who Hie Inclined to Im pesslnilsi Ic as
to what llin new year will lirlim In
the flnunclal mid IndiiHltliil world,
Hhoiild, accordlni! to the Boston
Hint Int. olio of the leadliiK fliiaiiclal
liiihlicatlonit of tho eoiintry, wilh
hold their learn for about three,
months. Mnrch, tho paper nay, la
the test month of tho liintlncmi year
iid JmlHinelil an to what the litisl
nesa for tho year 1K08 is Kolnn to bo
ahould bn lUHpeuded until the ahow
Inn for March baa been made. The
Htatist aya:
"January and February are not es
pecially iKnlflrant monlha In the
business world. Tho old biialnesa
year ba been completed and tho new
ono not yot bemin. Thesn two months
are times, of comparative rest. AKrl
ciilturo la siiRpeniled, mluliiK la cur
tailed, railway traffic la smaller 111 ml
diirlnn several other months, bulld
Inx ojioratlona are larnely aiisiicnded,
and maiiufiicturera are not as busy
aa during tho HprhiK nnd Kail
mouths.
"llut when Murch comes trade and
transportation always beeoinn more
active. March Is nearly always the
first month showliiK a heavy move
ment i f luerchsiiillMi In both foreign
end dnineallc circles. My that tlmo,
merchants, manufacturers nnd trad
era are piepaiinK la earnest for the
year's business. Manufacturers are
busy on, their ordedrs for spring: and
summer uoods of all kinds; mer
chants are stockliiK up their shelves
and warehouses: and the railroads
are busy iiiovIiik Koods to market.
Hence March will be the test month.
If railroad tnnnniie Is theu 1 Ik lit It
will mean that llui aprluK trade la
KoInK to he small and poor.
"If bank exchiuiKes diirlhK March
Are way below normal It will mean
that an unusually small ninounl of
new business Is beliiK Initiated. If
Imports of raw or crudu material are
small. It will mean I list manufactur
ers are curliillliiK their output. The
business now belna done has little or
no bearlnK upon the future. Hut It
March la a poor month It will mean
that trade and business will be re
pressed at least till rlcptemher, when
H will be stimulated by Mood crops.
Mletl Tone In Huu.ni-.
While the tone of tho suna mar
ket Is very firm an I steady III I ho
east and prices have recently ad
vanced for both raw and refined,
tho Pacific must all nut tun Is far from
beliiK In a Komi position-. With three
refineries now blddliiK for the trade
of the Pacific slates as compared
with one a few years aito, prices can
not be made and unmade at the whim
of one parly. The fact that the Hon
olulu Plantation company has recent
ly toiiiplctcd one of the best Htiiinr
llefineries, puis that concern In the
frn-i- ri'.uk ai far as price, makluii la
'onc.'"'ced. A llllle more that) a year
auo the Plantation company made an
effort to aecure a fool hold on the
roast but without the proper repre
aentallon Its efforts were futile. Nitw
it's business on the coast Is bolus
looked after by one of the blKaest
brokeraae firms In the west and al
ready It is makliiK Itself felt In suaar
circles. While the suitor market nat
urally tends toward a blither ranuc
tit values owliiK to the sharp Improve
ment In eastern values, there's no tel
linn: what may develop In the Pacific
altuatlon overnlKht.

as wide a marati! between the prices
on Oreuon llurbaiiks and Selma'a
Hill-hanks as are shown In the re
porta of San Francisco markets
which are sent to the Portland dal-1
lies. Moreover, the prices which In-1
cal buyers ulve out as helna paid to!
uroncra are below the figures theyi

still In a rather misatlsfartory con-1

A dnlryman In tho Fast finds by I
comparison of market prices that the
food cost of producluK milk has In-'
creased 40 per rent In the New Fna-i

cost has Increased over 35 per cent. ;
As a result unite a number of dairy-;
