COMMERCE. al News

Stocks

BY L. D. TIMMoNs

The session of the Stock Exchange
this no rning was quite lively, al
though transactions were small. The
market as a whole showed yigor, al
though there was notable shying
from some stocks that were quite ac-
tive short time ago When the
board opened a number of street
sales were reported-these extending
over the period since noon on Friday.
On the street and on the board
Waialua appeared strong at SIG.
Sales of 5, 5, 30, IS and shares az
that figure were reported and sale
of shares at the same was made.
Bidding on Change was at $115. rs,
while holders were demanding $116.-
%.
Oahu was still strong at $32. Be
tween boards 80 shares changed
hands at that figure, and on the
boards this morning 20, 80, so, 20 and
50 were sold in quick succession at
the same. At the close bidding was
at S31.75, the stock being held at
1872.
Between boards 20 Haiku sold at
1920. The same was offered for more,
but there was no stock in sight at
that figure.
Five shares of Onomea sold be-
tween boards at $51. On the boards
the figures were $50 and SOL so ask
ed.
Twelve shares of o. r. & L. Co.
sold at $134. so. Bidding was at
$134, holders asking $135.
Eva showed up on the boards a
trife lively, so, 25, 20 and 5 shares
selling at $31 1876. Holders were
still demanding that figure this af-
ternoon, the bidding, however, being
at $S1.

ing report onomea at $51. SO and Ha-

quotations are the same as on Satur-
day.

COTTON CONDITIONS.

The following report of cotton crop
conditions, sent out from New Orleans
on September 3, should be OF great
interest to local cotton growers:
Hesterfs figures of the crop OF 1908
90 were read few minutes after the
market closed and created quite a
sensation. Mr.. Hester makes the crop
13,S25, 900, or about $4,000 bales more
than even extremists figured as prob
able. Southern consumption is plac-
ed at 100000 bales No other ng-
ures of consumption are given, but in
asmuch as the visible supply is now
only about 100000 more than at the
corresponding period last year, it is
safe to assume that the consumption
will total something like 13,4o0,000
bales; and this, in the face of a state
of trade struggling during the early
half of the year with the depressing
effects of the panic of 1907.
How much the world will consume
when trade is fast approaching boom
period and when every industry is ex-
periencing the electrifying influence of
sanguine optimism will depend largely
upon the price. Estimates range from
13,55O,OO to 14,OOO,OOO bales Taking
the inside figures, however, the world
seems confronted with the menace OF
cotton famine not equaled since the
civil war. What price will express
thiG state Of affairc tha hO1daGt nrODhat

MONEY FOR SAILORS.

Next Saturday about S160,000 will
be paid to the men on the ships of the
Pacific fleet now in this port. Each
of the eight ships gets approximately
100000. The money for the purpose
is already in the strong box of Ad-
miral Sebree's flagship, having been
taken aboard at San Francisco. This
large sum will give all the sailors am
pie spending money for the remainder
of their stay here, and it is needless
to say that the theaters, small dealers
and livery stables will reap a harvest.

1000 PELLAGRA CASES
wilmington Doctor Says Only One
County in North Carolina Is Free
From Disease.

Wilmington, Aug. 2s.-At the
seventh annual convention of the
State Nurses Association of North
Carolina, the closing session of which
was held yesterday afternoon, DR.. E.
]. Wood, of this city, made a splen-
did talk on pellagra, the compare
lively new disease which is claiming
considerable Of the time of DR. Wood
and DR.. Harlee Bellamy. DR.. Wood
made the startling statement that
there are no less than 1000 cases of
pellagra in North Carolina at the pre-
sent time, there being only one
county, Onslow, that has so far es-
capped the disease. Why that county
should be favored above all others is
mystery, but it is a fact, said the
speaker, that the disease has been
discovered to the border lines of the
county, but none in the county.
In the beginning the speaker trac-
ed very interestingly the origin of
the disease so far as the records
show. The first mention of it was
In Europe in 1875 and was known as
form of leprosy. 1t subsequently,
spread throughout Europe. In 1893
the first case in this country was dis
covered in New York city.
The speaker is one of the few who
maintain that pellagra is not caused
from Indian corn. He and DR.. Bella
my are conducting series of expert
ments and they hope to be able in
snort time to clear the good name of
corn. DR.. Wood declared that nella-
era was second in Importance only to
tuberculosis and that the situation
was daily growing more serious.

A WEAK LAW.

But Attorney General Advises An
other.

st. Matthews, August 29.-The
thirsty. sinners were very much dis
appointed that the dispensary did not
open yesterday on schedule time, but
were somewhat pacified when the an
nouncement was made late in the af-
ternoon that the doors of the G. M. I.
would swing wide Monday morning at
the rising Of the sun. The long
drought has been somewhat exasper-
ating to the poor and needy, especial
ly, who have been subsisting luxuri-
ously upon their haif-pint of No. X
"oooze" at ten cents. The shekels
were not forthcoming to order and
the blind tigers had not established
their lairs at home Pursuant to n
ruling by prominent firm of alb
stemious lawyers in the city of Or
angeburg, that the proper officers
were legally justified in nabbing whis-
key, for personal use, after II left the
express office, the prohibitionists got
busy and bombarded Sheriff Dantzler
TO proceed against the offenders, as
there was abundant evidence around
the express office. The sehriff real
lied that his course, in this matter,
lay along lane of clubs, legally and
otherwise, but he was not the man to
back down from duty. AS a precau-
tion, however, he called up Attorney
General Lyon for explicit instructions.
and was advised not to interfere, un-
less there were suspicious of Illicit
dealing. The haggard and anxious
expression on the face of Calhoun's
conscientious sheriff rapidly gave way
TO the peaceful smile which fingers
long and is kind. The st. Matthew's
dispensary Is now stocked with $12.-
600 worth of liquors and beers, with
$4,000 stock at Fort Motto.

GARETTE INTO FUSE BOX:
Dynamite Goes or Under Group of
Workman at BOcacchaca ON Florida
East Coast Railway.

Key West, Aug. 27.-As a result of
the explosion at noon today of 700
pounds of dynamite at Bocacchaca, -
miles from Key West. on the Florida
East Coast railway, 12 men are dead,
five others probably fatally wounded
and at least dozen others less Sc
riously injured. The explosion was
caused by a member of the railroad
construction force carelessly throwing
lighted cigarette into a box Of fuses.
Nine Of the workmen me-. instant
death and a tenth died while being
brought to the hospital. The men
were hurled high into air and the
bodies Of the dead were almost be-
yond recognition. arms and legs be-
ing torn from the bodies of some,
while the faces of others were mere
masses Of flesh.
When the explosion occurred the
workmen were standing in water four
feet 6eep and directly beneath them
was the 700 pounds Of dynamite,
ready for the blast when the men
should stop work for dinner.
According to one of the wounded, a
workman--one Of nine to meet in
slant death-threw a lighted cigarette
to one side. not noticing that it fell
into the box containing the fuses
which were connected with the heavy
charge of explosives beneath them. A
few seconds and the men water, mud
and tons Of dirt were thrown 70 to
80 feet in the air.
Tugs at once brought the dead and
more seriously wounded to this city,
the latter being placed in the Louise

Late this afternoon six more of the
more seriously injured were brought
to the hospital here. The injuries are
not considered fatal.

IMPORTANT DECISION RENDER
ED. BY SUPREME COURT.
New York Life's Contentious as to
Payment of Taxes Sustained-By
the Decision the State Will Lose
$4,000 or $50, 900 in Back Taxes.

Columbia, August 28.-A case of
grave Importance to the State was
settled by the Supreme Court today.
The court afflrms the opinion of the
lower Court in the famous insurance
case-that of the New York Life In
surance Company VS.. w. T. Bradley,
as treasurer Of Abbeville County. The
effect Of the decision is a victory for
the insurance company, which sued
for taxes paid under protest to the
treasurer Of Atbeville under an Act
of the Legislature. The case itself is
small one as regards the amount in
volved-$171.35-but upon this base
hinges all the other insurance cases
that are hanging fire in the courts.
The matter altogether involves an
amount of $4,000 to $4,000 to the
State of South Carolina in back taxes.
1t Is not thought that the decision
In the present case win affect the sew
eral hundred thousand dollars in back
taxes. but only those taxes which
were paid under protest, as in the Alb
beville case. Other insurance cases
are now in the courts touching the
constitutionality Of the recent Insur-
ance Act OF the Legislature. In these
cases Attorney T. Moultrie Mordecai,
Of Charleston, appeared recently be-
fore the Supreme Court. In the Abb
beville case the we'll known attorney,
James H. Mcintosh. of New York, was
associated. The Abbevile case is in
the nature of test Of the law.
