! In the face Of this a general stagna.

fact that majority Of the Democrats
themselves, including some of those
now holding office, disapprove of this
plank increases the aversion with
which it is regarded.
As the last shipment of the present
crop is being loaded, interest and specu.
lation concerns itself chiefly with the
1911 campaign. President Morgan of
the chamber of commerce predicted that
this crop is the largest that will be
harvested in Hawaii, hut reports from
the plantations indicate otherwise.
The worlds market has remained
generally steady, and crop reports for
the coming season do not indicate any
thing extraordinary. Alexander &
Baldwin yesterday received a cable
from San Francisco, stating that re-
fined sugar had dropped ten cents on
the hundred pounds. The arrival of the
Lyra at San Francisco with cargo of
refined from the Atlantic Coast is sup
posed to be responsible for the drop, as
this was the object of this particular
piece of sugar manipulation.

JAVA CROP FIGURES.

WASHINGTON, August 91.-The an.
nual report of the Java Bank contains
some interesting figures concerning the
principal agricultural products of Java.
r'e production of sugar. for instance,
has been very favorable during 1909, as
$50 factories produced 2O,2Os, 900 piculs
(Javan picul equal 1876 pounds), which
is about 100000 piculs more than in
1908. This quantity changed hands at
an average price of $50 forms (florin
equals 40 10 cents) for Muscovados.
The Deli tobacco crop yielded 271, $50
bales, being about 1000 bales less than
a year ago. The average price per half
kilo q 10 pounds) was Ito forms,
against 0.91 of a form, and the total
value of the crop has been fixed at
46,6OO,O00 forms, or nearly 100000
forms more. The crop of Java tobacco
was disappointing, 560,013 bales being
exported, or n decrease of 10000 bales.
The proceeds were only 25,740,000
florins, against 32400,OOO forms in
1908. The cultivation of tea is also
constantly advancing, so that in 1909
20,176,376 kilos were exported from
Java, against 15979,269 kilos in 1908
This culture will be still more largely
extended, foreign capitalists also being
interested OF copra, 129,OS9 tons, at a
value of 25,6O0O00 forms, have been
shipped from Netherlands East India,

territorial railroad systems by visiting
railroad men from the Coast, the Oahu
Railway coming in for particularly
good sized portion Recent visitors
connected with the largest systems of

at the amount of business transacted
over such a comparatively small mile
age as is possessed by the Oahu Rail

The engineering work of the Hilo
Railroad is equally the recipient of
praise from other standpoints The

advertised roads in the country stated
recently that he was greatly surprised

ALCOHOL I'M MEDICINES.

Alcohol is the best known preserva-

average proprietary medicine contains
from 1eo to 22gS, which is the smallest
possible amount TO preserve the ingre-

scription contains from $3.50 to 500.
Such standard preparations as Lydia

Compound up in tablet form, which the
over-serupulous woman, who objects to
alcohol in any degree, may use.

DENVER-Wiiliam A. Orion, IN

officials OF the Great Western Company
Informed them the government would
establish station in the Arkansas Val

teaching the farmers the best method
for raising beets and overcoming some
of the difficulties encountered in the
work.
The growing of beets with larger
percentage of sugar than they possess
at present will be one of the expert

The government is also DESTROYS OF

ton available at present. The site fol

is calculated that there is no more suit
able county in the United Kingdom for
the production of this crop than Kent
in which mangolds are grown with
great success. Should the experiment
prove success, great impetus will be
given to the movement for the produc-

been found for utilizing the areas
which were once devoted to the growth
of hops, the demand for which seems
to be steadily decreasing.

BOND REVIEW.

There has been a great deal Of dis.
eussion on the streets during the week
regarding the quotations on local bonds,
which are stated by some to be lower
than their real values and by others
to be too high for profitable invest
ment.
1t depends largely on the speaker s
position in the local financial world as
TO what side of the question he II take
but there, is 4 general feeling that
bonds should 60 higher and probably
will.
Hamakua Ditch 6s quoted last at 1O4
sIe noted as one of those securities
where the present value is below the
logical value of such an investment.
Actual figures show that the bond
market, particularly on the Coast, is
recovering from severe depression
which it experienced earlier in the year.
Bonds which were then quoted at
prices five or six or even ten points
lONtT lHdu ludL WHICH Hdu COlht W We
considered their normal current valua-
tion have now recovered completely, or
at least started to. In several cases
the higher figure has been exceeded by
present quotations.
E. H. Rollins & Sons, national house
of undoubted authority, stated in a re-
cent circular:
"The most marked change is that
which has occurred in the quoted value
of even the best municipal, railway and
corporation bonds. 1t is, however,
gratifying to note that the reduction
in price is not caused by or attendent
with. an impairment of the fundamental
security behind the bonds themselves. -
In regard to investment they say
further:
"The Importance of the present sit
nation lies in the fact that without
the sacrifice of the security of your
principal and interest you can obtain
good bonds at price level sufficiently
low not only to produce larger in
Gomez than formerly, but probably a
profit based on evidences, even now ap-
parent, of a gradual return to former
levels.'F
This statement is applied by local
bond brokers to the local market and
probably, though stated in connection
with Californian securities, fits the local
conditions as well.

A suggestion advanced in this column
last week regarding a semi.official sane
tion being granted to companies desir-
ing to sell stocks in the city in order
to weed out undesirable propositions,
was trife too eagerly taken up in
several quarters. One man selling oil
stock amended it so far as to add that
each company placing its prospectus
before the committee for investigation
should pay fee of $50.
That would be manifestly unfair
ANY company has right to sell stock
without paying for the right. The in
vestigation proposed was only to stoi

that the European Medical Expert
and bloodless surgeon would attend
to their ills. One man who was in
the reception room stated that his
name was Mr.. e. S. Dougherty, of

suited several physicians. One
prominent physician stated he had
appendicitis and nothing but the
knife would save him. He heard of

by the expert, and he told him he
could remove the gall stones in "a

BOY WALKS
WONDERFUL WORK OF FER-DON'S EXPERTS

In the case of little Joe Goldberg,
living at TIA Market street, Oakland,
Fer-Don and his European Medical
Expert have made two hearts beat
with Joy. Little Joe has been going
around with crutches on the streets
of Oakland, selling matches and
newspapers for the support of his
mother and three brothers and sis
ters. Joe had been troubled with
hip-joint disease. Since the arrival
of Fer-Dons Medical Experts in
California and Oregon many mira
cles have been performed. The deaf
have been made. to hear, the par
alytic, the rheumatic and the cripple
have been made to walk. After Fer
Don's bloodless surgeons treated Joe
twice his crutches were thrown away
and Joe is now relieved of his dire
affliction and can run, leap and walk
like other boys. To newspaper re-
porter Mrs. Goldberg said:
II am SO happy. Just think my
boy was cripple on crutches seven
years; now he is well like other boys.
If had lots of money 1 would give
it all to this great man, Fer-Don."
There is joy and happiness today
in the home of little Esther Good
man at $50 Madison street, and the
cause of the happiness is found in a
brief story related in the offices of
Fer-Don's doctors yesterday. In the
presence of the large crowd that was
waiting for an opportunity
