more protitablee to feed this curd to
fish, which are worth 10 cents pei

We are not aware of any specific ex

proposition, weD should be- inclined to
the opinion that the curd could not
be put to any morep profitable use than
feeding it ton the fish. OF course,
there should be- some care exercised
and very closeowatch kept to ascer.
tain whether this could be used as
sole diet, or whetherrthe' health of the
fish demanded something in addition.

Stagnation in the Ginseng Trade.

Cincinnati is great center for ginseng
and does an enormous export business.
The market for ginseng and other roots
is in n chaotic state, the result of ex-
traordinary conditions. A member of a
leading concern engaged in exporting the
root said today that the interference of
the Christian powers in China had cost
America the ginseng trade. For years
the Chinese have taken practically the
entire crop of ginseng, but last season
their purchases were fully two-thirds I'M
der the normal in consequence of the high
nrices demanded. and dealers found it
necessary TO carry over large stocks TO
this season. This years crop is now
ready to be sold but no market can be

chase until their holdings from last year
