The decision in brief is that the

they are entering for. the first time or
whether they have acquired pre-

that they are excluded under the Inn

Jump Has a Wsolesome
Effect Here

Another leap In sugar quotations as

new vigor this morning to the stock
trading. The last quotation shows
that sugar is selling on the basis of
S.4S, with firm market. --.-* :
Messages received from New York
Tuesday gave the price of sugar for
that day as 3.31 This difference be-
tween this quotation and today's has
puzzled sugar men here to great ex.
tent, and several explanations are of
fered TO account for IT.
According to the theory held by
some, the sharp change in price can
be taken TO mean that the weak hold
ers OF Porto Ricos have sold out, and
the market is now in the hands OF
strong holders who are insisting on
better prices. Another theory to throw
light on the 3.S1 is that the Porto
Ricans are now giving away practi-
cally all the projections they now en-
JOY over Cubans under the present
duty. Alexander & Baldwin has made
Up figures to bear out this theory.
These figures, which are seif-explan.

Yesterdays quotation of 3.4S is the
figure which ruled for. January of last
year. Only short time ago sugar
was offered around $50. and the fact
that tho market is gaining at a time
when the product is rapidly entering
the market is taken as a very good
sign that it will continue to increase.

To REBUILD ON
Original SITE
After Almost Years Delay, the
Wheels Again Are About
. To Turn

The Pearl Harbor drydock is to be
rebuilt en- the original site, and ac-
,cording 10 the original cifications.
Word to this erect has been received
by the Hawaiian Dredging Company
in a brief cable from officers of the
concern now in Washington. Although
nothing is said of financial adjustment,
it may be inferred that the loss will
fall more heavily on the contractors
than would have been the case had
the specifications been changed, or
the site found impracticable for a
craving dock. ~.
Work of dredging section 5 of the
dock will be started as soon as pos
sible, probably next Monday, and after
almost a years delay the wheels win
again turn ON the big project. The
word to resume work was followed
within a few hours by another set
back and disaster for the Hawaiian
Dredging company, which has caused
at least a weeks delay in getting
down to work again. The dredger
George P. Denison, which was ordered
from Honolulu to Pearl Harbor yes
terday afternoon soon after receipt of
the Washington cable, turned turtle
off the entrance of Pearl Harbor chan
mel, and it will be necessary to put
another dredger, the B. F. Dillingham;,
into commission, before starting dry
dock construction.
The Pearl Harbor drydock blew
up on February II last, when the
walls and bottom failed to resist the
pressure of water from without, when
section 2 was being pumped out. The
entire structure of false crib work
rose in the air. like an enormous five
story building, smashing and crum-
pling as 1t lifted. and two years work
was ruined in two minutes. Since that
time there have been three separate
boards of investigation to consider the
causes of the disaster, and the most
practicable and economical scheme for
rebuilding After the disaster the
navy civil engineers in charge of the
work submitted a report, which rec
commended an alternate plan of laying
under water huge concrete blocks cast
on shore. Then Rear-admiral Stan
