HARDLY THE TIME
TO RESUME BUYING

James A. Pollock 6: Co, bankers and
brokers. furnish the following, received
over their private wire yesterday after
noon;
Paine, Webber & Co. Boston-The
market today lapsed into dullness again.
Yesterdays rally did not produce any
large amount OF buying and what there
was came largely from the operations OF
floor traders. The severe break OF the
past ten days has made the short side
Of the market very popular and It Is
hard to convince people that stocks have
any merit, With public speculation at
such low ebb and government investiga-
ton so active and money so tight, H. Is
reasonable TO expect a sagging market
with sharp breaks between now and the
first Of the year.
Logan & Bryan, New York-The pace
set in the afternoon trading yesterday
was apparently too rapid TO be sustained,
especially as the element committed to
the selling side today vigorously con-
tested pronounced rallying tendencies, go,
larity was witnessed with the weakness
in the petroleum issues contributing
greatly. On the whole, however, 1t
ress was not OF as urgent character
as that which took place during previous
sessions, and a factor worthy of favor
able comment was the pronounced In
crease IN the investment demand for odd
lots OF standard Issues.
The foreign situation continues such
as to make IT probable that any serl-

in progress in London Will be reflected

SCHOOLS REOPEN
!. AFTER VACATION

superintendent Pope has moved
his office to the corner of Alakea and
Merchant streets, and he is now bus
lily engaged trying to get all his docu-
ments and books in order.
All the schools of the Territory
opened for the winter term yesterday
and at the present moment over
twenty-five thousand scholars are
hard at work studying That number
only accounts for the public schools
of the Territory. There are also over
six thousand students attending the
private schools of the country.
In addition to the number men
toned, there are over five hundred
children of the newly arrived immi-
grants to be taken care of in the
schools of the Territory.
Applications are still coming in
from the mainland. for positions N
the teaching staff of the department.
Many of the people who want to come
to Hawaii are highly qualified men
and women.
The temporary school at Kaimuki
was opened yesterday, and although
it is only two-room affair it had a
large attendance of scholars when it
opened at eight o'clock.
Mrs. Minton, formerly of the Pohu-
kama school, is the principal of the
temporary school, and Miss Brooker,
of the Central Grammar School, is the
first assistant. The temporary school
is part of tn Kaahumanr school, of
which G. w. Baldwin is principal.

BURGLAR LEFT
BLOOD STAINS

The store of L. B. Kerr & Co., on
Alahea street, was broken into early
this morning and pair of shoes and
two suits of clothing were stolen.
Access was gained by breaking a
window in the rear of the premises
and on the property of Mrs. Allen.
Deputy Chief of Detectives Kellett
and another officer passed by the
store between the hours of one and
two a. m. and everything was as it
should be then. as far as they could
see.
Kellett investigated the premises
this morning and found spots of blood
on the floor, indicating that the burg
lar had cut himself on the broken
glass.
A piece of blood-stained paper was
also found with which the intruder
had evidently wiped his hands.
Mr. Allen employs private watch
man and though he was on duty all
night he can throw no light on the
matter.

MAKURA LEAVES
BUT LITTLE LATE

The Makura was only half an hour
late in leaving for Australia this aft
ernoon She was scheduled to leave
at one o'clock but got away at one
thirty.
Some Of the firemen went up town
when the Makura was last in port, and
the fumes from the saloons overcame
them. There was a lot of trouble, and
eventually the vessel got away several
hours late
Jack Weday observed with that
scholarly accent of his: Dat he was
ready for dem dis time. If dey dident
go on board quietly, den he would put
dem on" Jack was saved the trouble
The officials in question spent all their
money at Vancouver, and a payday
has not occurred since for them. In
the circumstances It was useless to
go up town. What could they see
if they had no money? was the plant
on board this morning. Therefore,
the kings mails went on without in
terruption.
The Makura has now got an installa-
ton of Marconi wireless, having dis
carded the United System at Vancou-
yer during her stay there. The Mara
ma got hers last time.

.FURLOUGH ENDS
FOR SOLDIERS

Today the furlough of the seventeen
soldiers who are acting as overseers
and inspectors for the mosquito cam.
paigners will expire. A cabled re.
quest from General Macomb to Gen.
eral Murray, that an extension OF
furlough be granted the men, may be
favorably considered. 1t was expect
ed that last night, or early this morn
ing, a cable would be received from
General Murray, deciding the matter
one way or another
The soldiers have been employed
for some months now, and the au-
thorities in charge of the campaign
think highly of the men. Should new
men have to be broken in, more or
less confusion will eventuate.
The marines who are on the job
are detailed for special duty and they
need no furlough.
Up to two o'clock this afternoon,
DR.. Mccoy had received no word
from General Murray regarding the
extension of the soldiers furlough.
1t is planned to engage civilians 10

Their furlough can not be obtained
