Satisfy Mortgage.

Grace Episcopal Church. 9th and D
streets southwest. will probably be sold
to satisfy a mortgage on it for $1,000
held by the Union Trust Company. Moth
ing but large and generous contribution
OF money. it is believed, can prevent the
foreclosure and subsequent SALE
Officials of the Union Trust Company
stated this morning that the church con-
gregation has fallen behind in their pay
ments OF interest, but that the time for
payment had been heightened to enable
the congregation to become financially
strong and resume the payments. Re-
Gently, however, steps have been taken
looking to the sale o. the structure at
auction to satisfy the mortgage.
Five years ago. it Is declared, Grace
Church was fourishing. and it, was de-
cided that the edifice should be remodeled
and beautified. To provide the funds q
mortgage of $4,000 was put on the build
ing and the changes carried out. The
burden of the debt became heavy, and
shortly after a second mortgage was
found to be necessary. The congregation
has been growing smaller for the past
three years and the church suffered, it is
said. on account of the railroad improve
ment work In the southwest section last
year.
In the hope Of arousng interest in the
plight of the church Bishop Satterlee will
speak to the congregation tomorrow even

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The demand for gas stock at the meet
ing of the stock exchange today was un-
usual. as for some time past that security
has been rather neglected. But today
the buying seemed to be quite general and
a number of brokers wanted the stock ana
were willing TO pay 6o for IL.
Several lots changed hands under these
conditions and after the call a sale was
made at 651s. Shares were 70 be had at
Il. For the first time since the rather
lively movement several months ago what
took place today was somewhat sugges-
tive of that period. 1t is supposed the
court proceedings instituted by the COM
pany to secure authority. TO increase the
stock comprises the ntire poiIcy 10 ne
pursued in the near future that will oe
likely to have an influence on the stock.
and on this account, it is concluded, the
outlook having been cleared UP to that
ext, mt. that the situation has been I'M
proved.
Lanston, another security that has been
a stranger TO the active list for some time,
came to the front today, and while the
trading did not reach large proportions the
bid was maintained at 10 and also ad-
vanced an eighth of a point. The bid or
10 was not only for quotation lot of
100 shares. but also for 500 shares. a bid
for an option on 500 shares reached 1O1a.
The revived interest in that security Is
thought to be due to the belief that the
deferred semi-annual dividend of , per
cent is to be paid probably during the
month of April.
No change was noted in the case of the
traction securities, and the tendency
toward lower levels noted for several
days past marked the attempts to trade in
them today Some Capital Traction stock
was sold at 40, and when the buying
ceased the asking price was 12oA, with
the bid three -eighths of point less.

NEW YORK, January 25.-For the frst
time during the current week the stock
market displayed certain degree or
naintained strength. That circumstance
was perhaps only natural in view OF the
protracted decline OF the earlier Fart OF
the week.
There was a natural disposition on the
part Of the short Interest 10 retire por-
rion Of their outstanding commitments.
and, III fact. the advances in American
stocks in the London market were COM
monty ascribed to purchases of the same
description for New York account.
At the same time the London market
was generally steady, being favorably in
nuenced by a further reduction in the
discount rate of the Imperial Bank of
Germany to o per cent, that institution
following the lead set on Thursday by
The Bank of France and the Bank Of Eng
land.
There was otherwise. little of any I'M
portance in the news of the morning Ii
was commonly assumed that the weekly
bank statement would make another eX-
ceedingly strong showing in view of the
heavy gains in cash now making by the
hanks, and doubtless that prospect stimu-
lated the covering of short contracts.

Honolulu seems unduly excited
over the fact that the Federal au-
thorities in Washington have decided
in favor of the Irwin site as against
the Mahuka site for the proposed Fed

'We Maui residents do not take 50
much interest in the exact location OF
said building. The fact that the au.
thorities want to change the location
to a spot two blocks removed from
where majority of the Honolulu bus
mess people want it, is to US Maui
residents a mere detail.
''From higher point of view op
posed to that of mere utility and pass
ing convenience, and for identifying
the capital city, the Irwin site gets
our vote.
I'VE commend the people of Homo

Skeptics have remarked that there
is not enough pressure and water in

use of a fire hose worth the while
when a fire does occur. If such de-
plorable conditions do really prevail

it that the growing, town of Kahului
has ample and sufficient water sup
