TRADE PARALYZED.

New York. Oct. 1.-THE Herald will
say tomorrow:
The steamship trade with New Or
leans and Galveston is about paralyzed
because of the prevalence of yellow
fever at those points of entry. Two
steamships Of the Morgan line, one from
each port, are bound back to this port
with cargoes of freight intended for
distribution throughout Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Texas, which the health
authorities declare would never be al
lowed to pass the limits of the plague
stricken cities. Three other vessels of
the sane line which left here during
the last few days will also be obliged
to carry back the freight shipped for
points outside of New Orleans and Gal
weston to this port.
The embargo is not against freight
for use in either of the cities, but is
destined to prevent goods spreading con-
tagionS of the plague in the outlying
districts. So severely has the embargo
crippled the southern trade that the
Morgan and Mallory lines have rduced
their freight carrying fleet to one steam
ship a week each, and the weekly YES
drawn.
Besides the loss of handling much of
the southern freight, the companies
fear the withdrawal of the merchandise
which has already been refused entry
at New Orleans and Galveston. Ar
rangements have been made, however,
to ship the consignment by rail with
the consent of the shippers.

A. DIR. Trueheart says State Health Of
ficcr Swcaringen saw the case with him
and confirmed the diagnosis. Other mem
bcrs of the committee have not yet re-
ported upon it,
DR.. Edward Randall this morning re-
ported two cases in his practice. which
he pronounced yellow fever, those of
George d. Morgan, II bookkecper, $40
Postotiice street, and Henry Stawinsky,
plasterer, 1921 Broadway. DIR. True
heart examined these cases and pronounc-
this morning, but Dr. Randall pro-
nornccs him much better this evening.
Stawinsky is convalescing.
The following report was made this
evening by Dr.. Truehcarts colleagues of
the advisory committee:
Galveston, Tex, October I. 1871
Fred X. Fisher, NJ. D.. Acting City
Health Physician. Galveston, Tex
Dear Sir: We have this day made
CAREFUL examination of the cases of Geo.
Morgan. $40 Postollice street. and of
Henry Stawnsky, Thirty-ninth and
Broadway. and are of the opinion that
neither of the cases are, or have been,
yellow fever.
In the case of Mr.. Morgan unmistak-
able trace of the dengue rash are still
present and the clinical history shows the
existence of this rash in abundance for
the last three days. In the case of
Stawnsky the clinical symptoms elected
force us to the opinion stated above.
&c. III. WILKINSON,
-. T.. BURK."
The original four cases are getting
along nicely and there have been no
fatalities. The infected houses are under
quarantine guard and the city is being
thoroughly disinfcctcd. No passenger
trains are being run in or out of Calves
ton. Preparations have been made for
fumigating the mails and sending them
out of the city to trains and the postal
authorities have been wired for conhr-
nation. The Galveston, Houston and
Henderson: Missouri. Kansas and Texas
and International and Great Northern
Railroads made arrangements this after
noon to have their ears sent north after
being fumigated. These lines are still
bringing freight to Galveston and ships
will he provided with cargoes. Cotton re-
ceipts today were about normal.

the gold from the Yukon 10 not Of so
much value as that produced In califor-

said: we have found the miners from
the Yukon q very nice class of people TO
deal with and they have not been de-
celved In the value OF the gold they
have brought back with them. II Is a
fact that the Yukon gold is not as val
liable as that produced in this state. We
have found that there are from nifty to
one hundred points more base metal In
the northern product. These base met
ais are iron, lead and a few other and
there ~ q large quantity OF silver also.
We look principally for the gold and
silver. It Is the Iron that gives the Yu-
kon gold Its fine rich color.
"of course these other metals de-
crease the metals q little. The nuggets
from the Yukon are worth 81 and SIS
per ounce and the finer gold dust Is
worth from SIG to 81 per ounce. With
the California gold Vaiue. Is about n
dollar an ounce more, that Is nuggets
run from SIS to $40 and gold dust eve
less than SIT per ounce.

other metals than those j have men

them, as the other base metals do not
