| relieved last night by the arrival Of
| the ship Marion Chflcott. from Mon
| terev. with $4,000 barrels of oil and
| 500 drums of distillate for the Pacific
| Oil Transportation Co. The Marion

Forward she viii have practically
new deck, the patchwork added at
various times since the fire in her hold
IN 1887 being all knocked out to make
room for new knees and deck beams.
Everything that shows trace of the

some OF the timbers are sound Their
appearance, however, has been OBJ
jected to at different times by the in
spectors.
New boilers are to be put in and the

until after the end Of the year.
CHINESE IMPORTING DIRECT
At the present time the imports from
China to Hawaii are greater by very
large extent than they have been for
many years This is due altogether to
the San Francisco disaster, which
wired cut the stocks of goods in that
city consumed by Cinnamon, from
which stocks the goods used by the
Cinnamon Of Hawaii were drawn.
This fact brings out the trade para
dox that goods I'M ported here directly
from China cost more than the same
goods used to cost when sent past TO !
San Francisco and transshipped here. |
It had been the case that tramp steam |

ried csrgoes of these goods at a very |
low price. low enough to allow San
Francisco importers to compete with |
the Chinese exporters for the trade |
here.
With the rebuilding of San Fran |
cisco's Chinatown the trade viii I
doubtless go back TO the old channels,
which tend to swell customs returns for
the Coast city at Hawaifs expense,
should the refunding bill ever become
law.
