Sales and Increases In

with sales to date 30 far this month

pass the $4,000 mark before the be-
ginning Of the new year. All along
the line in real estate transactions
Honolulu 10 beginning 70 feel tho
effects Of the prosperity Of the year
1911, which has been especially felt in
this Territory. From the outside has
come new blood and new capital, but
it is TO those who know and love her
best that is due the spread Of develop
ment and the march Of progress, the
building up Of middleclass homes and
the extension of the real city. The
Kaimuki Land Company is only one Of
those who deal in real estate to feel
the effects of all this.
Charles Stanton, manager of the
Kaimuki Land Company, was enthusi.
astic yesterday over the outlook.
"The company expects to sell $40,-
900 worth of Kaimpld property during
this month";" said Mr.. Stanton. $50
far we have sold 1922, 800 worth, inelud-
ing two houses on Palolo Hill, and
twenty-nine lots. So great is the de-
mand at the original prices and SO
fast is the property in this beautiful
district being disposed of that we may
increase the prices at this time, or
withdraw from the market a great deal
of our Palolo Hill property and the
few remaining lots we have in the
Ocean View Tract. There is going to
be considerable activity in Honolulu
real estate in the next few years and
feel that we should share little in
the increased values which are bound
to come. Only last week four lots sold
for $4,000 that my company sold just a
little while ago for $1,000 and many
other sales have been made at profit.
Everybody may as well look for some
big things in the real estate line next
year. Our business during the past
year has been most satisfactory and we
are making preparations to do more in
the future than we have already done"

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

In spite Of fluctuations the prices Of
stocks are ruling steady at the end of
the second week Of the awakening of
values and the week closed yesterday
with considerable activity and
steady demand. One of the curious
features of the market, however, was
the falling of in prices asked for
stocks which have just paid out large
extra dividends. One case in point is
that of Waialua, which paid So share
dividends for the month of December.
Yesterday this stock slumped from
1880 to 1890 fat and only 1880
bid. Evidently many who have held
this stock to draw dividends for Christ
mas are now willing to let it go at a
sacrifice rather than hold it for the next
dividend day.
During the past week, however, Oahu
Sugar stock was the lively trading
stock, and while the fluctuations were
small, ranging from 31.s75 to 1926
the demand brought out total of 1898
shares which changed hands. Another
active stock, which would have been
still more active if there had been
more on the market, was that of the
Hawaiian Pineapple Company, which
has gone up in few weeks from $500
to 1890. There has been demand for
olaa also lately and for time it ruled
at 1878, but yesterday it was at $50
Altogether for the past week there
were sales of 2453 shares Of stock of
a total value of S75,113.25. The sales
yesterday on the stock exchange were

COMMERCIAL NOTES.

Through the Hawaiian Trust Com
,pany, agent for the c. Brewer Estate,
the latter has petitioned the court to
permit of an increase of its capital
stock from 100000 to 81 100000. This
is preliminary to the proposed building
of business block at Hotel and Union
streets. George N. Wilcox is the prin-
cipal holder of this stock.
There is every chance now that the
plans for the Hilo wharf viii go ahead
without hitch, particularly as. the
board of harbor commissioners intends
to submit as quickly as possible to the
Hilo Railroad Company and other par
ties interested the form of agreement
for the use of the wharf by the railroad
and the steamship companies. The plans
upon which this agreement is to be
based are practically complete.
:, More than ever before, and in a
measure formerly undreamed of, the use
of electrical appliances are coming into
vogue in connection with the semi
trOpic housekeeping in Honolulu and
other towns in the Territory. Many OF
these practical appliances are now be-
ing handled by the Hawaiian Electric
Company, the Island Iyestment Com
pany and the yOn Haplm- Young Com
pany.
The Cuban. American Sugar Company
has declared quarterly dividend Of
one and three-fourths per cent, but
then it is not expected that Cuban sug-
ar companies can be as prosperous as
the average Hawaiian Sugar Company,
many of which pay from eighteen TO
twenty-four per cent annually.

CITY MONEY GOING.

Between four and Eve thousand dol
lars win be available tomorrow for
wages for the city's municipal street
labOrers. After the supervisors have o.
KID, the bills and Hizzoner has attach
ed his official signature, the warrants
will be handed over to the workers and
they will, have little to go toward
Christmas good cheer, after the poi bills
are paid up.
The men ON the city's salary rolls
had their pay December 10, the total
being about $11, 900. Mayor Fern re-
ceived nothing and if he hasn't enough
spare cash in his pocket to tide him
over the Christmas holidays he may
have to borrow few dollars from the
supervisors, for the Mayor does not re-
ceive his salary until he works an en-
tire month. However, he will be flush
on December 30, and win have nice
little sum to start off the New Year.

EARLY 1919 CROP.

There is every prospect that the Ha-
waiian sugar crop will get to market
earlier than during the past year and
the sugar factors are looking ahead 10
an increased business and a prosperous
year, with prices ruling above the aver
age, though, probably, not going to the
temporary high mark of this past sea-
son. The first big cargo of the 1912
crop goes out from this port on Decem-
Der 20, next Wednesday. She is now
at Kahului and will return here in time
for the completion Of her cargo for Sa-
lima Cruz
On the same day the Mexican sails
for Salina Cruz the All. freighter Col
umbian is expected to arrive for a car
go of sugar for the early market,
as the price ruling at New York now
is 4S0 cents and is not expected to drop
very much Thus the earlier market is
expected to help out on the total re-
ceipts for the season. Meanwhile sugar
is piling up on the local wharves, hard
ly a steamer from the other islands but
is bringing in its share of the staple.
The mills are now for the most part
grinding and the weather, except for
the past few days, has been exceedingly
favorable for field work.
The last of the 1911 crop is expected
to reach the Atlantic Coast tomorrow
or next day by way of the Isthmus of
Tehuantepee, having left the Islands in
the All. s. s. Isthmian.

The city attorney gave an opinion
with reference to the query of the
board as to whether it could have
money advanced by the Rapid Transit
company to build storm sewer at
Alexander street, pending its own abil-
ity to pay the bill. His opinion was
that the city had no powers to borrow
money.
Charles Coster, garbage inspector,
asked for two additional wagons. He
will get them.
Honolulu Must Pay Bills
Letters received from the clerks of
the boards of supervisors of Hawaii,
Maui and Kauai, all showed that those
counties do not propose to pay the hos
pital bills of any INDECENT residents of
those islands who go to the Queen Is
Hospital, in Honolulu, for treatment,
unless they have certificates from the
boards named. In fact, the several
counties wanted to assure Honolulu
that they would not consider as resi-
dents of their islands, any one who
came to Honolulu and received treat
ment under municipal expense, anC
therefore would not pay the bills. Ha
wall said il would only pay bills wher
the sick persons so treated here had /,
certificate from his county.
The Maui board said il had two o.
three well equipped hospitals and coulS
treat their sick o. X. Maui peopl

FEARING MASSACRE,
PREACHER FLIES

Compelled to flee from Picking for
fear that the rumor of massacre would
be carried out, Doctor Cross, an as
sistant at Old South Church, of Boston,
is now in Hawaii and at the present
moment is at the brink of the crater Of
Kilauea, watching the play of the
molten lava, with Mrs. Cross.
Doctor Cross had just reached Picking
when the revolution broke out and a
week later, SO fast had the revolution
progressed, that he as wen as the
majority of foreigners began to keep
close to the legations, and finally when
the rumor of an intended massacre
reached them, it was decided that they
had best seek safety in Coast ports.
There very fearful scenes Of disorder
in Picking and the trains were loaded
with refugees, both of Chinese, Man.
chus and foreigners. Upon the train in
which the Cross left were many high
cast Manchu officials. They were ter.
ror stricken. On reaching the Coast
and after engaging rooms, they were
compelled to vacate them in order that
some of the imperial officials who had
fed from Picking with them, could
have accommodations. They finally
found quarters in less pretentiOu'
locality.
Doctor Cross states that the Old
South Church, the cradle of the rev
olution of '76, is still in Boston, al
though the church proper is new edi
fee. The Old South Church was the
scene of many anterevolutionary in
cidents and IN that building many OF
the speeches which directed the organ.
ization of the revolutionary movement
were made, among them speeches by
Warren, the martyr of Bunker Hill.
The Cross will leave for the main.
land in the near future.
