OF DUN
AND BRAOSTREET

r. G. Dun & Company New
York;, under date of September "a,
reported as following concerning bus
mess conditions:
With crops aggregatng large in
quantity and value, in spite of the
reduced yield of spring wheat, with
politics becoming so intense and I'M
certain as to make enterprise timid,
and with railroads and shippers en-
gagged in a dispute over rates, the
business outlook is mixed trade re-
action being very plain in some i'm
Dortant directions, while at the same
time there are streaks Of progress and
activity. It is, as a whole, a waiting
situation, with little to encourage spec
ulative enterprise until conditions
now doubtful or unsettled become
more clearly defined.
On the same date Bradstreet -lalso
New York; reported as follows:
Trade and industrial reports are
terization is difficult. Fair activity in
some lines and at some ceneers is
indicated, but repression and conserv-
atism are widely in evidence and re-
Elected in small but frequent buying
rather than large or confidential buy
ing.
One really favorable underlying
feature, perhaps not thoroughly APP
preciated at present, is the apparent
absence of large stocks of goods in
primary or secondary hands, born
apparently of uncertainty as to fu
/ ture prices and the growth of the
belief that far distant buyings' is
neither advisable nor necessary.

States for the week ending Septem-
Der % were 100, against 210 last

OFFICIAL TOUR OF
THE OIL FIELDS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Califor-
MIA oil fields will be visited in Octo-
Der by First Assistant Secretary
Pierce of the Interior department,
who will investigate the oil situation
in so far as it relates to the public
domain.
Pierce will seek light on what le-
gislation should be recommended in
regard to these oil lands. He will be
in Bakersfield and vicinity about the
middle of next month.
The situation which Pierce will
look into grows out of the withdrawal
of lands and the entry of companies
on them. The department has been
called upon to determine whether cer-
tain companies are acting in good
faith

To INVESTIGATE

The San Francisco Examiner says:
1t is evident that the Treasury De-
partment has not abandoned it's in
vestigation into sugar frauds through.
out the country and the ways of
weighing sugar by the government
employees are to be the subject Of a
thorough investigation.
A Washington dispatch states that
a commission of special agents of
the Treasury Department will come
to San Francisco and make a search
ing investigation into local custom
house affairs.
Inspection of the mode of weighing
sugar by government inspectors and
the taking of precautions against the
repetition of the swindles exposed in
the New York custom house will be
a special feature of the work of the
agents.
While swindles in New York

be a rigid investigation and several
changes made in the present system.

The latest imposition upon steam
ship companies is the ruling COMPEL
ing lines to furnish statistics of de-
parting passengers within IL hours
after sailing. This information is
now collated on board ship during
the voyage by pursers, but the new
order means that a large clerical
force will have to be employed on the
docks merely to comply with the
whims of a statistics mad depart
ment. 1t is time that a resolute stand
were made by all concerned against

The COAST MARKET.

The weak condition of the San Fran
cisco securities market is illustrated
by the experience Of a local man
who recently sent some bonds up
there ODE sold The bonds were
worth SO and slightly better on the
local market. In San Francisco the
very highest bid procurable (althougn
the bonds were as well understood
there as here) was 500, It is need
less to say that the bonds We're re-
called, and the experiment will not
be repeated until conditions have
changed considerably.

BOTTOM DROPS OUT
HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL

Hawaiian Commercial stock came
down with a crash this morning,
drawing other stocks with it to points
below quotations of yesterday At the
close yesterday $50 was asked for
this stock, It having dropped from
S3S.25 during the day I'm the after
noon there was a sale OF 10 shares ut
S85.75, followed by 30, 60 and 25O at
S35.
Gable advices from San Francisco
this morning indicating another
sweeping drop in Hawaiian CONNER
cial over there, was the signal To-
cally for a stampede to sell On the
Exchange the stock wasC rered at s8i
while bidding dropped to $50. No sales
We're made, but the stock was easy
to get.
When the reports reached the street
from the Exchange it created consid-
cradle panic among small holders OF
Hawaiian Commercial and it was re-
liably reported that the stock could
be had around $32-$32.5O
Two things have worked the de-
preston lin Hawaiian Commercial,
At the San Francisco end the biggest
influence perhaps has been the scare
in regard to the tariff on sugar, plus
the low price of sugar and downward
tendency of the market. Undoubtedly
these influences have been sufficiently
great to cause a stampede to unload.
This has increased to such a panic
that actual values are no longer consi-
dered in the scramble to get from un-
der" the imaginary danger.
OF course the unfortunate state of

refners are not anxious buyers, not
withstanding the fact that their stocks

marked decline from values which
they were recently paying As we
have previously pointed out, this dis
position on refners' part to buy only
on a hand to mouth basis will prob
ably be continued until after the first

have to hold back their supplies from
an unwilling market, or accept lower
