FINANCE AND TRADE Ninety per cent of Hawaii's trade is controlled by America. The state convention of Minnesota Bankers was held at Duluth Thursday and Friday. The old Colby mine at Bessemer, Mich., has resumed operations with a force of 250 men. Tea importers are said to have lost heavily on the large importations made in anticipation of a tariff. According to conservative estimates the Kansas wheat crop this year is placed at 60,000,000 bushels. The comptroller of the currency has received a telegram announcing the failure of the Nebraska National bank of York, Neb. A St. Louis man has invented a formula for making imitation coffee, and negotiations are pending for establishing a factory. Only 30 Victoria sealing schooners will go to Behring sea this season, compared with 64 of last year. Low prices obtained for last year's catch is the cause. Fitchburg railroad accounts are being examined by experts. There is a suspicion that large "rebates to shippers" have gone into the pockets of certain officers. Missouri's fruit crop is estimated to be worth $20,000,000 - considerably more than the wheat crops of both Missouri and Illinois. Negotiations for the purchase of La Esperanza gold mining property at Toluca, Mex., by a California syndicate have been closed. The consideration was $6,000,000. The rate war between union and nonunion insurance companies promises a reduction in premium rates of 20 to 50 per cent in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Directors of the defunct Sioux City Savings bank have paid Receiver Goss $28,000, lost through the peculations of absconding Cashier Stone, rendered possible by the directors' carelessness. The richest placer mines ever discovered are reported from British Columbia, just south of the Alaska boundary. One ship brought to San Francisco over half a million in gold dust, washed out since last fall. It is believed that the National Credit Men's association will be disrupted because Eastern members of the organization are supporting the passage of the Torrey bankruptcy bill, which is opposed by Western members.
