This paragraph from one of the sugar journals of the country epito mizes a situation that tha people or Honolulu hae .just begun to 'real ize with the advanco In the prlco of raw sugar during the past week. They are In the midst of the fulnll ment of a prediction that hag been mado for weeks past Irl these col umns, nnd at last have begun to buy their own securities. Home Investments. Another pertinent paragraph ap pearing In a local print was that In which the stockholders of somo rub ber proiosltion that has taken a lot o'f money from local Investors were congratulated 'on the report of their stock being quoted at $425 a share. People bought that stock somo years ago at $400 a share. One In stance is known of a man who sold his Oahu stock at 17.60 to put In the rubber proposition. Ewa was selling at that time at about 20, and Walalua somen hero about 60. Now Oahu Is selling at 39.75, Ewa at 35, Wnlalua at 135. And the stockhold ers who put their money In a far- off rubber proposition are being con? gratulated on the alleged fact that their Btock has advanced twenty-flve dollars n share during the period that local sugar securities have not only doubled In value, but are pay ing ten and twonty per cent. In terest. Here Is an examplo of the wisdom of staying by the local securities of Hawaii. It Is an argument for tho cheap stock, so called, that Is today one hundred per cent, better than anything brought from abroad and decorated with tho tinsel of pretty stories. It demonstrates' absolutely tho theory that home Investment Is the best. Surer Advance. Sugar has been making romarka ble advances this week, but.no more remarkable than has been freely pre dicted by those following tho statis tics that have forecast the Inevitable result. Speculation has no doubt figured In the European prices for beets to qulto an extent, but the "bull market" has been supported by a statistical condition, a short ago of supply and iv steady Increase j of consumption from which only one result can come. The surprise Is not that tho advance In price has come, but rather that tho people ot Honolulu' who ought to know the sugar market havo been so slow to believe It and act accordingly. Stocks Reinond. Although tha advance In the prlco of sugar following tho passing of the height ot the grinding season bo gun last week, It was not until tne middle of this week that the effect was forcefully manifest In the stock market. Indeed, beet sugars had passed a 'parity of five cents and woro well on the way to a parity of fivo and a quarter before Honolulu buyers wont Into tho market und wero ready to bid for stocks at a figure that would bring the shares out. Finally, however, the Inevitable movemont camo, und somo rather sensational jumps wero recorded. Watalua began to advance shortly nfter tlio.meeting of the stockhold ersv at which Manager Tenney ot Castle & Cooke made' a verbal state ment ot Walalua's financial condi tion at tha present time, which puts tho plantation ,ln a moro favorable light than the printed report deal ing with conditions at the end of December. Some claim (bat this plantation might pay an extra divi dend either this month or ncVt. The stock that, was banging around 125.50 and 127.50 has Anally gone up to 135, and bids fair to go to 140 soon and likely 150 during the Bummer, when tho regulars and ex tras will amount to one per cent, a month, with still a good surplus left for taking up bonds. This forecast is not official. Agents of Walalua mako no official forecasts. Hawaiian Commercial has led tho van, however, by all odds. After hanging around 38.50 nnd 39 for weeks and selling In littlo lots of Ave, ten and twenty shares, this stock took a suddon spurt on Tueu- day aftornoon and began selling at 40j moving steadily to 40.25, 40.50, 40.75. Finally, by Friday afternoon over four thousand shares had been bought up (njthe local, market at prices ranging front1 40 'Mo 4 1.50. These constitute iilte the largest transaction of continuous bulng that has been recorded In the local market for many, months. The stock has come from San Francisco principally, all the local people be ing enthusiastic holders or deter mined buyers'. Ewa has participated In the up ward movement, advancing a dollar a share to 35.25. Oahu also came in on the rise, the last sale being at 39.125, with .39.60 asked. - This stock will go 'to' 40. 1'loncer has sold nt 235, but tho shares are com ing out only lu driblets. The whole list strengthened. Ho nokaa has been selling at 23.125, and Is strong at that figure. Hutchin son has advanced to 18, and 18.75 is recorded as' Bid.' Paauhau Is strong nt 30. Hawaiian Agricultur al has sold at 250.' Olaa and McDryde came Into tha excitement late In the week nnd at the snmo old figures. Otaa Is strong at C.875, and Mcllf)de, after Bag ging down to 7, braced to a sale at 7.125., Ninety-dollar sugar can not fall to put the plantitlons rep resented by these stocks In splendid condition, and the public will soou be bidding for them stronger unless the market Is to .witness one ot those situations peculiar tp Honolulu's pe culiar conditions ot stocks drop ping In the face, of an advancing price of raw sugar., stocKs otner man sugar havo fig ured v8ry little In the transactions, of the week, Brewery has sold at 19 and Mutual Telephone at 10. HIlo Hallway common has sold at 13 und Knpld Transit common at 101. Growing Conditions. Cano harvesting Is proceeding throughout tho Islands under the most favorable conditions. The warm weather of the past few weeks has brought up the sucrose In tho cano, In Instances where It was fall ing off from lost year'., Copious rains tho first of the winder filled the res ervoirs, bo that there aro no serious water problems for the growing cane, and labor conditions were never more satisfactory than at the present time. Immigrants. .! , Speaking ot 'lsUbr,' of course, brings up the' last 16.'ot Russian Im migrants, who have,, .raised., such a rumpus as to' cast serious doubt on the advisability oft continuing this Immigration. As a mattsr of1 fact, the last Arrivals "got off on the wrong foot" when they left the steamer. They were,' stirred up by some error In handling their bag gago.when they arrived. .Then diph theria broke out among the children. This necessitated sending them to quarantine, and the old people could not understand that. While they wero' on Quarantine' Island tho agi tators started their campaign, with the result that when the quarantine period had expired the Russians de clared they would not.'' go to tho plantations; they would rather siarve. They can not get work In town, so they have camped out on the Channel wharf. . As they bid Walr to become a charge, on the pub lic, they were notlOed that .they1 must either go to work' or, be re turned to Harbin. Meanwhile, more diphtheria developed, and the end Is not yet. Friday afternoon about eleven people out ot the three hun dred had decided to go to the plan tations and had accepted the com forts of tho planters' Immigration quarters. Reports from the plantations are generally favorable as to the ability of these people to work when they want to. It the Russians continue trouble some, It will mean n return to the Portuguese Immigration. Inciden tally, the last lot nt Portuguese have been so gonornlly satisfactory that nothing has been heard from them. They have settled down ,to planta tion life, contented and happy, and willing workarg as a rule. Heal Estate Active. Real estate Is steadily taking Its proper placo in tho business part ot tho town, and on every hand are Increasing evldonces ot tho brilliant future of the city. Within the last mouth three sales of property for greeting winter homcti have boen mado to people who came here as tourists and, liking the place, have decided to make their winter and possibly their 'pormsnont homes here. Thero Is steadily-Increasing In quiry for residence property coming from presont residents, as well ns the tourists. Sales of business 'property during, tho week have Included tho twonty-thousand-dollar purchuse ot Dicker ton property mado by I,. L. MtCand less.

The large purchases, of city real estate made by this estate nro significant. Pineanple Failures. Visitors to the clneapple fields ot Wahlawa and particularly the lands of the II Estate, recently plarited In pines, have noticed that actd after acre of pineapple plants with a deep yellow tinge, pines on many, acres of, the Increased pineapple lands In that vicinity bid fair to be a com plete failure, Tho jcllow-leavcd plno does riot,, produce a good marketable apple.' A good share ot these lands were leased by Japanese Some have had to give urj pines entirely, and they have turned tbelr fields over to cotton culture, with better pros pects of success. The yellow pine Is laid to result from a largo amount of rnangancsc In tho soil. Thus one possible problem ot over production of pineapples In the Is lands Is solving Itself, Organic Act. A special cable to tho Bulle tin from Its Washington corre spondent gave the people ot Hawaii their first and only 'Information of the passage by tho Senate of tho bill to amend tho Organic Act ot the Territory. The Senate struck out the provision allowing the Ter ritorial government to advance money to homesteaders, also he plan for tho guarantee 'of railway bonds.
