HOLIDAY IN THE CRESCENT cIrr-AEDlcAL
CONSULTATION ON YELLOW FEVER
NEW ORLEANS. May 25, 1875
This morning before breakfast the Emperor drove
out accompanied by the visconde de Bonn Retro
The impression made on His Majesty by New Or
leans has not been favorable. lie finds noticeable
difference between the energy and hustle Of the
Northern and Western cities and the easy going
aspect OF the creole population. His Majesty no
ticed with evident disappointment that grass was
growing In the streets. He also commented on the
absence OF good system OF street cleaning which
Is very apparent.
This being holiday Of obligation In the Catholic
Church the imperial party attended service In the
Cathedral Of st. Louis. where the arrival OF their
Majestes created slight sensation among the
faithful. The old Cathedral presented very inter-
cstlng sight, as some hundreds OF young girls were
present dressed in white, with white wells, to re-
ccive the sacrament OF confirmation at the hands OF
Monsignor Ignacio de Oca, Bishop OF Tamaulipas,
Mexico
Leaving the Cathedral the Emperor proceeded to
visit the so-caled Mechanical and Agricultural
College, but found nothing deserving OF the name.
Owing to real tropical downpour OF rain His
Majesty retired to the ST.. Charles, where he had
long interview with the doctors OF the Board of
Health on the subject OF the yellow fever and the
best means OF preventing the spread OF that fearful
epidemic. Very little new light was thrown on the
subject.
Dr. Souza Foutes represented the Brazilian medi-
cal body In the conference. The accepted idea was
that perfect system OF quarantine could prevent
the introduction Of the Infection but that In practice
1t was found impossible to put quarantine regula-
tons sufficiently stringent into operation The New
Orleans doctors attribute the comparative freedom
enjoyed BY the city from this scourge OF the tropics
to the improved quarantine regulations OF the port
In the evening second consultation this i'm
portant subject was held.
Their MaIesties after dinner drove out to Lake
Pontchartrain which they very much admired
The Empress has decided to visit the ettles at the
mouth OF the Mississippi which are being con-
structed under the directions OF Captain Eads. His
Majesty has been deeply interested In this important
work.

Perhaps the most significant facts Of recent
sale Of twelve thousand cases of dry goods
by house in this city on Tuesday last and
the other sales Of the same class made since.
That first sale appears to have originated in
> spirit Of strictly logical enterprise, the
purpose Of which was in the common phrase
ito know the worst !" to ascertain, In fact.
whether there is any basis on which TRANSACT
tons in dry goods can be made; to find
whether there is . market at any price and
what that price is. It is to be presumed
that II this sale had fallen dat-if the invita-
tions had not been responded to, or if the
prices had been altogether hopeless ones
the encouragement felt in this, as in all
Sther lines of trade. would have been
deeper, and, bad as the conditions have been
lately, we might have experienced an even
greater stagnation. Conversely, therefore,
it is to be supposed that a good result gives
reason for more cheerful thoughts.
Scarcely any one concerned in the venture
could have hoped in his most sanguine
moments for result SO good as was OBJ
tanned. It is estimated that from seven to
ten thousand persons were present, and that
in this number the dry goods dealers in
every part of the country were represented
fact which may certainly be accepted as
Indicating widespread opinion that trade
ran be developed at satisfactory prices. The
great interest thus manifested was the first
pleasant surprise in the case, and the next
was found in the views held and shown in
the bidding as to what satisfactory prices
are. It is discovered that the prices which
can be obtained are not by any means such
rs to afford gloomy representations. To
the surprise of the sellers their goods went,
upon the whole, for rates at which they are
understood to. be willing to duplicate the
lots In fact, the level of prices was found
to be so much better than it was thought it
would prove that the moral result is very
great encouragement.
1t is as necessary in trade as in philosophy
to have ''postulate, and the practical pos
t1late is the price for which any article can
be sold. That once ascertained, is the
starting point on which calculation can con-
struct all the rest. Given the price for
which thing can be sold, and modern in
dustry will make the thing for that price.
1t can show the producers and holders of
the raw material that they must sell for such
proportion of that price or not sell at all,
and they yield. 1t can even coerce labor,
the most obstinate element in the case It
can economize by new processes. Dry
goods men may take from this sale an indi-
cation Of the basis on which they can run
their mills. and we do not doubt the fact
will give great impulse to their operations
1t is, moreover, scarcely possible that this
impulse. once given, should be restricted to
one line of commercial and industrial
activity.
