Benefit Only for Europe.

NEW YORK, June 81. - Twelve
stout tugboats strained and pulled on
the White Star liner Olympic today
IN her arrival from England, warping
The giant steamship Of the seas into
her dock. The Olympic was given a
noisy welcome as she moved up the
Hudson river, escorted by n fleet of
tugs that darted alongside like pilot
fish after shark.
The berthing of the Olympic, with
her SS2h feet of length was no small
task. The Federal Government had
permitted an extension of one pier
INTO the river in order to dock the
Olympic, but the greatest care had to
be exercised 10 prevent the liner from
carrying away the new temporary
Extra dock.
The Olympic made an average speed
# 2ll7 knots on her maiden run to
New York. covering the course In five
days, sixteen hours and forty-hve
minutes,
Julius Adler, the pilot who brought
the Olympic through the harbor lanesl
remarked as he rellnquished tho
wheel; She handles like a catboat."

Fear of the tariff talk in Washing
ton is the only possible explanation
of the present condition Of the Ho-
nolulu sugar stock market.
Money is plentiful. Loans can be
made at six per cent on any of the
standard securities.
The price of sugar Is higher than
was expected, except by the ultra OPP
timsts. and good cargoes will be sold
at four cents and better.
Crop conditions on the plantations
continue most satisfactory and the
outlook for the next season as far rs
physical conditions are concerned Is
all that could be asked.
In spite of all these favoring con
ditions. the stock market is far from
brisk and almost dull. Fear OF tht
unknown in tariff legislation Is the
only possible explanation of failure
to bid more actively. At the same
time It Is significant of the genera
confidence in the situation that ne
stock IL being thrown on the marke

SAYS CANAL Will
Be NO BENEFIT
Paris Business Men See Euro
pean Hold on South Ameri-
can Trade Tighten.

PARIS, France, June 3.-"Will the
Panama canal merely serve to
strengthen the trade relations be-
tween South America and Europe and
shut out the United States more than
ever?"
This Is the question American bus
mess men abroad are asking as evil
dence accumnlates that Europe is
making careful preparations to take
advantage of the great canal AS soon
rs it is opened The general opinion
is that the United States lacks II
sufficient merchant marine to utilize
its own opportunities. Several of the
leading South American republic. on
the other hand, are building special
ships for the Panama trade.
II was learned by the correspond
ent of the Daily News today that the
leading French lines. notably the
Compagnie Generate Transatlantique
and the Compagnie Franchise de Nav
| igation des Chargeurs Reunis, are pre-
pairing to meet the new conditions,
| especially aiming to secure the trade
| of the west coast of the two Ameri-
cas- A former project to reach these
| regious direct by way of the Suez
canal failed.
President Tafts statements that the
canal tolls will be 81 per gross ton
or the same as on the Suez waterway,
assures the practicability of the Pa
mama canal from Europes point of
view, although this rate will not pay
the expenses of the canal. Thus 1t is
apparent that unless the United
States develops trade by means Of its
own vessels it cannot profit from the
canal.
Europe Has Hold In South America.
| "The present preponderence OF
European influence in South Amer
ica," said the representative of large
American firm to the correspondent
Of the Daily News this morning, "is
due largely to the more intimate ac.
quaintance made through numerous

Italians have settled, was developed
by Italian steamship companies oper-
