undertaking are thus expressed official
Iy:
First.-To provide for the future by
charging the present facilities for
freight and passenger traffic because
Of the continuous growth in this traf-
f1c and to accomplish it before the cost
became almost profibitive or the task
impossible because of the construction
of other underground transportation
lines.
Second.-To run its passenger trains
into a central location In the city of
New York instead Of a station on the
west bank Of the Hudson river.
Third.-To open to the people in the
thiekly populated borough OF Manhat-
tan the residential sections of Long
Island and to offer to Newark and 9TH
er popu1ous towns in New Jersey d.
rect and quick access to the resorts on
Long Island beaches.
Fourth.-To provide an all rail con-
nection between the south and west on
the one hand and New England and
the east on the other.
Fifth.--To give the borpaehs o1
Brooklyn and Queens, with their popu-
lation OF over 100000. direct railroad
connections to and from the New Eng
land, southern and western states and
to supply freight facilities with similar

THE STOCK MARKET
REMAINS STRONG

Stock business has been very quiet
today, brokers turning their atten-
ton only to urgent demands of GUS
toners. The market straight through
appears, however, to be about the
same as at the close on Saturday.
Higher figures in some instances I'M
doubleday would prevail were it not
for the new, present slump in the
price of sugar.
The quotation $3.50 for raws, Off
cially made yesterday afternoon, was
continued in a cable from POLITE &c
Company this morning.
On the street a sale of 10 Paauhau
was made at SIS. The last official
quotation on this stock was $3.50
bid and 500 asked.
A small block of Eva changed
hands this morning at $2725. This
sale was with the coming dividend
on, so that for an actual market ba-
sis the sale figure must be reduced
slightly. There are, however, many
inquiries for Eva.
A cable this morning reported Ha-
waian Commercial to be $34 in San
Francisco, but whether this is the
bidding or asking figure is not clear.

MIR. POLITE WRITES

A letter has been received by this
department of The Star from Ed. Pol
litz, the well known stock broker of
San Francisco, in which certain state
ments made in the issue of December
6 last are objected to.
The statements refer to a quotation
of $32. so Typographical error making
it read 1922 submitted by Mr.. POLITE
to local clients on Hawaiian CONNER
cial stock; the reported interest of a
local gentleman in transaction over
there at lower figure, and the dis
crepancy between the figures submit
ted and the actual stock quotations for
that particular day in San Francisco.
Associating the name of the local
gentleman with the deal was, as has
since been ascertained, an error; but
the mistake was made by an inform
ant whose general reliability is not to
be questioned, who had, however, I'M
fortunately, himself been misled. 1t
remains fact, nevertheless, that a
deal was put through here on the basis
of the information supplied by cable,
although the actual quotations on that
date in San Francisco were below the
figures of the transaction.
The idea of the article complained
of was to call attention to the shuttle
cock practice of doing things over the
cable between here and San Francisco.
A local quotation, if it happens to be
slightly strong, is played up over
there, treated to little spice and in
it's enlarged form fired back here as

Mr.. POLITE, as the foster parent of
modern stock trading in the islands, is
looked to for correct information of
conditions at San Francisco; and his
opinions are accepted more readily
than any other that come in here
from time to time. There are times,
however, when optimism must give
way to the sterner mandates of ac-
tual conditions; and the sugar mar
ket is just now in the middle of such
period.

wholly due to incompetent or reckless
management, the report says, and
persistent violations of the national
banking laws and the practices

road returns have been discouraging,
owing to heavy losses in net earnings,
resulting entirely from the increase
in expenses. At the same time gross
returns are showing smaller gains,
and the present tendencies, if con-
tinued, would unquestionably mean
serious consequences for the railroads
The latter, however, have two re.
sources: First, to cut down expenses,
which they will undoubtedly be COM
PEELED to do and second, to secure
better rates of transportation. The
latter result will not be so easy of
accomplishment; but if the Interstate
Commission is composed of a body of
rational and fair minded men, as we
believe it to be, there is little doubt
but that some concessions will be
made to the railroads, even though
they be much less than desired. Con-
corning the Supreme Court decisions,
it is also to be assumed that the
judicial spirit will prevail, and that
politics and prejudice will be rigidly
eliminated. 1t must be taken for
granted that mo property will be
destroyed, and that property rights
will be preserved. If the strictest
possible construction of the Sherman
law be enforced many of our great
combinations will be forced to dis
organize, causing more or less tenn
porary confusion, but even then the
plants will remain, and the demand
for their product will not be abated
one whit by any decision within the
power of the Supreme Court. There
