COMPLETE LOSS.
Residence Of John ]. Cook Destroyed
Loss Aggregates $4,000.

AtS:50 Wednesday night an alarm
was sent in from box 16, No. 8 engine
house. P. ]. Cummins had discoy-
cred fire in the large frame resi-
dence of John J. Cook, 5O7 w. Mar
ket st. No one was at home at the
time and the cause of the fire Is a
mystery. The hose carts from de-
partments /, Q and 8, and truck and
chemical from the Central were sen
to the blaze. The fire had gained
great headway, the interior of the
residence, being mass of flames
before any work was commenced by
the department. Nothing was saved,
the residence and all the contents
being destroyed. Mr.. Cook esti-
mates his loss at $4,000. OF this
5000 is on the house and $1,000 on
contents. The total insurance is
5000.

and soliciting aims from the passersby
and from the crowds in the shops and
saloons. No other city in the world has
30 many mendicants who ply their lowly
calling with such consummate craft.
1 have seen enough incidents Of this
peculiar feature Of street life in Manila
to fill a volume. The other day I saw
something I shall long remember. It
was down in the Juiapo district. There
in the street a venerable beggar had
sunk down on the sidewalk and leaned
his weary back against the wall, he
eating a bit Of cold meat and q crust of
bread given him by a soldier. He was
not alone, nor was he accompanied by
q child, as many beggars are. His only
companion was q dog, which put his
long nose up between his masters
knees in sign Of expectation. Nothing
could shake his faith, as he knew that
his master would not forget him, and
he did not. The poor mendicant divided
his scanty lunch with his dumb com.
panion.
Another scene which I shall neve1
forget was n witnessed in the out.
skirts Of the city only q few days ago.
As I was passing along q street I saw q
poor. miserable woman sitting on q
stone with an infant in her arms. As ]
passed she arose and intercepted me,
holding out her hand for money. When
! hesitated . moment. her pleading
were incessant, and, although I under
stood not q word Of the Tagale language,
the appeal was most eloquent, but moi

the solicited coin was given.

one, and here also beet root culture d
likely to become extensive. Sugar cane
grows lu%xuriantly and contains q large
percentage Of the saccharine element.
The sugar business is now chiefly in the
hands of Chinese planters, and as yet
only the most crude manufacturing
processes are in vogue. Yet the output
is already large, and there are abundant
opportunities for vast development in
the future.
The Germans own several tobacco
and cigar factories in Manila, aud this
industry is perhaps further developed
than most others on the islands. Philip
pine tobacco has no superior. In Manila
this industry gives employment to more
persons than any other single occupa-
tion. Here everybody smokes, cigars
and cigarettes being extremely cheap.
The best cigar costs but 2 cents, and
the same amount buys q package of two
dozen cigarettes.
The lumber industry is one Of the
least developed, yet it must eventually
prove one Of greatest Importance and
profit. At present there is but one steam
sawmill on the islands. The fine hard
woods are cut into boards by laborers
who use only small handsaws, and the
work is slow and expensive. Much valu-
able timber is also wasted. Fortunes
await those who judiciously devote
their attention to the lumber business
on these islands.
The peanut is extensively cultivated
on Luzon island. The rice industry is
n of Importance, and the ricefields
about Manila are extensive and luxu-
RANT. 1t is unnecessary to dwell on the
rich tropical fruits which grow wild in
abundance here. Probably the cocoa
nut is the natives most valued produc-
tion. From it are manufactured the fine
pima cloth and many other articles Of
necessity. Tea is successfully cultivated

is all collected in one vessel,
and this mixture is made into a kind
of jelly. It is amusing to see the natives
skin the animals. They make a bun
job of it. With the hide the outer
layer Of meat ia taken off, and after
ward native boys strip this from the
hide. Next comes the work Of disem-
boweling, and after the entrails are re-
moved they are taken to another room
and there prepared for food by native
women. Every part Of the animal is
used. Even the hoofs are taken to watts
md, the gelatin extracted. After the
carcass is quartered and hung upon the
hooks it is taken off the bones and then
sent to the native market houses. About
200 animals are slaughtered nightly.
To Americans horse meat is something
new, but to the Spanish and natives,
who endured the siege when rats sold
for a peso, this meat is a luxury. Most
of the ponies slaughtered are old and
unfit for any service. They bring only
about 10 pesos at the matadero. It is
amusing to watch the processes Of
butchering a pony. With the Chinese
horse meat is a favorite. Dogs are killed
on a different plan. OF the smaller ami
mails which enter the slaughter yard the
pig is, the only which can make any
p~retensions to being fat. Such are the
scenes about the place where is prepared
the meat eaten by the 800, 900 people Of
Manila, but this is only one Of many

Since the American authorities as.
sumed control of affairs in Manila there
have been a decided improvement in
business conditions and a feeling Of
greater confidence among European
traders. Under the Spanish administra-
ton the Manila custom house was run
on the most corrupt principles. If an
importer wished to escape payment of
full duty, he had only to pay a fee to
some dishonest official, and the thing
was done. In this way the INSCRIPTIONS
importer al placed at an advantage.
and the merchant who paid full duty
was unable to compete with him. It
was also the practice to exact heavy
fines for any trivial mistakes in invoic-
ing, and American firms suffered with
the rest. Under our administration
things are changed, and an honest en-
forcement Of customs laws has had the
effect of clarifying the business atmcs-
phere and rendering commercial con
ditions quite satisfactory.
Spanish currency is the principal
money used in Manila, although q Mex.

BRITISH AND AMERICAN PRICES.

British prices have risen since January l
about as much as American. The London
Economist" commenting on Its price tables ana
indcx number. SAYS THE continued activity In
"most Of our leading industries, supported as 1t
..is nv n similar expansion in all the principal
commercial countries. Is at length exercising
"marked effect on the general range of prices"
It's index number being 1913 on April l. against
1918 on January /. As such figures have no
meaning without reference to some known base
or starting point, It may be convenient to trans
late The Economists" figures into their ratio
10 it's index number on January l, lSoo, when
Is 7320 This means that British prices as
compared by 1.-The Economist" are now 2G.Il
per cent lower than on January !, 1850, and
that last January they were 2S.75 per cent
lower. so that the rise has been 2O4 per cent or
the prices twenty nine years ago.
American prices show a somewhat higher RISE
in part because a far larger number and wider
range Of articles are used In comparison, includ-
ing much greater proportion OF manufactured
products In forms for use, and are, moreover,
compared with due regard to the relative i'm
portance of each But the American prices on
April were 6S. 10 per cent of the prices for the
same articles on January /, 1860, compared In
the same way, against 66.43 per cent on January
/. 1890 Thus the American advance since Jan
uary 1 has been 2.32 per cent Of the prices In
1860, while the British has been 204 per cent.
The British table shows decline In breadstuffs
and potatoes, but higher prices for meats and
rice: lower for syrups and petroleum, with no
change for sugar, tea, coffee and indigo but
higher for talow and olive oil; higher for cot
ton, yarns, wool, silk and hemp, with no change
for fax and jute and higher for plg-ron, bars,
rails, coal. copper, tin and lead. but unchanged
for saltpetre. Nearly all articles quoted, 1t will
be seen are Of food or raw materials OF in
dustry.
American prices show very slight advapce
IN all breadstuffs taken together and also in all
meats a moderate advance incident to the sea-
son In dairy, garden and orchard products and
slight decline In the class comprising sugar and
molasses. tea, coffee, fish, condiments, liquors
and tobacco. There is a little Increase In the
clothing class as whole embracing over one
hundred quotations, Notwithstanding slight de-
cline In wool and wooen goods, for cotton and
cotton goods, silk and silk goods, rubber and
rubber goods and leather are higher though
hides and shoes are slightly lower than In jan
