A BOSTON VIEW Of
TRADE SITUATION

BOSTON, May 14.-Most important of
the weeks development from a bust
ness standpoint was the government
report on grain conditions. Crop pros
poets form basis for future CONNER
cial activities, the extent of which IS
little realized. Good crops spell pros
perity for every kind of industry, di-
rectly and indirectly. The abundant
crops of the past dozen years are the
foundation of our present commercial
structure of which we are wont to
boast. Consequently when the fig
ures presented by the government as
to crop conditions as of May 1 pro-
mise a record breaking wheat crop
this year the industries of the coun-
try naturally are given a new impetus.
Men of affairs are encouraged to ven
ture into larger undertakings and APP
prehension of slackening in business
is dissipated. Greater confidence has
been manifested in business and COM
mercial circles since the government
crop report was issued than has been
expressed in many weeks and it is be-
lieved now that the recent period of
hesitancy and uncertainty will be
readily dispelled.
Another recent feature which has
lent encouragement to conditions. in
America is the revival of foreign in
vestment interest in our securities.
There has been a heavy demand a.
broad for our stocks and bonds. For
eign capitalists are entertaining more
confidence regarding American pro-
perties than was formerly the case.
This is particularly true in France,
where recently large amounts of

of war, their knowledge would not
be to our advantage.
THE GLAD MAY-DAY

May day was originally celebrated
that Sunday school teachers might go
out into the woods and eat ham sand
witches and wade around in snow
drifts. We celebrate it now for var
ious other reasons.
When the first of May arrives you
can feel reasonably safe in pawning
your winter overcoat and redeeming
your summer watch.
One ton of coal more will last you
through the season. If it doesn't buy
two.
The pumps in the farmers well
have thawed out and the icicles have
melted off the cows tail.
Most or all of the state legislatures
have adjourned and there is no more
chance for vote selling.
The spring lamb makes his appear
ance in the fields, and the old rams
on our breakfast tables.
If your landlady is going to raise
your rent she does it on the first Of
May and so you have the plaguy thing
off your mind
You can walk in the back yard and
begin to see green things. The
change from the red tables on tomato
cans is alone worth a celebration.
All cellars need whitewashing at
time, and you might as well clean
house and have it over with.
Any little notes coming due at the
bank on May first will help to remind
us Of the date
On this date the snowshovel can be
packed in mothballs and laid away
until next December. There will pro-
badly be more snow, but you can let
your neighbor clean away.
When comes into the matter, he
finds scores of reasons why we should
welcome and celebrate the day, and
chief one, prehaps, is because April
Fool has passed.

OLD ESTIMATE OF
NATIVE HAWANANS

The Portland Oregonian of May 70
says: Mr.. and Mrs. E. Thompson, Of
New Haven, Conn, VINO spent the
winter in the Hawaiian Islands, are
on their way nome. Mr.. Thompson is
a retired business man, but made the
trip to Hawaii to study industrial con-
ditions there as well as to pass a
pleasant winter.
There is a bright outlook for Ha-
vail" says Mr.. Thompson, "and the
Islands would have been further adj
vanced had it not been for one thing
the missionaries. l do not with to
criticise the missionaries for their re-
ligious zeal but they overlooked what
seems to me to be very important
matter. They did not teach the ma
tives any principles of business or
how to take care of themselves.
AS a result the natives of the islands
are like so many children.
many things that have been said
about the people of Hawaii are I'M
Just. 1 was entertained on several
occasions by half whites and 1 new
er met finer people in my life."
"The people are experimenting
with rubber and tobacco. The rails
ing of tobacco appears to be an as
sured success, but it will take time
to tell about rubber. Residents of
the Islands believe the rubber indus
try will be a success, and if that be
true, it will mean great deal to
the United States.
Residents and natives of Hawaii
look with apprehension upon Japan

cent of the fishermen are Japanese
and they no doubt have a better
line than anyone else. In the event

American bonds have been placed.
This buying of our securities by for
eigners will do much toward checking
gold exports. The money market at
home already is beginning to show
some relaxation, although in the West
money rates are still reported quite
firm.
1t is gratifying to know that many
wage disputes have been settled annie
ably. In most cases it probably meant
an increase in wages for the employ
ees, entailing a greater expense upon
the employers, but it must be remem-
bered that as business expands and
profits increase, as has been the case
in nearly all enterprises, higher wage
demands are to be expected, particu.
larly since the cost OF living has in
creased so greatly. That many vol
untary advances in wages have been
made this spring is undoubted evil
dence of the growing friendly rela-
lions between capital and labor.

GET YOUR TICKETS READY.
Oh, the circus is coming to town next
week,
With its twenty-five rings or more;
With it's score of clowns to make you
laugh,
And its bareback riders galore.
The tigers will growl and the lions
will roar,
And the big giraffe will dance;
And the old rhino will stand on his
head,
And the elephants snort and prance.
The fellow in tights will flippety-flop,
And the polar bear he will sing,
And the girl in blue she will smile
and bow,
AS she circles round the ring.
Pink lemonade and peanuts for all,
And the hippo will whistle a song;
The big anaconda will wriggle and
smile,
And the walrus is coming along.
A horse with a name to drag on the
floor,
A six-leggeG calf on the right;
The zebra that gobbled up seven old
maids
The camel that fiddles all night
Be ready, We men-be ready, ye boys,
And good Uncle neube will be there;
He'll have front seat and close to
the ring
And take it all in: 81 declared"

municipalities l have ever seen," said
the visitor yesterday
ct is 80 years since l first went
to Honolulu from San Francisco and
for the last 10 years l have been
steady resident.
"The population of the Hawaiian
islands, estimated year ago, was
218,462, and the area of the eight in
habited islands 4O15 square miles;
population of Honolulu $4,000, OF
which about 10000 are Caucasians
Honolulu is one of the cleanest
and most up to date cities in the
word; has magnificent streets, and
into the country are some of the
finest drives in the world, one of the
best ways of seeing the island being
by automobile. IN Honolulu we have
one morning and two evening news
papers, printed in English and enjoy
ing the services of the Associated
Press. The city is famous for is
churches, schools Sd colleges and is
becoming famous as a musical center,
one of it's crack bands having made a
tour of the principal cities of the
United States not long ago. Thanks
to the good work done by the early
missionaries from New England the
moral tone of the city is excellent,
and this feature has kept pace with
the general growth of the city. We
have chamber of commerce and a
commercial club with 300 members, and
this latter club is famous for its noon
luncheons where prominent visitors
are entertained and subjects pertain
ing to the prosperity of the islands are
discussed.
Sugar is the chief product of the
Islands, in which respect they lead
the world. The yield this year is es-
timated at 100000 tons. One planta-
ton has capitalization of $5OOO,OOO,
and has been paying IS per cent in di-
vidends. Pineapples probably come
next, followed by coffee and all kinds
of tropical fruit. Vegetables grow
nicely. We import such luxuries as
apples, prunes and northern fruits.
THE government is encouraging the
opening of land to settlement.
