NEW YORK EXPERT REVIEWS SITUATION
 IN FINANCIAL WORLD
eBarron Banancia1 News servdce.)

(Barror FinanciaI News Servdce.o l New York, Dec. 2AThere is a fairly
 strong belief in wall Street that the
 Stock Exchange will open for trading in stocks before long. This in fact was the intimation of one of the large
 banks in a circular to it's customers.
 Though the actual time of reopening cannot be stated it is believed possible that 1t will occur before the end of the year. The gratifying results obtain ed through the trial trading in bonds on the exchange are believed to have had their effect in this direction The price of electroIytic copper has been advanced to d3 cents, at which figure sales have been made. A good export demand continues, particularly from Great Britain and France. Re
 garding the shipment of copper to neutral ports, it is believed that steps have been taken which will serve to clear the situation up. Producers are quite confident that if the British government is assured that the ship
 tral country to which there are destin- ed, no difficulty wil be experienced in sending them through.
 The operating results of the New York sOntario & Western for the first four months of the current fiscal year
 
 of the road. There was falling on

First Transcontinental Road

The first ground was broken at Omaha for the Union Pacific railroad, the pioneer transcontinental line, fifty one years ago today. December ?, 1883
 The Atlantic and Pacific coasts had
 been connected by a telegraph line two years before, and a daily overland mail system had been established in
 1858 The tranecontinental railroad was chartered by an act of Congress in 1862, and work commenced in earn est in 1864. Despite the fact that the country was rent by civil strife. and rnuch political opposition, in addition to the natural engineering obstacles presented by the Rocky Mountains. the line was completed in 1869. A sec ond transcontinental system was char tered in 1864, under the name of the Northern Pacific, but the Union Pacific
 was in operation before work on the new line was actually commenced. Fiji nancial disaster overlook the company in 1873, and it was not until ten years later that the last golden spike was driven. Two other transcontinental systems were completed in 1883, and a little later the Canadian Pacific line ! was completed across the Dominion.

Birthday of LiliuokaIani,
 The Last Queen of Hawaii

2 . .l ll e. . sS This is the seventy-sixth plrInody
 anniversary of the last royal ruler of
 travail, the ex-Queen Lydia Kamlalkae-
 ha IilluokaIani She was born m
 TEnnolufug December ?, 1883, and was
 the eldest sister of King kalazaua, a native chief who was elected to the
 throne in 1874 This picturesque and
 extravagant monarch was not only
 ruler of Hawaii, but the very king oI s@spenders.s Soon after his eleVaLlon
 8o the throne he made a regal tour Hof America and Europe, and painted
 those continents red. In 1891 he was
 again seized with a desire to see the
 world, and set out for san z Fra1elsee' as.s5
 bug he was already far gone with
 Bright's disease, brought on by his
 wild mode Of life, and died in the Call
 fornia metropolis. His sister, whose
 husband. John O. Dominis, was a ns-
 tive of Boston, was immediately ele-
 vated to the throne. Her huspano
 did not live long to share in the re-
 fieeted glory of royalty, as he died
 within the year. Queen "IiI' sought
 to abolish the constitution of 1887. uIa- 2
 der which the members of both houses of Parliament were chosen by popular
 male sufrage. She abrogated the ex7
 istfng House of Mobiles, and tried to reign as an absolute monarch but lib-
 eraI sentiment was too strong for her. A committee of public safety was
 formed and the Queen was politely but firmly informed that her services were no longer needed. After an! insuTree- ton against the new republic had been promptly suppressed, the ex-Queen was arrested and forced to resign her roy al rights and take the oath of aIle- glance tc the republic. She was then released, although she had been sem tenced to a modified form Of impris- onment for five years. Early this year tsie former queen visited the pal l ace, her old home, for the first time since the overthrow of her government The ediffee where thes Queen once dwelt in royal state ss now the capi- tai of the territory. On that occa- sion she is said to have declared that Hawai- had become more prosperous under Uncle San's guidance than if had ever been before. The former Queen is descended in direct line from that Kamahamel1a T., the Great,
 who extended his authority over all the islands of the Sandwich group and
 founded the Hawaiian royal family.
