OUR FOREIGN MARKETS.
Washinoton. Auk. 15 -The sec
retary of agriculture iHued today a
supplement to the publication of
reviews on foreign markets. Jt
shows notwitbstandinK the depres-
sion of business in 18!)4 the United
Btates exported 389,8tf ,000 worth
aRainnf mtfiVH in 1893.
Three-fourths of the amount curne
from farms.
The English-speaking people of
Europe bought of Americans $51,
000,000 worth, and taking British
poHeHsions all together, they took
523,000,000 worth. The United
States imported from Great Britain
fi07.0O0.000 in 1894, of IB per cent
of our entire imports.
Almost 90 per cent of the .-.tal
United States exports was to the
Uuited Kingdom and British pos
sessions, Germany, Canada Fiance,
the Netherlands and Belgium.
THE
GOLD SYNDICATE AND
THE TREASURY.
London Aug. 15-The financial
article in the Standard says:
Ti,o rr,1,1 avn.licate assumes a
M. UW "J
bold faco, but that alone will not
prevent gold exports from America,
and the autumn exports of produce
do not promise to be anything like
so heavy as to allow the syndicate
to liquiate its debts here and at the
same time to turn the gold current
inwards. Therefore the American
raiload market is stifled by appre
hension. CHOLERA RAGING IN JAPAN.
Victoria. B. C., Aug. 15-Al-
thongh passengers arriving by the
Oriental liners that have reached
here this week agree in the state
ment that cholera is working fright
ful havoc in Japan, the newspapers
of that country contains no refer
ence to the devastations of the
nlaeue. This is probaly due to the
fact that the disease finds its vict
ims chiefly among soldiers recently
returned from the front, and the
government takes advantage of the
law relating to the press censors&ip
to its ful lest extent.
According to the officers of the
Victoria and the more recently
arrived Emoress of Japan, the mil
itary has suffered a loss of thousands
during the past few months and
the principal stations in Japan are
at present converted into great nos
pitals. The Formosa expedition
has proved especially disastrous.
OREGON FRUIT GOING EAST.

lishment of an Eastern market,
manv inquiries concerning the
price of different fruits are coming
in from out the valley. X ruit is
taken only on consignment as yet.
The shipment today was made up
of a choice quality of Bartlett pears
and Washington plums.
EUROPE SENDING WARSHIPS
TO CHINA.
Parts, Aug. lG.-The Figaro to
day discussing the recent murders
of missionaries in Cdiua, says:
"We today are nearer to a col
lective expedition of European war
ships to the far East than wne tne
Japanese were marching on Pe
king." THE WORST IS OVER.
Washington, Aug. 16.-Treasury
officials were informed from New
York todav that $300,000 in gold
had been withdrawn for export,
which leaves the cold reserve at the
close of business today 1102,151,
90S The treasury officials were
agreeably surprised at the small -
nexa of today' withdrawals and
this, added to the reduction of for-
t-iim exchamro and the reported
o " -
abundance of foreign bills now on
the market, gives a hopeful aspect
of the situation. The opinion is
freely expressed that the worst is
over-
