the navy was in dire need of Quinne which was obtainable in comparatively
small lots only at the $4anounce figure. A firm in Amsterdam quoted prices
on a ton of the drug, but due to high freight rates, this was lot deemed a goo
bargain, particularly in view of the fact that the domestic price was expected
to drop. In the meantime, Admiral Caperton, in command of the sailors IND
marines in Dominican waters, was appealing every few days by raho 1r
Qunine.
Caperton's demand was finally supplied. Nearly all drugs o n the market
have made astonishing rises in price. Bromides are almost unobtainabe' mt
permanganate Of potash, widely used a a disinfectant, Is also very scarce.
An altogether unusual feature of the scarcity of various materials through
the war, is the fact that since the allied blockade of Germany va mad eHe-

worsteds for the colorpercepdon test. one of the most important OF hVal
examinations. Where 200 sets of colors were needed, only 70 have been obtain
able since last fall.
The almost unparalleled demand for parchment certificates OF COMMISSION
to be given Nanny officers, has led to a parchment scarcity IN the war depart
ment, and this scarcity is chiefly due to the effect of the army Reorganization
act, which called for the promotion of hundreds Of officers tn appointment
to second heutenancies of no less that 1000 men.
The demand for commission certificates Is so great that the bureau u
engraving has served nbtce that tit will be unable to supply parchment tr all
these certificates and that it will be necessary to engraye parchment paper,
instead. This fact reduces the contemplated cost Of the bureaus material anu
work to 5000, instead Of the $4,000 originally estimated.

In recognition of the efficient and
valuable services which Ed Towse has
rendered the stock exchange and as
a memento for him of his long and
pleasant association with its mem
bers he was today presented with q
handsome gold cigarette case. The
presentation came as complete sur
prise to the recipient, for the mem
bers of the exchange had taken espe-
cial care that on this occasion at
least there. should be circulated no
reports nor street rImors. "
Following the session of the ex-
change board President 81 g. Duisen-
berg raped the members to order
again and In a few well-chosen words
delivered the presentation speech aud
handed Towse the case, which bore
the inscription, Presented to Ed
ToWse from the members and alter
mates of the Honolulu Stock and Bond
Exchange. In accepting the souvenir
Towse replied In his usugi happy vein.
The occasion for the presentation to
Towse of the gift from the stock
board was the fact that he is turning
over the duties which he has long per-
formed to ID. L. Conkling, who is to
become the salaried secretary OF the
exchange. In commenting on the
matter this morning one of the mem
bers of the exchange said that Towse
had done splendid work for the ex-
change, had sacrificed much time to.
it and had given it all the attention
which he could spare from his own
business, but that. the business of the.
exchange has so grown that the work
had become more and more arduous.
In the past secretary has been
chosen from the membership of the.
exchange and this work will also fall
upon conkling. ALI agreed that the
work Towse has done has been invalu-
able to the exchange.
