
avoidly running the price UP.
ROSINS-The rosin market closed
firm at the prices below, with the de-
mand fair, and the offerings taken.
Sales of considerable lots were made
above the current quotations on pri-
yate terms. Pales continue to be much
sought after. OF all others they are

causes it TO be depressed at intervals.

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet and un-

rose sharply, and it is thought the ef-
feet of this may be felt, if strength
is further manifested, in the prices OF
spots later on. The chances are that

Honolulu, T. H., June 9th. 1908.
Editor Advertiser: Pardon the liber-
ty I take in answering the attack made
by Miss Prescott against the article
written by Mr. Pulitzer and published
by you in the columns of the Adver-
tiser, but knowing Mr.. Pulitzer per-
sonalIy, I feel that some defence should
be made for him.
Being only a transient visitor to Ha-

of time in which to obtain his impress
sions, it seems to me that the ground
covered by him in his letter sent to
the World" he has written clearly and
in an admirable style of the things
brought to his notice. I know that it
was far from Mr.. Pulitzers intention to
make any attack upon the customs of
Hawaii. and his impressions of the eff
fects of civilization upon the natives
are only too true.
