should cover all fixed expense in con
nection with the division at Honolulu.
1.-The revolving fund is not now
available for the purposes for which il
is most needed, that rs, paying consign'
ors when their goods are sold To reliable
parties on credit. The small producer
generally needs his returns promptly,
and often falls into the hands of the
Spectator who buys his goods for cash
~ much less than the market price.
If some arrangement could be made
whereby the revolving fund could be
! placed to the credit of ,.e division, in
local bank so that payments could be
! made in full as soon as the produce
is sold, or certainly not later than the
fifteenth of the following month, il
