DECLINE AFTER
STRONG OPENING
Early Buyers Hurry to Tn

NEW YORK SELLS LONDON
This Causes the Market iE the British

Considerably.
NEW YORK SELLS LONDON

NEW YORK, March 20.-The high
cables from London caused many of the
room traders to expect a strong market
at the opening, and perhaps during the
forenoon. The commission clients SEEM
ed to have the same idea for long be-
fore the opening brokers gathered in
groups in order to be on hand to execute
the expected buying orders. About ten
minutes before the opening, brokers
for many large houses started through
the different crowds and sold TO a great
extent all the stocks wanted, the price
to be fixed after the opening, based on
the first transactions.
This left the market practically with
out any demand after the first sales,
and some of the buyers fearing that
they had been loaded with stock they
did not want to carry, hurried to UNI
lead The result was that after n strong
opening. with gains from Is to p per
cent. there was d quick decline of about
point
New York sold stocks heavily in Lon
don on the strong early market there,
and this selling caused the London mar
ket to ease off sharply.
Government bonds unchanged.
An effort to cover shorts by some
Western traders demonstrated that the
floating supply of stock was too small
to permit any change in position with
out important change in prices. A few
OF the more important traders noting
these covering efforts. bid prices UP.
Cables to arbitrage brokers stated that
the Improvement in London was one
growing out of confidence IN early es-
tablishment of peace.
The decline in London later was
wholly on New York selling. On this,
brokers, besides selling IN London for
New York, bought 10000 shares here af-
ter the opening for London account

THURMOND, w. Va, March 20.-An
explosion in the connected Rush Run

GLORIOUS RECORD

And more than all this the Ninth is

They are the 4th and 9Th Cavalry and
the 9th and 10th Infantry. A portion
of the 10th has already been assigned
to duty in the Hawaiian Islands to re-
place the artillery.
The 9th Infantry dates its present
existence from 1885, but the original
9th was organized in 1893 with Josiah

PROBLEM To SOLVE
IN TORRENS COURTS

A peculiar point arose in the Land
Registration court yesterday, causing
Judge Weaver to continue a hearing
until authorities could be consulted.
The late John Magoon had petitioned
some time before his death for reg
istered title to land at River street,
near the Japanese Methodist church.
When the first survey was investigated
it was found to encroach six feet on
the premises of Japanese society.
The hearing had therefore to be adj
vertised over again and It fell due yes
terday. This was three days after the
death OF the petitioner and the point
that caused a continuance was whether
the petition survived the petitioner In
court or would have to be revived, II
the registered title was to be procured
by the legal representatives of the
decedent's estate.
1t would appear that the Torrens
law Of the Territory does not provid,
for such a case, so that the point vii
have to be cleared up by consulting
the general probate authorities.

FOR THE BENEFIT
OF HONOLULU PORT

President Tenney will appoint a
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, to act with a corresponding one
from the Merchants Association, with
view to having all imports of foreign
merchandise, so far as possible, en-
tered at the Honolulu custom house.
1t was shown at the meeting of
trustees of the Chamber that a con-
siderable amount of goods imported for
local consumption the past year was
entered and passed at New York, New
Orleans and San Francisco. Collector
Stackable represented that this bust.
ness distracted so much credit from
the port of Honolulu which should tel
on behalf of appropriations by Con
gress for harbor improvement.
A circular issued by the mercantil,
bodies of Boston to induce customs en-
tries at that port was an exhibit a
the meeting.
