DROP IN PRICES
IS ANTICIPATED

New York financial writer's appear
to view the present business situation
as somewhat alarming, and predict g.
depression which may result in de-
cline of prices all along the line. the
following was sent out by the Asso-
ciated Press from that city on May
1:
NEW YORK May IA number OF
adverse factors of a special kind con-
verged on the securities market last
week and crystallized feeling of de-
preston that has been growing up for
some time, forcing a precipitate de-
cline in prices.
The influence of these factors was
held in allegiance until the United
States steel dividend had been rails
ed to per cent to see whether that
action would serve to sustain the mar
ket and ward off the threatened pres
sure.
! When it was seen that selling Of
United States steel increased rather
than diminished after the raising of
! the dividend the speculation turned
conclusively to the side of depression
Dissatisfaction with the general trade
outlook has been gaining force in the
/ financial district for some time. This
high prices of commodities made the
central factor around which this feel
ing gathers. To these are ascribeo
the lack of demand in various direc-
lions, conspicuous in the case of tnj
shrunken agricultural exports and the
curtailment of cotton mill productions
Heavy credit facilities are tied III
in the holding of commodities out o
the market for high prices. A greatly
expanded loan account by the banks
is due to this cause, and to farm lane
purchases and to irrigation projects
The depletion of cash reserves o
the New York banks exhausted the
margin of the surplus and induced re
call of loans placed in the stock mar
ket. The exigencies of the cottol
speculation served to divert credit in
to that market. The consequence

ed for Eva, Oahu and Kahuku, while
Waialua was in doubt. Since then
there has been such an improvement
in the juice that neither of these es-
tates can now fall below the estimates
originally made for them. In fact, the
only plantation on this island that
may not reach the mark is Kahuku,
and the shortage there will be small.
On both, Maui and Kauai the situa-
ton is quite satisfactory, leaving Ha-
wall to bear the brunt of such failure
as may become apparent Cane on
Hawaii suffered greatly from drought
and, during the winter and early spring
was probably injured more or less by
much rain when a little would have
been better 1t is the northern DIS
trict of Hawaii that has suffered most
from adverse weather conditions, and
it is there that the burden of shortage
will fall However, reports from that
section since the middle of March
have been encouraging, and if condi-
tions continue favorable, much of the
apparent shortage may be wiped out
before the season is finally at an end
There is one satisfaction on the
matter, however-even admitting :
considerable shortage: The high price
J of sugar will ensure for this croI
lmore money than any of its pre-
decessors in the history of the is
lands; so that the value of the har
vest will not be less than that o
last year.

NEW ESTIMATES

The Sugar Factors Company has
received most of the answers to a
recent request sent out for new es-
Inmates on the sugar crop, and from
the returns it looks as though there
may be a shortage of about 10000
If the original estimates submitted by
the various arrangements. Although
close enough to the end of the season
for pretty accurate figuring, some ex-
ceptional circumstances of this year
may throw even these latest calcula-

markedly on many estates and, again
managers have a habit of being ex-

THE STOCK MARKET
OPENS UP SPOTTy

The stock market began the week
strong in places and off strength in
others according to the opinion Or
whim of buyers. There were no big
transactions and nobody seemed dis
posed to Ibid up" on any property.
The old stand-bys were still solid, and
while the general tone remained about
the same as on Saturday there SEEM
ed to be feeling that the high and
advancing price of sugar would soon
deprive the market of it's bearish quail
tiles.
Hilo Railway common stock was
still in demand. Between boards 80
shares sold at SIC rs, but this morn
ing the stock was stronger, so shares

at SIG. 625. At the close of the
session SIG. 625 was bid while hold
ers were demanding II.
Between boards $4,000 McBryde six
es sold at 500, which was the basis OF
the last previous sale.
Between boards, also, shares Ha-

the board there was a sale of SHARE

more but $5S was being asked.
On the board sale of $1,000 Hilo

the old basis.
A sale of Is Oahu was made at $50
more being offered at the same but
only $34. 25 being bid. The last pre-
vious sale had been at $35, so that the
stock must be regarded as weak.
On the board 10 Hawaiian CONNER

was bid, while the stock was Offered

REPORTS OF DUN
AND BRADSTREET

Bradstreet's report New York; of
a week ago yesterday april 800 con-
tanned the following
Conditions of business are still ir-
regular, but the volume of trade con-
tinues heavy. Certain unfavorable de-
velopments have apparently been ex-
aggerated and their effect on business
sentiment has been out of proportion
to their real significance. Much, as
usual, depends this year upon the
crops.
No concerted action has been taken
to curtail production of pig iron, but
several more furnaces have blown out
their stacks and others are expected
to do so. A proposition has been ad-
vanced among merchant furnaces in
some of the largest Pennsylvania dis
tricts to shut down 80 days between
now and July 1. Insofar as demand
for pig iron is concerned, conditions
are, if anything, more than in the pre-
ceding weeks, but prices now show
some resistance to the declining ten
dency except in steel making iron.
Producers of coke are curtailing
more freely in reponse to the blowing
out of furnaces, and it is estimated the
weekly output is 100000 tons less than
at the end of MarchIn finished lines
the situation is somewhat mixed and
no great amount of business is being
done. Important contracts for struc-
Quirements of railroads apparently
\ tural material are pending Rail re-
have been mainly filled and two ex-
port orders call for $4,000 tons.
The primary dry goods markets are
steadier but still generally quiet Cot
ton goods are a shade firmer, as shown
by an advance of a quarter cent on
drills and sheetings and curtailments
of production is more pronounce
A good volume of new orders for
the next fall runs have been received
by the manufacturers in all sections
of the country. Shoe shipments from
Boston for the week are slightly larg-
r. Sales of western packers hides
during the last 10 days aggregated
about 175,OOO hides, and this has
I served to steady the market.

R. G. Dun & Company (same date)
published the following.
Cold weather with snow west and
south have checked retail trade and
dulled recorder business in spring
goods, while the reports OF crop da-
mage from the return of winter have
tended to discourage fall business
pending cleared views of the ultimate
crop outcome. The reports from job
bling and wholesale trade lines and
industries point to a slowing down
demand, and the downward tendencies
OF many commodities does not seem
to have brought out much new bust.
ness The textile trades fail to reflect
much expansion of demand. The cot
ton situation is still unsettled and eX-
tension of curtailment is being advo-
Gated, while the wool market is easier
both for old and new supplies. In
the iron and steel trades, pig iron
production is in excess of the de-
mand, and some furnaces are blowing
out. Inclement weather temporarily
checked business in building opera
tons, but activity in that line is still
manifest. The leather and shoe
trades are quiet, but eastern shoe
shipments are equal to year ago.
Prices of commodities have tended
downward and food products are gen.
orally lower at wholesale.

THE OBJECT OF EDUCATION.

nODclI VI 1u6clS Bull.
The object of all education should
be to increase the usefulness of man
usefulness to himself and others.
Every human being should be taught
that his first duty is to take care of
himself, and that to be self-respecting
he must be self-supporting. To live
on the labors of others, either by
force which enslaves, or by cunning
which robs, or by borrowing or beg
ging, is wholly dishonorabie. Every
man should be taught some useful art.
His hands should be educated as we'll
as his head. He should be taught to
deal with things as they are-with life
as it is. This would give feeling of
independence, which Is the firmest
foundation of honor, Of character.
Every man knowing he is useful, ad-
mires himself.
