' We have decided to to take a step in a business way that means the ANNIHILATION OF PRICES,
it means the closing out of one of the oldest branches of our large mercantile business. It means
greater energy directed toward serving the men of Honolulu for we are
Retiring from the Dry Goods Business
and to quickly get rid of the stock to make room for Men's Clothing andtre-arrange the tailoring de
partment we are going to offer all of the lines heretofore carried for the ladies of Honolulu at
prices less than half formerly charged.
Closing Out Sale Is Now On
The enlarged department will be opened on a plan never before
attempted in this city. We have the store, the locality and the
knowledge of the wants of men in the clothjng; line. The new
fixtures will be of a character which for novelty and stupendous
ness has never been seen outside of New York City.

Firm and Buying
Expected
Stock-trading quieted down somo
what this forenoon under tholnllu
enco of nothing In particular. Hut
there wns still more activity than ott
ordinary days tho early part of tha
reason.
Olnn took n Jump this morning,
not particularly In sales, but tho
holders of this stock want six tlollais
a share. Doth Olan and Mcllrydo
among tho lew expensive, stocks nro
hold very firmly nnd general activity
may bo expected nt any tltno when
tho bti)lng starts up again.
Hawaiian Agricultural sold this
morning nt an ndvnnco of five dollars
n sharo over previous figures. Pio
neer Is strong nt I173M nnd Ewa Is
selling In good-sized blocks nt $29.
Oahu is stablo nt 132.00 and Wa la
fun can bo bought In smalt lots nt
U7.S0. Very little of this stock,
however, Is coming out.
Tho lull Is considered to bo only
temporary. The San Francisco mar
ket haB strengthened very much, nnd
although thcro nro no pressing buy
ing orders from that direction, It Is
clear that tho pcoplo on tho Coast
nro beginning to ta'ko notice. It Is
reported that tho recent buying ordor
for Mcllryde wns from the Coast.
During tho Inst week comparative
ly little stock has been purchased'
from tho Coast, nnd thcro will prob
ably bo less as tho season progresses.
Tho deal whoroby the Hnwall Irri
gation bonds wero taken up has al
lowed for the placing a good lot ot
money that needed bonds for Invest
ment. Mr. Pollltz Is being congrat
ulated on his good work In this flo
tation, alt, tho capital enlisted being
local.

ONJPIBITION
A dispatch from Omiha, Neb., ot
Feb. 18th, says:
' John O, Woollcy, head of tho Prohi
bition party for many years and noiu
Inco of that party for tho Prct-ldcncy
In 1900,i)ias deserted tho party and
will work from tho lines of (ho older
parties In future Mr. Woolloy Is vis
King his son In Omaha and today mat
ed that ho was no longer a member of
Iho Prohibition party, although ho wan
still n prohibitionist.
"I bollue tho party haB accomp
lished all tho good that It can," said
ho, "and from now on tho most effect
Ivo work cin bo carried onmtsldq of
Its lines. Tno party 'renchod Its pur
poso In bringing tho liquor question to
a national lssuo, sand Its iisefulnea
on tied' there. Having passed Its use
fulness, there Is no furthe'r necessity
for' It being kept rillvo. I shall con
tinue working for prohibition, but not
through tho party of that name"
This Is tho "unkfndest cut of nil,'
when he who has been placed In tho
highest plnnaclo by his rnrly turiiH
around and spurns Is as no longer of
iisq.- Wool ley Is, however, wlso to do
sort a sinking ship. Exrhango.
