That financial conditions in Honolulu
and Hawaii are satisfactory, CONNER
eial conditions prosperous, and the
outlook for the future thoroughly en-
couraging, is the opinion of the bankers
of this city. The pessimist can find
no comfort in what they say, or just
lfcation for croaking in the conditions
which they point cut. There has ap-
parently been an effort on the part of
some elements to depress confidence in
conditions and to see ominous clouds on
the immediate future Of the islands.
Whether these gloomy forebodings are
merely the result of pessimistic tenn
permanent, or are INDUCED in for III
terror purposes, if consensus of the
business community is a standard, they
have no basis in things as they are,
or as the outlook is.
81 think it may be sincerely said
that conditions in Honolulu are very
satisfactory said L. Tenney Peck,
Cashier of the First National Bank.
cit is true that interest rates are
little higher than they have been, and
that banks are conservative. But that
is due TO conditions which do not affect
our prosperity and have only tenn
porary effect on the matter of interest,
loans, and bank accommodations.
"Money is tight and interest is high
in San Francisco, but nowhere else on
the Coast or in the United States. The
reason for it is not far to seek. The
work of rebuilding San Francisco has
called for capital far beyond the in
surance money received. Following
the disaster a year ago, San Francisco
was for a time not able to carry on
its usual business. The merchants of
other coast cities sought the business
that had been going to San Francisco.
A large part of our own business went
elsewhere. Orders went from here to
New York that ordinarily would have
gone to San Francisco. All these con-
sidered, taken together with the in
dustrial Reorganization existing, and
one can readily see that San Francisco
from being city that had sufficient
capital within herself to carry on her
own business, must now seek capital
elsewhere to help her. In the past
San Francisco instead of drawing
money from New York to carry on her
enterprises, has frequently sent money
TO New York to take advantage of the
high interest rates prevailing there
at times.
"Under the conditions prevailing the
San Francisco banks have very natur-
ally and very properly adopted con
servative and careful policy. Their
first duty is to the regular customers
and to meet the requirements of cur
rent trade and business. Everything
in its nature speculative has to give
way to the more important needs OF the
regular. channels of business.
.sOur financial relations with San
Francisco have been so close for so |
many years, that it can not fail but
