GRAIN.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Wheat suffered to-
day a material setback in price, largely
as result OF depression of stocks and
cotton. Prices closed nervous at 20
3Hc net lower. with March s1.62k q
1924 and May $1.5s@1.5SA. Corn
gained A@1%c.; oats finished I'M
changed to 3Sc higher, and provisions
unchanged to an advance Of 3oc.
Bearish sentiment regarding wheat
became especially pronounced in the late
dealings although. even at the outset Il
was apparent that buyers were uneasy
over the downward swing of stocks. At
first, however, there was no evidence of
urgent selling of wheat and the market
turned up temporarily. owing more OF
less TO strength OF corn. Then the In
fluence OF weakness in stocks and In
cotton proved more of weight than
could be withstood and the wheat market
underwent a quick tumble. A timely
snowfall which will help protect winter
wheat counted somewhat as a factor in
weakening values. 1t was said that on
the decline 100000 bushels of wheat
were taken for Europe.
Assertions that export business I'm corn
was in progress had much to do with the
strength of that cereal. Export bids
we're said to be on full working basis
by way of the Gulf of Mexico.
Oats hardened with corn.
Higher quotations on hogs had n ten
dency to lift provisions.

GUGGENHEIM DENIES
CHARGES BY EILERS
Shelters Holdings Of Presi.
dent Are Said to Total
100000.

The charge made by Kari Eilers In his
action for q writ of inandamus giving
him access to the stock books OF the
American Smelling and Refining Cor
poration that Simon Guggenhein, presi-
dent, and his brothers, who are In the
manag ement of the company, have but
small stock holdings was vigorously de-
MED yesterday In a statement issued by
the company.
Mr.. Eilers. through his attorney. w.
u. Goodbody declared that the present
action results from his desire to pro-
tect his own holdings as we'll as those
of other stockholders
THE attack of Mr.. Eilers." said the
statement given out by the corporation,
lis the attack of discharged employee.
As to the charge OF Mr.. Eilers that
President Simon Guggenheirn and his
brothers have only inconsequential hold
ings of American Smelling and Refin-
ing stocks President Guggenheiins pres
ent investment in the company repre-
sents par value of $3,000.0o and his
brothers have substantial holdings"
On the stock books Of the Amer.cao
SINE ting and Refining Company. It was
learned the president Is listed as holding
only a small amount of stock, while his
brothers are down for but small per-
d CtHAdSc Oh lnS CdRAldit1a-
ton. It vas pointed out. however. that
no true estimate OF their holdings can
be obtained from these lists.
In his statement through his attorney.
Mr.. Ellers said: THE Characterization
OF the mandamus proceedings of Mr..
Filers as an attack by q discharged EN-
ployee IS far from the fact. Mr. Eilers
is. and was during his utilization with
the American Smelling and Refining
Company, entirely independent OF his
salary from that company. and his
present action is the result of his desire
to protect his investment as a large
stakeholder OF the American Smelling
and Refining Company and the holdings
Of all stockholders. and particularly )f
the many friends OF the Eilers family
who invested because Mr.. Eilers and his
family were Identified with the manage
ment.
"He found that II was not possible 20
do SO as a member of the board of
directors and deliberately put himself
into position where Simon Guggenheim
was forced not TO permit him TO be re-
elected at the last annual meeting. Mr..
Eilers feels that he can lay the matters
before the stockholders more effectively
from the outside than he could from tho
inside"

COTTON.

The feature of yesterdays cotton mar
ket was a decline of nearly II cent a
pound in the last hour OF trading on
sudden Wall street liquidation promoted
by the severe break In stocks. The drop
carried many options into new low
ground for the downward movement and
year, March touching 14.46 ana May
1880. Although prices rallied somewhat
in the last few minutes of business, wnen
local shorts took profits. the final tone
was unsettled. the market finishing ID
70 2s points net lower. Yesterdays &C
tiyity was confined to the closing hour
Of the session. Prices were not much
changed at any other time in fact, they
ruled at small advance during much OF
the day. Business was again evening UP
by professionals, few new commitments
of any size being made The market
paid little attention TO customary fac
tors. Liverpool cables were about as
due and outside trade conditions no
better.

MORE INDEPENDENTS
REDUCE RAIL PRICES

More Independent producers of steel
products are cutting prices on steel rails
to s47 ton, the figure quoted by the
United States Steel Corporation. The
Cambria Steel Company. subsidiary
of the Mdvale Steel and Ordnance Com
pany' met the Steel Corporations figure
three days ago, but not until yesterday
did the fact become public. The Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation was reported
yesterday to have lowered to the same
level the prices Il is asking for steel
rails, but no official confirmation OF the
report could be obtained. The Lacka-
wanna Steel Company was the first in
dependent to make known slash IN
rail prices
Inc action OF the independents is con-
sidered significant In view OF opinions
expressed from time to time in steel
circles that the Steel Corporation would
be compelled 20 increase rail prices to
operate AT profit The Independents,
IL IL understood, have stood pat for the
last Few weeks, waiting TO see IL the
Steel Corporation would Increase quo
tatons, and their decision Is taken as
an Indication that the bigger company
has finally determined to make no in
crease.

EXCHANGE AIMS AT
BEAR RAIDS IN PROBE
Data on Houston Oil Trades
Demanded-ReplOgle Steel
Inquiry Likely Too.

Action OF the New York Stock Elk
change yesterday In asking its members
to report all transactions that they
conducted in Houston Oil stock from
December "a to December 20 was con-
s.dered in the financial district to be
another step in the direction of lessen
ing the activities of big operators who
have been forcing prices down. 1t has
been known for some time that the Ex-
change has been much opposed to TIE
efforts OF some of these plungers.
While no official OF the Exchange
would talk yesterday. or even admit tho,
make a report of their Houston Oil deal
ings. 1t was learned that such an order
had been sent out to the various mem
Der houses by Secretary e. v. d. Cox.
The tumultuous career OF Houston o.
on the Exchange for the last week has
been a feature of the market. IN the
latter days of last week sudden attacks
on the stock broke it sharply from q
high point Of "a TO u low Of 65. Suisse
quently II recovered ~ points ano
closed the week at GIN for net droT
OF Is points. On Monday the raidlne
was resumed and on trapsacc'ons OF
4,200 shares break Of more than II
points occurred in the stock.
That the Stock Exchange will call fol-
similar information regarding recent
transactions in Replogle Steel was ex.
pressed yesterday as the result of the
violent break of that issue. Coming or
the heels of the Houston episode the
drop bore what was believed to be the
earmarks of bear raid.
Opening at 60, at which il closed or
Monday. Replogle was quiet and mac
tive throughout the morning. Just after
the lunch hour, however, there was g
sudden burst of activity in the Issue
and breaking sometimes more than
points between sales, it sold down tc
AN. a net loss OF PIN points. AT this
point there was a let up in pressure
and the stock Jumped back several
points, only TO come down again tc
around so. where II remained for the
rest OF the session. The closing figure
was SLY, off 1917 points from Mondays
final figure.

The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-10-22
HISTORY OF MAUrS FAIRS

Maui County Fair as an Island insti-
tuition may be said to have been con-
ceived in February, 1916, when a spe-
cial meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce directorate was called for
March 4, to consider a suggestion of
the extension division of the Hawaii
Experiment Station. The suggestion
was for the holding of a county fair
and before the issue of the call Maui
News, speaking of the proposal, gave
Moore and said the director would
probably be Fred A.. Cloves of La
h~ainaluna who was director of the
first Hawaii County Fair.
No claim is put forward by Maui of
having first suggested county fairs in
the Territory, it cheerfully admits the
Big Island set the ball arolling, but
Maui does claim the credit of being
the first county to make a couny fair
a permanent institution, to form a
srong permanent organization, to e.
rect substantial, permanent buildings
and to get on a firm financial founda-
ton.
