A MILLIONAIRE FACTORY.
Hawaii Turning Out Men of Millions by
 the Score.

There are probably more self-made millionaires residing in Honolulu than in any city twice It's size on the mainland According to Van Norden's Magazine. there are scores tof millionaires made and in the making of Hawai-.
 Men of moderate means last spring be- came by fall men of great wealth after the sugar crop had been marketed. Small planters of pineapples of a tew seasons ago are men of high finance to- day, expending hundreds of thousands of dollars annually advertising their out put that was not worth a tenth of that sum all told ten years ago.
 The men of Hawaii who have created opportunities for themselves create op- portunities for others. Alexander Young, the many time millionaire of Honolulu, came to Hawaii poor man, worked hard, helped organize and conduct the Honolulu Iron Works, which now makes sugar machinery to be shipped to every quarter of the globe, retired from hard labor and built as his monument a hotel that is equal to any in appointment found in London or New York and with roof garden more spacious than any on the continent. He is content that he has lost a million maintaining this public palace, for 1t is a credit to Alexander Young and Honolulu. It's building set new pace and the business city of wood was practically rebuilt in stone and marble.

Fine cottons are very strong.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, August 2S.-(Special)-The demand from Manchester has become ac- tive in Liverpool, where the largest pro- portion of the visible supply now remains. As the staple and character of this cot ton Is much superior to the cotton now coming in spinners seek to secure 1t rather than buy distant deliveries. Ac- counts from the crop in Alabama and north Georgia are becoming very poor as the effect of the recent hot weather after the rainy weather of July is bring ing about a rapid deterioration. In fact the weather is unfavorable for the crop over the largest portion of the cotton belt. But the price Is thought by the trade to be so high that 1t is timid in face of revival in Europe Today's ad- vance was small as the demand from Europe was met by selling from Wall street of cotton bought after the last Du- reau report. Although the market slow ly advances the belief In a decline as the receipts come in, no matter how small the crop may ultimately be, is heard on every side. Our American spinners are waiting for this decline.

FICTION ON THE CONTINENT.
France and Germany Differ Decidedly
 In Matter of Novels,

For anyone who cares to compare the souls of two peoples by their contempo- rary fiction, it is highly instructive to glance at the novels which are now be- ing published in France and Germany. Our neighbors across the channel are concerned with politics, satires prob- lens, feminism. the army and the church, socialism. and know not what, but the love story pure and simple, whether of a regular or irregular nature, is rarely touched upon by the living mas ters of fiction. Unless the scene is laid in Japan, in Constantlnople. in ancient Greece, or in a minor German court, the grand passion Is not considered interest ing enough to form the theme of work of art. The loves of modern French men and women are left to the purveyors of cheap feuilletons for the halfpenny news papers. Even their plays are largely con- cerned with the romance of high finance with divorce and the children, and such like practical matters. Recently a suc- cessful play was given in Paris which was entirely concerned with school boys, the scene being laid in provincial lycee.-
 The German book market, on the other hand, seethes with fiction dealing with love- The Ernester Liebhaben has lost nothing of his ancient popularity, and the modern Gretchen is very wit as eager to throw over the world for the chosen one. Indeed, so extravagantly do these young amorists behave that their affairs usually end with dire disaster; yet 1t Is a moro hopeful sign in a nation when their young are interested in love stories than when, like the sad and somber French, the fundamental facts of ex- istence no longer appeal to the genera tion which is to hand on the torch of life.

CHANGE IN
 COTTON MARKET Opening Is Steady With SmaI
 Advance In Price DULLNESS HTS MARKET Better Crop Accounts From States East of the Mississippi Cause
 Reaction and Close With
 ont Material Nkaaca
DULLNESS HTS MARKET

New Orleans, August 2s.-Spot cotton firm, unchanged, middling. 12ssc Sales on the spot, 125 bales; to arrive, 22.
 Futures opened steady at an advance of 1 to points on a slight advance in the contract market in Liverpool. which was somewhat better than looked for. After the call the advance was widened to 4 to points as the result of buying, based on heavy trading on the spot in the English market After the middling of the session the market became very dull and under the dullness and a moderate amount of liquidation from the long side prices sagged off until the active de- liveries were unchanged to points lower than yesterdays closing. Rather better crop accounts from points east of the Mississippi river did more than anything else toward causing the longs to 1lqui- date.
 Futures this week show a net advance over last week of a quarter of a cent. the more active deliveries showing net gains of 25 and 26 points. This is the result of rather extensive short covering and buying for long account of specula- tors In Wall street, Chicago and Eu- rope. The south took an insignificant part in this movement. Buying was based principally on expectations of a bullish government report on the condi- tion of the crop on August 25. On Friday the market took on a good advance on the National Ginners' condition report of 64.4 per cent.
 A feature of the week was the free movement of new cotton, especially in Texas and Georgia. Both sides watched carefully for signs of pressure to sell spots, but the supply appeared equal to the demand.
 In the spot department quotations ad- vanced one-eighth of a cent, middling being 1928 cents. Sales during the week amounted to 765 bales, against SIP last week. Sales to arrive totaled TOT bales, against 10S last week.

STOCK MARKET IS
 IN GOOD SHAPE Union Pacific Rallies Sharply Followed By Others MANY HARTMAN RUMORS
It Appears That the Stock Market Has Been Sifted Out and Will Rally in Spite of MT. Har-
 riman's Condition.
BY c. c. sHoTWELL.

New York, August 2S.-(Special)- Strength of the steel shares and weakness of the Hartman stocks characterized trading in Wall street today Union Pa cific broke points from the closing figure of Friday, but Steel refused to budge. The strength of steel got on the nerves of traders finally and they began cov- ering their commitments in other direc- tions. The result was sharp rally in, Union Pacific and fairly strong close of the entire market.
 E. H. Harrimans health was the thing most generally considered in the making of prices. Contradictory rumors came from Arden, where he lies sick, and him clothed and walking about the grounds to dead after an operation. Con servatve bankers feel that by Monday something definite will be learned from the financier. There is a growing sus- picion that MT. Hartman has purposely refused to give the public any informa- ton lest the conspirators in the Union Pacific board get some relief from the predicament in which their absurd att  pany among the preferred stockholders has placed them.
 A bank statement, showing a material increase in loans, attracted some atten- tion after the close on the part of small traders. The important interests, how ever, realized the uselessness of the bank statement as a true condition of the money market. Some great industrial trusts have great sums of cash on hand which they lend through the banks but not to be recorded in the bank state- ment. The bank statement Is a matter of technical interest only without any bearing whatever on the money market.
 Brokers who watch the loan crowd carefully said after the close that the stock market has not been in such splen- did condition since the rise began months ago. Buying was of the best character and a sharp advance all along the line Is expected to follow any bad news from Hartman Monday. Harriman's closest associates have liquidated on account of the Union Pacific preferred pool and this has put them in position to take care of the market in the event of Harriman's death.
 Number of shares sold today 561 1,340, against 399 O06. Par value of bonds sold today s1,S02,000, against $2,10f,v0o a year ago.

WHEAT PRICES
 TURN DOWNWARD Armour Forces Are Turning Loose September Purchases LOWER PRICES EXPECTED
Reports of Rain Over Wide Sections of the Corn Belt Cause Recessions In Price-oats Close Low
 CT, Provisions Higher.
BY J. F. PRITCHARD.

Chicago, August 2S.-(Specia1 )-Many people in the world are afraid of alcohol some are afraid of water, but J. Ogden Armour is afraid of wheat. The latter fact was demonstrated today when President George E. Marcy of the Armour Grain company ordered halt in the buying of the September future and all because 800 cars of real wheat are expected to loom up on the Minnea- polls inspection sheet Monday morning
 The Armour concern led the trade in the buying of September wheat Friday and early Saturday, but after the bulge today it allowed the trade to get out as best 1t could.
 This is considered legitimate in specu- lation whether it is in stocks, grains, pro- visions, or, in fact, any commodity traded in on the great trade marts of the world
 Henry Slaughter, one of the most con- servative wheat specialists known to the trade. hit the nail squarely on the head tonight when he said September would zee a big movement of winter wheat and with the spring wheat movement added to 1t there will be more wheat press- ing for sale than the domestic trade will care to absorb and unless an extraor- dinary export trade develops to take care of the accommodating surplus, MT. Slaughter believes that we will see much lower prices.
 There were net losses in wheat today of A@%c and this took place in the absence of any great bear pressure And this in the face of gains of 5s@&c in futures in Liverpool
 Paris was unchanged to 19c lower; flour was 1Ao better to 1ac off; in Berlin wheat gained 11kc; Buenos Ayres was changed to 1Ac higher and Antwerp and Budapest were unchanged.
 There were recessions of %0%o in corn prices today.
 There were rains reported over wider section of the corn belt than at any time since the dry spell started and prices were influenced accordingly The Buenos Akres market was ssc lower; Liverpool spot was unchanged to 14d, while futures were unchanged to Esd lower.
 The shorts in oats supplied their wants pretty thoroughly Friday and as con- sequence prices yielded easily on sell ing by local cash houses and hedging sales by commission houses. The close was ssQAo lower for the day. Cash prices were steady to Ao higher.
 Early buying of lard and ribs for near by months. led by packing interests gave a moderate advance to the list Part of the advance was lost on scattered sell ing, some of 1t influenced by the action in corn.
