ARE you GUILTY OF THIS.

The following sidelight on the
mail order question contains more
truth than poetry:
A dry goods merchant was start
ing down town when his wife re-
minded him of his most important
duty during the day. Now, my
dear, be sure and don't forget to
send TO the city for that new Stan
hope, so we can have it by Sunday.
You know our old buggy is getting so
it's not fit to be seen.
Just few blocks away the mer-
chant who handles vehicles and i'm
with his family. The conversation
drifted around to the near approach
of school, "And that reminds me,
john" said the lady who sat at the
head of the table. Il must be going
to the city no later than next week.
| must get some goods for the child
ren's school clothes and then see
about a fall suit for myself, and
while I'm there perhaps I'd better
see about a new rug for the parlor
and some lace curtains for the
front windows"
An hour or two later the towns
leading grocer stepped into the bank
to buy draft, which he was going
to send to a catalog house for
swell" bedroom suite. "How is
business?" asked the banker. "Oh,
not so very good" replied the cof-
fee and sugar merchant resignedly.
Things are rather dull just now"
Before the banker finished writing
The draft a dapper young man with
a grip stepped in and asked how
everybody was. The banker seemed
glad to see him. He was the rep
of a big printing estab-
ishment in another state. He and
he banker chatted pleasantly for a
ew minutes, after which the young
nan inquired casually of his friend
behind the window if he wanted any
hing. 81 believe | do. Print us
900 checks, 5000 drafts and a cou-
lie thousand letter heads" The
-oung man thanked him cordially for
he order and hustled out.
That night the local business men
ad a meeting in the town hall to
iscuss the growth of the mail order
vii. All of the gentlemen men,
oned in the narrative delivered
hort talks. They all agreed that
ne farmers were guilty of treason
, their home merchants when they
ersisted i'm buying their goods of
Iail order houses, and the meeting
osed by adopting strong resolutions

WHAT A YEARS
COURT RECORDS
HAVE TO SHOW

M. T. SimontOn, clerk of Judge Rob
insons court, has compiled an inter
esting report of the years business.
This shows that seven children were
legally adopted during the year, and
one petition for adoption was refused.
There were only eleven writs of ha-
beas corpus issued, but judging by the
publicity that was given at least to
one of them, 1t seemed much higher
number. There were 21S divorces
granted. sixteen divorce petitions were
dismissed, nine were discontinued. and
two struck from the records. Three
separation orders were granted, and
one dismissed; while six marriages
were annulled, and one petition dis
missed.
AS was to be expected the Japanese
led in the number of divorces granted,
for there were no fewer than 200 of
this nationality who had their mari
tai bonds cut. Hawaiians were next
with 126, Americans followed, long

Domestic Beets-Are quoted on the

STOCK MARKET IN
A SLEEPY STATE

The Stock Exchange reopened for
, business this morning, but got off
rather sleepily. A few buying orders
were out, but they did not seem to
meet quotations in an effective way
On the other hand, there was little
disposition to sell, so that the ses-
sion amounted to little more than
routine business.
A sale between boards was of 20
, Olaa at 81 This morning, however
the stock was offered at that figure,
while bidding was at only S3S75.
On the board this morning 10
Brewery sold at $19, after which
S1s.75 was bid and SO rs asked.
Interesting quotations, without
sales were Eva, $27 so bid and
$2S.2 asked; Hawaiian Commercial,
$33 so bid; Honokaa, 10 bid and $li
asked; oahu, $25 % bid and SIS. so
asked; Pioneer, $l7S.5O bid; Waialua,
$S5 bid and 500 asked.
Pioneer this morning announced it's
first dividend under the new arrange
ment. of SIS a share The total
amount paid out is $41,25O. Paia and
Haiku also pay 81 share each today,
the totals being $22,5OO and $4,000
Respectively.
1t is worthy of note that In the
case of Eva there has been an ad-
vance since Saturday from $27 .25 bid
and $27.75 asked to $27 SO bid and
$2S.25 asked. Hawaiian Commercial
Is also up quarter. On the other
hand, Oahu remains the same, while
Pioneer sagged the dividend, or
from $175 to $173 so.

Market Review Of
The Federal Reporter

The Federal Reporter New York;
of December 20, contained the fol-
lowing in regard to raw sugars:
Raw Sugar-There has not been
quite as much snap to our market,
and yesterday Messrs. Arbuckle Bro
theirs bought $4,000 bags Cubas, for
first half January clearance, at 2 Is
32c. cost and freight for SO per cent
test, the equivalent of 3.S3c. duty
paid New York, a concession of 1-32c.
from last prices. They also bought
5000 bags Cuba Centrifugals, for De-
cember clearance at 2 5-S cost and
freight for SO per cent test, the equi-
valent of 3.9e 12c. duty paid. Messrs.
b. II. Howell, Son G Co. bought o.
600 bags Porto Rico Centrifugals, due
January I'd, at 4.00c. C. /. f. for 80
per cent test, and today the Revere
Refinery, of Boston is said to have
bought 10000 bags Cubas, for Janu-
any lOIu ClSdl duCSs dl 2 IL COSJ anu
freight. Today first half January
clearance is oDtainable at 2 15-32c
cost and freight and all January ship
ment at 2 5-16c. cost and freight,
although some sellers are still asking
2 IL cost and freight for the former
and 2 3-8 cost ana freight for the
latter position. Refiners, having
bought a fair amount of sugar for
January and February shipment, are
disposed for the present to hold off,
and it does not now look as though
there would be very much business
done until after the Christmas holt
days. The fact that there are but IS
Centrals grinding in Cuba, is encour-
aging to holders, as it indicates that
there will not be as much sugar avail
able for December shipment as we
had last year. While certainly sup
plies of cane sugar are limited (avail-
able between now and January 18TH,
at the same time there will be enough
to go round, which Is sufficient. At
the close we would call the spot mar
ket firm, but quiet, at 1898 IL to t.
O0c. duty paid for SO per cent Centri-
fugals, 9,4S 1-2 to 3.5Oc. duty paid for
SO per cent Muscovadoes, and 3 20
l-2 to 325c. duty paid for SO per cent
ATolasses sugars.
We have cable frUYi our agent in
Havana, stating that IS Centrals are
grinding. During the last few days
the weather has been showery, and
it appears that the cane has been
growing more or less throughout De-
cember, which accounts for the late
