Found in o Pond.
Houston, Miss.-The body of the
Rev. w. T. Hudson, pastor of the
Baptist Church here, and n of the
most prominent ministers in this
State, was found riddled with buck.
shot. in a pond near Houston.
Hudson left his apartment in the
Houston Hotel, and when he did moi
return at nightfall search was insti.
tuted, which led to the discovery oil
the body. It was his custom to pre-.
pare his Sunday sermon when seated
under a tree near the pond, and it is
considered evident he was shot from
ambush when thus engaged.

This week has been a quiet one in
business circles, except in the holiday
retail trading caused by the Thanks
giving demand Only two business
deals of any great consequence have
been reported during the week-the
proposed taking over by I. II. Davies
& Company of the business of Lewis
& Company, and the purchase by f. A.
Schaefer s. Company of over 1900
shares of Pacific Sugar Mill, which deal
gives the purchasing firm control of
the plantation. Real estate shows no
indications as yet of recovering from
the state of apathy into which it fell
some weeks ago, and no large land
trades have been recorded. On the
stock exchange MeBryde continues to
be the active stock, Olaa following it,
as was to be expected. Fluctuations
or activity in one of these stocks is
always reflected in the other. Aside
from these two stocks, however, the
sugar stock market has been dull, with
little fuctuation in prices and COM
parativelv little trading. Bonds have
shown more activity.
A Mining Stock.
The most active stock in Honolulu
at present is the one that is not listed
on the exchange-Mountain King, a
California mining stock. Though most
of the brokers. being sugar stock men

Commercial Review

with little or no knowledge of mining
stocks, are a little afraid of this out
slider and refuse to handle it except
on orders from their customers, there
has been a great deal of trading in
Mountain King and the stock has jump
ed up rapidly during the past few
weeks. Some months ago it was sell
ing on the street here at as low as
twenty five and fifty cents a share.
Yesterday sales were made at $3.50.
What there is back of the stock few
of the traders seem to know, though
some who claim to have correct infor-
nation contend that the mine is a good
one and warrants the prices at which
the stock is now being sold. A cable
gram was received here yesterday stat
ing that 50 was being asked for Noun
tain King in San Francisco.
McBryde Is Strong.
On the stock exchange McBryde
opened Monday at 6.1215 and 1uctuat-
ed between that price and 600 the
early part of the week. About the
middle of the week it advanced to 6.25
and closed yesterday at the half, with
the demand active at that figure
Though the promised change of agency
has not yet been eonsummated, the pro-
posed change seems to have inspired
confidence in the stock and the brokers
believe that it will go still higher.
olaa Parallels McBryde.
The prices asked and bid for Olaa
during the week paralleled those for
McBrvde, but the trading in Olaa was
much less active than in the Kauai
plantation stock.
Oahu maintained one price, 32.75, all
week. with a moderate amount of trad
ing in small lots
Schaefer's Big Buy.
The big deal on the exchange was the
purchase by F. A. Schaefer & Com
panv of 1897 shares of Pacific Sugar
Mill at lis. F. A. Schaefer & Com
panv were already large holders of the
stock and the purchase of this big
block gives them the control.
Eva was inactive at $50, with an
advance yesterday to 3l.6212.
Higher Priced Stocks.
! A few shares of the higher priced
stocks came out during the week and
were promptly taken up by eager IN
vestors. There was almost no trading
in Paauhau, only five shares changing
| hands. but they sold AT 29.75, and 81
