HON0auUOH IS
MARKET MYSTERY

Sudden break and rapid and con
tihaed decline III Honolulu Oil stock
was the most striking feature Of to-
days stock market. Beyond the fact
that the price ;of the stock had sud.
denly slumped In San Francisco there
was no satisfactory explanation OBJ
tainable. One broker had a cable say
ing that the market broke on selling
from the islands but beyond this brok-
ers asserted that they knew nothing
and large holders of the stock here
also said that they had no information
that would account for the sudden de-
cline. The recent rapid advance was
termed by some to have gone faster
and higher than iacts warranted
Oil continued the decline that was
in progress yesterday and on sales of
1915 shares went from $40 to $40
and then was quoted at s405G41O
but still later in the day lower figures
were given by some OF the brokers.
Little change was noted among list
ed stocks IN a fair volume OF BUSH
