should come to pass. The strike has
not been broken, but it has certainly
made no Roadway during the week.
And in making no Roadway, it has lost
ground, for the reason that the day has
been brought nearer when the strikers
must work to live.
The strike has not affected the stock
market nearly as much as might easily
have been expected. For instance,
with the turmoil in the labor camps of
several plantations of this island, moth
ing short of a frolic of the bears was to
be looked for. But nothing of the
kind has happened. Oahu, which was
expected to be struck the worst, weak
ened slightly on Wednesday and Thurs
day; but the appearance in the field on
the latter date of a rich brokerage con-
Germ, with customers for all Oahu offer
ed had the effect of instantly reviving
that stock and starting it again upon
the upgrade. On Tuesday Oahu paid
dividend of two per cent, which was
regarded a.. healthy indication for a
mid-strike season. Waialua and Eva
both wavered slightly during the week,
but the variations were not greater
than have frequently been encountered
in more settled times. Other stocks
have remained practically unchanged.
Stock sales during the week have
been as follows:

c Commercial Review

That the strike situation has been
such as to cause a depressing effect
upon business in the past week must
be admitted. OF course this is the
dull season. and marked falling off
in trade was to be expected; but over
lines of commercial enterprise have
accomplished as much during the
week as there was every ordinary cause
to expect. Japanese dealers and whole
salers having to do with plantation
stores on Oahu, have been the hardest
hit. Nearly all the country shopkeep-
ers hold accounts against the strikers,
which they cannot collect This in
turn has piled up bad accounts upon
the wholesalers and the latter have, in
consequence, been forced to scrutinize
closer than ever before such orders for
merchandise as have come in from
the country.
Shipping to the other islands, how
ever, has not fallen off. In fact the
week in this class of trade has been
unexpectedly good, averaging above
that for the corresponding week OF
last year. A few of the shippers so
so far as to say that what they have
lost in Oahu business, on account of
the strike situation, they have made
up in enlarged orders from the other
Islands, particularly Maui and Hawaii.
On the other hand, again, retail bust
ness, in the larger stores, has suffered
a pronounced and unexpected set back.
Beginning almost with the opening
hour Monday morning the retail stores
ran into dull business and the depres-
sion has continued ever since. The
sudden slump was accounted for in
various ways. In general, it was
charged up to the strike; but no one
seemed to have clear ideas as to how
the strike would or could produce such
a sudden and positive relapse in strict
ly European or American retail bust
ness activity. The warm weather has
had its effect upon the routine OF shop
ping, of course. But the principal cause
of the depression may be, as several
retailers insist-the strike, or, rather,
the business nervousness created by it.
There are few thingc in the world so
shy as money. 1t seeks its hole at
every alarm, false or real; and makes
bold to come out only when the finan-
cial skies are unclouded. The strike
alarm was all sufficient for such right
about, and the bang of purses followed
with military precision.
Such a condition cannot last, how
ever, unless, indeed, something entire
ly beyond reasonable calculations

c. r. Smith, the wealthy Lowndes
county planter sentenced to serve q life
term in the penitentiary for the murder
of E. A. Laurent, q Nashville travelling
man, is now wearing the stripes of .
felon at the Rankin convict farm.
Smith reached the Rankin farm from
Columbus, in custody of Travelling Ser
geant Marshall, and was turned over to
the sergeant, who had him carefully
measured and described, and then pro.
vided with = ready-made suit Of prison
stripes.
Smith Is q farmer, having made prac.
tically all of his fortune at agricultural
pursuits, and, therefore, ought to be a
prisoner of exceptional value to the
State, if his talents are properly EN-.
ployed.
Thus far no steps have been taken by
counsel for the prisoner to carry the case
to the United States supreme court, and
it is doubtful whether an action of this
kind will be attempted. Attorneys for
Smith have no assurance that Chief JUS.
tice Whitfield, who rendered the dissent.
ing opinion, would grant a writ of error,
and even if it were possible to take an
appeal the chances are decidedly against
any possibility that a combination OF
personal and political influence could in.
duce Gov. Noel to grant q pardon to
the celebrated prisoner.
