TRADE IMPROVED
FIRST OF YEAR

Dun's Review for February opens
its leading article with the following
encouraging summary of the business
situation at the end of January:
Improving outlook in iron and steel,
greater interest in dry goods. larger
dealings in hides and leather, general
ly excellent crop advices, an expand
ing market for bonds, facilitated py
the continuing ease in money; the in
dications of an increasing American
credit balance abroad, due in part to
the better conditions in foreign COM
merce; and the action of the Union Pa.
Icific system in voting to spend $751;
100000 in the next few years in dou-
ble-tracking the road-these are signs
of forward movement which serve
to inspire larger confidence among
business men in all branches of trade
and industry, in spite of the fact that
the volume of transactions is still be-
low the point of normal output While
bank clearings report a decrease Of
2.6 per cent outside OF New York and
1913 per cent in New York as compared
with 1910 and only moderate gains as
compared with 1909, this fact would,
in the light of the more hopeful feel
ing that exists, seem to represent more
the past than the future It is signif
icant, moreover, that railroad earnings,
notwithstanding the late increase in
number of idle cars, are so well main

dealt with piece of land given over
by Kamehameha III. 1t was admitted
that the land was the absolute proper
ty of the King, to do with as he liked
but it was found that there was some
flaw in the ma.-er, And although the
recipient had held the deed since 1889.
the question Of ownership was now
. being brought up. The committee said
that although it had investigated the
question and had found that the claim
of Henry Smith as trustee was an
equitable one, it would not attempt to
do anything in the way of advising the
Governor as to what course that body
thought he should pursue.
This was deferred on the under
standing that the matter be brought
up later when the appropriation bill IS
being discussed.
The Senate adjourned until a quar-
ter past eight tomorrow morning. AS
it was raining heavily at the time,
some fears were expressed that the
inspection of the forts would not be
possible, but this will have to be de-
cided by the state of the weather at
the time due for starting.
