The Joint committees of the Fair
Association and Commercial Club
held a meeting at the Commercial
Club Tuesday night, at which several
matters of unfinished business were
taken up and finally disposed of.
The most important feature of
the meeting was the selection of a
suitable free attraction. This mat
ter was settled when a contract was
closed with Roy Francis, the air
man, who made such thrilling exhibits
in this city last year, with his para
chute drop from q dizzy height
1t is said that he has added anum-
Der Of new and special features to
his performance, and that this year,
instead Of making drop from beneath
the acropane, the parachute will lie
attached to the back of the aerial
artist and hc will leap from the top
Of his machine.
The leap will bc made when The
ascent Las reached IOGO feet ard daily
exhibitions will hc given throughout
the entire period Of the fair.
All sorts Of fancy fights, spiral
dips, and speed tcsts viii hc made.
Mr.. Fran els is considered as one Of
the most sNillfl and daring airmcn
in the country, and it would lie diff
cult to select mere pleasing attrac-

MONEY DEMAND IN WEST
KEEPS RATES STRONG

CHtCAGO.-Thel nceSsant demand
for funds is keeping rates Of discount
Throughout the western money market
well up to per cent. In addition to
holiday requirements, grain dealers
have come into the market during the
past week with requests for accommo-
dation from the leading banks on a
broader basis than heretofore, and
while their demands are acceded to,
any loans of this character are only
made on four to six months period.
There are some signs of further
business recession, but it must be re-
membered. the season of stock taking
is close at hand and retail dealers are
reluctant to place orders until after
the first CT the year, and hence the
manufacturing end naturally feels the
conservative policy adhered to in this
respect Liquidation and curtailment
in all lines Of trade should cause
larger amount Of money to be placed
in banks, but the larger institutions
report deposits only Of fair proper
ton.
The first Of the new year brings
" I'LL II, interest anu NV IutIIN IeHuIl c
ments, so It is hardly probable that
any apparent easiness in rates will ho
forthcoming for few months at least.
The passing Of the currency bill will
have a beneficial effect on the gen
eral situations, if nothing more than
to enable the public TO know just
how aud what conditions have to be
met. The situation with the country
banks has made no material change,
their balances at the larger Centers
continue at the same level as in the
past several months. and requests for
loans from the ma ioritv of sections are
fully as urgent as heretofore.
Bankers at st, Louis report their
reserves gradually increasing under
the liquidation OF AGRICULTURAL loans
DEPOSITS are Of fairly good volume,
but in most instances lower than in
other years at this time. Business,
however, is generally Of a favorable
character. although weather conditions
are adverse to many lines Of trade.

CULTURE
PROVES BENEFIT
TO THE GERMANS

American potato growers will be in
terested in the fact that German farm
ers have found that many indirect
benefits result from potato culture,
through modern methods of crop ro-
tation, green manuring, and fertIlizing.
In a recently issued bulletin, entitled
Lessons for American Potato Grow
ers from German Experiences" the
departments specialist describes,
among other things, how eastern Ger
many benefits from the cultivation of
the potato
The potato has played the great
est role in the agricultural develop
ment of light and fertile soils of this
region. as the sugar beet has done in
heavier soils. According to German
specialists. these heed root crops are
beneficial to any soil, through the deep
and thorough culture that is given
them, with its resultant improvement
in the physical condition and aera-
ton.
' The profits from the crop justify the
liberal use CT commercial fertilizers,
from which there are important resi-
dual effects on other crops in the ro-
tation. The clean culture practiced
also brings all weeds into thorough
subsection. The yields per acre Of all
form crops have been greatly in,
creased since the extension Of potato
growing. f..
Potato tops are now dried and used
tor stock food on many estates. The
by.product, mash, resulting from the
6istiIlaticn of potatoes into alcohol,
is also an important economical factor.
While We have, in fact, better soils
than Europe in almost unlimited area
adapted for potatoes. cur hot summers
iniure the potato plant, where they
aid in the development of cur great
grain crop, corn. In the corn belt
there can never be profit in growing
potatoes in excess of those needed To-
cally for table use. Corn can be pro-
duced more economically, is better for
stock feeding. and IS a cheaper source
Of starch and alcohol. Farther north,
however. and in the elevated western
districts where corn can not be raised,
potato growing has a greater future. /
However. vast deposits Of petroleum
will also offer competition indirectly
to the potato, as at present there is
not the need in this country that there

not be far distant when the ,dfstilling

WASHINGTON, D. C. What
American manufacturers can accom-
plish in the field of export trade when
they seriously set themselves to the
task Is strikingly indicated in the
case of the Union of South Africa.
During the year 1912 the United States
outranked all other foreign countries
in the imports into the Union, and
was second only to Great Britain in
supplying people with their require
merts. For the first time in over
five years we exceeded Germany in
the trade and this was accomplished
in spite of the fact that there Is a
fortnightly service of German passen-
ger and freight steamers between
Hamburg and South African ports;
that there are large investments of
German capital in tho mines and 9TH
er industries of the country; and that
German manufacturers send out nu-
merous travellers every year in an at
tempt to secure a larger share of the
trade. The value of the imperts of
merchandise from the United States
into the provinces which make up
the Union of South Africa has risen
from $9,446,626 in 1907 to $15,735,321
in 1912, an increase of more than SIS
per cent. We supply more oil, agri-
cultural machinery, timber and lum-
Der, windmills and carriages and
carts than any other country includ-
ing the United Kingdom, and. with
the exception of lumber, more than
all other countries combined. Mining
machinery, motor cars, hardware,
boots and shoes, electrical machinery,
corrugated iron, furniture, tools, type
writer's, cash registers and miscella-
neous iron and steel products are
other articles which are sold extern
sively in the country. The success OF
the American automobile in South
Africa has been phenomenal. Accord
ing to our own statistics the exports
of automobiles to South Africa have
increased in value from SCI 1855 in the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1910, 10 ST.
1871 in the fiscal year 1913. Today
South Africa ranks fifth, following
Canada, England. Australia. and Ar
gentina, as a purchaser of American
motor cars.
The trade of the United States in
South Africa is undergoing a rapid
and substantial growth, and our sue
cess in this market is a strong refu
tation of the oft-repeated assertion
that German competition is driving
American manufacturers from the
field of foreign trade.
In a recent issue of the London
Daily Telegraph there was printed
cable dispatch from johannesburg re-
Specting the extended tour of Ralph
NJ. Odell, commercial agent of the bu
reau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, department of commerce, who
is making a study of the cotton mar
kets of the countries of the world. 1t

In Business Crcles-News and Review
STOCK MARKET BUSINESS IMPROVES
ANDFEW GAINS IN VALUES Shown

There was a sharp improvement in
the amount Of business done in stocks
this week and a few gains in stock
values were shown. The holiday
period being over, and business men
expressing their confidence in Homo
lulu and 1914, it is expected that the
stock and bond exchange will con-
tinue to show improvements.
The former two six-day periods on
the exchange were interrupted with
holidays so this is really the
first complete six-day period for
three weeks. Where in the last period
only $10,062.25 of business was done
on sales of stock amounting to 335
shares, for the period just closing
$24,275.12Ha was realized from stock
sales while the number of shares sold
was 1886.
Eleven shares were delt in during
the period, the heaviest trading being
in Hawaiian Commercial. In that
stock AIS shares changed hands, clos
ing Friday afternoon with a strong
market.
The first sale of it made in the
early part of the period was at 21.25,
but Friday when 40 shares were
bought in between boards it rose to
21.50.

Pines were also heavily dealt in.
They sold steadily throughout the
week at 81. One hundred and seventy
five shares were sold. bringing total
sum of $6475. In Oahu Railway and

at 14.8112;50 Oahu at 10.1215; 20 Eva

at 1.75; 20 Haw Ayr. at 126. and 25
Hilo Com. at 3. One deal in bonds was
reported: $4,000. r. & l.. IS SO.
There have been a good many
deals in real estate, mostly for resid-
ence sites, during the week. Real
estate. men are sanguine over the
start they have made in the year, and
look forward to its being a record
breaker, in their business. The fact
that such large number of lots have
been taken up by men of the middle
class with the intention of building
they point to as good sign. 1t puts
the stamp of permanency to the re-
sidenee here of that class. Where a
few months, or even weeks ago there
was a blue cloud" over the street,
it has now almost entirely dis
appeared. A much brighter one is
taking its place.
