Saturday Club Meeting.

The Saturday club held its week
ly meeting at the home of Mrs.
Louise Dial Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Mamie Woodbury. had the pap
er of the day, the subject being
Immigration. Statistics were CIV
en- showing the numbers of foreign
ers who come to our shores, and the
various laws governing immigration
were discussed. Mrs. Woodbury. said
that in her reading up on the sub
ject, she found that while some years
ago there was much opposition to
the entrance of many classes of
foreigners into the United States,
that the tendency seems to he the
other way now, and while the re-
strictions are carefully guarded,
there is net so much real opposition
as formerly. A general discussion of
the subjectfollowed the reading Of
the paper, members Of the club ex-
pressing themselves quite freely on
the subject.
The ladies have in hand the pro-
curing of some person to come and
talk on some subject, instead of the
Gala Day that has been their custom
for some years.
The distribution of Red Cross
Seals to the various members to be
sold was made, and this will be push
ed, the ladies hope as much as in
other wears. They will be for sale
in several stores in the city, and a
booth will sell them at the Metho-
dist Bazaar next Tuesday
The meeting on next Saturday
will be with Mrs. Sarah Twins, and
will be Christmas Musicale. This
will be made up Of numbers given
by members of the club.

Earl r. Taber is a grandson of CYRUS

AN EMPIRE CoTILLloN.

The hostess who wants to entertain
well and does not have to count pen
MES should give an empire cottillon,
The idea would lend itself charmingly
to the decorations and favors.
Empire wreaths and garlands pf
pink and white roses should decorate
the walls. Tall dull gold empire bas-
kets with long handles filed with the
same flower should be placed about
the rooms. And empire screens could
shade the electric lights to give the
soft glow of innumerable wax candles.
For favors she would have many
charming conceits to choose from
Among the prettiest would be pincu-
shions in the shape of these small EN-.
pire baskets. Their centers are stud,
ded for the cushion, and they are made
of dull furnished gold, in wicker, with
the edges and handles twined with
wreaths of small satin flowers.
And empire work bags made of dull
brocade with furnished gold trim
mings, and the picture of some beauty
of the French courts framed on the
side make stunning favors.
Empire scarfs in shaded pink and
white, gold and white, and the green
and white of that period are infinitely
attractive used as favors.
Small gilt mirrors in empire design
furnished gold jewel boxes as typical
of that charming day, and tiny fam
make lovely favors.
Then if all the girls wore empire
frocks, and empire wreaths of pink
and white roses were given them to
carry over their arms, a fascinating
effect would be attained.
The empire idea should also be car
ried out in the supper room, the table
decorations of gilded empire baskets
filled with pink and white roses. This
idea should show itself in the ices, anC

NEW HOME SITES
ON PAL0L0 HILL

Without going personally over the
property, one can gam but a slight
conception of the immensely of the
project now being worked out by the
Kaimuki Land Company on the hills
between aimuki and Palolo valley
There are twelve sections in this vast
Palolo tract of land, and they are di-
vided. into something like 1900 large
lots, leaving spaces for streets,
churches, schools, public parks and
other such purposes.
On this immense area the Kaimuki
Land Company is practically laying
the foundation of a suburban city.
, Streets are being established and wa.
ter will be laid on the entire place
from the Palolo crater above.
At present big gangs of men are
engaged building two roads to the top
and around the brow of Palolo hill.
One of these will be an avenue, run
ming sharply up the hill at a grade of
about fifteen per cent. By going up
on the winding road and coming down
on this avenue the travel will be quite
easy if not really exciting.
The view from this tract is some.
thing immense. The Kaimulxi view is
hard to beat-but, Oh, Palolo hill!
From point about halfway up the
hill the whole country from Moanalua
to Koko Head can be seen, to say
nothing of the miles and miles of sea
view.
The air at this place is admitted by
physicians to be purer than any other
around Honolulu. Having a full sweep
from both mountains and sea, there is
constant breeze and the temperature
is delightfully."- even at all times.
This pure air means health, and the
value of the property>is enhanced
thereby manifold.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Stanton, Of
the Kaimuki Land Company, to com
plete the improvements on this prop
erty as quickly as possible. The sale
of lots has already started and is In
full swing. In the next few weeks il
is anticipated that there will be q
great rush for these lots, many of the
purchasers being wealthy people OF
the mainland who will build winter
homes there.
Mr.. Stations assistant will be sta
toned at the property this afternoon
and tomorrow to show the lots to pros
pective purchasers. The Kaimuh cars
pass near the edge of the tract

MARKET LETTER
Of TRENT TRUST

The Trent Trust Company last
night sent the following letter on
| stocks to the other Islands:
With the increased arrival of new
crop Cuban in the New York market
the long anticipated drop in the price
of Raw Sugar has finally become a
reality
Our recent prediction to the effect
that a lower quotation on centrifugals
will not necessarily mean lower sugar
stocks values seems to be borne out
by the present situation. Today Raw
Sugar is quoted at $3.4S while stocks
are selling at slightly higher figures
than few months ago when sugar
was quoted at $3.50. The present
price of Raws is becoming less a
factor on which to base stock values.
Holders of shares have decided to
be content with lower yields for this
year. for, with nothing to suggest
another year of depressed Raw Sugar,
the next crop may witness return
to the dividend earnings Of 1910.
The undertone of the market re-
manned strong, adverse reports such
as the published account of labor
troubles on Kauai having no effect
whatsoever.
Among the other securities the in
crease in Hawaiian Pineapple is
worthy of mention. Sales were made
today at $50 90 per share, which re-
gisters an increase Of So. 90 per share
since the first of the year The con-
templated raise in dividends to 25c
is of course responsible for this i'm
provement. This will increase the
attention that is being focused at
present on the pineapple industry
generally.
Stock sales dul.zs tne week were
fairly evenly divided. Honokaa chang
cd hands freely at 81 90 the forepart
of the week, and is still on demand
at this figure. Olaa sold at 81. 90 in
large blocks. Oahu and Eva sold
freely at last weeks prices. Pioneer
went up to $3.50. 90 and is in demand
at the same price. The only weak
ness developed daring the week was
in H. c. & S. CO., which upon San
Francisco advices was offered down
to $33 so, with lighter local de-
mand. A sale of 100 Mutual Tele-
phone stock at $1S. so is of interes
as this is the first sale for a con
siderable period. Bonds also came il
for some trading but at lower figures

OAHU IS AGAIN IN
STRONG DEMAND

Oahu has furnished a good deal of
the life in stocks since noon yester-
day, bidding for the paper being quite
general At the same timd, there
seems to be considerable of the stock
on the market, enough, perhaps, to
check anything like a bullish move
ment. Sales on the street have been
70, 25 and 10 shares at $26 20, which
was the exact basis of the last pre-
vious transaction. At the close this
morning S26125 was bid and $26 375
asked for the stock.
A block of 65 Olaa changed hands at

A block of Hawaiian Pineapple
was sold at $3.50, the basis of the last
previous transaction. This morning,
however, the stock seemed to be weak

A block of 10 Mutual Telephone sold
on the street at $13 so, the same as

RAINS REPORTED
ON OTHER ISLANDS

Reports received by Hacllfeld &
Company this morning from Hawaii
tell of frequent rains in the sugar
belt Of the north side. In and near
Hilo the fall has been considerable,
although not enough to do any large
damage. I'm fact, to GATE it is not
thought that the unusually heavy PIE
ciptation has affected the juice at
all to the bad.
In Hamakua the fall has been
steady. This kind of rain over there
does no harm, as a rule, inasmuch
as the water quickly sinks in. At
Honokaa and Pacific Sugar, for in
stance, there has been no appreci-
able injury to cane or juice.
The same company heard from
Maui, the report being that excellent
rains have fallen at Pioneer Mill.
No harm has been done, in fact the
additional water at this time has
been OF advantage. Grinding is go
ing on without particular Interrupt
ton.
In the, Kau district of Hawaii
showers have been frequent and of
big advantage. The fall in this dis
trict for the past six months has
been unusually heavy, but no harm
has been done

Is published the following in regard to
the business situation:
Trade shows an increasing disposi-
ton to throw off the quiet of the post
holiday period. Wholesalers are seek
ing with fair success for spring bust
ness and statesmen are beginning to
send in orders.
In retail lines the clearance sale is
widely in evidence. Except where UNI
reasonable weather checks operations,
retailers are meeting with fair sue
cess. ~S
In the wholesale and jobbing trade
conservatism governs.
Much the same feeling animates cot
ton manufacturers, who find margins
in raw and manufacturer narrow. This
has had a stimulating effect on prices
of high grade cotton goods. In other
lines conservatism is patent. A gen.
eral curtailment of leather output is
| APPARENTLY traded upon. Iron and steel
are quiet and pig iron prices are still
low.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending January 18th were

like week of 1910, 319 in 1909, 431 in
1908 and 234 in 1907.
Business failures in Canada for the
week ending Thursday number thirty
three, which contrasts with twenty
seven last week and with forty-four for
the corresponding week in 1910.
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the

In order that there be TO misunder-

MEXICAN COFFEE SEED.

While Mr.. Ables was in Mexico he
secured a few pounds of choice coffee
seed of that country, which, upon his
return, he turned over to the McChes-
ney Coffee Company. The latter would
be pleased to send it out to planters in
small quantities for planting, and will
do so upon receipt of stamps for mail
ing. 1t is desired that only bona fide
eXperimenters ask for the seed, as
the quantity is limited.
