BUILDING OPERATIONS
ARE WELL IN EXCESS
- OF NORMAL FOR SEASON

Building operations are consider
ably in excess Of the normal for the
present season of the year. In them
is reflected the prosperity of general
business and the steady and ever in
creasing growth of the city. 1t is not
to be taken that there is a building
boom under way, quite the contrary;
the present condition is purely nat
ural
In the past seven days there have
been issued 80 building permits,
which show a contemplated expendi-
ture of $52,1S050. OF these the most
important are alterations of the
premises at King and Nuuanu streets
for the Chinese-American Bank, SILL
$50; the new Boys Club house, a
description of which has appeared in
the Star-Bulletin and which building
is to cost $5494.50; Moana Hotel ad-
dition, $4,000; NJ g. johnson, two
houses and other improvements il
Royal Grove, $4500; POLO association,
grand stand, $4,000; Charles Hustace,
residence, Beretania and Kapiolani
streets, $3.50, and residence of 7. T..
Char, $2733. "
Aside from building is the an
nouncement that concrete wharf is
to be built at Fort kamehameha and
bids to be let. The estimated cost of
this work is $4,000.

STOCKS ADVANCE
AND DIVIDENDS
enrich HOLDERS
OIaa and McBryde Lead in a
Week OF Exceptionally
Large Dealings

Important developments in the To-
cal financial world have followed one
another rapidly in the past seven
da.s.
First came olaa as a new entrant
into the dividend-paying class.
Next Haiku and Paia declared an
extra IS each in addition to, the reg
ular 81, making the payments on
each of those stocks IA per cent as
against IL per cent for the first half
of last year.
Then Hutchinson and Paauhau
each declared an extra of 20 cents
each. In the first half of 1915 Paau-
hau paid $1.05 as against " for the
first half OF this year. For the year
Hutchinson paid S.S Fer cent as
against s per cent for the present half
year.
Then came the declaration of Nc
Bryde of a regularly half yearly divi-
dend of per cent on preferred and
dividend of so cents on the COM
mon. marking no change in policy
or amount. This was disappoint-
ment to the speculatiyely inclined
who had expected a monthly dividend
plan announced that would make dis
bursements from $1.20. to $3.50 for the
year. But il must be remembered
that McBryde has paid its note for
the Sugar Factor stock it holds and
which It took at par and which is now
much more valuable, so that the as
sets are enhanced in value far more
than the $4,000 which appears on
its 1915 report and thereby its
strength is consequently enhanced.
And it may be that later in the year
McBryde will also join the monthly
payment class.
On Thursday, also, Hawaiian Sugar
declared an extra of $1.20. This
makes disbursements for the first
half year $3.50 as against 81 for the
first half and $3.50 for the whole of
last year. ..s i.
On FRIDAY Kahuku Plantation Co,
directors declared an extra dividend
of so cents payable June 80. This
will make the dividends for Kahuku
as against Sl.20 for the same period
of last year, that is 9 per cent this
year to July l as against s per cent
to July l.. 1915. -. -
With such developments and ru-
mors and reports that were persist
emit relative to Olaa and to McBryde
and other stocEs as well of good
things to come, it was not to be won
dered at that trading became heavy.
The lightest day was last Saturday
with less than $500 shares and the
heaviest was Thursday with $4,000
and upwards. For six days from Sat
urday to but not including today, sales
were in excess of Il, 900 shares. There
can hardly be found. a stock that has
declined for the week and nearly all
show advances from fractional up.
