MAY ADD SUGAR
CANE TO RUBBER

At a meeting Of the directors of the
Pacific Development Company held
yesterday afternoon in the office OF
Fred l.. Waldron, great satisfaction
was expressed over the progress that
has been made on the plantation at
Kaulealeau, Hawaii. The matter of
growing cane commercially was dis
cussed and it is probable that this
step will be taken, part of the planta
ton acreage being given up to this
experiment.
The company has already planted
fifty acres to ava, while experiments
have been made in the growing OF
sugar cane, which returned a yield OF
from sixty to seventy tons of cane to
the acre.
The rubber plantation is progress
ing WELL according to the report OF
Manager l.. F. Turner, and prospects,
for success are good Two hundred
and thirty acres have been planted to
rubber trees, there being about 24,OOC
of them, a large proportion being be
tween three and four years old. Man
ager Turner stated that tapping over
from fifty to 100 acres would proba
bly, be started before the end of the
year. The rainfall, he said, was near
ly 200 inches last year
The annual meeting of the compa
ny was held last Saturday, the fol
lowing officers being elected: Fred l.
Waldron, president; r. ]. Pratt, vice
president; w. T. Schmidt treasurer

1000 OLAA SALES
CAUSE OF A ROW

The sale of approximately one
thousand shares of Olaa stock yester-
day afternoon and this morning pre-
cipitated a very merry little row that
may nave the result of changing one
of the Stock and Bond rules to which
many of the brokers object and which,
they say, enables transactions to be
put through that are not on the
square.
There is a rule of the Exchange
that provides that, if any one member
objects, stock transactions shall not
be reported, A good many of the
members of the Exchange hold that
this rule is vicious in that it enables
any broker to cover up the actual
market value of a stock until he shall
have bought or sold at a lower or
higher price on any transaction he
has under way. In this way the client
whom he is representing loses,
though the broker gains
What the reason was this morning
for trying to keep secret as important
sale as that of a thousand shares of
Olaa nobody seems to know exactly.
But what happened was that John
Fleming, representing J. F. Morgan &
Co., entered an objection to the trans.
fers being reported. According to the
rule, he could make his objection
stick, and he did so, but not without
vigorous and fiery protest on the part
of several of the brokers who hold
that every stock transfer ought to be
reported.
AS a matter of fact, the objection
is really ineffective, as this story
shows. For the news of the sales
was bound to leak out, the brokers
realizing that any newspaper man tC
whom they told the story would not
divulge their names.
The stock mentioned sold at 6, the
prevailing price. MIR. Fleming sold {
considerable amount of it himself. i
is stated that Armitage & Co. bough
most of what was offered
Some of the brokers are talking .
making another attempt to have tn
rules amended, to the effect that al
stock transfers shall be reported Of
the stock sheet. If this is done, tn
sheet win present very different al
/ pearance from what it does now.

MARKET IS ONLY
FAIRLY BRISK

Aside from the sale of about one
thousand shares of Oaa stock, at 6
mentioned in another story on this
page, trading on the Exchange and
along the street was only fairly brisk
this morning, no phenomenal sales
being made and prices as a rule re-
naming about where they were when
the Exchange closed yesterday.
Brewery stock advanced a fraction,
twenty-five shares sold at 22.75, after
which the price went to %, at which
quotation a block of 100 shares chang
ed hands.
Hawaiian Commercial remains firm
at AZ, the quotation of yesterday. Four
sales are reported, aggregating 100
shares.
There was very little doing in Oahu
today, though that stock has led for
several days previous Only one sale
was recorded, that of a block of Is
shares at 35.
Waialua remains at 129, but of that
stock, also, but one sale, that of Is
shares, was reported.
A block of 80 and one of 25 shares
of Hilo Common sold at $50. Fifty
shares Of McBryde brought price OF
IA.
The sale of 55 shares Of Olaa at
was reported, but this does not take
account of the real activity in this
stock, for, as related elsewhere, about
1000 shares sold we're not reported.
Pioneer remains firm at yesterday s
price of $50. Four sales of ten shares
each are reported at this quotation.

LATE SHIPPING
Manchuria Transferred stOwaway.

Manchuria Transferred StoWaWay.
The P. NJ. S. S. Manchuria arrived
this morning from San Francisco, aft
er an extremely pleasant trip all the
way The ships officers, as usual,
helped considerably in entertaining
the passengers by promoting deck
sports, etc, last nights dance being a
particularly enjoyable one.
The Manchuria was a little later
than she expected this morning, owing
to the trouble experienced in trans
ferring a stowaway to the P. NJ. S. S.
Mongolia, which left here on Sunday
morning for San Francisco. The stow
away was discovered shortly after the
vessel was clear of the Golden Gate
and, as a deterrent, it was resolved
to effect the transfer at sea, SO that
the stowaway's purpose would not be
accomplished. He was safely put on
board the Mongolia, and both vessels
proceeded on their ways.
There was quite a little romance
connected with the Manchuria, for
she brought back local lady who has
been estranged from her husband, but
reconciliation was effected by wire
less before the lady had reached San
Francisco. Immediately on landing in
San Francisco, she shipped back to
Honolulu to join her husband again,
She was disappointed on arrival this
morning, and the passengers felt sor.
ny to see her in tears on the wharf
disappointed because there was no one
I to greet her on her Homecoming.
The Manchuria brought 1O2 cabin
passengers, seventeen in the second
class and two in the steerage. The
cabin passengers were practically all
( tourists for Hawaii. In the cabin go
ing through are seVenty-five, thirteen
in the second-class and 100 in the
steerage. That there were Chinese in
the steerage was shown by the big
/ flag of the Chinese republic that few
over the rail near the stern of the
Manchuria.
There were 394 tons of cargo for
here, all of general character. For
the Orient there are 600 tons, a large
: portion of which is raw cotton, with
fairly large amount of government
stores for Manila. The Manchuria
calls at Manila on this trip, and in
cludes Shanghai in her itinerary
Usually, when the vessels of this line
go to Manila, they shoot across from
Nagasak to Manila, leaving out Shang
hal and Hongkong, but the Manchuria
is the carnival boat, and will call al
Shanghai for tourists for the carnival

CHARGES
IN THE FAR EAST

Consul General George E. Anderson,
Hongkong, writes Shippers of goods
from the United States to Hongkong
and most Eastern ports should note
that prepayment of freight or express
charges ito Hongkong' does not carry
the goods farther than on board ship
in Hongkong Harbor.
Rules regarding freights in this part
of the world provide that prepayment
carries them to the port of destination
for delivery at ships tackle for un-
loading either to lighter or to wharf.
The consignee must pay for landing
and delivery, which for ordinary
freight averages IA cents local cur
Irency, or about cents gold, per ton
for stevedoring, a similar amount for
Ilighterage, and about 10 cents gold for
coolie hire-about % cents gold per
ton for actual landing expenses. I'm
less the consignee is prepared to take
delivery of the goods himself broker
age must also be paid; for small con
signments this reaches 81 local cur
Irency, or AZ cents gold per package,
but is much less for large shipments.
Express packages prepaid Ito Hong
kong" means that the cost of remoy-
ing them from the ship and the hand
/ ling charge by the local express com
pany must be paid by the recipient
and American shippers cannot count
upon delivery here in the same way
express delivery is made in the United
States. When American goods are to
be actually delivered to the cunsignee
here it should be stipulated at the ex-
press office in the United States that
they are to be delivered to the ad-
dressee in Hongkong free of all
charges, duty, or other expenses" and
the waybill so Endorsed. The landing
charges here would then be charged
! against the account of the American
forwarding agents by the Hongkone
delivery agents. The ordinary fee of

and delivering small packages shipped
to or through them by forwarding
agents in the United States is 81 loca

age, a charge increased by coolie hire
where necessary, On packages fol

BANANA PLANTING
IN HONDURAS

Consul Allen Gard, at Ceiba, Hon
duras, in a recent report, mentions an
interesting experiment in banana rails
ing; also gives satisfies of shipments
from that consulate and its agencies
to the United States. The following
extracts are taken from his report:
An interesting experiment is being
undertaken on a large plantation at
Danto, neir Ceiba. This estate is
made up of banana plantations that
were practically exhausted with
"sour" soil. Flowing and cuItivating
have resulted in producing a banana
plantation that is regarded as model
in many respects, and has given an
indication of the value of dry farm
ing" methods here. Another feature
of this experiment is the planting of
rubber trees at the side of each group
of banana plants. These trees serve
to shade the young banana trees, and
it is hoped that they will reach pro-
ducing stage by the time the bananas
have ceased to bear their full yield.
Oranges rot on the trees here owing
to the limited market
The value of the exports from this
consulate and it's agencies to the
United States during 1909 and 1910
are given in the following table:
