Quick work on the part OF the em-

mystery.
Mrs Baldwin was notified by tele-

MIXED PROGRAM IN POLICE
COURT; BOOZE PROBLEM AGAIN

There were twenty cases on the
police court calendar this morning,
but owing to the fact that District
Magistrate Lymer had an engagement
in the Supreme Court in connection
with the Pepeepeo land case, most of
the cases which were called on were
continued until later in the week.
When the court assembled Judge
Lymer explained that as the court had
necessarily to be present in the Su-
preme Court at ten o'clock, he would
appreciate it if counsel could accom-
modate the court in agreeing to con
tinuances, unless there was some spe-
cial reason for going on with the cases
then and there.
Practically all the contested cases
were continued, no objections being
raised to the request of the court by
either prosecution OF defendants.
OF the cases set down there were
six assault, four of drunkenness, two
of selling liquor without a license, two
of larceny, three of using threatening
language, and others varied chari
aeter. ~ ~ =sys, 81 z.;-s- s-.-r
In one of the cases of drunkenness
F. w. Schultze was charged and Judge
Lymer pointed out that it was lille
gal for saloon keepers to sell liquor
to persons who had been convicted
twice or more of the offence charged.
AS Schultze had nine convictions
against his name, Judge Lymer told
him that he was not alone to blame.
IF you will tell the court where you
got this liquor" he said, the court will
probably be disposed to deal more le-
niently with YOU" but Schultze denied
having visited any saloons, pleading
that he received the liquor from a
friend.
Unable to get any satisfaction from
Schultze Judge Lymer imposed SEN
tence of two months imprisonment up
on him.
Joe Ferraje, who has been dangling
in attendance at the police court for
months past, came up for sentence in
connection with a charge of larceny
in the second degree.
Charlie Chillingworth appeared for
Ferraje and informed the court that
Farraje had been sentenced to six

With the exception Of fresh trades

deck and a varied cargo. The deck
passengers included five Japanese, 3
Hawaiians, Koreans, 1 Portuguese,
2 Filipinos, Porto Rican, and 9TH
ers.
The cargo included 1909 bags of
rice, 357 bags of bran, five crates of
chickens, two crates of turkeys, two
horses, 20 sacks of potatoes, two

REPORTS OF DUN
AND BRADSTREET

r. G.. Dun & Company, New York,
writing under date of November g.
said:
Whatever change there is is chiefly
in the point of view. 1t is the charac-
teristic feature of the situation that
whereas a few weeks ago business
sentiment put special emphasis on the
uncertainties of the outlook and the
possible danger involved, now the en-
phasis is mostly on the hopeful as
poets. Yet so far as actual develop
ments are concerned, there is very
little change and the volume of actual
transactions continues below pro-
tective capacity.
Recent developments in iron and
steel encourage the more hopeful feel
ing reported, although progress is
slow.
"The dry goods market, as a whole,
reflects some anxiety. Cotton goods in
first hands are generally quiet, excep-
ions being in staple prints, where the
ordering for spring delivery is good
and where the wash goods trade is
steady on advance business. The yarn
markets rule steady but not active.
STEADY improvement is maintained
in the leather market, and sole is espe-
cially firm. Upper feathers are dull
and weak, owing to the substitution of
velvets in uppers,"
On the same date Bradstreet (also
New York; had the following:
Colder, more seasonable weather,
stimulating the retail and jobbing
trade, current distribution at many
cities about equal to last year at this
date, fairly good showing by the usual
monthly exhibits of failures and clear
ings for October, continuance of the
declining tendency hitherto noted in
farm products, especially in cereals
and food producing animals at whole
sale; firmer money rates, with reports
of an increased tendency on the part
of the western farmers to hold crops,
aud the pushing of the killing frosts
line farther to the south, thus termin-
ating the growth of cotton in wide
area, are among the leading features
of the week.

LOWER PRICES ON
STOCK EXCHANGE

Almost everything in the way of
stocks Except the brokers, of course)
took a little drop this morning.

hung On at $2S yesterday in now $27
bid and $27 80 asked. Between boards
35 and 10 shares sold at $27.75, fol-
lowed by these on Chance this morn
ing: shares at $27. so; at $27 375;
5, 10 and 20 at $27.25
Between boards 25 McBryde sold
at 81. This morning the stock was
SO. as bid and 81 asked. Olaa remained
the same as yesterday-$4 bid and
1925 asked. It is very doubtful that
either of these two stocks will go
very much, if any, lower.
Oahu took another slump, 35 shares
selling at $25. 25, after which the same
was bid and $25. so asked.
Quotations of leading stocks with
out sales were: Hawaiian Commercial

$50 bid and 500 asked.
There was one dividend paid to-
day, Kehaha coming up with SIS a
share, or $4,000. For this stock $2O5
is now asked.
