SMART TRADING
OFF The BOARD

Comparatively heavy trading off the
hoard marks the beginning of the
week with the Honolulu Stock Elk
change. While several sugar stocks
are moving freely, prices are too
steady to give any suspicion of a boom
There is a strong conservative impress
sion abroad, which is. reflected in
transactions, that stocks are quite high
enough for any situation in the sugar
market which is likely to exist for a
year to come
In a goodly list of sales between ses-
sions recorded today, there is no
change in any stock to note At to-
days board the only change from last
previous quotations is in Pioneer, five

WEEKLY LETTER
OF HENRY CLEW5

Henry Clews of New York, in his
special letter Of July IS, says the July
report of the Department of Agricul-
ture exercised a depressing influence
on the stock exchange price level, the
situation becoming one of extreme
dullness. 1T is significant, however"
the letter remarks, that some degree
of recovery in quotations ensued and
that there was no evidence of the
pressure Of general liquidation
In further discussion of the facts,
Mr. Clews largely discounts the dis
couraging effects of the governments
crop report. Among other things he
says:
But taking the grain report at its
face value, and, for argument, ignor-
ing the favorable developments that
have since resulted, the harvest pros
poets must still be regarded far above
the average"
He gives figures to show a total
wheat crop 100000 bushels in excess
OF last years. Also he is not certain
that the yield of corn will not ulti-
mately prove a record breaker. THE
feed crops, hay and oats, are unques-
tionably much below last year. And
this is a fact that will mean a large
increase in the demand for corn as a
substitute.
Taking a broad view, therefore, of
the agricultural prospects, with a
100000 and 100000 bales-almost
assured, with corn not unlikely to
reach a high-water mark, and with
wheat well above the average, it is
! certainly too early to take pessi-
mistic view either of the volume OF
! the crops or the prospects for i'm
proved trade and industry that will
follow continued agricultural prosper.
ity
aside from the disappointing
character of the agricultural report,
operators have been influenced some
what by sudden decline in New York
bank reserves. This decline is prob
ably temporary and is unquestionably
connected, either directly or indirect,
! ly, with the payments for the Panama
bonds and also with the large semi
annual dividend and interest disburse,
ments. Money will undoubtedly re-
turn to the banks as soon as the July
dividend and interest payments in
due course regain circulation"
; Mr.. Clews concludes that, while
! the immediate outlook suggests eau,
ton in the selection of securities, the
long-range view is not discouraging

A good deal of time was devoted to-
discussion of the work to combat the
ravages of the Mediterranean fruit

PRESIDENT TAFT IS
AT DENVER TODAY

DENVER, Colo, Oct 3.-President
William H. Taft arrived in Denver
this forenoon He breakfasted at the
country club as the guest Of the Yale
association. He then delivered a
speech before the students of Denver
University. At II o'clock he address,
ed the Public Lands convention, now
in session in this city. The afternoon
was spent visiting the ball park and
in an automobile trip around the town.
This evening he will attend a banquet
given in his honor by the members of
the Denver Chamber Of Commerce.
An opportunity was given President
Taft when he arrived this morning to
make good on his statement that
words are good only when backed by
deeds,' when the Denver Daily Ex-

from the dam without warning, and a
solid sheet, fifty feet high, rolled down
the little valley at terrific speed, car
rying everything before it. Houses
were picked up like straws and whirl-

to bits. Those caught in the torrent
had no chance to escape.
Large numbers of those who were
killed were caught In their homes,
where they were engaged in household
duties with no thought of danger.
Those who escaped death by drown
ing were crushed to death by the tim
bers and debris that followed the first

ArOuses Much Enthusiasm.

President Taft aroused much enthus-
iasm when he took the Public Lands
congress to task in his speech before
the convention He told them that their
condemnation of the leasing system
was wrong, and advised them to be
ready to make concessions if they ap-
pear before congress with an recon-
mendations which he opposed
In talking of the question of leas-
ing lands, President Taft said Your
problem and my problem is to develop
the land; to get capital and settlers
upon it. Your proposition is that the
leasing system will not bring capital;
my proposition is that it will. l want
to warn you that when you send this
committee to congress you had better
give them quiet authority to make
concessions such as hardly agree with
your resolutions.
More than 10000 people crowded
around the prostrum while he was
speaking, and they applauded him
when he thus hurled defiance at the
convention. His attitude aroused
enthusiasm among those who heard
him.
