FORTUNES MADE AND LOST ON
RECEIPT OF GOVERNMENT
ESTIMATE OF CROP.
PRICES ADVANCE 81 TO SO POINTS
VOLUME OF BUSINESS AT TRAD
ING cENTERS EXCEEDS PRE-
VloUs RECORDS.

New Orleans, Dec New Orleans
cotton futures jumped from 50 to &C
points on the reading of the govern
ment report estimating the cotton crop
of l9031904 at 1868 .039 bales. 1t was
the most exciting day in the history
of the exchange The trading ring
had to be roped off so that the brokers,
twenty deep around it, might have all
the room possible to trade in. The
trading floor was so crowded that it
was hardly possible to get from one
end of the room to another.
When the estimate was read trad
ing was almost impossible owing 10
the confusion. The volume OF bust
ness probably exceeded that Of any
previous day in the history of the ex-
change. Brown. the leader, and other
prominent bulls bid for immense guam
titles of cotton and covering by shorts,
who looked for an estimate of at least
100000 bales, was also heavy.
Fortunes We're made and lost within
five minutes after the estimate was
out. Within four minutes prices ad-
vanced 40 points. January advanced
SO points to 1926, March advanced so
points to 1850, and May advanced 81

Excitement at New York.
New York, Dec 4.-When the gov
ernment report was issued placing the
probable cotton crop at 9963 ,039 bales
the effect on the cotton market was
electrical Such rush of buying has
probably never been witnessed here.
The first sales were at a jump of
points or more and before the report
was fifteen minutes old every option
on the list sold up to or past the IL
cent mark. The excitement and con
fusion was simply and absolutely be-
yond description and while the adj
vance brought long cotton in tremen-
dous volume the market continued to
go up, breaking all previous high rec
ords for the season.
Hundreds of thousands Of bales
changed hands right after the report
and the advance was not checked IN.
til December had sold at 1922, Janu-
ary at 1927. March at 123o, May at
1887 and July at 1887 This repre-
sented an advance from the low point
of &c TO 50 points, or about $325 a
bale.
The market closed strong at nearly
the top, with prices net 60 to "A points
higher Sales We're estimated at 2000,-
900 bales, exceeding anything before
recorded, while prices broke all rec
ords for this season of the cotton year. |

COMPLIMENTS THE. FLEET.

The most amicabIe relations exist be-
tween the fleet and the local Customs
officials In fact Collector Stackable is
delighted with the action of Admiral
Evans regarding the observance of the
Customs regulations. The Collector
says that he desires to pay the high
est compliment to Admiral Evans and
the officers in charge of the matter.
They have, the Collector says, CO.

Not a thing has been brought off the

Customs official. Admiral Evans is
VVery positivev over the matter and he

Frequently sailors have come off the
vessels with dutiable articles and have
said they would take them to the Gus

word has not been accepted however

The Last OF
The IranlCars

The tram cars are a thing of the past.
They ceased running at about o'clock
this morning, and a few minutes later
a force of men in shirt sleeves and
overalls began tearing up the track on
Beretania street, Waikiki of Alapal,
and another force with picks and
shovels began the work of constructing
a track for the trolley over the same
line.
1t is the intention of the Rapid Tran
sit Company to build the Beretania
street line at present from the power
house on Alapai street right out to Ar
tesian. A system of cars can then be
run from the outer terminus of the
Beretania street line, which Will get
passengers right down town and in
connection with all other lines of the
Rapid Transit system, without waiting
to build the entire line of the road from
Fort street out. The force of men
which was at work on the Beretantd
street line between Fort and Miller
streets has been called off, though the
work is very far advanced as far as
Miller street.
Beretania street is the last line on
which the tramcars have run. When
the negotiations between the Tram
ways and the Rapid Transit Company
had proceeded so far that it was prac-
| tically certain that the latter company
would get the property of the former,
the tram cars We're taken off King
street. This was nearly a year ago,
| Then when the Fort street line was
completed a few weeks ago the tram
cars We're taken off that line. Then
| the Nuuanu Avenue trolley line was
built and displaced the tramcars there
Beretania was the only line left to the
mules. For a time the Beretania cars
ran to Fort, connecting with the troll
ley at Fort then the trolley line ad.
vanced Waikiki-ward, and the trans
stopped at Alakea, connecting with SlG
trolley there. A few days later the
stopping place was at Alapai street, tn,
| cars connecting there with the Wilder
| Avenue trolley.
Today the trans and the mules eva.
cuated Beretania and by night there
will be very little of the old tram TRACK
left on that wide thoroughfare. There
was no ceremony in connection with
the evacuation. The car made it's last
trip was hauled into the car barn
the mules were unhitched, and turned
loose in the corral. They are now fol
sale.
The tramcar system was opened tC
traffic January 1, 1883, the King street
line beginning operations then. Latei
the Fort and Nuuanu street lines were
put into operation.

An TNVITATION AFFATR

In order that there may be no mis-
take made by the public, the officers of
the fleet wish to announce that the re-
ception and dance to be neld on Satur-
day evening at the Naval Reservation
will be an invitation affair. The idea
is to give an entertainment for the
friends of the officers of the fleet. There
would not be sufficient space to handle
the crowds that would attend if the
affair We're a general reception, so the
officers have decided to restrict the at
tendance. 1t will be by invitation only.
The hours have not as yet been po-
sitively determined. The reception will
occur at 8 o'clock Saturday night.
Dancing will be enjoyed on both the bat
tleships Kentucky and Wisconsin.
Naval Wharf No. at which the two
battleships are lying will be utilized
for promenade. The warships will uti-
lie their own bands to supply the
music for the affairs. Arrangements
are being made to light the wharf bril-
liantly for the occasion.
1t is likely that the two vessels will
again be open to inspection by the pub
lie Sunday afternoon. Both of the YES
sells were visited by crowds last Sum
day and in order to give the people
every opportunity of viewing the war
ships, the inspections will probably be
repeated. Other vessels of the fleet
which are now lying In the stream will
probably hold open day on Sunday or
some time next week.

In passing sentence Judge Dole said
that he would take into consideration
the fact that the defendant had already

American idea. In view of these con-
siderations the sentence was fixed at
six months.

Fears For The GiIbertese

A rumor has been in circulation for
some time among the Hawaiian friends
of the Gilbertese who were returned to
their native land by the steamer Isle
worth, that ten of them died on the
trip to the Gilbert Islands. The rumor
has become very widespread, and is
believed by many. None of those
who heard it could tell how it ORR
ginated, or by what means, word of it
could have reached here, even if it
were so. SO far as can be learned no
letter has been received from any of
the Gilbertese themselves. Rev. Hiram

letter than the one announcing the safe
