THE STOCK MARKET.

The prophesied revision of prices on
the stock exchange came last week but
the revision was downward instead of
upward. In one OF two instances shares
sold at prices higher than those which
prevailed during the preceding week
but in general there was considerable
weakness.
Just what it all means is difficult to
say. The drop in sugar may have had
something to do with it and it may
be the reaction after the rather sem
sntional advance which characterized
the market last month. While the
stock boom was at its height prices
mounted upward at a lively rate and
then, contrary to the usual condition
of affairs, they remained there instead
of slipping backward when the advance
came to stop.
Trading all last week was very light
and fewer shares were sold than during
any week in some time past. Waialua
sold in very small blocks as high as
1888, the price aovancing from 1877. This
was decided exception to the rule
however.
There were just nine shares of Nc
Bryde disposed of during the week and
the price was CTS. One hundred and
eighty shares of Hawaiian Commercial
in three blocks brought uniform price
of 1880.
Hutchinson is one Of those which
showed little advance. The first sales
of the week were made at 10, the price
then advancing to 1925. The total
| sales for the week amounted to but
forty shares however. Shares were
offered at 1925 yesterday but there
were no takers at the price, 10 being
the best offer reported.
Pioneer dropped noticeably. The first
sale of the week was made at 1888
Then sales were made at 231 while
the shares were offered at 22S.50 yester
day without any takers. The best bic
recorded at closing time yesterday wa:
224.50.
Honokaa sold early in the week al
2l.50; then the price dropped to 21.S7i
and to 21.25. Yesterday the sharei
showed little more strength; 21.37i
was bid on the Change but no stool
was offered at less than %.

POLITICAL IDEAS
The Speaker of the House Talks
Freely About the Coming
Campaign.

HILo, April 12.-Speaker of the
House Holstein, the Republican Ma
tional Committeeman for this Terri
tory, spent a few days in Hilo last
week, his purpose being to try to in
ject little more vim and vigor into
the local party organization. With
this end in view he met the members
of the county committee and other
prominent politicians and it is prob
able that his visit will bear fruit.
Speaker Holstein expressed himself
as being of the belief that the Repub.
Leans on this island could put up a
strong ticket for the majority of the
Offices and that such ticket could be
elected-if the leaders of the factions
will drop their individual fights and
combine for the sake of the organiza-
ton, and if the citizens who have the
interest of the county at heart will
come forth and enter the battle instead
of showing the apathy which has only
too often been apparent.
"The biggest trouble in the County
of Hawaii today lies in the individual
selfishness of each of the county off
GERS now in Office" said Holstein
"Each of them is playing his own
game of politics, and then they expect
the Republican party to come and pull
the chestnuts out of the fire for them
81 am in hopes that the conditions
win better and they will II the best
voting element will go TO work and
take the matter into their own hands.
Take for instance the office of super
visor Of lIiloj there are men like Ross,
Moir, cabrlnha, Wright, Otto Rose
John Bohnenberg aud Ned Austin, all
Of whom are good men. Personally,
speaking from a party point Of view, !
think that Ross and Rose would make
the best combination for North and
South lilo.

which was made in some IS sugar
mills or "centrals.n 1t Is estimated
that the production this season will be
considerably over 100000 tons, the
largest in the history of the industry.
The mills are now grinding the 1909
crop, and their facilities are taxed to
the utmost. The grinding season will
be over in July OF August and then
supplies for the ensuing crop will be
ordered. With the heavy grinding and
larger volume of business the demand
will be the greatest ever made. The
acreage will be greatly increased dur
ing the coming season, hence there will
be room for larger sales of material to
the centrals.
Supplies for the following year are
generally contracted for in July or Au-
gust for shipment in November or De-
cember, except machinery, which must
come as soon as the mills shut down,
or as soon as possible after measure.

Yet there is limit put to all these
efforts. The conditions changed more
in twelve months FIVE years ago than
in the same period now. Waste prod.
ucts are reduced to what appears to be
their practical minimum, and maximum
of the greatest possible extraction with
the least outlay of expenditure seems
to be nearly reached. The cane sugar
industry in Java is asking "What
next7, So in steps DR.. A. Wynberg,
answering by asking one more ques-
tion, f" How about the so-callsd waste

We are led to these reflections by
having received Doctor Wynberg's re-
cent book on the. extraction and manu-.
facture of wax from filter press cake,
n handsome volume Of some two hun
dred pages, explaining his work in con-
nection with the subject. Tho matter
| attracted immediate attention, and
eight Java sugar houses installed the
apparatus Filter cake as it comes from
the presses contains some five per cent
of wax, but before it is passed through
the extracting apparatus it is preferably
! dried and left weathered for some time
A uniform hard material is then secured
by extraction.
Those using the refuse as fertilizer
will be glad to learn that the mud has
) greater value after the treatment
the wax by itself having tendency tc
clog up soil and reducing its capillary
action. The process is of special value
for large centrals, where great quaint

BISHOPS SPREAD OUT.

Hilo Herald: -Within about sixty
days a branch of the Bishop Bank of
Honolulu will be opened in this city,
according to plans which have been for
INFLATED by that concern and which
took definite shape last Tuesday when
the Bishop Bank purchased the wooden
building on Waianuenue street now oc-
cuped by the Economic Shoe Company
and obtained long lease of the proper
ty with privileges of renewal from E.
Very, the owner of the land. The COM
ing of the Bishop Bank, win, however,
mean more than simply a second bank
in this city. The Bishop Trust Com
pany and the various insurance agen-
cies which it represents will also he
represented here and the same lines OF
business as are handled by the concern
in Honolulu win be installed in Hilo.
The action is being taken as the re
suit of Investigations made by A. w
r.. Bottomley, when in this city with
L. A.,sThurston a few weeks ago. Al
that time Mr.. Bottomley stated that
with the opening Of the Hakalau brancf
of the Tiilo railroad, to he followed
shortly by the completion of the break
water, and then by the opening of thu
Panama Canal, he expected to see Hit
take a big boom which would NEAR
a large increase in the population O
the city. His concern evidently see
| the same future ahead and wishes II
be early on the ground to get started

rich.quick scheme TO be offered for the
consideration OF Honolulu investors Is
n "harvest certificate issued by the
Castilloa Rubber Plantation Company
of Portland, Oregon. This company,
which, in its prospectus, states that II
owns a rubber plantation of 5000 acres
in the State of Chiapas, Mexico, Is
represented here by one DR.. H. B. Ew-
bank.
The representative of the company
talks about selling acreage in the plan
tation instead of stock in the company
and generally gives the impression that
he is Offering some tangible title to
land. As a matter of fact the com
pany is offering only certificates enti-
Ting the holder to rs per cent. of the
gross earnings of as many acres as the
certificates purchased represent. Three
hundred and fifty dollars per acre is
the price which must be paid for these
.'harvest certificates The purchaser
gets a paper which states that after
Ave years he is to receive as per cent.
of the gross returns from rubber, taken
from the acreage represented. In the
interim, provided he pays cash, he win
receive FIVE per cent. interest on his
investment. "a
The scheme is not new by jugful
and there is very little to recommend
the PLAN despite the glowing word pic
ture painted by the local representative
of the company. The purchaser of
| harvest certificates can have no
voice in the management of the prop.
erty and he is practically at the mercy
of the company.
The editor of this department would
| strongly advise any person contemplat
ing the purchase of Castilloa "harves'
certificates" to seek the advice of some
member of the stock exchange or some
other. known authority before making
any investment The project is not one
which commends itself to this paper.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, April 49,
Not since the days when Louis Kossuth,
the great Hungarian patriot and the
idol of his countrymen, received the
enthusiastic greetings of the people has
there been any popular demonstration
here in honor of any man to equal that
given yesterday to Colonel Roosevelt,
whose progress through Hungary has
been veritable triumphal procession.
When Mr.. Roosevelt and his party
reached this city yesterday they passed
from the depot to their hotel through

continuously, and who showed their en-

CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT.

Hilo Herald:-0n May l, G.. Henry
Wears, of the Economic shoe store, will
take charge of the Hilo Emporium as
manager. The announcement made some
three weeks ago that o. II. Walker
would take charge turned out to be
mistake, though he was chosen to ill the
position at meeting of the stock
holders held in this city last month.
The Hilo Emporium will take over
the entire stock now carried by the
Economic Shoe Company and will
handle shoe department in addition
to the present departments Of the store.
The building has been sold to the
Bishop Bank, which will occupy it in
the near future.

SUGAR MILL SUPPLIES.

American manufacturers of sugar
mill supplies will probably enjoy big
ger trade than ever this year by reason
of increased sugar acreage. Special
Agent John M. Turner, writing to the
bureau of manufactures of the depart
ment of commerce and labor from San
Juan, presents a prospect for greater
demand for sugar mill supplies in Porto
Rico as result of the increased
acreage in sugar.
Porto Rico produced for export in
1909 nearly 274,00O tons of sugar

Weather during the week just past
was decidedly favorable to growing
cane and most satisfactory reports are
being received from the plantations.
Harvesting and milling continues with
out interruption.
During the week several of the di.
rectors of Eva paid visit to the
plantation to investigate the report
that the crop is falling short of the
managers estimate. They made a
thorough inspection of the plantation
and when they returned they denied
the story in toto. There are small
patches Of cane which have yellowed
but these are comparatively few in
number and will have but little effect
on the size of the crop. There appears
to be every reason to believe that

tons will be exceeded. EVA is harvest
