The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-08-17


While the quietness of the midsum-
mer is noticeable the mild current of
business is not without its features.
There are noticeable even marked de-
velopments of changes in several sec
| lions of the field of local commerce.
Small tradesmen join with the big
dealers in the statement that collec-
lions are somewhat better. This is in
deed gratifying news and the fact viii
be a surprise to many who fail to
watch affairs closely.
SETTLEMENT DAY.
Then slowly, very slowly indeed, but
of certainty and with every indica-
ton of the habits having a real per-
manency we are in a business way get
ting into and settling down to mainland
methods. 1t is becoming in Honolulu
and throughout the Territory more and
more the custom to have 1t positively
understood that naming a settlement
day means that settlement is actually
to be made at the time agreed upon.
In short, due largely to system as prac-
ticed in recent years by the local banks
and financial factors, there is growing
to be less and less of postponement
in a careless way of liquidation of cur
rent accounts, interest, mortgages and
notes.
The old way of easy drifting with

it is excellent in every way that it is
so. For this places business on the
firmest and sounoest possible basis and
is the very best sort of insurance against
a sudden disturbance such as might
have most serious results. 1t is well
known that in those communities where
all realize or accept as a matter of
course proper and prompt liquidation
even the thought of panic is unknown.
Time was in Honolulu when consid-
cradle obligation could be Incurred
without either party to the transaction
having any very clear idea on how or
when settlement was to be made

THE PLANTATIONS.
The Kihei boom is progressing very
slowly, though it is now known that
the long-talked of deal to place this
plantation on a solid basis has been
consummated. On the stock and bond
exchange there is but one bidder so far
for the security.

Of it to be had, a few days ago it was
thought that local broker had secured
block, of a thousand shares by
cabling to the Coast, but somehow the
deal fell through at the other end.
Onomea's crop will be thirty per cent
above the estimate. This is said to be
largely due to the remarkable growth
and sugar yield of the Caledonia cane.
Quite a large number of shares Of

large buyers.
There is likely in very short time
to be heavy trading in Hawaiian Com
mercial, both in Honolulu and San
Francisco, though of course much more
than half the stock is off the market
entirely. Hawaiian Commercial has
just ceased grinding with the output
of 81 900 tons, making more than $4,000

Jumping With bound into popularity,
it has maintained its hold upon the
public with grip that there seems
no possibility of breaking. 1t has

proud distinction Of being the only
big, scenic productions worthy the
name before the public A strong,
compact play, possessing those deli
cate touches of pathos and humor and
all the virile force and vigor of the
drama, it ought TO run on indefinitely.
Another excellent reason may be given
for it's success-its owner possesses
the most elaborate and expensive
stage outfit of any company travelling.
No attempt has been made to cheaper
the attraction by the engagement Of
incompetent actors. The old stand

in part:
THE text is Chrst's highest testi-
mony to the character, worth, and
work of John the Baptist. Johns
work was completed and having
been thrown into prison it seems
that doubts crept into his mind as
to whether Jesus were really the
Messiah he had proclaimed"
When John sent some of his dis
ciples to enquire of Christ whether
he was really the expected Messiah.
Christ feared that the people would
think John weak and yacillating,
like reed shaken by the wind
A man is not TO be measured by his
weakest point but by his strongest
point. So that men might not meas
ure John by this exhibition OF seem
ing weakness, Jesus testified that,
Among them that are born of wom-
en- there hath not risen a q eater
than John the Baptist" and "from
the days of John the Baptist until
now the Kingdom of Heaven suffer
eth violence and the violent take it
by force. That is to say, Johns
lite and work were of such a charac
ter, that he made the Kingdom of
God so popular and the way TO it
so plain that men sought it as ear.

Several of the local ministers, in

Buchanan and Wallace took part in
the services.
DR.. Baldwin is most pleasing
and impressive speaker, with ready
flow of language. His choice of
words shows wide knowledge and
discriminating judgment. The man
ner of his expression indicates a
high degree of culture, and great
and good soul behind it all Persons
who seldom go to church attended
this service, joined heartily in the
singing, and seemed to take genuine
pleasure in the exercises.
The musical numbers added much
to the spirituality and interest of
the exercises. Mr.. Wrightson never

Nothing remains to be said of the

abolish the service of news boys on

Most OF the news agents and train
boys are nuisance. The older they

frequently their efforts TO make
sales become positive annoyance to
passengers.
