A CORNER IN OPIUM.
The Drug Is Very Dear and the
Supply Extremely Low.
Vigilance Of Revenue Officers Makes
Smuggling Difficult.
This Forebodes Tortures to Thou
sands Who Use II.

There Is woe among the opium fends
OF this city. Somebody has cornered
the opium market, and II the corner
isn't broken soon there 70 liable to be
trouble.
The price OF opium ranges in ordi-
nary times from $3.50 to $3.50 per can,
according to quality. Lately the price
has been going up so cents at a time.
until now the cheapest opium In tie
market brings 50 or $40 a can. and little
can be bought even at that price.
IL you ask one Of the Mott street deal
ers what is the cause of the corner he
will say "stlike." Somebody told the
Cinnamon that there was a strike on in
the West, and that Is siven as the excuse
for hosting the price OF the drug. II
you inquire whether the Chinese-Japau-
csc war has anything to do with II they
simply reply "mebbe.'
The real reason for the corner IL prob
ably the difficulty of smuggling opium
into the country. There Is enough
opium in British Columbia ready to be
shipped into the States to give every
citizen of the Republic a load" but
the unusually stringent measures now
practised by the Government have
proved 80 formidable that the dealers
have been unable to smuggle in enough
to supply the demand
The Wo kec Company Is the great
Notwithstanding concern of this city.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of opium is handled by this Company
yearly. The. rich opium smoker buys
direct from the Wo Kee people, a $3.50
can being sufficient to last an ordinary
"fend, at least two weeks. The great
habit" however, buy In drug stores.
Two pharmacies in the Tender.oin Dis
trict, one in Sixth avenue, a little more
than a stone-throw distance from Capt.
Schmittberger's headquarters. and the
other near the Metropole Hotel, have
the bulk of the retail trade.
The proprietor Of the Sixth avenue
drug store has within the last few days
offered $40 caii for opium, and would
he can obtpil it,. He has only been able
to secure small quantity. His regular
patrons have pleaded in vain to get the
customary amount OF dope" They get
about half the customary amount, and
that, too. only after n long explana tion
OF the trouble the proprietor has been
put to.
Any one who knows what q person ad.
cicted to opium SUITES when unable to
get the drug can appreciate what the
corner" means to the 1000 or 5000 fiends
decrease, and the price to increase, the
hospitals of the city will be overrun with
half-crazed persons craving relief from
the tortures to which those with the
habit are doomed when robbed of the
great Oriental drug.
