MARKET LETTER
Of HENRY CLEWS
New York October Is, 1915


Activity on the Stock Exchange in
creased in spite of Intervention of the
holidays, and the undertone of the
market was strong, the tendency Of
prices being steadily upwards. The
influence contributing chiefly towards
reviving confidence Yas the October
crop report. This removed all doubt
concerning the corn crop; the Govern
ment report exceeding even the most
sanguine expectations of 100000
900 bushel crop. Corn is king; not
only because of it's great money value
but because of the numerous direc.
lions in which it is used both for do
nestle and industrial purposes. In
money value it exceeds both wheat
and cotton combined. The wheat yield
though not what was desired, has eX
ceeded early expectations, and a large
crop of oats has also been garnered
The yield of cotton has been disap.
pointing; but, so far as the South is
concerned, this will be fully compen,
stated for by enhanced prices. All
doubts concerning the crops are now
out of the way, except cotton, which
will be subject to danger from early
frost for at least another two weeks
Since the harvest is the most import
ant element in our national prosperity
it is a source of satisfaction that this
factor of uncertainty is now perman
emily eliminated.
The political outlook, another well
worn element of doubt, is steadily i'm
proving. Radicalism is being rebuk
ed in all directions; issues have nov

AFFAIRS Of THE
YOKOHAMA SPECIE

The sixty -nrst report Of the Yol,o-
hama Specie Bank Ltd, which was
presented to the shareholders al the
half-yearly ordinary general meeting
held al the head Office In Yokohama
On September 10 balance at yen 22o,-
573S,99 .l6. or something like $780,
100000. and the gross profits for the
half year were yen l3.06l,236.1l, or
approximately, more than 80 per cent
on the capital stock for six months.
This report be IL understood, COW
ers all the branches and agencies Of
The Yokohama Specie Banks system,
located in many OF the largest cities
Of the world
In explanation OF the very large
gross earnings of the system it ap-
pears advisable to consult the official
report itself as follows: THE gross
Irofits of the bank for the past half
year, including yen l,l67,4O764
brought forward from last account,
amount to yen 13,O64, 236.l1, Of which
yen 1O.1O1 .O5889 have been deducted
for interest, taxes, current expenses,
rebate on bills current, bad and
doubtful debts, bonus for officers and
oleiks, etc, leaving a balance OF yen
1853, 177.22 for appropriation.
"The directors now propose that
yen $4,000 be added to the re-
serve fund, and recommend a divi-
dcnd at the rate of twelve per cent
per. annum, which will absorb yen
1,440,000.
THE balance. yen 1,173,17722, viii
be carried forward to the credit OF
next sccOunt"
From all of which it would appear
that while industrial conditions IN
Japan are not booming" semi ofiicia
banking affairs OF that country are
getting along quite well, thank you.

THE STOCK MARKET
VERY SLOW TODAY

The stock market was exceedingly
quiet today there being little doing on
the street and a featureless session of
the exchange. Since the board a small
block of Pioneer sold 1t 1887 so, but
no other changes in quotations are
known of. The disposition of buyers
and sellers seems to be to let the week
pass quietly and await such things as
Monday may have in store.
Between boards there was sale of
10 o. r. & l.. at $3.50, after which the
stock was offered at $135, but there
were no bidders this morning.
Sales of 10 and 10 Eva were made
at $29. This morning more was Of
fered at the same but bidding had
dropped to S2e .75 The last previous
sale was at 500.
A block of % Oahu changed hands
at $27, after which the stock was Of
fered at the same, but bidding was at
500. 80 only. The last previous sale
having been at $27, weakness is shown
by the market of this forenoon. 1t is
predicted that Oahu has not yet reach
ed the bottom.
Hawaiian Commercial is $33.75 bid
with none in sight. This is a little
better than the stock is now ranging
in San Francisco. McBryde today is
81. 25 bid and 81 so asked, while Olaa
is "a 375 bid and 81 625 asked. AT
the close of today's session Pioneer
was $1S5 bid and $3.50 asked, and Wal
alua 500 bid and $101 asked.

THE TRENT TRUST ON
SUGAR STOCK SITUATION

In its letter 10 the First Trust Com
pany of Hilo last night the Trent
Trust Company said, on the above
subject:
There has been n0 special feature IN
the stock market during the week-in
fact, 81 proved TO be almost repeu-
ton of the past few weeks. Trading
has been rather brisk az times. with
Eva, oahu, Waialua and Pioneer the
favored securities. The majority have
suffered further declines, and are sell
ing today az their lowest level, with
the possible exception Of Eva, which
Is now $1,000, having reached S2S.00
per share recently.
The price Of raw sugar is still on
the decline. and yesterday reached
the low level of $3.50, with beets
quoted at SIS 8 I'D, which registers
a drop Of heavy proportions since our
letter of the preceding week. II now
seems probable that sugar will sell
considerably lower unless something
Unforeseen happens to the European
beet crop. The production Of cane in
Cuba is still on the increase; the COM
ing crop promises to show a gain over
the l909-1910 crop of perhaps 100000
tens. This also lends encouragement
to the belief that sugar will sell lower.
According to general opinion, many
of our plantations will show an in
creased production with the coming
crop The cane is looking better in
most instances at present than at a
corresponding date last year. This
will be very welcome, in view of the
possible low price of sugar, but will
hardly be enough to have much effect

which 1000 tons had United States

than was generally expected. The
total ahoat from Java to the United

viii naturally be discontinued, but
with one or two possible exceptions,
the regular dividend should be paid.
The cash balance that will be car

plantations would be sufficient to CON
tinue dividends during 1911, at nearly
their present rates, even with low
sugar, but Il would be necessary to
draw on the surplus OF course, this
would not be done unless there were
some assurance of a return to high
prices for raw the following season.
Raw sugar prices are now being fol-
lowed very closely by the public, as
the outcome rests almost entirely on
the European beet crop.

been clearly defined and seem to de-
pend very largely upon personality
The comparative lack of interest in
election issues is shown by the falling
off in registration in all parts Of the
country compared with previous years.
It is taken for granted that Republi-
cans will have to face considerable
losses at the polls next November, and
there is some probability that the next
Congress may become Democratic.
This fact, however, appears to cause
little real uneasiness, and the cleo
tions are certainly a much less threat
ening element than two or three
months ago. 1t is also a noticeable
fact tnat public opinion is becoming
less hostile to corporations; this be-
ing due partly to public recognition of
the fact that corporations are here to
stay, and partly to the fact that man
ayers of the latter recognize that they
must submit to some form of regula-
ton, obey the law and show a decent
regard for public opinion. The change
in the latter respect manifested in va
rious quarters is highly encouraging
as tending to disarm much Of public

criticism. No one now seriously fears
the forthcoming Supreme Court deci.
sions on the oil, tobacco and other
cases. The court may force reorgan-
ization, but is not going to destroy
property values. The decisions when
issued will probably have no further
injurious effect than the famous North
ern Securities case. No harm but
good followed that decision. The
prospects of the railroads securing rea-
sonable treatment from the Inter
state Commerce Commission are daily
increasing. So that question is also
nearing solution. In this connection
President McCrea's address on behalf
of the Pennsylvania before the Inter
state Commerce Commission was a
striking feature. His argument for
better rates was temperate, strong and
based upon well known facts. It will
no doubt have much weight with the
commission and do much towards Sc.
curing reasonable treatment for the
railroads.
