MARKET LETTER
OF TRENT TRUST

Stock values were very well sustain.
ed during the week under review with
no slackening in the demand which is
becoming general.
An indication of the better tone the
market is enjoying is shown by the
lack of purchaseable stock. 1t is al
most impossible to secure offerings of
any good-sized blocks of stock even at
prices slightly in advance of the last
previous sales. This, of course, leads
one to believe that stocks are now in
better hands or more widely distribut-
ed. The holders evidently have decid-
ed to await the return to higher levels
of value, and to increase their hold
ings should a decline take place in the
interval.
No encouragement can be gathered
from recent sugar quotations, viz So 81
for centrifugals, with all indications
pointing toward lower figures in the
near future.
The average price of centrifugals in
New York for 1910 was $4.1S5, which
is the highest average since 1900 with
the exception of 1905 when the aver
age was $4.272.
The following figures represent the
yearly average for ten years.
1910 "a. 1888; 1909 81 OO7; 1908 81. O7S
1907 SO 756; 1906 SO $50; 1905 81 27S;
1904 SO. 974; 1903 $S.72; 1902 SO 542;
1901 81 .047.
1t is readily seen that the only time
the price of raw sugar averaged as
low as predicted in some quarters for
this year, viz. SO so, was in 1902 when
the average was SO .542. The average
for the past ten years was So. 927.
Among the local stocks, trading was
of comparatively small volume with
Eva the favorite, all of which changed
hands at $27 So. Oahu coming next
with sales at $26 and $26 .25 Some

QUARRY FOR ROCK
ON BREAKWATER

James l.. Young, of the Lord-Young
Company, returned this morning from
Hilo where he had been, in company
with Mr. Lord, making preparations
for continuing work on the breakwa-
ter. Mr.. Lord remained over and will
not return to Honolulu until opera
tions are well under way.
Mr.. Young explained this morning
that his personal attention at Hilo was
given largely to the selection of a suit
able quarry for rock A very good To-
cation was picked out on the property
of Judge Andrews, and the quarry will
be opened up at once. This site is
on the Waiakea side of the town, and
the rock there is said to be of a very
fine quality for the purposes in hand.
Mr.. Young states that numerous
plans are being laid out for expediting
the work on the breakwater, and he
believes that the end of the next Pc
riod will show more than satisfactory
progress.

The Novelty.

The Novelty still has large audiences
to each show, and there is no diminu-
ton there no matter how many count
er attractions there are. The Van
Barkleys are still in possession of the
premier position, and although in their
sixth week, they are going as strong
as ever. Little Jimmy is still doing
a single turn, and this meets with
warm approval each evening. Miss
Margaret Lowell sings her ballads just
as successfully as ever There is, as
usual, some splendid films being dis
played, and these embrace a variety of
subjects. The Novelty 10 noted for
its capital film service. Amateur night
during the week was q pronounced sue
cess, and this will become a feature Of
this house each week.

At THE THEATERS

Last night was busy night at all
the theaters, the principal features be-
Ing the amateur trials at the Bijou and
the Empire. These trials are becom-
ing a recognized institution, for ap-
parently encouraged by the success
that the Biiou met with, the Empire
and the Novelty have now followed
suit and the Savoy has one listed for
Wednesday night. There seem to be
many people in Honolulu under the i'm
preston that they have latent ability,
but judging by the acts that they sub
NIT they are under a false impression.
Many there are, of course, who really
nave ability, crude in many instances,
but still it is there, and only requires
developing This is the idea of anna
teur night, and all are invited to send
their names to the managers of the
theaters who hold these sessions.

Fun At Empire.

The Empire theater had its record
audience last evening. Most of the
evening every seat was taken and
every particle of standing room occu-
pied. Ticket selling was stopped early
in the evening and did not begin again
until quite late. Manager Jack Scully
and his large corps of ushers mad all
they could do to get the big crowd
comfortably placed. Withal, every
body had the finest kind of time, the
program being one of the heaviest and
best ever staged in this city.
The Musical Bentleys, with the Ma
rimba Xylophone, are the big card at
the Empire. This is a grand instru-
ment, its music being unusually sweet;
and The Musical Bentleys are experts
in handling it. The pretty Gladstone
sisters appeared again, delighting
everyone with their singing and aero
batic stunts.
1t was the Empires first EFFORT at
holding an amateur night" but the
attempt was a complete success. A
large number OF local entertainers
responded to the invitation to par
ticipate. and some real clever stunts
were put on. Manager Scully was so
pleased with the success of this fea-
ture that It will be repeated at reg.
ular intervals.

Sugar has been on the downgrade

expense of the show the management
has been reluctantly compelled to

prevail next week will be ten, ffteer

be held on Wednesday and Saturday

STOCKS CLOSE THE
WEEK QUITE FIRM

The stock market reaches the end
of the present week in fairly salts
factory condition. Figures as a whole
do not appear quite so strong, per-
haps, today as yesterday; but this is
probably due to the departure of the
coast mail and the usual rush of sa-
turday morning business, coupled with
the payment of dividends in some
cases earlier in the day.
A sale of Hawaiian Sugar was made
at $94, there being 80 shares in the
transaction. The last previous sale
of this stock was at s34 At the close
this morning S33 so was bid for it, but
none came out.
A block of % Eva sold at. $27.5O, af-
ter which the same was asked for
more, while SPITE was bid. The
last previous sale was at s27 50.
A block of 80 McBryde sold at a.,
which was the basis of the last pre-
vious transaction. At the close this
morning the same was bid for more.
while $425 was asked.
A block of Waialua sold at $50,
after which $50 was bid and $92 so
asked. Thy last previous sale was on
basis of $S5.
Between boards 80 Brewery sold at

EXPERT SAYS
HAWAII TOBACCO
IS A SUCCESS

HILO Jan. 10.-Gustav Kretz-
SEMINAR the well known Hamakua TO-
bacco planter has received a letter
from Hirsch & Son. large importers
Of Sumatra and Havana tobacco. with
headquarters in New York, in which
full confirmation is given of the claim
always made by the Paauilo man.
namely, that the Hamakua district
was far better suited for the produc-
ton of fine tobacco than any other
part of the Islands.
Some time ago Mr.. Kretzschmar
sent some samples of tobacco raised
on his farm 10 the firm mentioned. and
in reply thereto he has received the
following letter:
New York, Dec. 10. 1910
Mr.. Gustav Kretzscbmar,
Paauilo Tobacco Farm,
Hamakua, Hawaii.
Dear Sir:-Your favor of the 25th
ultimo, received; the samples you sent
us have also been received.
We have carefully examined and
studied the tobacco and are of the
opinion that the tobacco will cure out
well. It is the best Hawaiian tobac-
co which we have seen. it is far SUI
perior to the tobaccos from the other
sections inasmuch as IL is perfect
burning tobacco, and as you know.
that is the most essential point for a
tobacco for wrapper purposes. It COM
pares favorably with Sumatra tobac-
co; of course Sumatra tobacco is
thinner of leaf and has a much thin
ner stem and finer finish. But Su-
matra tobacco has to pay a duty of
81 .S5, whereas this tobacco would
come in free.
At the present time, there is a lot
of Connecticut shade grown tobacco
used in place of Sumatra tobacco
This year the crop of shade grown
tobacco in the state of Connecticut
was exceptionally good and this COM
ing year arrangements have been
made by large planters to more thar

A good deal depends on how your
tobacco will cure out and whether OF
mot the veins and leaves will come
out in even, uniform colors.
We are firmly convinced that there
is future to this kind of tobacco and
that a ready market can be found fol
same.
We remain,
Yours very truly,
