going on at Panama Is hers; It was she that
urged the Channel tunnel. and at much expense

had q dog-in- the-manger policy about these

How To Trade With Corea.

Now that the Corean authorities have been
officially notified OF our ratification Of the
treaty negotiated between the United States
and the hermit nation, the question arises.
What commercial advantages can be derived
from the unsealing Of the peninsula to Amer
lean trade? What products are desired by
our new customers, and what are the
staples Of export which they might
give US In exchange? Inasmuch as, up
to the recent revolution at Seoul. almost
all the foreign trade OF the country was trans
acted with Japan, tho only sources Of anthem
tic Information are the reports forwarded
by the Japanese Consuls who were permitted
to reside at certain ports. summary OF
these returns covering period Of five years
ending June 80, 1882, was published not long
ago in the Japan Weekly Mail, and will now
be read with interest, seeing that American
merchants are henceforth free to compete for
the trade Of Corea with the Mikado's subjects.
The value OF the whole commerce carried
on between Japan and. the peninsular king
dom, during the five years named, amounted
only to 9.07S,0O0 yen. 1t Ia to be noted, how
ever, that more than seven-ninths OF the
whole trade was carried on at the single port
Of Fusan, and there IL little doubt that q
much larger business could DO doEe at the
new port which is to be opened near Seoul,
the capital. We observe also that, nOtwith-
standing the severe restrictions by which
the Japanese merchants were trammelled
during the period referred to. their
trade showed an increase of more
than tenfold. having risen from $4,000
yen in 1877 to s.s27.OOO yen in 1881.
Hitherto one OF the main obstacles to the do
velopment Of commerce has been the want OF
medium Of exchange. the only native rep
resentatives Of Q coinage being cumbrous
copper coins, 80 difficult Of transport that
merchants have found 1t necessary to con-
fine themselves to the primitive system OF
barter. Indeed, copper was the principal
Japanese product imported into Corea. On
the other hand, gold to the value OF nearly
million yen was exported during the period
under review, Q fact which confirms the
rumor of the existence Of valuable gold mines
In the peninsula.
Most of the articles purchased by the
COreans from the Japanese merchants were
OF European manufacture. For the two
staple products Of Japan, tea and silk,
there was little demand, for the Coreans pre-
fer to obtain tea from China, while, far from
needing to import silk except In the form OF
the finer fabrics. the material Is exported,
both In its raw state and In the coarse manu-.
featured form Of pongee. OF the whole I'M
ports, valued Ut little more than A.oooooo
yen, nearly one-half consisted OF cotton

The Great Cattle Craze.

Facts printed elsewhere will interest both
European and American capitalists. In the
wild West the mining craze seems to have
been supplemented by cattle craze. Men
who know little or nothing about breeding
and herding, invest money in cattle ranches as

European money have been invested In So

A tunnel under the Straits of Gibraltar,
from Spain to Africa which might be pictured
IS the compromising reconnection OF the Dark
Continent with its fellows now that the Suez
Canal has cut it away. would possess a degree
OF scientific and engineering interest not at all
inferior to that OF the delayed or defeated
Channel tunnel. even though Its commercial
importance should be for the present much
less. To the traveller. one sort OF subterranean
transit is very much like another and the sem
sation OF being beneath the Mediterranean
would presumably not be distinguishable from
that OF being under La Manche. Even the
mercantile uses OF this proposed Gibraltar
tunnel will ono day be enormous; for 1t seems
sure that during the coming centuries the full
opening Of the products Of Africa to commerce
wiz be one OF the chief phases Of Old World
history. It IL also noteworthy how France

The Telegraphers' Strike.

Three days experience Of tho telegraphers'
strike makes plain that the Brotherhood
Of Telcgraphers did not overestimate It's
strength at starting. Its men hold together;
rare objections from It's ranks ore reported
Oh doubtful authority; 1t Is adding recruits
to It's numbers; business men are compelled
to make the mails do the work long done by
the wires; and, except on few lines which
the strenuous efforts Of the Western Union
Company succeed in serving well. even the
enormously diminished volume OF its busi-
ness cannot be handled.
The Gold and Stock Telegraph operators
and reporters OF quotations deserted the
Chicago Board Of Trade yesterday. The
effect in the New York Produce Exchange
was grievous. This strike opens new chap
ter Of the resources Of the Brotherhood for
the reading Of the companies. II the next
page OF it chances to be dated at New York
1t is likely to be interesting reading.
Superintendent CLowRY Of the Western
Union Office in Chicago, whose budgets Of
news about the strike have always been con-
ceived in the most cheerful spirit, was CHEEKY
as ever yesterday. THE Suns Chicago re-
porter finds. however. that the telegraph
blockade there Is q serious matter. Also, he
sends word that Mr.. GOULD has summoned
Mr.. CLowRY to New York-perhaps to
supervise the company's metropolitan news
budgets.

remained in its service, and offers double
pay, during the strike, to deserters from

Two companies complain that malicious
damage has been done to their wires In New
York and Brooklyn. There can be nothing
but condemnation for unlawful acts OF this
kind, when there is evidence to support the
complaints.
The officers OF the Western Union Com
pany declare that there will be no compro-
mise with the Brotherhood. The Baltimore
and Ohio Company still declines to recognize
the Brotherhood, but offers to make liberal
terms with its own employees II they viii

The company reports that it has manned its
chief offices efficiently.

How to Stop the Junketing.

1t Is very evident that the appropriations

cess OF the needs OF either service. Other
wise it would be impracticable for the Secre-

subordinates to squander the public money

are coaled and run ut the public expense.

necessities OF the service, these junkets by

extent Of nearly q million yen In the
single year 1881. Almost all these goods
are said to have been Of English manufac-
ture. and to have been purchased by the
Japanese in Shanghai, whence they were
conveyed to Nagasaki. and transhippcd to
vessels bound for Corea. Now, however.
that tho peninsula is open to commerce with
Western nations. Japan will lose this trade In
manufactured cottons. which Is likely TO ac-
Quire large expansion, because, while the
Coreans dress for tho most part In white,
they themselves grow but little cotton, and
possess only rude hand looms. Next to shirt
ings there seems to have been most demand
for cambrics and lawns. There Is also a
market In Corea for drugs and dyestuifs.
The most important staple OF export from
Corea, or. Chosen, rs the natives call the
country, Is rice, for which there will always
be market in China, and, so long as 1t can
be bought at present prices, in japan. Then
comes gold and next hides, and then beans
and peas, silk, seaweed, Beche de Mer, silver,
dried nsh, and ginseng. We may add that
to transact Its commerce with Corea during
the Ave years from 1877 to 1892 Japan re-
quired 401 steamers and sailing vessels Of
foreign build. having an aggregate capacity
Of 10000 tons, and 700 junks, representing
tonnage Of more than 10000.
II American merchants can afford to sell
manufactured cottons OF low grade as
cheaply as their English rivals, there Is no
reason why they should not enter upon o
very profitable trade with Corea. The cottons
may be battered for rice the price Of which
staple In Corea is barely one-third OF what 1t
is In japan. Or cottons might be exchanged
for timber, OF which there are In Corea large
quantities easily accessible from the sea, and
for which there is an active demand in Japan
owing to the deforestation that has taken
place In the latter country. Indeed, the price
OF timber for building purposes hos increased
In japan during the last few years more than
threefold, Its cost being now almost double
what 1t IL in England. 1t would also be safe
to count upon large demand for Corean rice
and Corean timber in northern China.
