Lumber GOES
UP IN Price
Mr.. lomey Says 1t Will Not
Affect Honolulu Building
Operations

raise in the price of lumber in
the Puget Sound district is announced
by the Coast papers. On July 20 a
new price list will become effective,
indicating an advance of 81 per thou
sand on uppers and so cents on COM
mon boards. 1t is stated that the new
lists show that values have stiffened
considerably during the past month,
although they are still far below the
quotations that have prevailed on fir
lumber during normal times
An analysis of prices according to
the new price and discount lists is
given by the Pacific Lumber Trade
Journal, which concludes as follows:
The average selling price on all
stock moved at some sixty mills in
August, 1910, was 1913. In August,
1911, this average had sagged to
$11.e5. On February 5, 1912, the av-
erage selling price was $10.93, and if
the mills do not sell for less than the
hgures represented on discount sheet
No. IA, the average selling price will
be about $11.68. -:
AN average selling price of. $11.6S
is not unparalleled prosperity-not
even unprecedented prosperity. The
average in 1907 was $1767 and that
represented the greatest prosperity of
any period in numbering in. FIR terri
tory. In 1903 the average. was $14.26;
in 1904 it was $11.76 and those famil-
lar with manufacturing and financial
conditions will recall with sickly
feeling just how much prosperity was
prevalent in the industry during 1903
and 1904. The average selling price
represented in discount sheet No. IA
is less than the average of 1903 and
only twelve cents higher than the aV-
erage in 1904. And in the meantime
everything that enters into the cost
of producing lumber has advanced"
Advance in Honolulu. :: T.
Owing both to the raise at points
of production and an increase in
freight rates to local dealers, there
has been an advance in lumber prices
in Honolulu. In reply to questions by.
Star reporter this morning,
Frederick J. Lowrey, president of
Levers & Cooke, Ltd, said:
"On the first of July we raised our
prices here somewhat. There was an
advance in prices by the lumbermen
and in freight rates besides. 1t is
question in my mind whether, in a
Presidential year, they can hold the
higher prices. However, We made a
slight raise On the first of July, on
account of the raise which had al
ready taken place over there and Of
the advance in freights. 80, r.
If they go higher we will have to
follow. The increase, on the Sound
is about ten per cent. Whether the
higher rate for freight keeps up re-
mains to be seen. - If both freight and
prices be maintained it will make a
considerable difference here. There
will not be any change made immedi-
ately.
81 do not think that the advance
will be enough to make any change
in building contracts People have a
habit of saying, when there is any
raise in the price of lumber, that
building operations will be checked.
This is a mistaken view. An adj
vance of a dollar a thousand only
means a difference of fifty dollars on,
say, a $4,000 or $4,000 residence"

BUSINESS is
LOOKING WELL

Dun's Review IN. W July 20: Pro-
gress is in the right direction. A note
worthy incident this week is the de-
cline in prices of all grains, especially
wheat, which was sharply depressed
by reports of exceptional crop ad-
vsncemert in the Northwest. Ten
days will place the spring wheat crop
beyond danger from drought. Distribu-
ton in that section is in excess of a
year ago, in important departments Of
trade from Is to 80 per cent. greater.
In the West, manufacturing plants are
busy and labor is we'll employed.
Higher wages, large pay rolls and
great activity in industrial lines mark
the progress of events in the Pitts
burg district and stimulate all branch
es of business in that section Labor
conditions as some New England
centers are still disturbing factor A
steady demand for cottons and WOOL
ems and enhanced cost Of raw m9ter-
ia4 make for a further hardening in
quotations. Scarcity of labor and in
terruptior through strikes restrict lit
tie additional business is noted in
footwear, but the trade is still delay
in. the placing of any considerable
volume of business. Leather is more
active, and some large purchases have
been made in the New England mar
kets. Hides are also in greater de-
mard and prices tend higher. Tr7ue
in the South and Southwest still
marks time Inactivity and slow COL
lections in that section are customary
a. this seasOn-the critical period for
the cotton croD-but the progress OF
the week has been quite satisfactory.
With industrial activity in the largest
trades assured, agricultural prospects
suspicious, and mercantile conditions
sound, there is less concern regarding
those economic and social problems
which have in the past served to I'M
settle business confidence and enter
prise A widening spirit of optimism
is growing in all sections Of the coun-
try, in spite of the fact that this is
presidential year. when ordinarily
some reduction in the volume of eX-
changes might be expected. B9nk
clearings this week make favorable
comparison, the gain over both preced-
ing years beirg 60 and 1913 per cent.
respectively. Foreign commerce for
the fiscal year established new high
record at $3,S57 100000 Exports and
imports were both in excess of previ-
Gus records, and the former surpassed
imports by nearby 1851, 100000. 80.

ON
Hawaii GROWS
MORE SERIOUS

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
HIL0, Aug. 5.-Unless there is rain
in some Of the cane growing districts
very shortly there is a likelihood of
many of the crops being seriously al
fected is the statement that comes
from the outside districts.
Along the Hamakua coast and at
Laupahoehoe there has been a great
scarcity of water and at the last nam.
ed place it was impossible to have q
bath, water being so scarce.
Many of the other districts are also
suffering and it is hoped that good
rains will come very shortly. There
have been scattered showers but the
season taking it right through has
been a very dry one. During the last
week or SO the heat has been terrific
and during last week in Hilo 1t has
been hotter than many of the old res
identS remember it.
There are a great number Of the
kamaainas who are predicting an
eruption Of Mokuaweoweo as they say
that the weather is just like 1t was
on previous occasions. when the big
mountain went of. -.
Besides being hot the weather has
been very oppressive, the clouds hang.
, ing low in the sky and looking just
as though they were bringing rain
but passing over without any falling.
. The wind has been coming out of
the south and 1t is hoped that a
change will come along before very
long.

SUGAR PRICES T..
~
COMING down

Willett & Gray's estimate of sugar
crops of the world, as of July %,
gives a grand total cane and beet
sugar 1881 .293 tons, against 1892.
1913 last year, a decrease Of LII 500
IONS. In their review of the raw
sugar market Willett & Gray evince
belief that the prices of that date
will not be maintained. They say
in part: .E.-,,... q
Centrifugals are unchanged from
last week at 4.Q5c per IT,, although
during the week they sold,,. off to
S.9S5c per ID. l,r.,.-. il
Beet sugar at Us. Cd. last week
moved from that quotation to LIS.
41ad., to Us. SID, to Us. SID, to
lis. at the close by the daily fluctua,
rions, the operations on the exchange
heing much less violent than previ-
ously noted and the close showing
signs Of an end to the manipulation
against the short interests. II so,
the present crop prices Of lbs. to 13s.
old. and the new crop prices for
October December of los. Sd. will soon
show signs of coming together The
present difference of two and a half
shillings &C. per fb.) is entirely too
great to be sustained for long, even
by strong manipulation.
The European beet crop. prospects
are not entirely as unfavorable as
purposes. Eastern Germany has no
doubt suffered from lack of rains, as
reported by F. o. LIGHTS cables to
US, but for Western Germany he re-
ports favorable weather. The east
ern section raises about one-third of
the German crop.
Further westward, in France, Hol-
land and Belgium, no complaints are
made, France expecting to produce
nearly double the. crop of last year,
which was very poor, while the other
countries named promise to be fully
up to last years crops, which were
fair to good last year. From austria
also the reports indicate quite salts
factory conditions, much improved
from last year.
There would seem to be no good
reason from the crop standpoint of a
long continuation of the present new
crop quotations, which are no doubt
alphabetically affected by the sugar
exchange tradings.
AFTER considerable buying here at
the 4.05c. basis sellers withdrew and
held firmly for 4.11c per Id. for their
moderate offerings, but at the close.
On finding that Europe hesitated in
it's advances, the offerings largely in
creased, and the outlook is now
against the realization of sellers pre-
tensions. At the close, owing to a
sharp drop in Europe to lis. SID. for
beet, buyers withdrew from market,
leaving unsold sugar at 4.05c.
Our refners are we'll supplied with
raws for their requirements for some
time to come, and need not follow the
sellers upward views unless they
think it advisable to do so.

AN ENEMY Or OUR GOVERNMENT

The turning Of the Republicans TO
Theodore Roosevelt raises an issue
far greater than the traditional dif-
ferences between RsDubliean ana
Democratic policies
True. We have TO decide between
the pampering Of special interests BY
tariff taxes and tariff reform We
must choose between extravagance
and economy in government We must
determine whether trusts and com
blnailons are to receive special faVors
Or cold justice. But more than all
thisl lhe American people must decide
Whether or 30 IT win stand by the
form OF government embodied IN the
constitution.
The Republic challenges the admir-
ers Of Theodore Roosevelt to point to
one achievement OF bis as president
that was accomplished by the exercise
Of authority delegated to the executive
under the constitution He did bril-
liant things like the bringing togeth-
| er Of the representatives of Russia and
Japan which lay wholly outside the
province Of his official duties. But the
outstanding things he achieved as
president we're done in disregard Of
law
