HONOLULU OIL
BREAKS SHARPLY

Honolulu Consolidated Oil broke
sharply this morning on the local ex-
change dropping from high price of
$40 asked yesterday to 1915 bid this
morning, following the publication of
the news in the Star-Bulletin yester-
day that the Senate had agreed to
abandon efforts to make a bill leasing
oil lands in California, which are con-
sidered in the naval reserve area, and
to the condemnation OF existing
claims.
Holders Of the stock misconstruing
the word condemnation" FOR "confis-
cation" piled up selling orders on To-
cal brokers. BY condemning the
claims the government practically ad-
mits that the holders of the land are
entitled to patents, is the way the local
brokers' look at it. For If the govern
ment believed that the oil companies
in the naval reserve were not entitled
to the land the senate would have con.
fiscated the property without bother
ing TO condemn it.
Since they have condemned the land
it means that jury of disinterested
men will probably be selected to fix a
value on the condemned lands. As
the Honolulu Consolidated Oil lands in
the naval reserve area are valued at
$50, 000, 600, the least the government
can pay for these lands is $4,000, 600
to $15.O00,O 900. which would be equiva-
lent to about 81 a share. And even il
the company loses these 272O acres,
there will still be 1920 which do not
come under the condemnation ruling
on which the company can operate.
So that to all appearances the Homo
lulu Consolidated Oil will be in fair
shape even after they have lost the
2720 acres in the reserve. AS to the
100000 or more in escrow in New
York. the position the government will
take in this regard Is uncertain. but
undoubtedly some settlement will he
arrived at during the condemnation
proceedings. There were many offer
ings of the stock this morning hnt no
takers.

Tidal waves OF liquidation on the
New York. stock market have become
so common during the past three
months that the investors are Warily
expecting another at any time. but
the financial experts and many bro&'
ers of a level-headed kind are already
looking for an upward trend. Since
the last wave in early November the
market has dritted in a quiet eddy.
The decline carried stocks to record
low lev ell: 20 rails going to "a. which
is IS points lower than they stood at
the closing Of the exchange in 1914,
and ten points lower than their lowest
point in the 1907 panic. The 20 in
dustria dropped to IS only - points
above the 1914 closing prices. and
the 20 coppers went TO So. which is
points below the low price OF 1907.
The Pendulum.
The fact that the liquidation during
the past few months has been hyster.
ical is the very point which financial
experts emphasize in making a fore.
cast fer a bull movement soon. The
extreme optimism OF a few years ago
has chanoed into the worst kind OF
pessimism and when the pendulum
swings too far to one side it is bound
to come back, declare the close fol.
lowers of the market That it will be
long slow pull back to normal level
there is no doubt. The big volume
Of business due to the war will fore,
stall a continued depression. The
heavy drop is due to cause a slow
rise
And though the slow upward swing
is due and will come shortly 1t will
not be a solid swing, but will be
crossed and cut with short bull and
bearish flurrys. Reverses and small
victories On land and sea are expected
to cause these flurries but not to de
lay the swing.

The American Sugar Refining Co.
Statement November l6, 1917. In an
swer to numerous inquiries Mr. Joseph
E. Freeman, secretary of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Co. makes the
following statement in regard to the
supply of raw sugar for working its
Brooklyn and Jercey City refineries:
AS is well known, the Brooklyn re-
finery has been closed down during
the last five weeks for lack of raw
sugar to carry on its operations and
there is not now on hand, or in tran
sit, sufficient sugar to warrant oper-
ating the plant.
The company has been operating its
smaller plant at Jersey City at one
third to one-haH its normal capacity.
and at the present time it has at this
plant approximately HOO tons of Pc.
ruvian sugars, which are being made
into graduated, which sugars are to
be used for supplying mainly the
army and navy, Belgian relief and the
Red Cross
There has recently arrived at the
Brooklyn refinery cargo of $500 tons
Of Philippine sugars, which are being
lightered to the Jersey City plant OF
The company. In addition, there are
about 1900 tons of other raw sugars,
consisting of a small amount of Cuban
and Philippine sugars, which will ar

new YORK STOCK MARKET At BOTTOM:
EXPERTS BELIEVE TURN IS At HAND
Conditions Affecting American Market Today Same as Those
Which lowered Over English Exchange Summer OF 1915

as evidence that a rise in the New
York market is overdue. When the
war broke out in England in 1914, the
REIMBURSEMENT in the six months fol-
lowing was exceptionally severe. ri.
nancial markets suffered greatly and
security prices were only sustained by
the use OF minimum price restrictions.
Towards the middle of 1915, almost
nine months after the war opened,
many Of the minimum prices were re-.
moved. Then came the second war
loan in July Of that year and that, to-
gether with the apprehension OF the
then new war profits taxes caused an.
other sharp decline Nearly every
English stock touched a new low point
about that time. Since then nearly
all have worked upward in a long
steady pull which was broken at times
by reverses and victories for the Ems.
lish forces. resulting in bear and bull
flurriRs. But the trend has remained
upward throughout.
Experts Optimistic. -.
The financial experts claim thai
America is exactly in the same poo
second war loan has been floated now
and the excess profits tax is now
known. The stock market IL therefore
in a position to swing from the bot.
tom.
Another reason for expecting an ad.
vance in prices is the fact that Sc.
curity values today are almost unbe-
lievable. They cannot remain far be-
low their actual values for any great
length of time because the law OF
eGual and opposite reaction il exors
able. Investors therefore who take
advantage of the present opportunity
to secure reliable stocks cannot but
gain through their action. Besides
that they will be performing q pa.
triotic service in allaying the effects
of further LIQUIDATION r.
