exchange en- Monday last, this stock
sold as high as 32.25, falling off during
the day to 3175. On Tuesday, after
the regular two per cent. dividend had
been declared, the decline kept up,
sales being made at Sl.25, with further
offerings at that figure and 31.125 of
fered. On Wednesday the bids fell to
30.75, with no takers, while on Thurs
day several small lots were cleaned out,
the price dropping by eighths to even
thirty, closing with more offered at
the lowest sale price and 29.S75 bid.
On Friday, between boards, a sale at
1915 was made, but the price ruled
thirty during the day, with nine small
blocks traded. Yesterday, after five
between boards sales at thirty had
been made, one block of ten set the
closing price for the week at 1925.

Commercial Business Little Affected.
Beyond the fact that some of the
commission men and wholesalers are
restricting credits among the japanese
and finding difficulty in securing set
| Elements from the japanese retailers.
the general business situation is little
affected. The daily cash outlay of be-
| tween S2400 and $4,000 a day in strike
| breakers wages, all OF WHICH IS coming
into quick circulation in the city, is
/ helping the small dealers other than
the Japanese. The usual unemployed
and those who have left less profitable
employment for the plantations fields
have ready money for their daily sup
plies and are making much use OF 1t.
As a singular commentary on the rela-
ton between steady employment and
drinking. it is reported that the saloons
| are doing less business today among
| the Hawaiians and Porto Ricans than
thew did when these laborers were max
ing on an average only half what they
do now. The men are too busy after
their dollar and a half a day 20 be
able to waste time around the saloons.
Pineapple Men Satisfied.
The members of the Hawaiian Pine
apple Association held their annual
meeting yesterday, the reports of the
situation being bright. 1t was resolved
to continue the extensive advertising
! campaign being carried on throughout
| the United States, an advertising on
broad lines The results OF the cam
naign have been entirely satisfactory
tn 4he hackers, a demand for Hawai-
ian mines having been created that en-
snres prosperity for the industry for
wears to come, provided the constant
| hammering at the consumers is kept up
| along the admirable lines of the past
six months. The officers of the past
wear were all reelected.

The Kahaluu Pineapple Company,

tai of 100000.
