The nearer we get to the holidays the less interest there seems to be in spot cotton.
 Under the influence of an unfavorable future market. Spots went off sSc yester- day and there Is no immediate prospect or a backbone in the market until the holiday Necason is over. There will not be a market fn New Orleans or Liverpool from the close today until next Wednesday morning. That is to say the exchanges will be closed.

FARE WELL LUAU
Especial TO The Bulietinj

Spreckelsville. Maui, Aug. 31.-A
farewell luau was given at the home
of Mrs. w. II. Daniels on Saturday
evening in honor OF her daughter
Nancy who departs for Honolulu on
Wednesday to enter school. The event
was also to commemorate the Goth
birthday of her youngest son Harry.
Eatables OF various Hawaiian dishes
were spread on table forty feet long
at which the invited guests sat down
at about o'clock and 1t was well be-
tween $50 and o'clock before they
had the inner man contented.
The tables were then cleared and
dancing was INDUCED in until way aft
er midnight. The feature of the even
ing was the music furnished by the
Puunene Quintet lately organized by j.
Il. Shaw. Much credit is due him as
from the playing and singing rendered
by them 1t shows that after this there
Is no necessity of sending to Homo
lulu for musicians to come to Maui
to play for any of our big dances.
Among those present were the follow
ing: Mr. and Mrs. William Walsh, Mr..
and Mrs. James Fantom. Mr.. and Mrs.
A. J. Gossin, Mrs. c. Hansen and
daughter, Mrs. Belts and three daugh-
tiers. Mrs. ordway. Mrs. E. F. Dinert,

II think 1t Is clear enough. You came
