Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1910-02-12

that we are now getting over seven
dollars ton more than last year,
and this on the total crop OF the Is
lands represents matter OF four
millions OF dollars. Present pros
poets are that the difference to the
advantage OF Hawaii will be larger
rather than any less. The statisti-
cal position should certainly create
confidence and promote activity in
the sugar stock market, IL It be pos
sible for anything to stir the town.
Stock Trading.
The stock list OF the week started
OF with sale Of ten shares Of Ha-
waiian Agricultural at 255, an ad-
vance OF five dollars share over
the last previous transfer.
When things like this happen al
most every month or so in connec-
tion with, Hawaii,s sugar stocks, the
standing mystery is why anyone in
Hawaii should put their money in
else than these local sugar
securities. that can not be equaled or
improved upon in any investment or
speculative market OF the world.
Ewa's Crop Estimate.
Eva sold at 1926 the early part
of the week and sagged to "a on
Thursday and Friday. Someone
started the report that Manager Rem
ton had changed his crop estimate on
account OF the low sugar content OF
the juice. This statement has been
officially denied to representative
of the Bulletin. Manager Rem
ton has not changed his estimate.
It may be that some broker has
changed 1t for him to promote a lit
tie trade.
Hawaiian Commercial has remain
ed very quiet and very firm at 1926.
Honokaa stockholders held their an
nual meeting this week and elected
officers. The report has not yet been
made public, but the plantation is
known to be in good condition. Near
ly Ave hundred shares sold on Thurs
day at 1925. but dropped on an
eighth on a ten-share lot sold on the
Board Friday.
Hutchinson has made u very good
showing selling at 1925 and 1875
In very small quantities. and not
very active bidding.
Oahu Dividend.
Oahu has wandered between 49,
and 1926 on very slight trading.
Stockholders Of this plantation are
expecting an increase to the two
per cent. dividend next July or be-
fore, and even an extra before on
account of the settlement Of the
damages OF the strike that were
guaranteed by the other plantations
OF the Islands. and should be paid In
the not far distant future.
Onomea is strong at 55. large
part OF the buying In this stock be-
ing from San Francisco. VI
A few shares Of Paauhau have
sold at 1925. the present ruling fig
lure. Pioneer sold at 215, and on
Friday 217.50 was bid. with holder
asking 220.
Waialua dropped of from the sale
Iat 1870 last week, and a few shares
went at 1873. but, az usual, practical
ly none OF the stock is coming out,
and after the bidders dropped to
1880, they rallied again with no
result. Reports from this planta-
tion continue to be very favorable,
and It is hard to make the crowd feel
that the one per cent. a month is not
coming this year.
