JOE PA CAPTAIN

At meeting of the football boys
ut Oahu College on Monday Joe Pa,
the all-round athlete, was elected to
lead the Blue and Buff in their COM
ing gridiron struggles
Pa is an old football player hay-
ing played both at Kamehameha and
Punahou. He has also played on the
p. A. c. team. Pa is a very fast run
uer and plays behind the line.
Lydgate is the manager of the
team this season. Reed will coach
and the men will turn out at once.
Al Lowrey is not sure OF being in the
team this season. Lowrey is u crack
back and his work will be missed by
the college team. 1t is to be hoped
mat he will be in the line up.
From present indications the Oahu
team should have an easy time taking
the championship.

 UNDER PRESSURE Steel Trust Report Has a Bear BIG DECREASE IN ORDERS Market Feels Effect of Report to Such Extent That Prices Slump Sharp
 ly In Stocks of All
 Classes.
BIG DECREASE IN ORDERS

New York July 3l.-The decline in prices today got it's principal inspiration from the quarterly report of the united States steel corpora tion The main factor in dis courasng sentiment was the statement given by one of the directors that the amount of new business of the corporation for July had contracted % to 30 per cent from the business of July, 1906. A shrink age so considerable as to give occasion for much serious thought of the extent to which the slowing up in general business might go. Thus 1t happened that stocks turned weak on the appearance of the report of the record quarterly earnings of the steel corporation.
 Tie fact that these earnings would con- stitute a new record was definitely known for several days before the report was pi blished, although the figures exceeded tn most sanguine estimate. The decrease in the volume of orders on hand on June 30 compared with the preceding quarter was no greater than was expected. But these facts apply to past conditions and failed to appeal to stock market sentiment The fact dwelt on was that the present condition in the steel trade represents a considerable reaction with data lacking

to define the ultimate limits of the ra- action. Some of the features of the ac- counting in the quarterly report had an influence In affecting the confidence with which 1t was received.
 A new method of accounting was adopt ed in the previous quarterly report, so that the comparison with that was con- sidered accurate, but in the comparison with last year there is a discrepancy which ther is no information to guage properly The old form included in the deductions from gross earnings the cost of renewals as well as ordinary repairs and maintainance of plants while the new forms has dropped that word. While the sum of $1S,5OO,O0O appropriated from the surplus for new plants" and other items constitutes a record and compares with $13,W0OOO of the corresponding quarter of last year. the item of special improve ment and replacement funds stands at $1,000, 900 compared with S2,500,OOO for the corresponding quarter last year. The sig nificance of these changes could only be properly understood by an expert ac- countant, but they formed the subject of discussion in making up the unfavorable impression following the publication of the report.
 From the purely speculative standpoint the view was adopted that market that failed of stimulation from the recent an nounced intention to advance the South ern Pacific dividend and from the United States steel quarterly earnings was not in hopeful position for a rise. There was in consequence much professional selling of stocks. The copper stocks were even weaker than the iron and steel stocks, partly on account of the continued un- settlement in the market for the metal which scored a further wide decline In London today A contributary cause to the weakness in the group was the feeling that the outcome of the Haywood trial might involve some added difficulties for those companies in the labor department. An unfavorable crop report from a private expert of some authority in the specula- tive markets was a factor in the late weakness of the market
 Sterling exchange moved away from the gold export point today. The higher rates for call loans have invited offerings of bankers finance bills. which lowered the price of exchange The pressure to sell stocks persisted throughout the session and the market closed weak at the lowest prices of the day.

SHORTS HASTEN TO COVER
Trade Is Waiting Nervously for Gov ernment Report, Which Will Be
 Issued Friday, and Many
 Expect It to Be Bullish.

New York; July 31.-The cotton market was frmer today with prices advancing on a moderate demand, attracted by bull ish private condition reports. The close was steady at a net advance of 15q17 points. Sales were estimated at 2500O0 bales. The market opened firm at a net advance of 5dS points in response to high CT cables and a condition report issued by a leading trade year placing the aver age condition of the crop at 775 per cent, or only 33 per cent better than last month.
 Later a condition report was issued showing an average of 77S per cent or an improvement of 26 per cent for the month and while private wires reported showers in the western belt, the market advanced on the condition figures owing to covering by shorts who had been expecting a larg CT improvement in the condition of the crop for the month and some fresh buy ing for long account.
 The higher point of the day was reached in the afternoon following a statement is- sued by the paper of the report of the first mentioned making the condition 75.7 instead of 77.5 and while many traders were not willing to credit that the con dition had improved only 1.3 per cent for a month, October sold at 11.95c and De- cember at 12.03c, or about 19 points net higher on July covering and local bull support. The close was a little off from the best, under realizing, but there was no aggressive pressure.
 The governments condition report is expected at noon Friday and will com pare with 72 per cent last month and S2.9 per cent last year. Receipts at the ports today 1906 bales against 2605 last week and 2567 last year. For the week 10000 bales against 10,361 last week and 29.523 last year.
