4 GREAT MARKET FOR GINSENG.
OUR CONSUL. AT Annoy THINKS THAT AMERICAN
FARMERS SHOULD GET BETTER
PRICES FOR 1T.
fpy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Washington Nov 1.-Accord!rg TO the estimate
of Consul Johnson. Of Annoy. the total value OF
ginseng roots consumed In China each year
amounts to $50 00O 90 In Annoy ginseng sells nj i25
to SIS Niexican) s2 20 10 81 80 gold. a pound
and II costs exporter In the United states s. to
90 a pound. In 1886 the Annoy market took ss,5l1
worth gold OF ginseng from the United States. be-
sides "a 222 worth from Corea. The Corean ginseng
costs much more than tho American being more
skiIfully cured although not otherwise superior In
quality II will be observed that the exporter OF
ginAng from the United States TO China reaps a
big profit Consul Johnson Is OF the opinion that
the farmers who dig and cure ginseng. which
grows wild In great quantities In many OF the
States ought TO den and and receive higher prices
for H. because the market for their product Is
steady and practically unlimited one lie says
at Is used as invigorating tea by all tho
wealthy Chinese and as medicine BY the native
physicians II enters largely into the list OF pres
ens sent by the wealthy to friends and the articles
ex hanged between high officials. 1t is bought by
the middle classes throughout the entire Empire
and even the poor peasants give up their hard
earned silver for this national panacea."
The Consul expresses the hope that these facts
may he brought TO the attention OF chambers OF
commerce in the States and districts interested
'in order not only that the possibilities may be
disclosed, but that knowledge OF the prices may be
disseminated TO protect those who most need the
benefits to be derived from the industry
