AT the State Farm.

The public sale of horses and
mules at the State farm near Tillery
Tuesday drew quite a crowd. The
stock sold at fair prices and especial
ly was this true Of the young noun
tain horses offered by Congressman
r. L. Doughton, Of Allegheny
county.
Our visit was made quite pleasant
and interesting by look through
the camps. We found everything
clean and we'll arranged and the
health Of the convicts good, and
those we talked with expressed
themselves in the highest terms of
the management.
Camp No. l is looked after by
Supt. Christian and No. 2 by Supt.
C. J. Rhem. These are men Of ex-
perience and thoroughly understand
their business. DR.. F. M. Register
looks we'll after the health of the
camps, and Capt. J -. Laughinhouse
has Watchful eye over the entire
premises.
The work of gathering the crops,
which is the best, possibly, in the
history of the farm, is we'll under
way, yet there is lots of work to be
done.
The day at the farm was very
pleasantly spent and all visitors
spent the time well.

A farmer came into our office the

hay and hogs this year. He has

The Sugar Market

was exported from the United States
s6,40OOO0 worth Of refined sugar, while
s2 100000 worth was exported in 1909.
This shows that the refneries of the
country are finding a growing market
outside of the country for the greater
production, and it is probable that with
the greater crop in Hawaii and lower
crop in some other sections for cane
sugar, notably Louisiana, there will
be a balance for excellent dividends.
The Sugar Trade Journal for De-
cember %, says:
"Stocks are reduced to 57,042 tons,
the lowest point in ten years. Receipts
for the coming week or two must be
small and stocks further reduced, al
though the coming holidays will reduce

all special advantages afforded their
nationals by the South Manchurian
railway are no longer extended them,
and that the facilities offered by the
japanese bank in Manchuria are no
greater than foreign bank may offer
foreigners if it sees fit, while the other
advantages are only such as naturally
accrue to Japanese ON account of her
superior position in the country and
her greater knowledge of the people
and their customs. There is no doubt
some truth in all this; but foreigners
are disposed to contend that if the
monetary advantages afforded by the
Yokohama Specie Bank are supported
by money the government has Dor
rowed from Great Britain and other
foreign countries, then these foreign
investors are but lending capital for
the purpose of destroying their own
trade. There continues, therefore, to
circulate a strong feeling that present
conditions somewhat prejudice the
declaration respecting the "open door,
and equality of opportunity in the COM
merce of Manchuria.

MONEY Is EASY.

NEW YORK, December 90, 1870
A somewhat better tone has been main.
tanned in the security markets during
the past week, and this in spite of the
inactivity which usually develops dur.
ing the holiday season. The main cause
for betterment has been the investment
situation. This is probably more salts
factory than at any time for several
months. The decline in prices has
brought many securities to level that
now offers more reasonable returns.
Money is easy, and the low rates OBJ
tanned for loanable funds naturally
divert attention TO interest bearing
securities, For this reason the bond
outlook is much brighter and there is
already a larger inquiry for desirable
issues,
The January disbursements will be
larger than usual, being estimated as
high as S226,00O,0 600; and fair proper
ton of this sum always seeks reinvest'
ment in Wall Street. Another encolr
aging feature Is the better demand for
American investments by European
buyers. There have been fairly liberal
sales Of bonds 10 Europe during the
last few days and international bank
ing houses report conditions as favor
able 10 the further placing Of good
issues. Many of our best railrone
stocks are now selling at prices which

TSUKAMOTO STARTS
INTO TRAIN HARD

Tsukamoto, the Japanese long dis
lance runner, has started training for
race with Kaoo and King. If the
latter does not return to Honolulu be-
fore Washington IS Birthday, the event
will resolve itself into duel between
the "Waialua Horse" and the gentle
man from Nippon.
The japanese wonder ran thirty
miles race on September II, at Kuma-
motto, near Toxic, Japan, and against
nine students from a medical college,
won easily enough by three-quarters of
a mile. TsukamotO s time for the dis
lance was three hours twenty minutes,
and he must have gone some to do the
thirty miles on the road in that time.
KaOo is rather inclined to wait till
King arrives from the Coast, but his
manager and trainers are determined
to try and get the old fellow to once
more show Tsukamoto that, over any
old distance, the Hawaiian can win.
Jackson IS training Tsukamoto, and
he is showing the Japanese all the
wrinkles learned from King. The
marathon kid says that Tsukamoto
looks better than ever he did, and that
he viii train faithfully for the big race.
In that ease, great struggle is sure

FOREIGN FIRMS
CANNOT COMPETE
Complaint That Government Aid
to Japanese Gives Monopoly
in ManChuria.

TOXIC, December 15.-Among for
eign merchants in the Far East there
is the persistent expression of opinion
that japan is gradually preparing the
way for a monopolization of Manchu-
rian trade. The "door" is open, but
not sufficiently ajar for the big-boned
foreigner to get in comfortably, or
while he is getting in the smaller and
more 1.-the Japanese competitor gets in
and "takes the cake.' The opening
of Port krthur to the trade of the
world, which was hailed by the Japan
csc as atfording an extra facility for
the promotion of Manchurian trade, is
now declared by the foreign merchants
to be an advantage in name only, for
the reason that the part of the port
open TO merchant shipping is meager
and with no accommodation such as
quays machinery and docks, these be-
ing reserved for the portion of the
harbor allotted to the japanese navy.
The conditions are, therefore, regarded
as favoring Japanese as against for
eigners.
The old complaint continues to be
reiterated that Japan is affording to
her own nationals in Manehuria tradal
advantages denied their foreign com
petitors, and the complaint appears to
be based on solid ground. This state
ment is made on facts admitted true by
the japanese themselves One of the
leading Japanese firms in Manchuria
some lime ago definitely affirmed the
enjoyment OF such special favor in

japanese government ln December
