Honolulu. —Reports of the destruc
tion of the- Inter-Island Kteunier Maul
with the loss of many lives was said

ral hours failed to discover any wreck

was on fire. A few minutes later the
ship was seen to blow up and immed
iately sink.

Is that a boiler explosion caused the
disaster.
Tugus and Japanese sampans are
searching the sea for any survivors
Were able to keep afloat.
The loss of all on board the steam
er is Indicated as it is believed the
ship sank so quickly that there was
no time to launch small boats.
The Maul was a steel schooner of
631 towns owned by the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation t'oinpany. The
Maui left here at 5 o'clock last night

NEW YORK COTTON
New York.—Cotton seemed more or
less unsettled at the opening today.
Cables were slightly loewr than due on
old crop months and an Impression ap
peared to ja-evail around the ring that
the local old crop short Interest had
been sufficiently reduced to case the
technical position. Beyond further real
izing by old longs or recent buyers there
did not seem to he any great amount of
cotton for Rale, however and after open
ing steady at unchanged prices to a de
cline of four points the market showed
a fairly steady undertone.
Offerings were well taken at the early
decline and the market was firmer
shortly after midday on renewed cover
ing with prices about unchanged to five
points net higher.
New crop osltlons seemed to be at
tracting Increased attention during the
early afternoon owing to continued re
ports of delayed farm work and the
market sold übout one to eght points
net higher.
Cotton futures closed steady.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago.— Complaints that Western
Kansas needed moist uve gave wheat an
upturn. Opened 1-8 down to a like
amount up. then gradually advanced.
Many corn dealers leaned ot the belief
that the dge was off the demand for the
present at least. Spirted unchanged to
1-8 lower, reacted a little, then sagged
all around.
Oats seemed disposed to hold about
steady.
Weakness at the yards carried provis
ions lower. First sales ranged tVom 5
cents off to an advance of 2 1-2 but later
there was a general decline.
Severe cold northwest tended to avert
any Important wheat setback. Close
steady same as last night ot 1-4 higher.
Shorts covering led to a transient corn
rally. Closed weak at l-4a3- Bto 5-4

NEW YORK JSTOCK MARKET
New York—Slow downward movement
was removed today. Steel was scaled
down because of definite reports of de
clining business and threat of lower
prices. The railroad list again reflect
ed the Influence of dwindling earnings.
Lehigh Valley’s February net revenue
decreased 2582,000.
Uncertainty over the speculative out
look made the list drag, although after
noon there was a suspension of earlier
professional selling. Railway steel spring
sagged 2 1-2 on the announcement that
no dividend would he paid at this time.
Operations on the short side were
light and declines were small during the
fr/renoon but bulls feared to lake the ini
tiative because of the market's inability
to absorb the stocks which a rise would
bring out. Outside Interest in the mar
ket was virtually dead, the moderate
price changes being due almost entirely
to professional operations.
Bonds steady.
Closed firm. Prices retraced their
course slowly In the final hour, full re
eoverles occurring In Hteel. Union Pact
flc and Reading. Room shorts were chief
buyers.
