The MARKETS
The Grain Market.

Il
United Press Leased Wire Service.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19. There was no
change in the European war news to
alarm the trade as to probability Of
its materially affecting the movement
of wheat between exporters and i'm
porters.
The northwestern receipts were
still heavily in excess Of what they
were last year and the tone Of the
cable news, apart from matters con-
nected with the existence Of war, was
in the main bearish. Previous to the
opening there was strong inclina-
ton to sell.
The opening was generally at from
"A to ss below yesterdays final fig
ures, but there were plenty of buying
orders and their effect was to ad-.
vance the market to near Fridays
closing figures.
There was disposition to sell corn
at the opening, the weather being SO
very favorable for the hardening Of
the new crop. The decline was ar
rested by the firmness that developed
in wheat after its first decline. Trade
was exceedingly light.
Trade in oats was small and unim-'
portant at the opening. Prices were
relatively the same to / 1-16 lower
than the previous closing.
There was no particular features to
the provision trade except what was
natural to the smallness OF the hog
receipts and the firmness reported
from the yards.
The Stock Market.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-ln its issue
of Monday. Financial America will
say:
With the beginning Of last week
the CONFUSION which had been eff
fective in forcing sharp declines in all
the European markets came to an
end. The disturbances on the CONT
nent disappeared at time when the
Balkan troubles became most acute and
selling of securities by European in
terests ceased, although it was In
sisted that the flood OF stocks thrown
on all the various markets was
brought out by fears that the great
powers would become involved be-
cause Of the hostilities on Turkeys
border-lands. This made it seem that
the liquidation, which had been In
progress for two weeks, was due
wholly to necessities created by the
settlements in berlin and Paris as
the selling commenced on October /,
the time of the Berlin settlement,
and ended or October 10, when the
Paris settlement occurred.
While this liquidation continued,
New York was made the market place
for large volume Of foreign holdings.
On four different days foreign sales
here amounted 90 over 100000 shares
a day. with almost as large selling on
the other eight days of that period of
depression. The transfer If securi-
ties in all reached to an aggregate of
over 100000 shares, and when this
selling was completed, prices of
American securities we're at higher
figures than they had been before the
started.

remains active and continually shows itself in
attempted Legislative attacks. There is no GER
tainty that these attacks will not be renewed in
the next Congress. Capital continues on the de-
fensive against the demands. for higher wages
by labor on the one hand, and against the de-
mands for restrictive legislation on the other by
the people at large. The certainty of renewed
tariff agitation next winter, regardless of which
party wins, unsettles many manufacturers and
merchants alike. The persistent high cost of liv-
ing is also factor which seriously complexities
the political situation and should not be over
looked"
After this somewhat disquieting information,
however, Clews ends with the statement that "it
is quite possible that the stock market will rise
to higher level, especially as some of the big
operators are largely interested on that side.
Good crops, better trade prospects and the early
adjournment of Congress are all favorable to an
upward movement, provided aggressive leader
ship is forthcoming Congress will probably
shortly adjourn, because it's members are weary
and have little desire to take positive action upon
any question of Importance until after the cleo
tons. All things considered the impediments
to increased activity are gradually disappear

HELPING THE DUKE FUND.

The papers in Honolulu are max
ing an effort to raise enough money
by popular subscription in order that
Duke 'Kahar1amoku may have some
lasting testimonial of the appreAa-
ton of his admirers here in Hawaii.
The inception Of the movement origi-
mated over in Hama and it is only fit
ting that Maui should keep up the
good work started.
The Maui News wishes to cooperate
in this movement, and we have start
ed a fund here. Subscriptions, large
or small, will be gladly received eth
er at this office or at the First Ma
tional Bank. The Fernandez Moving
Picture Company has started the
fund here with donation of $40, and
we hope to see the fund swelled by
others who admire clean sport and
who realize the great good Kahana-
moku has done the islands as a pro-
motion asset.
Kaai's orchestra proposes giving a
concert and dance Saturday evening,
August 18th, and the entire proceeds
will go to this fund. The concert will
be held in connection with the show
at the Orpheum, and the dance later
will be at the Town Hall. - Maui

TUBERCULOSIS
AMONG CATTLE

DR.. Victor S. Nogaard, Territorial
veterinarian, in his report for June to
president w. M. Giffard Of the board
OF agriculture and forestry, says OF
tuberculosis control WORK:
"a comparatively small number o.
cattle have been tested during the
month, the prolonged drought having
made it impossible to finish this i'm
portant undertaking. There still re
main about 1000 head of cattle, e
range stock, to be tested and with IN,
coming of the bean season, whic"
promises an unusually eavy crop, il
Is expected that the remaining herds
can be gathered and tested. In the
meantime all reacting animals have
been removed from the dairy herds
and the milk supply of the city can
safely be pronounced free from tuber
culosis Infection"
In his report for July DR.. Norgaard
says:
"As will be- seen from the appended
report of my assistant. several hund
red head ssSf Seattle have been tested
during the past month and all react
irg animals have been branded and re
moved from the herds where found. y

POOLING THE FARMER VOTE"

| The American voter has to stand for good
deal of claptrap, and buncombe in his politics,
and he is amazingly ready to swallow campaign
Iphie, but he is not likely to take seriously the
bill just agreed upon by the senate committee
our privileges and elections, forbidding corpora
tons to contribute anything of value to the cam
Ipaign for presidential electors congressman
and state legislators,
There is no question that such a law would
be of great good were it enforced. The people
are tired of corporations which insist upon their
right to buy elections as if it were the divine
fright of kings. But law such as this senate
committee proposes will not be enforced. 1t
will mask Hypocrisy and double-dealng It
will put premium upon corporate tools and
underground sWire-pulling. A glance at the
makeup of the senate committee ought to show
that its members are not sincere if they believe
their bill will be passed and enforced in let
ter and in spirit.
Congress has just been turning up some of
fthe campaign. history of 1904 and 1908. Judge
Parker and William Jennings Bryan did not
|scruple to take Tammanys tainted coin and the
source of Rooseyelt's huge fund of 1904 didn't
seem to worry that litter at corporate wind
mills. Charley Hilles will be passing around
the hat pretty soon for the Republican campaign
just as George Cortelyou and William Loeb, Jr.,
did in the past, and Loeb did it so successfully
that they made him collector of the port of New
York.
But it's good bill in campaign year. 1t is
designed to fool the farmer vote. The trouble
is that it doesn't fool the farmers very long.
The time is coming, and coming fast, when the
law,.if passed, will have to be enforced, or the
farmers and the rest of the people will do some
fitting themselves and it will not be at wind
mills.

CHAMBERS
HERE AGAIN

In his report for July to the Board
of Agriculture, DR.. Victor S. Norgaard,
Territorial veterinarian, says under
the subhead of CHAMBERS:
This disease has unfortunately
made it's appearance again, and under
most annoying circumstances. At the
request of the sheriff, horse which
had been found wandering in the
streets until placed in the Kalihi
pound was examined and was found
to be suffering from typical CHAMBERS.
Though the sheriff detailed two Of
flcers to try to locate the owner, they
did not succeed, and the horse was
shot. AS the animal was suffering
nose, it is to be feared that other ami
mails may have become infected. but
so long as the owner, who undoubted-
ly was aware of the animals condf
ton, could not be found, no further
measures could be taken to prevent
the spread of the disease"
New Disease Appears. ...:-
"A hitherto unknown disease has
made it's appearance in several local
stables, total of four cases having
come under observation, one of which
has died. The disease resembles te-
tanus or lockjaw to a certain extent,
and may possibly prove to be tox.
aemia, due to intestinal parasites.
Unfortunately no opportunity to make
a post norton examination has pre-
scented itself, the one fatal case not
being reported in time for this pur-
pose"

A GOOD START TOWARD SANITATION

Eternal vigilance is the price of cleanliness
as much as it is the price of liberty
An inspectionso of Honolulu's Oriental quarter
this morning by an informally constituted com
mittee of citizens proved that the board of health
in the past year has done some really creditable
work, but that thousand times more remains to
be done. The board has made good start in
getting cement floors and sanitary drains laid,
Ia cleaning up courtyards and back-alleys, and
IN ordering the installation of electric fans in
the den-like kitchens of Chinatown.
Where the law is rendered largely futile now
il ip the inability of the department to keep the
Oriental quarter clean even after explicit orders
have been issued The tour of inspection this
morning showed laxness in observing the sim.
plest sanitary precautions .that is absolutely in
comprehensible to Occidental minds. A week
after hallway, kitchen or a backyard has
been cleaned up, it is Uttered as foully and as
dangerously as before;s and tie present system
does not seem to have hit the carelessness, the
lazness and the indifference hard enough to
teach the lessen,sg -; 534gxas. fAE
President Pratt OF the 6oafrd Of health says
that it is preferable to urge the Orientals along
the sanitary path little by little, getting the
essary work done in a month or two, rather than
10 take the fight into the courts on decision that
might require six months of litigation. More
over the present policy of the board of health is
to wait until restaurant licenses come around for
renewal and then hold them up until improve
lnents are made. No licenses are revoked out
right, it appears.
Undoubtedly education, continual reiteration
Of orders and continual prodding -will get re-
Suits but it is question also if a few quick ar
rests few licenses revoked after q distinct
warming has been dismgarded, few lessons
driven home With rude. severity and without pa.
layer, would not get more wholesome results in
Ithe long run, So
1T is not more inspectors that are needed; il
IS inspection by men who will give orders and
see that they are obeyed. 1t is not more author
ity that is needed, hut more respect for the au,
thority already constituted.
Two or three "clean up or shut M" orders
backed by the law already given the board of
health might help. The community will back
up the board. Tt has done good work in certain
sections of Chinatown in the past year. :
The community expects good work and stiff
backbone from the men in whose hands the
health of its citizens is placed.

Campaign uncertainties are emphasized by
the latest trade. letter of Henry Clews Cop-

way Clews says:
sImmediate conditions are favorable to the
stock market The crops continue to make sat
isfaetory progress. The activity in iron is still
exceptional, and the general prospects for fall
and winter trade are highly encouraging. In
spite of these stimulating facts the stock market

height of the vacation season, partly because of

Senator Poindexter, of Washington, who held
up the Kau ditch bill for several weeks in order
to get protests from Hawaii as to the financial
terms of the bill, was surprised when not let
ter of protest reached him. PoindeXter vastly
oyerrates his own Importance and his reputa-
ton Probably not score of people in Hawaii
would know who he is if they heard his name,
and there was no protest here anyway on the
terms of the bill. Poindexter is one of the
younger growth of senator's, cast into office on a
wave of revolt against the 'stand-patters' of the
northwest. He is fearless and able, but so sus-
picious that he has depopulated Africa to fur
nish niggers for Congressional woodpies.

QUESTION OF LIQUOR
IN CLUBS UP TO LINDSAY

Whether the liquor license law OF
1907 repeats the former legislative act
Of 1905, and whether it directly af-
fects bona fide clubs, such as the Paci-
f1c, University, Commercial, Mochi-
zuki and Elks Clubs is question that
Attorney General Lindsay has not H.
vestigated and was not prepared to
answer today.
The regularity of the present situa,
ton is that the two statutes conflict,
and that the later act, which appar-
emily opposes the issuance of club
licenses as provided for in the earlier
law, does not directly call for the re-
peal of the earlier bit of legislation.
Ordinarily, at least in the states,
all act is Tot repealed unless a later
act specifically announces such repeal,
but whether this rule may be applied
il the present case the Attorney Gen
eral is not prepared to say.
