bond exchange.
Twenty-seven hundred and sixty
three shares of stock changed hands

made remarkable advances.
Oahu and Hawaiian Commercial
were most in demand and the trading
in these stocks was decidedly brisk.
Oahu started at 35, but this price was
evidently little previous and the quo
tation dropped to 34.5O. at which price
much trading was done. One hundred
shares sold at 35, and at "a no less
than. $50 shares changed hands in
blocks of from five to 100 shares.

Brokers are astonished at the ac-
tivity displayed last week. They were
expecting the market to pick up, but
not much before the end of next
month. Holiday week is nearly al
ways dull, but all precedents have
been defied the past week, the market
being more active than for months
previously All indications are that
this month will be a busy one, and
most of the brokers are looking for
stocks to continue their rather sen
sational upward climb
Today being a holiday, there will
be no session of the Exchange.

PROSPERITY Of PAST YEAR
PROMISES TO CONTINUE IN 1912

The year 1911 was one of the best,
from a business standpoint, in the his
tory Of Honolulu, according to state
ments made by every business man Of
the city who was questioned on the
subject Saturday. During the first six
months of the year, on account of vari-
Gus circumstances, business was rather
dull, but the last half of the year
more than made up for this.
There has been no great furry, no
boom, no extraordinary sudden in
crease in trading. But there has been
a steady run of business that has made
the years end figures of the various
business houses of Honolulu very sat
isfactory.
The sugar crop was extraordinarily
good while, because OF the fact that
other sugar-producing countries were
not so fortunate, the price of sugar
went to a high point and remained
high. AS nearly every line of bust
or indirectly with the sugar industry,
the general effect has been a good one
and Hawaii today is more prosperous
than for many years. There is more
money in the Territory than at any
previous period in the history of Ha-
wall, and it is being generously spent.
&c ,p cror
eral prosperity is the great increase
in the number of automobiles in Ho-
nolulu. Every freight steamer that ar
rives from the mainland brings from
six to twenty machines, and the mum
beTs to be seen on the automobiles
along the streets are fast approaching
the 1000" No matter how cOnven-
lent automobiles may be for business
purposes, they are nevertheless a lux
ury, and the fact that there are so
many of them in a town the size of
Honolulu would demonstrate to even
the casual stranger that this is a rich
and prosperous community, while the
fact that the number is increasing so
rapidly means that times are good and
there is much money in the country
for Injuries as well as for necessities.
Real estate values have gone up eX-
traordinarily during the past year and
in some parts of the city they have
doubled, trebled and quadrupled. All
the real estate firms have done good
business during the year and every
real estate man processes himself as
entirely satisfied with what has been
accomplished and extremely confident
as to the future.
The retail merchants have had an
extraordinarily good year and state
that they are convinced that the year
1912 will be better than any year here
tofore.
Speaking on the subject of retail
business, M. Brasch, manager of Whit
ney & Marsh, says:
"The year 1911 has beer an excel
lent year for the retail merchants,
The first six months was rather slow
and there was not great deal of bust
ness done, but about the middle of the
year business picked up and has been
very steady ever since. During the
month of December we did a bigger
business than during any previous
month of any year.
The tourists are not coming in very
fast yet, but it is the home business
that counts, and there is a lot of tha;.

CHICAGO, December Robustness
apprenticeship system whereby the
student of business methods might
serve part of his course i'm actual
work in a big business house-was
suggested today by Willard r. Hotch-
kiss, dean of the school of commerce
of Northwestern university, at the
regular Wednesday luncheon of the
way and means committee of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce at the
Hotel La Sale.
The business apprentice would get
an accurate, first hand idea of the
work expected of him in the world,
said Dean Hotchkiss Il am sure we
could find cooperation in some large
business houses. Let the senior stu
dent, say, pass half the last year of
his course in the counting room. and
half in the school room.
Although one of your members has
declared himself otherwise, l think we
are coming to realize the necessity
of university training for business. A
system of vocational training is ne
cessary, think Not the sort of voca-
tional system in use in Germany, by
any means, however. This country
was made by men who changed their
plans. We could not use the German
method of laying out a boys life plan

Though Alaskans have long been

from $50 to over 500 miles. Experi-
