A BUNDLE AUCTION.

An amusing pastime for a Halloween frolic is a
bundle auction. AS the boy and girl guests arrive
each one receives a little box, marked Magic
Beans from the Beanstalk- Keep them" The
boxes hold fifty dried beans apiece When all the
guests have arrived the lights are turned low and
witch appears. with a basketful Of small bundles
on her arm. The bundles vary in shape and size,
and are tied with bright ribbons Inside of each
IS g souvenir, Ike & little witch, a red devil, a
pumpkin or any pretty novelty. and also a
prophecy. The witch then auctions of the bundles,
and bids again after a bundle is knocked
down to him. When the auction is and the
souvenirs are examined they pinned TO coats
and dresses, and then each one reads aloud his
prophecy or fortune. This causes a lot Of merri-
ment. LURA 3. SMITH taged ID.

Stocks
Bonds
BY L. D. TlMMoNs

Things have been humming in stock
circles since yesterday, there being a
larger proportion of seekeds for stock
than for weeks past. Brokers have
had their hands full with street in
quiries and the session this morning
was quite lively. There is no boom
on, and no stock is bringing more
than it is worth. 1t is merely a case
of getting back to sane market CON
ditions.
McBryde appeared a trifc weaker
than many had expected of it, the cause
being that while the new deal with the
Makaweli people is almost certain to
go through, its good effects are not i'm
mediately at hand. A great point in
the McBryde- Maxwell deal will be the
fact that the former will get the bene-
fit of the latters surplus water. Be
tween boards so shares of McBryde
sold at $50, but there seemed no dis
position on the boards this morning
to go so high For instance, 10 shares
sold at Sc, followed by 10, 10, and Is
shares at $6.125. At the close of the
session Sc was bid and IS. 125 asked.
Olaa, which has come up with NC
Bryde, in the general boost Of cheap
stocks, sold between boards at Sc. so,
100 and 800 shares changing hands. On
the boards, however, it settled back,
45, TO-, 10, rs and shares finding puy-
ers at $6.125. At the close Sc was BID
and $6.25 asked.
Waialua also came up strong and it
looks like higher figures for next week.
Between boards 10 shares sold at S121.
On the boards 10 shares brought S121.-
so. Then IS, 10 and 5 shares sold at
1922. At the close of the session S121.-
so was bid and $122 so asked.

is now assured. Mr. Stanton feels
greatly encouraged over the outlook.

MERCHANTS, ASSOCIATION.

MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.
! At the meeting of the Merchants
Association held yesterday afternoon
the following resolution was introduced
and passed unanimously:
| Resolved. That the Merchants Asso-
citation recommends to the considera-
ton of the merchants of Honolulu the
plan of keeping their places of business
open certain evenings in the week for
the accommodation of the men serving
in the army and navy of the United
States.
, The rule is not mandatory, but mere
! ly makes it possible for such merchants
as desire to keep open without red-rag-
ging the custom of many years The
effect will probably be that most bust
ness houses will keep open a, part of
the evenings during December (many
of them would have done so anyway
and close tab will be kept on the
result. If it pays, some scheme OF
keeping open evenings at periods when
there are many soldiers in the city will
be considered.
One of the most important things
, done at the meeting was the adoption
of a resolution requesting that a part,
if not all of the Pacific fleet be allowed
to remain over here for the floral pa
rade.
The coastwise suspension matter was
preached by Manager Hertsche of the
Young and Moana hotels, but was re-
ferred to the directors and will be
made the special subject of discussion
at the next meeting.
