The stock market was remarkably
firm, with all stocks tending upward.
The only sensational advance, however,
was that OF Onomea, which, starting at
!. $50 AT the beginning of the week,
jumped rapidly to 81. Yesterday, how
ever. the stock fell suddenly to g. or
lower on the San Francisco market. the
drop being reflected here. with indica-
tions that the drop was largely artificial,
engineered by Coast dealers who were
trying to get Honolulu holdings at less
than actual value and were trying to
crowd the price down.
After the market closed Yesterday,
however, advices from San Francisco
sent the stock back nearly to where it
was before the drop, and orders could
not be filed at less than SO, at which
price POO shares changed hands, leav-
ing orders still untitled at that figure
The advance in Onomea was caused
principally by San Francisco orders,
said to he caused by rumors of large
stock dividend. Onomea is capitalized
at 81, 600 900; it is said to be the inten-
ton to increase the capitalization to
the limit allowed by the charter. which
would bring it up to 81, 800 .000-with
a possibility of the charter being amend
ed to allow of an even greater increase.
There are also rumors of a substantial
cash dividend.
Honokaa at Par.
Honokaa for the first time in years
sold up to par, sales after the session
of the exchange being from 1915 to
20. The prosperous condition of both
these plantations is supposed TO be
largely the cause of their advance in
price It is also probable that Honokaa
will pay dividend after the first of
the year.
All Stocks Firm.
All other stocks were firm and none
of them receded during the week. The
heaviest seller was Onomea, 1856 share;
of the stock changing hands during the
week Most of this went TO San Fran
cisco buyers, who were merely buying
back at higher price, stock which they
disposed of on the Honolulu market
a short time ago.
Oahu Active.
Oahu was active and advanced slight
ly-from 1925 to 3275. BcBryde tol
lowed it, going from 4.371a to $50 Will,
Olaa kept even pace with MeBryde
advancing from $50 to 56232.
Waialua Up.
Waialua was unusually active and ad
vanced materially the end price being
121 as against an opening price for the
week of 117.50 Eva went to 81 ever
while Honokaa advanced from 1887

also put in a statement from seven users of the service in WOodstocks stating that they were well satisfied with the present arrangements and opposed the granting of the rights the company seeks. He also put in a res- olution from the local grange against it.
 Judge A. McC. Mathewson of New Haven. a former Woodstock resident who still holds property in the town and has a mother and a stepson liy- ing there. who also own property ap- peared to oppose the measure with all his strength because Woodstock has natural resources and the ability to develop electric power on her own &C., count and should not have her rights taken away thus ruthlessly He put iD a petition against the bill from his relatives there.
 Leonard H. Healey of the state board of agriculture and state master of the grange, opposed the measure on the same grounds and also because the company would pay no taxes to Wood stock.
 "The people of woodstock don't want to deed their town rights away" said Dr. Joseph Spaulding, chairman of the board of selectmen.
 C. M. Perrin stated to the commit tee that the light and power company cared nothing for the ordinary user of electric light in Woodstock, but only fused others service.

'''nam Light and Power Company.
Woodstock People UnaIterably Opposed to the Com pany Entering that Town for Purpose of Furnish ing Light and Power.

[ been operating in the town for three years and had never realized a profit Its income from its Woodstock sales for the year of 1908 was but SS10, and f. paid one man nearly all of that, SC that no local company could afford to build plant and run a service for what 1t could get from the town of Woodstock. which MT. Carpenter stat ed had fallen off 80 per cent. in its population in recent years. Further no local company could afford to run twenty-four hours a day, which the company could because of the amount of service it gave outside of Wood stock.
 Attorney c. S. Melony of Willi- mantle, who appeared for the town, asked him regarding the Bowen con- tract, and this brought out more clear ly just how the company stood with the selectmen. MT. Lyle showed the paper which the concern has from the selectmen in the Bowen case. He said that the company had in every case secured the approval of ahutttng prop erty owners.
 In answer to MT. Melony's questions MT. Lyle stated that MT. Bowen paid for SO much of his line as wa5 on pri- vate property, his property but for nothing that was on the highway. and that he guaranteed the company q rninimum of S2O0 a year for the serv- ice. This minimum is reduced by whatever amount the company col lects from other subscribers on this line.
 Woodstock's protest came in full measure when Mir. Melony opened it's side of the case. He stated that it was his information that Mir. Bowen had paid all the cost of running line out to him and others had done the same, so that if the company were re- quired to leave woodstock with no notice 1t would not be out a cent. Mir. Carpenter said this wasn't so.
 Very well" continued Mir. Melony. Thompson and Pomfret asked this company to come to them and it came. Very charitable and nice. Woodstock only wants 1t to stay away and it in- sists on coming despite the fact that two years ago it had to drop the mat ter. Woodstock has no objection to the private arrangements of the com pany with users of it's service. It may serve whenever it pleases and can and the selectmen will always be found very ready. as in the past, to give the necessary permission. But woodstock insists that there shall be no creation of vested rights"
 He put fin five different petitions, signed in all by 94 people from all parts of Woodstock, protesting against the passage of this amendment He

Especial to The Bulletin.)


 Hartford, March 1.-The people of the town of woodstock are unaltera- biy opposed to the desire of the Put nam Light & Power Co.'S being given an amendment to its charter which will give 1t the right to come into their town for the purpose of furnishing light and power. They opposed this same thing two years ago ana snc- ceeded then in getting it killed or and were in attendance in force on the hearing before the committee on interpretations on the McKachnie bill amending the charter of the Putnam concern as indicated.
 7 It transpired that the Putnam Light X Power CO. has gone into the towns of Thompson and Pomfret at the re- quest of the citizens of those towns Iand has had it's charter amended so as to permit of that. There are sev- eral wealthy summer residents in the southern part of the town of Wood stock who desired electric light and power, and they made arrangements with the Putnam concern to furnish 1t. Clarence Bowen was the first of these and before he could make a con- tract with the company he was obliged to get from the Woodstock selectmen writing giving the company permis- sion to bring it's lines into woodstock. Others followed his example and the lines ran into Woodstock a couple of miles.
 Now the light and power company comes to. the general assembly in the effort to get the right to go into the town placed fin its charter and thus render 1t independent Of the selectmen of the town. John r. Carpenter of Putnam appeared for the company and described the situation in which it finds itself He said 1t had sixteen customers in woodstock. six of whom bought electric power also for pump ing water and other purposes. The company Is, however. at the mercy of the selectmen of the town, who can revoke the permission and tell 1t to get out of woodstock at a moments rotice. Any customer, even, who might be aggrieved at the size of his bill could pray out an injunction against the company and put it out of business so far as Woodstock was concerned.
 He asked Treasurer Lyle of the company, who had come from Provi- dence for the hearing. to tell the committee further about the matter. MT Lyle made it appear a matter of great good will On the part of the con- cern to good into Woodstock and not at all a matter of immediate profits or even profits in the near future. Indeed he said that the company had

Worry.

The approach of April 1 is causing some uneasiness in Wall street, as on that day the three years agreement be- tween the coal operators and their em- ployes expires. This agreement was made after the great strike of 1905-O6. The mild winter has left big surplus of coal in the hands of the operators. There has been some talk in the coal regions of demand by the unions for higher scale of wages, and it has been suggested that the coal operators might take advantage of their strong position to refuse the demands of the miners. The situation is sufficiently unsettled to cause some liquidation in Reading and the other anthracite coal st t5cbs.-Meriden Journal.
