RUSSIAN BOND
NOTBEAFRAID
(By TICK R. TAPE)
Considerable consternation was felt
yesterday in local financial circles
following the publication of the news
of the deposition of Premier Keren
sky of Russia, and local holders of
the Russian bonds, of which three mil
lion rubles' worth have been sold here,
were particularly anxious regarding
their investments.
That the New York bankers were
'in the know" Wednesday regarding
thp dpnnsitinn of Kerensky is shown
j by the fact that heavy liquidation of
' Russian bonds took place and the
i price dropped from 140 to 125. Part of
i- this drop was of course influenced by
the general trend of the market, which
j has been exceedingly bearish - during
the past week. ; v
Local holders of Russian bonds", who
are not trading for--quick turnovers,
should be content to hold their securi
ties without the slighest apprehension
as to their future value, for it is the
general belief of financial . experts
that while the bonds may reach lower
levels than ever before should Rus
sia declare peace with Germany they
will eventually return to par when the
world-wide peace is declared.
While a peace between Russia and
Germany would today cause a crash
of tremendous proportions on the New
York market, a crash that would prob
ably be lasting for some time in near
ly all stocks and bonds, the Russian
bonds would be the only securities
with the exception of war brides to
rise from .the crash. For such a peace
would bring German gold into Russia
for her wheat and petroleum and
would tend to stabilize her trade bal
ance. Where in 1913 Russia's trade bal
ance was in her favor $75,000,000 to
day it is nil, and the balance is against
her .to the extent of $1,000,000,000.
That is to say, her imports are $1,001),
000,000 in excess of her exports. By
declaring peace with.. Germany she
could immediately commence exporta
tion and this would bring gold into
the country and restore her financial
stability which would result in "a bull
ish market for her bonds..
On the other hand, if Russia con
tinues in her present condition with
out an able recognized leader such as
Kerensky might have proved to be, the
bonds will drop to lower levels. But
even if they do the end of the world
war will bring them up again to high
levels because it is a well known fact
that war bonds always rise the mo
ment peace is declared. , So that in
any event local holders of Russian
bonds need have no fear for the safety
of their investments.. .

The treasurer stated that he has re

as to whether the Hana work would
be taken up should such a purchase
of bonds be made. Governor Pinkham

said, and the harbor board also voted
approval. The Kaeleku Sugar Com

LACK OF STEEL
HALTS BUILDING
AT FT. SHAFTER
Work on the new ordnance build
ings at Fort Shatter ."is, being delayed
for lack of structural steel, which; is
lying on the piers in San Francisco
awaiting cargo space to Honolulu. Of
the twelve ordnance buildings, nine
are now ready for the steel, trestles,
and not a bit of steel is on hand to
build them. '. . V . - ;V
Local contractors and architects are
much concerned over the structural
steel and other building materials
situation. ... Last - Friday - Ripley &
Davis, architects in the Boston build
ing, sent a cable to their jobbers in
San Francisco, asking if building ma
terial would be placed on the. freight
embargo list. Yesterday the answer
came, saying that while there would
doubtless ' be . delays the materials
would surely come. t .
' From the cable which was em
phatic," said Mr. Ripley, "I take it
that there is no occasion for undue
alarm. Of one thing I am assured
and that is that building materials are
hot going to be classed as luxuries,
and that such goods will be shipped
as room can be made for them along
with other life necessities. We are
going ahead with our plans for new
buildings just as we should do in nor
mal times, so far as shipments are
concerned."
As for lumber shipments, much of
that is looked after by the jumbal
dealers themselves, who own Schoon
ers that are used for no otlfer purpose
than carrying Iumb?r. If the lumber
can be got to the Yve3t Coast poris, t
local contractor believes it can be
brought to Honolulu.
The same contractor, however, ex
pects to see a considerable falling off
in the, erection of big buildings re
quiring steel and iron in their con
struction. This state of affairs is al
most inevitable, since not only is
cargo space lacking for the shipment
of such material, but the difficulty
that lies in the way of the purchase of
structural steel and iron for commer
cial purposes will not be overcome
until the end of the war.
LI. S. OPTIONS
WASHINGTON,' D. C, Oct. 28 Op
tions have been taken by the 1 food
administration upon all sugar
belonging to neutral countries held
in this country awaiting export. This
was disclosed tonight in a statement
by the administration denying pub
lished reports that it was trying to
force the neutrals, unable to get ex
port licenses, to sell their sugar at
a loss.
The options are at the prices paid
by the neutrals. No figures , were
given, but the administration said that
with the tariff duty added the aver
age price would be 50 cents a hun
dred higher than the price it has
undertaken to maintain for the bene
fit of the American consuming pub
lic. There is no indication of an in
tention to permit the cost to the pub
lic to be increased, so probably few
of the options will be exercised for
domestic uses.
The' administration emphatically
denied that it had placed any restrict
tion upon the sale of sugar by neutrals
to American manufacturers.
"There is no reason for undue hasf
in this matter," the administration's ,
statement adds inasmuch Tin rna
is really suffering from the temporary
sugar shortage. . Enforced conserva
tion is not an unmixed evil, it was
added, as it brings to the attention of
the American public, in a not harmful
way, the vital necessity of conserving
food products. America will have .but
one or two weeks of scarcity of sugar,
while Europe has had three years Ol
such shortage." ;
A family allowance of $40 a month
has been granted Mrs. Malamanul
Weatherwax and Edwin and Herbert
Weatherwax, sons, survivors of the
late Charles II. Weatherwax, by Judge
Ashford. i
