IN BUSINESS CIRCLES
Signs do not fall to accumulate In
suppoil itf tlu contention that Hono
lulu mil estate will lil'llio not far dls
taut future be tli object of special In
terest amoiiK tliu trades of the city.
There will of course be more or less
Speculation, but the movement will be
liaekecl up hy the steady growth Of
thottciwu, lilcremed demand for busi
ness propel ty and Increased deiiimul
lor homes.
.hut at present the trading soiled
uleil under 'the bead of Hpeculatlon
nnil Investment Is In what might be
termed a transition singe With plen
ty of money In the town there Is no
great demand for slocks, and the re
ports of the Exchange are far from
suggesting any speculative moemeut
In siig'ir shares.
Not only the stock market, but Un
born! market is dull. Yet the town Is
not lacking for funds to invest.
Ad for the Investments abroad, the
rush on that line of druinage appears
to bo over Tliu people who went into
tin' gel-rleh-nulck schemes are Le
nlnnlug to receive ends for assess
ments, ,-ind the propositions don't up
l'.enr half mi attractive as they did on
the promoter's paper.
There is no lack of confidence In
Ciigur and sugar stocks, but the gen
eral opinion seems to be that with the
exception of the cheaper shares, the
cpeculatlio factor has been eliminat
ed I roin the stock market l'rlces on
the old lines shares hae reached a
good llguro which Is accepted us bc-l
lug about as high as they ought to go,'
on the prtscnt outlook for the raw
sugar market. The expectation Isj
that the price during the coining sea
ron will bo qultu or nearly as goodjis
last year, but no better. I
Consequently tlte uctlvo buyers ohd
tellers, the traders who make' the
market, and tho speculators If you
will, are Bort of swinging in the but
nnco before turning to 'something
new And Honolulu real estate Lids
fair to he the next business feature to
attract 'the money and the confidence
of the public It must be udmltetd
huwoM-r that many, many people still
have memories, and even property in
their hands that they mortgaged at
hnlf the Value In the days of the boom
and had to bnv In fur the price of the
mortgage. They think it will huppen
again. They can't believe that tho
Federal establishment and the thou
sands of men coming hero and to
iiiiuu In connection with the Federal
works, to say nothing of the tourlst.1,
constitute uuy more permanent basis
of growth than the plantation booms
of l!iO(i Ttiey are of course mistak
en, and being pretty clear headed men
on all other nmtetrs they will snpn
mm! their error in extreme conservat
ism In this
Ilea 11 Hoard.
In this connection the temporary
organization of the proposed Realty
Hoard In getting together a great deal
of material and doing n lot of discus
sing, In order to get their scheme'
whipped Into shape and put the realty
trading of the town on u llrm basis.
One meeting has been held and tho
constitution and by-laws of severil
mainland organizations studied with
a view to their adaptation to condi
tions In this city ami tho Islands. This
study takes u great amount of time,
and If the lleullv Hoard is to start
right, there will be a still greater
amount of study, of a wider range of
cities This preliminary deliberation
Is by mi means time wasted.

Sugar frier.
The price of sugar bos dropped
slightly but Is still very close to I'M)
a ton. One of the very happy Inci
dents In connection with the fierce
battle with the elements experienced
by the ship Win. 1. Frye from Kahu
lilt to Philadelphia was the fact that
the cargo urrived in time to tnko u
top-notch price. The late cargoes and
the lute crops are securing the best
returns of the season.
Quotations for beets are gradually
dropping as the new crop approaches
thv time for harvest, and the beets
and centrifugals ure now nearer n
parity than at any time for the past
1 year.
