lit is notorious that the Filipino
and Spanish newspapers have not al
together favored the attempt Of the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association
to recruit IaborerS in these islands for
the Hawaiian plantations, and some Of
the Filipino papers i'll particular have
taken a decidedly hostile attitude to
the movement.
Their principal argument in disfavor
Of the exodus to Hawaii has been that
the Filjpinos were iIltreated on the
plantations, and that the pay they re
ceived was, although high in compari-
son with wages in the Philippines, &C
tuaIIy lower. considering local values

VERY FIRM TONE IN THE COTTON MARKET Expectation Of Bullish Report
 Is Cause Of Gains FEAR OF SHORT CROP Realizing Is Heavy During Part Of the Hay But Belief In Small Crop
 Views Makes Prices Sail
 Upward
FEAR or SHORT CROP

New York, December 14-The cotton market was more active and decidedly hrmer today on covering, buying by spot houses and bull support attributed to expectations of a bullish census report next week and bullsh estimates of the worlds probable requirements. The mar ket closed steady at a net advance of 15G19 points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of Sd10 points on better cables than ex- pected and private advices from Liver pool reporting that a leading English trade authority reiterated a crop esti- mate of Il GOO bales and estimated the seasons requirements at 12,5OO,O00 bales.
 Realizing was very heavy around 15.35c prices eased off or points from the best, but the offerings were gradually absorbed, and as soon as the pressure of long cotton diminished the market turned firrner again on covering by early sellers, bull support and report of bet ter spot demand. May contracts sold up 10 15 44c or 19 points above the closing N''NeS Of last night anu WllIlh poihto of the high record for the season. The close was only a point or two off from the top under realizing.
 A statement by a prominent banker on the foreign exchange market to the ef- feet that 90 per cent of the cotton bills for the entire season had already been handled attracted considerable attention as suggesting a continued rapid export movement and today's export brought the total for the season up to 3,637, GOO bales, compared with 3,34o,0OO for the same date last year
 Southern spot markets officially report ed early were generally 1-16c to bc higher private reports from the south continued very bullish as to ginning for the last period, many of thenl claimins that even less cotton had been ginned than for the same period last year.
 Receipts at all ports today 61,292 bales, against 61 ,169 last week and 22,032 last year. For the week 375,000, against 3S6,7l5 last week and 25,4f last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans POSES, against 229O last year, and at Houston 17,9l5, against 1869 last year

BIG WARSHIPS ARE
 NEAR COMPLETION

Washington, December 14-Each of the four great dreadnaughts in process of building for the United States navy prog ressed about 8 per cent toward the fin- ishing point during the month of Novem- ber At this rate the battleship Utah will be completed in about three months and her sister ship, the Florida, in about six months.
 The Utah is being built by the New York Ship Building company and is S2.3 per cent completed while the Florida, building at the New York navy yard, is 3.65 per cent finished. The navy de- partment has announced that it will re- quire an appropriation of about s60O00o more than the $6,0O0,00O originally au- thorized in order to complete the Florida.
 The sister ships Wyoming and Arkan- sas, both of which are being built by private contract, are 463 and 52.S per cent completed.
 The torpedo boat destroyer Sterett is practically complete and will be delivered to the government within a few days. She has already had her acceptance trial and the navy department today issued orders that she be placed in commission at the Boston navy yard as soon as practica- ble.
 The torpedo boat destroyer Mccall will shortly be ready for naval service. Near ly all the torpedo boat destroyers are in an advanced stage of completion.
 The submarine torpedo boat Barracuda, which is 75 per cent completed, heads the list of that class of vessel so far as the advancement of work is concerned.

SLIGHT ADVANCE
 IN WHEAT PRICES Market Hardens On Orders To
 Buy the Staple THE FINISH IS FIRM
Corn Advances On Liberal Buying By Leading Longs and Lack of Coun- try Receipts-Oats md Pro-
 visions Make Gains

Chicago, December 14.-Important rest ing orders to buy wheat overcame unor- ganized selling opposition today and the market gradually hardened. Lack of rain was reported to be injuring the win ter crop in Illinois. At the close prices showed a net advance of 5sa11sc. Latest figures for corn were s4c to %QAe higher than last night; oats were up A0asc to ssQ1sc and provisions dearer by 121aQ371zc
 The finish in wheat was firm and prac- ticaily at the highest point of the season. Although trade did not amount to much early, the market broadened out later and bears grasped at disappearing prof it's. The bulls crowded their advantage and displayed cable dispatches stating that the persistent support In Chicago was being noted at Liverpool and else where. Special interest developed in the Illinois official report which put the winter crop condition for central coun- ties as low as S6, and in the southern end of the state down to 70. A little rain In Texas formed the only exception to dry ness where oyerfall sown wheat Is in the ground. Bears looked in vain for any definite fresh argument favoring a de cline. Their offerings were at no time heavy and the advance only started had no serious backset. May ranged from 955s qS61hc and closed %c up at 969ss4961hc.
 Corn advanced on liberal purchases by the leading wheat longs. Lack of cars prevented big country receipts here Cash corn was firm. No. yellow finished at 5lq511Rc. The best buying of oats was To- cal in character but proved sufficient to bring about a rise with other grains. May sold from 34c to ssq1ac and in the end was 7sc above last night at 343sq341ae.
 Hogs today for the first time this sea son could be proftably cut up to make contract provisions. In consequence the market for hog products was strong re- sardless of influences usually potent for decline. After trading ceased pork was 90Q37Hc up, lard up 1712c and there was 1212Q20c rise in the case of ribs.
 Future quotations were as follows:

New Orleans. December 14.-Cotton fu-
 lures opened steady at an advance of 6 to S points on good cables. On the first call professionals who were short
 bought freely and immediately after com-
 mission houses had a good volume of fresh buying orders from outsiders to | fill. Private cablegrams from Liverpool stated the advance in that market was
 due to the growing belief in short crop ! estimates, and that important operators who have been bearish were taking the other side of the market. In. the early trading Liverpool led the advance in this market At the end of the first half
 hour of business the trading months were 10 10 points up.
 The market was quiet but steady throughout the morning session. Many telegrams were received from every state in the cotton belt. reporting a sharp falling off in the amount of cotton ginned
 and in many instances placing the mum Der of bales turned out by ginneries in this last period at only from one-quarter
 to one-third of what was ginned during the same period last season. This en- couraged buying for both accounts, but
 the steadiness of the market brought out realizing on rather a large scale, which prevented a rise At the highest of
 the morning prices were 10 to Il points
 up. At noon they were to points over
 yesterdays close
 In the afternoon session the market ex- hibited considerable activity At 2 o'clock
 prices were 16 to IS points over yester- days close as the result of fresh buy steady at Het advance of to 14 points.

Hubbard Bvos. S Co.'S Letter

New York. December 14.-(Specla1.9- It is generally believed that since the government prop estimate was issued the markets have been called upon to absorb one or more large lines of long cotton and the rumor was current to- day that this liquidation was over. Al that point the trade became free buy CTS on the expectation of a very bull- ish ginners' report to be issued on De- cember 20, which we are all led to be- lieve will sustain the small crop esti- mate of the government and lead to a sharp demand for cotton. The move ment continues on a very large scale but Is entirely disregarded, the. views of the trade being concentrated on the information which they hear about the einners and not what they see comin.l into sight. Liverpool and Manchester are under similar influences so the en- tire trade Is bullish, though specula- ton Is not active.
