SUGAR STOCK
PRICES WEAK

Sugar stocks TOOK a slight drop TO-
day. The political situation, the gene
raj summer dull season and the low
price of sugar are responsible for the
fall, according to the brokers. Cubas
crop is showing up SO large as to de.
press the price of raw sugar. and thus
decrease Hawaiian dividends, and this
has an important effect on local buy.

The sales in the session of the ex-
change, and those recorded as having

amount tc anything, depite the fact
that they represented two days trans
actions, the exchange not having met

to $3.50, but the sales, as recorded

last figure of $3.50.

The brokers are more than ever re-
signed to the prospect of dull sum

resent routine transactions rather
than investments. Many think that
the low price of sugar is result of
manipulation rather than of norman
operation of the law of supply anO
demand, and that the price will go up
again in the near future, but that
doesn't encourage investors in the face
of the fact that the price is low now
and seems to have a downward tend

ton, as well as the Cuban situation

WORST POLITICAL AGITATION
OVER, SAYS BANKER CLEWS, AND
GOOD TIMES ARE IN PROSPECT

may be expected, but there has been
a decided moderation in the feverish
unrest of labor, which promises to aid
business recovery. AS a result both
labor and capital will certainly find
more ready employment.
On the Stock Exchange these condi.
tons have been reflected by a more
buoyant undertone. The market has
not been active, outside of few spe-
cialties, but there is an unmistakable
disposition towards wider operations.
A satisfactory feature is the better
| tone of the bond market Investors
are still discriminating in favor of the
| higher intereqt bearing issues, but
there has also been a somewhat better
inquiry for low rate issues by savings
banks, trustees, etc, who are taking
advantage of the attractive offerings
which are being made,*
The banking situation as a whole
is exceptionally SOUND. No little in
terest is aroused over the inquisitorial
policy of the Government in the money
trust investigation, and it is quite like
1 ly and proper that bank officers will
| do all in their power to legitimately
guard the interests of their clients as
confidential. There are some things
regarding high finance and banking
operations upon which the light may
be advsntageously turned, but any
wholesale prying into the confidential
relations of the banks will be strongly
discouraged by sound public opinion,
howsoever desirable it may be as a
source of political capital during the
campaign Fortunately investigation
of the most delicate issues has been
deferred until after the election.
A week hence the Republican con-
vention will open at Chicago and its
effect upon the Stock Exchange will
be watched with interest. There is a
strong desire in Washington for an
early adjournment of Congress, at
which business would feel much re-
lieved. Certainly adjournment ian

in June, and is almost certain to hap
pen in July.

Henry Clews' banking circular un-
der date of June gives some inter-
esting comments on the financial sit
uation as affected by politics. In the
following extracts is shown a most
cheerful view Of the prospects,
Financial conditions are positively
changing for the better. A more con-
fident undertone prevails both here
and at the interior. This new wave
of cheerfulness blows in from the
West where unrest for a long time
has been deep seated. The basis for
this change in tone is three-foId.
First, our industrial and financial
leaders seem to have decided by
common consent to cut loose from
politics. It is felt that agitation has
brought the worst to the surface, and
that an estimate can be placed upon
the worst that is likely to happen. 1t
is felt also that the high tide Of
radicalism has been reached and that
henceforth more rational and nor
NAL Judgment is likely to prevail.
There is also less uncertainty as to
what candidates will be selected as
standard bearers for either party, al
though nothing definite has yet been
made public regarding platforms. Of
course, the political barometer may
fluctuate violently during the next
few months, but in spite of such un-
certainties the worst to be expected
is already known, and the feeling is
abroad that no extreme policies are
likely to be adopted during the next
administration.
A second and more practical rea-
son for business betterment is con-
tinued improvement in the crop out
look
The third important element in the
situation is the better labor outlook
In some cases wages have been ad
vanced where such advances appeared
justified. In other instances the de-
mands of labor have been withdrawn
or modified where it has been found
that such requests were ill-advised and
injurious. In other cases trouble has
been averted by compromise. Here
and there a few occasional strikes

MAKES DARING TRIP
w. P. Edwards Of Reclamation
Service Has Thrilling Adventure.
Government Enabled TO Build Huge
Tunnel Five Miles Long from Gun

Remarkable Feat.

Denver, Colo.-One of the most dar-
Ing feats that has been accredited to
the men OF the reclamation service in
their battles of converting the deserts
of the west into productive farms was
the original trip through the swift wa
ters of the Gunnison canyon.
In the years previous to the time
when the reclamation service went in
to Colorado and determined upon the
diversion of the waters OF the Gunni.
son river. that the arid lands OF the
Uncompahgre project might be re-
claimed, man had never passed alive
through the Gunnison canyon. There
were many tales of adventurous In
dians and white men who had attempt
ed the dangers of this canyon, but
none OF them had succeeded and lived
to tell the tale.
w. p. Edwards was the first man
to accomplish this feat. lie did it on
a rubber mattress, inflated with air.
Boarding his raft at the headwaters
OF the Gunnison, he started on the
wild ride through its canyon with the

portunity to divert its waters and get
them upon the desert.
This raft OF air and rubber was be-
lieved to be immune to the shocks that
1t would meet In plunging headlong
down the currents of this stream. To
large extent, 1t proved worthy OF
the confidence that was placed in 1t.
To be sure, it lost upon occasion much
OF the form which it had in the be-
ginning. 1t was punctured and mend
ed and reinflated on many occasions
At times it became merely a fiabby
bag that was thrown over the shoulder
of the voyager as he waded down
stream over the rapids. At other times
it became merely life-preserver that
kept him afloat in deep eddies.
At still other times the raft and its
operator clung to the sides OF rocks
