AFTER THE CONSUL.

AS a result of the discussions over
the action of Consul LANG Kwo, in
reporting a number or Honolulu Chi
nese as being allied with the revolu =
tionists, the United Chinese Society
has called a mass meeting to denounce
the consul, and has appointed a COM
mittee of three to draw up petition,
to be sent to Peking and to the Chi
nese minister in Washington, asking
for the removal of LANG. The Chinese
here, whom LANG is reported to have
denounced, are afraid that his action
will cause the Chinese government to
take vengeance upon their relations
in China.

STOCKS SLIGHTLY

Stocks were probably a little strong

probability, to the Strengthening of
sugar, which has now crossed the four
cents line again and is selling at 4. 05
in New York. There is considerably
more demand all along the line at this
writing than for any day of this week,
and the disposition seems to be to bid
all the market will stand.
1t is not out of place to repeat, per
haps, that the sugar situation Cor the
investment phase of sugar. has not
been damaged any by the assurance
that there will be no tariff tinkering
affecting sugar under year anyhow.
The advance in the price of sugar is
also gratifying, despite the fact that

BETTER
FOOD NOW

Food Commissioner Blanchard S
next monthly report will contain an
account of an improved state of affairs
in his department. During the month
just closed, 1853 stores were inspect
ed, 81 poi shops, thirteen bakeries,
four soy factories, three macaroni fac
tories and one misc factory.
Comparatively speaking, there was
not much food stuff destroyed during
the month, for only three tins of can
ned goods were destroyed, as against
$50 during the previous month. Most
: of the stuff destroyed was fresh fruit,
or rather should have been fresh, but
was not, and there was one prosecu-
| ton for selling rotten fruit.
The bulk of the inspecting work has
ben in connection with the poi fac
tories, where it was recently found
there was much need for reform. A
great deal of indoor work has been
performed by the Food Commissioner,
as he is DESTROYS of having a poi STAN
dard set. At present there is none, so
he has been conducting many analy-
ses in order to arrive at a standard
that should be satisfactorily. AS re-
suit of his labors, he finds that the
percentage of solids ranges from about
% per cent to SO per cent. Thus it
will be seen that there is some neces-
sity for a standard, as in all probable
ity, the same price is paid for all poi.
1t was found that taro ran about so
per cent solids and poi about % per
cent The food commissioner thinks
that poi should run at least to 20 per
cent of water and about 30 per cent
solids. This, of course, is merely ap.
lproXimate, and further investigation
may lead to a revision. The figures
Iquoted are after an examination of
about ninety samples of poi and eleven
samples of taro. It is hoped that some
action will be taken by the legislature
to set a standard.
The bakeries as a whole are report
ed to be in fairly good condition, es-
pecially the Young Hotel and Loves
bakeries. In the other direction, it is
reported that about the worst were
Silva's and Vasconcellos' bakeries.
both in Luso street, Punchbowl The
premises were very dirty indeed, and
it looked as though the floors had not
been washed for years. as dough one
and half inches thick had collected
there. OF the other bakeries, there
was some criticism to make, but Il
could not be said that they were tho
roughly unsatisfactory.
The soy manufacturers were found
to be using tubs that bore japanese
labels. This gave the impression that
the soy was being imported from Jap.
an, when such was not the case. The
matter was at once taken up with the
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-12-09

Japanese Merchants Association, and
Immediately action was taken to re.
move the misleading labels.
There were only three macaroni fac
tories visited. One of these was found
to be unsatisfactory, but this was
quickly remedied.
A gratifying feature of the work that
is done by the food commissioner S
Office, was the discovery that there
is excellent milk in Honolulu. Mr..
Blanchard had received statements
from a couple of mothers that the milk
that they were receiving from their
dairyman, it happened to be the same
man in each case, seemed to contain
personalities, as it had kept for three
days. About the same time, Mr.. Blan-
chard received an invitation to visit
the dairy at Kamehameha School. This
is a well-kept and well-conducted
dairy, and although the work of visit
ing the diaries belongs to the city, Mr..
Blanchard went in order that he could
carry out some experiments. He OBJ
tanned some samples of the milk that
is being obtained at the dairy, and
placed it in his refrigerator for eight
days. This refrigerator is only cap
able of reaching temperature of 60
degrees, but Notwithstanding this the
milk at the end of the eight day, which
was yesterday, the milk was perfectly
sweet. Mr.. Blanchard knew that there
were no preservatives in it, He at
tributes the excellent keeping qualities
of the milk, to the admirable way in
which it is handled from the very mo-
ment that it is obtained. The milk
that the mothers were so anxious
about was also examined, and no pre-
servatives whatever were found.

REPORTS OF DUN
AND 8RADSTREET

r. G. Dun & Company's weekly re-
view of trade, for December 8, con-
tanned the following:
Business, while not as large as was
anticipated a year ago, is, neverthe-
less, Of fair proportions and rests on
a basis of economic conditions. which
in the main are satisfactory.
Large shipments of dry goods for
spring distribution are reported and
the outlook in the shoe trade is des-
scribed as brighter. Reports from
most of the large cities indicate a gen
orally hopeful feeling.
Prices in the dry goods market are
generally steady and there is belief
in some quarters that higher increas-
ed values will be forced by the high
cost of raw material. There has been
some selling of denims and colored
cottons as well as more trading in
print cloth yarn goods and convert
ibles. Ginghams continue strong.
Silk mills have a very good bust
ness booked. Yarn markets rule quiet.
Trade in leather continues quiet, with
considerably more business effect in
sole than upper stock. Harness and
betting leather is in moderate demand
but trade in glazed kid is dull.
On the same day Bradstreet, also
New York, published the following:
The approach of the holiday season,
seasonably cold weather throughout

prices for cotton at the South are the
