THE CHOLERA GERM.
SHALL THE AMERICAN CITIZEN TAKE
1T INTO HIS SYSTEM,
by Way of Vaccination?- Opinions OF
New York Physicians-A Hopeful View
of the Prospects-The Scourge Re-
ported at Marseilles.

NEW YORK, June S.-The question Of in
)culation for cholera is attracting general
attention among medical men and citizens
generally. Among physicians in this city
opinion seems to be divided. Those who OPP
Do e vaccination are unanimous in their &C
lion Many, not numbered in this class,
are disposed to think that Ferran has made
very valuable discovery, AMI that inoeula-
tion for thu prevention of cholera will soon
become generally established DIR. T. s.
Jones, of the New York board of health,
when asked what he thought of the expert
ments of DIR. Jaime Ferran, the Spanish
physician. said;
81 know but little about the experiments
of DIR. Ferran except what | have read in
the daily newspapers. The origin of chol-
BRA is still shrouded in mystery, and until
the value Of such remedy as incubation
with cholera virus has been proved dur
ing an epidemic it would be folly
10 decide for or against it. At present
| am inclined to look upon the theory
with suspicion for the reason that one can
have cholera any number of times. Small
pox strikes man but once, but cholera
seems to leave no sort of protecting traces
behind it, The disease may rage year
after year in the same place. We
cannot undertake to include inoc-
ulation among the measures for
the prevention of cholera here
this summer. We know too little about its
value, and many eminent European author
tiles are inclined to deny that it has any.
New York was never better prepared against
an epidemic than it is now. Our streets
are clean. The sanitary condition of the
city is excellent. and every preparation has
been made to keep off cholera and stamp il
out if it should get past quarantine"
At the office of the board of health Dr.
Cyrus Edison, chief inspector of the Second
division, gave his opinion as follows; "lr
the first place, l do not think this question
will come before the people. There are nc
| indications of an outbreak of cholera here
| at present, and we hope to escape it:
ravages this summer. As to the princi-
pie of incubation with cholera virus. it is
far from having been proved success
During the course of every epidemic new
remedies are suggested which often are
,hown to be futile Recently the oxyger
cure was recommended as an absolute rem
sdy for cholera, but after this was tested il
was found utterly worthless. Should the
cholera occur in New York we should surely
try incubation as preventive if by thai
time it had been demonstrated to have beer
useful in Europe.

Condition of Trade.

New YORK, June s. - The past
week as recorded in special tele-
grams to Bradstreet's, shows an in
increased depression in general trade. The
demand for fall goods is below anticipa-
tion and in transportation circles freight
rates are lower than ever The demand for
the produce does not exist even at
the eastern and westers centers con-
tinue to &C Emulate funds Interest rates
at the interior are lower than ever before,
and in still other ways there arc evidences
Of accommodating idle commercial machinery.
The industrial situation is complicated by
the strike OF lockout of $4,000 employees Of
western iron mills, but no effect has been
felt on the iron marketyet The unemployed
capacity of mills still running is believed to
be sufficient to meet larger demand.
The Commercial and Financial Chronicle
say the exchanges for May show a slight i'm
provement in the aggregate over those for
April, but as they compare with a heavier
total in 1884 the percentage of de-
cline from that year is somewhat greater.
This brings the loss for the five months up
TO 20.4 per cent. against q decrease at the
close of April of %. per cent Topographic
returns of clearings for the five days ended
Friday evening show a total of 1857, 4S2. 700,

selves TO give up the strike. The officers Of
