A-28 Friday, July 1983 The Honolulu Advertiser Money Hilo's KHBC-TV says it's sign-off time Dow Jones Commodity Indexes WMfcFy vrgM I I 1 1 P35.93 here with income," Evans said yesterday, explaining that revenues averaged $13,000 a month, while expenses were $70,000. "It was time to put the tourniquet on and stop the bleeding." Evans, who owns the coniDanv responsi ble for advertising's Clio awards, said hfeK Board agreed to hear four unfair labor practice charges filed by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1260. The union, which attempted to organize KHBC workers, alleged the employees were told the station would be closed if they supported the union. The union also claimed 17 employees were fired because they were sympathetic to the organizing effort. Evans disputed that and said the workers let go in an austerity move.

Twelve workers remained at the station as of yesterday. "We just aren't making the ends meet KHBC-TV, an independent Hilo television station plagued with labor problems, was to go from "gray to black" last night after its owner decided to close it down rather than face continuing monetary losses. The station was to go off the air at midnight at the close of the broadcasting day. William Evans, station owner and lead personality on a morning show known as "Good Morning Hawaii," said he was closing the facility down permanently because he was losing an average of $57,000 a month. Evans denied the station's recent labor problems figured into his decision.

On Tuesday the National Labor Relations had funded the deficit out of his own poqK-et. He said two Kona radio stations" he also owns, KKON and KOAS, would be not be affected by the TV station's problems. Herbert Takahashi, an attorney who filed the union charges at the NLRB, said he would file another charge at the NLRB if the station went off the air. i Nations money supply increases at mid-month Today's Briefing Bond prices up Bond investors bid up prices despite rising foreign interest rates and a reported $99 billion leap in the nation's 1987 debt, while soybean speculators crammed the commodity trading pits to buy on new fears of drought. In the bond market, a sensitive barometer of the economy and interest rates, the key 30-year Treasury bond rose about $6 per $1,000 in face amount and its yield declined to 8.85 percent from 8.92 percent late Wednesday.

Market analysts attributed the performances largely to the strength of the dollar, which fell only marginally against some major currencies despite moves by West Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium to raise interest rates. The other big market news was in Chicago's commodity pits, where soybean and grain speculators drove up prices sharply, ending a two-day decline that was caused by rainfall on the water-starved farm belt. Their rush to resume buying came after the National Weather Service issued its latest 30-day outlook late Wednesday, calling for almost no rainfall in the critical Cheever sells i to Kapiolani i Kapiolani Health Care System; will acquire David Cheever Ma-: keting and operate it as an in-house advertising and mai' keting division.

Associated Press NEW YORK The two broadest measures of the U.S. money supply rose in mid-June, the Federal Reserve Board reported yesterday.

The Fed said the measure known as M2 rose to a seasonally adjusted $3,018 trillion in the week ended June 20 from $3,013 trillion the previous week. An even broader measure, M3, increased to a seasonally adjusted $3,803 trillion from $3,794 trillion. The narrowest measure of the money supply, Ml, rose to a seasonally adjusted $778.6 billion from a revised $771.8 billion. Ml includes cash in circulation, deposits in checking accounts and non-bank travelers checks. M2 is Ml plus accounts like savings deposits and money-market mutual funds.

of Lexington, Mass. "This is a welcome sign because it eases the pressure a bit on an industrial sector that is operating at close to full capacity." The weakness in May was confined to the transportation sector, which fell 10.2 percent to $28.2 billion because of a big drop in orders for new aircraft. Without this weakness, orders would have climbed a healthy 1 percent during the month. Analysts said orders were likely to jump sharply in June as aircraft demand rebounds reflecting large orders placed with the Boeing Co. The U.S.

manufacturing sector is the star of the economy this year because of a boom in exports brought about by the weaker dollar. The setback in May came in orders for durable goods, items expected to last three or more years. They declined 1.9 percent, also the biggest drop since August. Oil prices fall Crude oil prices dropped to their lowest level this year in active trading. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, the contract for August delivery of West Texas Intermediate, the benchmark U.S.

crude oil, fell 27 cents to $15.16 per 42-gal-lon barrel. It was the lowest level since Dec. 21, 1987, when the near-term contract also finished at $15.16. Oil futures prices fell on fears of a price war after Egypt announced it was lowering its crude export prices for the first half of July. John O'Connell, a senior analyst for Refco said Egypt's announcement made traders even more pessimistic about the oil price outlook than they had been in recent weeks.

Traders have been worried that overproduction by the world's oil nations will continue to depress prices. Egypt's senior oil ministry official, Hammad Ayoub, said his country would reduce its oil export prices by up to $1.85 a barrel for the first half of July. Buyout approved Payless Cashways board of directors approved a $909 million offer from senior management to take the building-supply company private in a leveraged buyout. Management will pay $27 a share in cash for the company's 33.66 million outstanding shares, higher than the $26-a-share offer the group unveiled last week. Payless spokeswoman Maureen Burgess said the higher offer resulted from "negotiations between the special board committee and the management group" and included the settlement of "certain litigation." msmm jt'fiSt From Page Marlton MarsG Mater MalRjh MatSci Mntri Miixphrm MtCIa n.M McRoc Weflch Media .40 MedPrp I.JO Mdcore MeJiq .12 Mern .60 MrchGp IV.elPro .25 MichStr Micron MldAm Midlnds.30 MlnPpl5 MsnRs n.40o MissnW .36 MtchlE MoogB .20 MooqA .28 MMed MrgwtM MorgnF Mtgftrwt MlgPls.BOe Moll MtMed Muntn n.42e Myerl i.20 A-26 20 a 3 42 5 124 13 33 44 174 32 6 10 45 5 2 24 2 27 585 9 22 13 7 13 148 20 6 4 4 16 22 12 455 16 2 32 47 7 27 1300 1 10 38 71 NIPS PI4.25 NuHn .651 NuclDI Numac NvNVMn.0S 1 3 5 Hi 1' '9.
