THE MOKKTWG OKEGOOTLAS" EBIDAY, FKEROABY: 22, 1895. THE BUSINESS WORLD QUICK SALE FOIt CALIFORNIA VSGETABL.ES. Tlie Vhcst Trade Reports by Tele- jrraph General Produce and Financial Advices. A terse Het of California vegetables arrived OB tfe market yesterday. The truck was In first-etnas eandirkm. and sold readily under a strong demewA. New potatoes made their ap pearaaee. Cabbage was firm, and other descrip tions steady, roultry is slow sale. Eggs and I'ur.er are weak. Staple groceries and mer chandise are unchanged. Proat in TlnlHlng GinKenff. A bulletin issued by the agricultural depart ment shows that the wholesale price of our gin ceng has steadily increased from 52c a pound in 1S53 to more than $3 per pound in ISO I. and that the value of the export for the past decade has amounted to between 5600,000 and $1,000,000 a year, the foreign movement being 250,000 pounds, at an average value of ?3 per pound. It is also pointed out that the natural supply is now rapidly decreasing, and that if present con ditions continue, its extermination Is inevitable. At the same time cultivation is entirely prac ticable, and there would seem to be no reason why ranchers on the Pacific coast should not give it a trial, says the San Francisco Commer cial Kw8. They raise wheat that they cannot now sell for the cost of production; fruit, much of wMcb has to be allowed to spoil on the trees. because there Is too much for local consump tion, and transportation charges are too high to allow of Its being shipped East at a profit; wine that does not often pay for pressing out sifter the grapes are picked; hops that on ac couat of overproduction arc often rooted up. vines and all, and wool that when sold does not pay for the feed of the sheep that bore it. The farmers need not fear in raising this commo dity that there is any danger of overstocking the market. The growth is too slow, and there is always a good demand in tiiis city. Chinese end away large shipments by every steamer that sails for the Orient. The shipments lately Iwve not been very large, probably owing to the scarcity or high price of the article. The last fcteamer sailing took for China 5992 pounds, aJuod at ?STG. This was the price as mani fested at the custom-house, but sales are made by growers as high as $5 per pound. Hank Statement.

Wheat had lost some of the bearish spirit with which it closed yester day when trading recommenced this morning. The report circulated yesterday with reference to damage to the French crop was generally contradicted. The foreign markets were firm. The Northwestern receipts were not so con spicuously heavy as on the two preceding days. The market ruled firm at the slight decline which occurred at the opening, and worked its way up very slowly from the time of the open ing until noon, at which time May had reached 3&c St. Louis kept sending bullish messages, and New York also appeared struck with the desire, and the fact that cables quoted i cen times advance In February Hour, and 15 cen times rise in March wheat, while Berlin was quoted 1 mark higher, gave apparent confirma tion of uneasiness over there. These latter items caused an advance to rrjc The taking of profits after the advance referred to was too general to permit of the price being maintained, and although a suspicion became very general toward the end that underneath the smoke of French crop damage some fire existed, still enough wheat was sold to cause a reaction to MCB3&C, with 63V,c the latest trading price.

This was a dull and most uninteresting day on the stock exchange. The volume of business in the railway list was extremely light, the industrial stocks occupy ing the chief attention of the speculative fra ternity, and these were Lead, American To bacco and National Lead. Tobacco opened at an advance of & per cent; but the Improvement was short lived. At the lowest figures, there was covering of shorts, which resulted in a rally of 3 per cent to 87J. the decline on the day being 1 per cent. Tobacco preferred fell off i per cent on sales of 200 shares. Lead was strong in the early dealings, and advanced 1 per cent. On the publication of an official state ment made by President Thompson that no div idend on the common stocks was declared, there was a sharp reactionary movement, which was not checked until a loss had been made of "- per cent, with a recovery of only ,4 per cent at the close, the net decline being 1 per cent. Consolidated Gas sold up 2 per cent, and re acted W. In the railway list, the grangers were the most active, but moved within a narrow range, except Northwestern, which sold up per cent to 91 in the early trading, but fell oft 1 per cent in the last hour, closing within V, of the lowest. Manhattan sold up ls ptr cent, losing & of the gain. The rest of the market was irregular, but the fluctuations were merely fractional. The market closed about steady. The bond market ruled active and higher throughout the day. Total sales, $1,332,500. Government bonds, strong and per cent higher for 4s; state bonds, steady: railroad bonds, firm.

The question whether or not there will be a general strike of the workers in the various build ing trades engaged en the several large edifices now in course of erection, has been placed in the hands cf a committee of eight of the board of walking dele gates for decision. Such a strike would mean the turning out of possibly SO.000 men In sympathy with the electrical work ers. The committee will meet tomorrow afternoon and consider the advisability of ordering the men over whom they have control to quit work. Only about 1000 men quit work, instead of 13,000 as predicted, but this, It was stated by the walking delegates, was be cause they had not been called out. The contractors claim it was because the men in other unions were not directly Inter ested in the fight between the electrical contractors and their employes, and It was only with difficulty that the delegates could induce them to stop worlc LONDON", Feb. 2L Lord Rosebery's ad ministration has' passed successfullly through a storm which its opponents thought would overwhelm it, and which many of its friends believed would re quire the most skillful statesmanship to weather. Despite the predictions of the conservative peers and the more or less badly disguised fears of liberals, the gov ernment came out of the contest with fly ing colors and 'with a majority that sur prised even these who would at no time admit there was a chance of defeat. The question that precipitated the dan gerous situation was raised by Sir Henry James, formerly attorney-general In Mr. Gladstone's cabinet, but who abandoned the liberal party on the bringing forward cf the Irish home-rule scheme. By stand ing order No. 15 of the house of com mons, a member may move for the ad journment of the house for the purpose of discussing a matter of public Import ance. Taking advantage of this order. Sir Henry today moved the adjournment in order to call attention to the import du ties, recently decided upon by the gov ernment of India, on cotton. It is claimed by many of the manufacturers of Man chester and other cotton centers in Lan cashire that the imposition of these du ties will have a most serious effect on their business, and they desired the Im perial government to Intervene for their abolition. The cotton interest is strongly repre sented in the house and, when the notice of the motion' was given, it was con jectured, not only by many conservative pepers but by 'some of the stanchest lib eral organs, that the government, which is bound to oppose the desired change, would be overthrown by the Lancashire party. In combination with conservatives and liberals interested in the cotton trade. The Pamellites, too. were expected to cast their votes against the government, but the result did not bear out the hopes or fears of the political parties, for, by a majority of 155 the Rosebery ministry triumphantly repelled the attacks of its assailants. This result was, in a meas ure, due to the attitude of Mr. Goschen, who, though a liberal-unionist, dealt with the question in a spirit of great fairness towards the government. He suggested the holding of -a conference in order to remedy the deficit In India, for which pur pose the cotton Import duty and the ex cess duty on cotton were laid. When the division came to be taken on the motion, it was found that a large number of conservatives and liberal-unionists and also several members repre senting Lancashire districts went into the government camp in a body. Among those who voted against the government was the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, who, It is said, was responsible for the publishing of the motion. Baron de Rothschild and several other liberal-unionists abstained from voting. It was 5:13 when Sir Henry obtained leave to sub mit his motion. The house was crowded and great excitement prevailed in the lobbies. In his speech Sir Henry said that India was the greatest market Lancashire had for her cotton and textile goods. The prosperity of Xancashlre depended on that of India. The cotton Industry in India was flourishing, and had largely supplanted the trade of Lancashire with China and Japan. The industry in Lan cashire, consgjjenlly, "was decreasing. No profits were madczby the cotton masters, and working people were thrown out of employment by the stoppage of mills or the curtailment of production. Ho charged that the secretary of state for India had listened to the agitators in India, while he had neglected to consult friends in Lancashire. Henry Fowler, secretary of state for India, emphatically denied the existence of any agitation or conspiracy on behalf of any class of persons on this subject, but said he had taken counsel with the highest and most distinguished servants of the crown in India. The proposed duties were to be levied on the higher class of goods, in which there is prac tically no opposition and he concluded: "In regard to the question of free im port and protective duties, they are not the same thing. What we have recom mended to foreign countries is not the abolition of import duties, but of protec tive duties. There Is no protection when a custom duty is accompanied by an equivalent excise duty." Mr. Goshen, chancellor of the exchequer In Lord Salisbury's last administration, admitted that the question was a large one. There was much to be said on both sides, and the feelings of the Indian peo ple ought to be taken into account. Membera of the house ought to range themselves on the side of the executive. The question ought to be arranged by a conference, with a view to remedying the deficit in the Indian budget. Sir William Vernon Harcourt said he recognized the lofty spirit of Mr. Goshen's remarks. The government had fully fore seen the difficulties of the question, but had not hesitated a single moment In taking a decision that It believed was necessary for the Interests of India. If defeated, the government would have the satisfaction of knowing it could not have fallen in a more worthy cause. Dadabahad Maoroji, an East Indian, who represents the central division of Finsbury in the liberal interests, warned the opposlton that. If the motion were adopted, the first nail would be driven Into the coffin of British rule in India. A division was then taken on the motion and it was defeated by a large majority, the vote being 301 against 109 in favor of it. Chinese Troops Xear Foo Choo.

One of the resolu tions reported to the committee on reso lutions is as follows: "We denounce the unpatriotic and un American action of the Cleveland admin istration regarding- the young republic of Hawaii; its covardly act of hauling down the American flag, and its arrogant dis regard of public sentiment in this coun try relating thereto."

London Post Views an io "What Canada Has Done. LONDON. Feb. 21. The Morning Post will say tomorrow: "If Great Britain and Australia have done nothing practical toward effecting the Pacific cable, Canada has more than fulfilled the task she undertook. She vir tually has solved the problem whether it should be a government concern or be left in the hands of a company. Mr. San ford Fleming's weighty memorandum shows the conscientious manner in which Canada has carried out her trust to the letter. There , is every reason to make Fanning Island the first station after Vancouver. The adoption of Bird and Ncckar islands would be an error that might lead to serious consequences. If Mr. Fleming can prove to the commission, which it is understood will meet In Lon don, that the imperial guarantee will not Increase the demands upon the British exchequer and that the Australian col onies will be ready and willing to con tribute their shares, he will have done a great work, which should place him in the front rank cf colonial statesmen." The Post attacks the Australian col onies for trying to impress on the mother country the importance of a connecting link, and then hesitating to perform their share. This course, says the writer, shows a want of patriotism. OTHER FOREIGX XEWS. The Situation in Efrypt.

Fire broke out In the Arbuckle Bros.' big coffee mills, at John and Jay streets and the East river, at 4:40 P. M. today, and it was after 7:30 this evening before the dozen engines and two fireboats that responded to the alarms succeeded In controlling It. A number of men and girls employed In the mills had narrow escapes. Half a dozen sustained burns and injured themselves by jumping, but there was no loss of life. The fire started In the largest of the three buildings occupied by the firm. It was an eight-story building. Nearly 100 girls were employed In the buildings, and there were 250 persons In the structures when the fire began. The firemen helped the workmen and girls to escape. The flames shut off the retreat of eight men who were at work on the eighth floor. Ladders were put up, but they would reach only to the. seventh floor. Six of the men who were on the eighth floor procured a rope and slid down it to the top of the ladder, and then made their way to the ground. Two others ran to the roof, and, finding all other means of escape shut offr jumped down two stories to the roof ot the six story building adjoining. Both men frac tured bones In the ankles. Foreman Wal lace, of the mills, who gave the alarm, was badly burned about the face and hands. About half of the girls escaped out the front way into the street, while 40 escaped at the rear of the mills and were driven to the end of the dock by the heat and flying embers. They were terror-stricken when they found them selves penned in by the flames. Finally a steam lighter came to their rescue, and they were all taken to an adjoining coal dock, from which they reached the street. During the progress of the fire several of the big cylinders for roasting coffee exploded. The loss is estimated at $300,000. PORTLAND, Feb. 21. (To the Editor.) It is the opinion of those best qualified to judge that the present war In China will do more to open up the Orient than a century of progress without a war. War, at Its best, and that's the case In China, is but a cruel slaughter, but since time began it has been the most potent factor in both religious and pro fane history, to bring- about good results and advance the races of men upward and onward. This is all of especial Interest to the people of this coast, a region surpassingly rich m all natural resources and which far exceeds that of any other section of the United States. Its future Is there fore most brilliant, and anything that will advance its commercial and material supremacy should be vigorously pursued. A prompt and persistent bid for the Oriental trade is therefore in order. Japan has proven herself a mighty lit tle warrior, and if we are to judge by its present successes it will, in time, certainly be the England of the Orient; indeed, there is considerable similarity between the two little Islands, and there- is no doubt that, notwithstanding the Influence of Russia, England. France and other powerful nations, which, as a mat ter of fact are watching to prevent one another's Interference more than to In terfere with Japan, that Japan will soon be recognized among the first-rate pow ers. Another most interesting fact which all this develops, is tha -opening up of the heretofore closed countries to Investiga tion and research into their civilization; the oldest in the world, and consequently the most Interesting. Corea especially, about which so little Is known, and from which country Japan was settled, seems to offer the best field at present. Frank G. Carpenter says that Its possibilities and immediate future are better than either Japan or China for foreigners. But what is of especial interest to me, as I intend going there soon, is the pres ent status of medicine and surgery. It i3 difficult to obtain much information about Corea, but as to China, we know that about 4000 years ago they cor rectly described Asiatic cholera; they taught that consumption was an acute Infectious disease, as we recognize It. (We date our knowledge, however, from Koch's discovery In 1SS2.) They success fully performed surgical operations in which a knowledge of anesthetics, anti septics and so-called modern appliances must have been necessary. In fact, in most every line of investigation we soon er or later run against the assertion that It was known long ago in China. Never theless, the civilization there at the pres ent time is backward and barbarous, and shows but little more evidence of the grandeur and glory which was once Its boast than the troubled surface of the Atlantic shows what tradition says lies hidden beneath It In Atlantis. In studying old civilizations one can not fail but find many refreshing facts and fancies, which bear out, or contro vert, as you please, some of our boasted learning. Like the Greeks of old, we are constantly seeking some new thing, or in quiring into the cause of some old one, and so in medicine wc ask why do the Chinese give snakes, lizards, tiger-claws, etc., as medicines. Their reasons appear quite as rational as some we are often forced to give. For instance: The Chinese give a dried centipede in a cup of tea, for rheumatism, because they "Re lieve that small portions of certain drugs, taken internally, will Impart the qualities that distinguish the animal to the person who takes the remedies. Therefore, be cause a centipede is flexible, it would render flexible a limb stiff with rheuma tism. A deer, entire, Is beaten in a large mortar, pills made and given to persons old and infirm, with the idea that they will impart renewed vigor to those en feebled, because, forsooth, the deer was an active animal. But, withal, this isn't so very absurd when we consider the pe culiar grounds many of the creeds, sys tems of medicine, methods of cure, etc., are based on, and which have strong fol lowings in the enlightened Western hemis phere! I have but to call to mind the furor the Brown-SeqUard plan of rejuven ating old men, created a few years ago, and which, though proven a pal pable fallacy, the principles of which are even now being carefully studied and insisted upon as correct by some eminent men. They claim, and are trying to prove, that certain animal extracts make better medicines than many of the vege table and mineral substances so long used by the different creeds of the medical profession. Indeed, as I showed In a re cent communication to The Oregonian, the tendency of modern medicine, as dis tinguished from surgery, is toward a more rational system than that in vogue for the last 50 or (X) years, and while apparently improbable and ridiculous it might, never theless, be true that In tts essentials it may be borrowed from the hidden records of remotest antiquity. This is an easy asser tion when we remember that the records of the Bible, Talmud, Mishna, Koran and other ancient writings show evidence of greater knowledge of physical, mental and medical sciences than is known at any period of history familiar to our civiliza tion. To Illustrate the tendency of modem medicine I havo but to allude to the antl toxme treatment for diphtheria and the principle it teaches, and to show the treat ment of ordinary indigestion. Pepsin, a preparation of the mucus lining of a fresh and healthy pi?, sheep or calf, is given when we suppose the pepsin of the human system is deficient. Cod liver oil Is given to make a person fat or to prevent tissue waste, because It Is composed of almost i pure fat! There Is certainly a more or less remote connection between these princi ples and those of the Chinese in giving their centipedes, etc. The Balds, or native medical men of In dia, perplex us with seme ot their mys terious cures, all entirely In a medical way, for of surgery they know nothing, as do none of the other Oriental races. While they are full of what we call prac tical ignorance, they are nevertheless classically learned, having mastered the original treatises in Sanscrit, which they believe to be inspired, and upon which they base their knowledge. That they sometimes make wonderful cures wh?r others have failed and the disease sup posed Incurable, Is not disputed, but then an ordinary doctor, in our country, some times does the same thing! Among all early people. It has been Intimated, we find medicine to have been Intimately interwoven with mental phe nomena. It was occult, hence a factor of religious belief developed by the unknown mysteries of life and death. The same theories also obtain among some prim itive races of the present, as the Shanes of Kalmucka, the Tadibes of Tungusa, the Ilantus of Malay, the Angoskos, the Eskimos, the negroes and Indians of America are all exponents of therapy and at the same time exercising seml-sacer- dotal functions. The same Is true In a more or less degree of the Mohammedan3. Hakims, Hindus, Brahmins, Chinese and Coreans. They know little or nothing of surgery, as we understand it, and so Americans or Europeans who go to China or Corea especially, soon, by their sur gical successes, achieve a wonderful repu tation. There is in the countries opened up by the present war, a wealth of scien tific information, as there is of material prosperity for all who can get In now, which will no doubt be startling In Its ef fects and wide-reaching In Its results.
