up? It expects a much larger crop
than last year, and prices are much
better Some influence must be act
ing; the stock has advanced in bid
to $50 with no sellers.
PAAUHAU FALLS BACK.
The expected increased dividend Of
Paauhau has not yet been announced,
and as a result the stocH has fallen
back. A large surplus must be aecu-
muIating, and will either be carried
forward to next year or paid out to
stockholders in special or increased
| dividends.
oLAA AND M'BRYDE.
But little interest seems to be cen
tered in Olaa and McBryde although
both expect very large crops next year.
SAN FRANCISCO STOCK MARKET.
There is a feeling that to the stock
market in San Francisco is due the
stagnation and lac1~of interest taken
in the stock market here. A glance
at the stock sheets published here and
in San Francisco clearly shows that
Hawaiian stocks can be obtained more
readily and at lower prices in San
| Francisco than they can be had
| here.
THE SUGAR MARKET.
Comparing sugar prices of last year
with those of this year would indicate
| that they are acting in about the
| same manner as regards fluctuations,
but on an average, the prices this
year have been about $12 a ton high
1 Al. ThA Shap Af
| sugar so far has been felt only in an
| anticipative way, but with the Cuban
season nearing it's end with a great
shortage and large fruit crop a real
| ity, higher sugar prices are inevitable
and it is believed the advance on
| Thursday was the beginning.
oAHU's INCREASE.
One of the largest increases over
| crops of last year is that of Oahu
which is expected to yield $500 tons
| as against $500 last year. There is
| strong rumor current, widely credit
ed. that the Oahu Sugar Company
dividend will be greatly increased very
| soon.
RUBBER COMPANY ASSESSMENT.
! The Nahiku Rubber Company has
called in an assessment of two per
cent on it's assessable stock.
The company is listed on the stock ex-
change and there is nominal quota
| ton of 81 asked for the assessable
stock, 81 per cent being paid in. The

GARFIELD'S VIEWS.
Secretary Garfield after two weeks
LII he NET
on Monday Before leaving he gave
expression to convictions on two sub
iects that are of the utmost ;mpor-
lance to Hawaii. He expressed the
hope of being able to undertake IN
Hawaii a great reclamation scheme
such as are now going on in the main
land, whereby the resources of public
lard and public water could be brought
together to make available homes Tor
Americans where prosperity to the
individual would follow his industry,
and benefit to the Territory would fol
low from the increase of citizens IN
its population.
The other point on which he ex-
pressed a positive conviction was that
citizen labor must be secured for the
industries of the islands.
