STOCK SAL les ON
THE STREET TODAY

The vigor assumed by stocks yes.
terday did not cease with the morn
ing's session of the board, but con-
tinued on to the end of the day and
was in evidence this morning. Al
though most of the brokers are doing
politics" few we're around all of the
forenoon and were rewarded by some
business and a few promising nib
bles" which may result in sales to-
morrow.
1t is not unlikely that considerable
of a boom will follow the election,
largely by virtue of the fact that the
public will have more time for other
things than politics. Should the Re-
publicans score a heavy victory this
activity may be fastened; but what
ever the party results, there will be
more or less Of a boom" for a short
time, if for no other cause than the
release from the strain which has been
placed upon the community for the
past several weeks.
This activity will be temporary, how
ever, for the enormous output or SUI
gar in other countries this year will
have the effect of keeping stock prices
down for several months-probably
until late in the Spring at the earliest.
But to return to the market of to-
day
On the street 200 shares of Oahu are
known to have been sold at $27, which
was the basis of the last previous
transactions. Another deal for a larg-
er block is in, but will probably not
be closed until tomorrow. 1t is I'M
derstood that the prospective buyers
are offering $27, but the owners of
the shares are holding out for $27 25.
Another street sale was of 25 Pho
neer at $1S5. This is a slight ad-
vance, as the market closed yesterday
at 1884 bid and $1S7 so asked. Still
another sale is under way.
Also on the street 80 shares of Wal
alua have changed hands at $102,
which was the basis of the last sales
on the board yesterday. 1t is under
stood that more stock is for sale at
this figure, and also that buyers are
seeking the stock at $102. With this
condition of affairs it is not improbable
that further sales may be reported to-
morrow.
There are inquiries for McBryde,
Olaa, Eva and Honokaa, but so far
as can be gathered no sales have been
effected.
A report came in this morning Of
very fine rains on the plantation Of
the McBryde Sugar Company, Kauai,
and also at Maxwell, same island.
McBryde plantation was so thoroughly
soaked that pumping has become un-
necessary and the plant in Wainiha
has been closed down indefinitely. The
cane on Kauai is in very fine shape,
and it now looks like banner crop
for the entire island.
