James F.. Morgan has issued a let

Commerce, urging the support of the
members of the commercial bodies to a
plan of erecting a home for the Cham

ing to cost $125,000 Probably a ma
jority of the members of the Cham

There are those, however, who feel
that such a building would be a ridi-
culous luxury, unless the stores of the
first floor could be leased in advance.
II is doubted that this could be done;
or, in view oil tire several available

Why. we can float out now. "


That expression was made by a pro-
minent merchant yesterday afternoon,
and when it's meaning is understood it
must be regarded as gratifying. Sew
eral gentlemen were discussing the
summers business. All were agreed
that times were as good as could be
expected Then came the questoion of
the future, which drew out the laconiC
remark above quoted. Yes, I'VE can
float out now" is doubtless the real
feeling of every live business man in
Honolulu today. Never mind what
the earlier months of the year had
held out in the way of promises, those
months have brought more than had
been expected unto the man who has
been alive, and has watched his oppor-
. tunities. A duh season has been turn
ed into a busy one and idle moments
into the golden sheaves of thrift.
And now that the deep water has
been left behind, the average merchant
may be excused for the feeling that
I'VE can float out now" He does not
have to float out He is out already.
The season to be dreaded by the bust
ness man is gone, and the dawn of the
busiest season Honolulu has ever
known is at hand.
Retail business curing the week has
held its own in splendid style. Dry
goods stores having what are known
as Bargain sales so common at this
season, report excellent business with
money quite easy. Standard houses
which have made no such splurges
have exceeded the averages of former
years. Among this number may be
mentioned w. W. Dimond & Company,
Hall q Sons, Jordan, Kerr, Sachs, En-
lers and others of the conservative,
though progressive, business class.
Money is plentiful and yet, with the
boom III stock dealing and the increas-
ing call for business and building pur-
poses, the banks have their hands quite
full. In fact, strange though it may
seem, with all the money there is in
Honolulu, the banks have had re-
cord season in the way of loans. While
a large part of this money is going into

viduals among the strikers have al

they are finding it about as hard to
obtain employment as here. Manager
Bull, of Oahu Sugar Company, stated
early in the week that he had 5000 la
borers at work at Notwithstanding

more by several hundreds than the
plantation could carry permanently,

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The stock market has shown excep-
tonal activity during the week This
was not entirety unexpected, as the
collapse of the strike ended the alarm
incident to the labor embroglio, just
as had been figured would be the case;
while the immediate return of the la
borers to the cane fields gave all the
assurance needed of satisfactory con-
ditions in the future. There were
more actual sales of Oahu stock than
any other, though the blocks as rule
were small This stock opened at $32
but was very strong and all offerings
were taken promptly. Toward the
last there was an advance OF IL 1-2
cents, at which some small lots were
sold. Waialua started at sos. drop
ped back to S1O7 so and even as low
as $107; but recovered later, many sales
being recorded at $1O9.. Eva opened
at $50. 80 but was gradually forced up
to $31 90. Kahuku appeared on the
market for a minute, a sale being
reported at $31 90; after which it dis
appeared again.
OF other islands stocks, Hawaiian
Commercial held the boards most OF
the time. This stock opened at
$33 40, at which a number of sales
were made; and then, without any APP
parent reason, dropped back to $33 25

"PINEAPPLES FROM CUBA.
Consul General James L. Rodgers,
of Habana, under date of July Z, suo-
mits the following report upon the
pineapple industry of Cuba, which
finds its market exclusively In the
United States.
The pineapple industry is the di-
rect result of an American demands
for the product. 1t is not Cuban in
the sense OF ownership, nor of cul-
tivation, the participation of the ma
tives being so small in both relations
as to he practically inconsequential
The American market demanding a
large and steady source of supply, Am
erican capital was invested with that
of the Spanish growers, with the re-
suit that today nearly all the pineap-
pie plantations are owned by Ameri-
cans and Spaniards and worked by
them, although at extremely busy sea-
sons Cubans are employed to some ex-
tent.
The product of these plantations
which are located within easy rail or
road haul of Habana, is Furthermore
, carried almost exclusively to Ameri-
can markets by American ships, and
furnishes perhaps the best freight
emanating from Cuba.
The buy season usually runs from
February to July, although pineapples

year ended July 80 was 1868 ,466 crates

the Munson line, 114,SO7 u New Or
