CROP SITUATION IN LAURENS.
Views of MIR. J. D. Sullivan, Who Has
Travelled Over Much of the County.

The general latcness Of the crops IN
Laurens county, particularly cotton, is
subject of much concern, although
there is plenty of time, with favorable
conditions, to overcome this. Knowing
these conditions representative of
The Advertiser obtained from Mr..
Jared ID. Sullivan, special field agent of
the cooperative demonstration work
being conducted in this county, some
views on the crop situation Nv. Sulli-
van is in position to know what he is
talking about, having Travelled over
much of the county since the planting
season opened.
He says up to the 18th Of the present
month that the prospect for a normal
cotton crop was very poor The crop
is late, bad stands in many sections and
replanting has been necessary. The
cold weather ten days ago caused much
to die, while on certain soils unsatSfac-
tory stands of cotton were secured
from the first planting, due Mr.. SuIli-
van thinks, to the method of planting
the seed too deep. He also finds that
the acreage is smaller and that labor is
scarcer. Under these conditions, there
fore, normal crop of cotton is not cX-
pCcted.
Fairly good stands Of corn have been
obtained and there is much yet to be
planted, especially on lowlands. The
farmers are, he finds, greatly inter
ested in this crop, which he rcgan,s as
one of the most encouraging signs of the
times. Corn land has been well pre-
pared, as a rule, and heavily fcrtilizcd.
Early planted corn is looking vigorous
and growing nicely.
While the small grain crop is consid-
erably off in acreage, Mr.. Sullivan says
fall oats are good and that the spring
sowing yet has chance to make a fair
yield. But he advises farmers to SOW
oats in the fall, from the 10th of Sep
tember to 10th of October.
Gardens are fairly good, but have
needed rain. Peaches and apples, in
fact all fruit crops, promise Il pretty
full yield.

FEDERAL BUILDING
Appropriation Of $50, 600
Made for Purpose.
PRAISE FOR JOHNSON.
Through Efforts of 4th District Congress.
man His Home Town Fares Well
In Public Buildings Bill.

The people Of Laurcns were catcd
over the news from Washington Friday
to the effect that the public buildings
bill, carrying appropriation of $50 900
for n Federal building at I.awcns had
passed the house. Practical assurances
of the successful passage of the bill
with this item had been givcn Somc
days before but the fact Of it's success
caused great satisfaction here, the first
news coming in dispatch to Mayor
Babb Friday afternoon.
OF course everybody knew that Con-
grcssman Johnson would take care Of
l'aurens, and this appropriation was
secured for this city through his efforts
and the showing made by the postal
receipts. 1t is Il very handsome thing
for Laurcns and is greatly appreciated
The building will be used for the
postoilcc and its location is already Il
matter of much speculation. A number
of sites have been suggested, including
the Ball property, on laurcuS street,
the Robertson hotel, Fleming ware
house lot, city opera house and others
OF course this is all merely speculative
and it will probably be some time be
fore anything at all definite is decided
upon in this matter. The fact that the
appropriation has been obtained means
that Laurens will have a nice Federal
building, and probably no one is proud
er Of this than Joe Johnson himself

Mayor Babb from Congressman Joseph
T. Johnson's private secretary:

MAIL ADyICEs.


While there have been abundance of
mail advices during the week, none of
it is specially Illuminating, as 1t is all
concerning conditions before the drop
from 4.42 cents. AS to what caused
the drop to AIS there is as yet no de-
tailed information, though Smith &
Sch1pper, under date of May Is, give
what may be some sort of intimation
They say: Our market has been dull,
with more or less indifference being
shown by both buyers and sellers. The
reason for this can possibly be located
in the decline of prices abroad, and
the heavy receipts for the United
States four ports. This placed refin-
ers in position to stay out OF the
market, as their present wants were
well covered. The decline abroad,
which private advices tell us was due
to speculative resales and stop loss
limits, seems to have been checked and
both yesterdays and today's cables
show steady Improvement in the sit
uation. This was quickly reflected here,
and where yesterday morning it would
probably have been easy 20 buy 100000
to 900 bags Cubas for May ships
,nent. on the basis of 800 cents cost and
freight. today only 10000 TO $4,000 bags
are obtainable at this figure, which is
on the basis of the prevailing spot
quotation of 4.36 duty paid for 96-de-
gree centrifugals. 1t did look yester-
day as though nearby sugar would sell
at Lice, with the possibility OF l-Sc.
decline, and there is still small lot
of sugar in port which may finally be
sold at some concession, but certainly
the tone this afternoon is better, and
with the exception Of nearby sugar,
which holders do not care TO store,
there has at no time been pressure to
sell We have previously pointed out
that our market from time to time Will
he governed almost entirely by the
European situation, and fluctuations
abroad will Immediately be reflected
here. so that now the improved tone
of the European market encourages
sellers of Cuban sugars to hold out for
higher prices later on. And there
seems to be no question that if they
are willing to carry supplies until our
rafners' necessities force them into the
market, that at least current quota
tions can be maintained. and later on,
when the demand improves, higher
prices secured"
This seems 20 have been the genesis
and history of the break in prices from
40 tn 436. and it seems very likely
thar ike conditions produced the still
further break TO 4.25. There seems TO
ra M other way Of accounting for it.

THE CUBAN CROP.

that the Cuban crop is more and more
definitely placed at 100000 tons at the
outside. The weather conditions con-
tinue less dry in many districts. al
though there are still number where
no rain has fallen.
From Europe the reports indicate
Slightly decreased sowings.
DIVIDENDS REPORT.

change would show that the amount
of dividends paid from corporations
listed thereon amounts to over s500,O01
this month. The amount of paid In
capitaP' of these interest bearing cor
porations amounts 20 very nearly $40

WAILUKU'S WATER FIND.
But what is of quite as much i'm
portance, or more, in all probability,
to Wailuku shareholders, as the action
of the directors in declaring this divi-
dend of one per cent month is the
development of water made lately in
tunnelling in the Waikapu valley. A
source of water has been struck
yielding by weir measurement over
100000 gallons of water a day. This
is, too, in what has always been con-
sidered the dry section of the planta-
ton and of the West Maui mountains.
What this means to the plantation,
those familiar with irrigation and wa
ter supplies we'll know.
RETIRING PLANTATION BONDS.
j. P. Cooke is authority for the state
ment that Haiku and Paia plantations
will use a part at least of the unusual
earnings of this year of good crops
and high prices to retire a part of the
bond issues of these enterprises. This
is in accordance with the Alexander &
Baldwin policy in such matters, which
though perhaps never positively for
INFLATED is generally known, and will
very likely be applied to kahuku, and
quite likely to Hawaiian & CONNER
cial, as the increase of the dividend
only to eighty cents a share when it
might be higher, would seem to indi-
cate.
THE COURSE OF THE MARKET.
Oahu has receded a little from the
highest prices at which it has been
sold, the last sales being at S2S. This
was very likely due to the fact that
the directors met without taking ac-
ton TO increase the monthly dividend.
This increase, however, is hardly like
Iy TO be delayed very long, and when
it comes it will be an increase from
one and a half to two per cent.
month.
Eva closed with the quotation $27.75
bid and $3.50 asked. with sales re-
ported on the Exchange at $3.50. This
is practically the equivalent shading
off from the highest quotations before
the payment of the dividend.
Hawaiian Sugar is strong with some
stock changing hands, a good deal in
the aggregate.
Waialua has shaded off considerably

INFLUENCE FELT ON REAL ES-
TATE.
For the first time since the finances
and the trade of the islands began to
feel the quickening influence of the
combination of good crops and high
prices, together with the largess of
Congress in the way of appropriations,
has anyone been willing to say that
real estate had felt the effect in any
way But a banker is authority for
the statement that such effect is now
beginning to be felt, both in business
and residence property. And though
he did not care to have it assumed
that the effect went beyond the state
ment as he made it, that it was feel
ing the effect, he did not hesitate to
make that statement. One or two deals
of considerable Importance in DOWN
town real estate are all but completed,
but the parties do not care to be more
specific until all is closed.
HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL.
Hawaiian Commercial has led all
other stocks in the amount of money
involved in the transactions of the
month. six hundred and thirty-five
shares of it have changed hands, as
reported TO the Stock Exchange, the
lowest price being $50 share and the
highest S9e with $50 shares changing
hands on Friday at s95. While there
has been no official statement on the
subject. on authority almost as good
il NAV be stated that the dividend on
this stock will be increased from So

Wafluxu has always been steady and
