First National Bank plans and Hawaii branch delay
An early foray into national banking is outlined by Col George Macfarlane and John Fowler as the First National Bank of Hilo prepares to expand. No branch in Hawaii is planned until Congress grants a territorial charter, with stock increases and sale of additional shares expected next year. Captain Murray confirms the Antiope consignment offer remains open, while Hawaiian Fertilizer and associates weigh purchase terms contingent on U.S. sovereignty status over Hawaii. The Antiope is to sail to the Sound with lumber and possibly fertilizer for Obili or San Francisco.
