THE STRIKE OF COOLIES IN SHANGHAL

Below will be found the facts and present aspect of affairs in connection with the strike of cargo lant coolies. The intimidation which has been brought to hear upon the working coolies by their disatfected brithren is sufficient to call for the immediate interference of the authorities, Up to the present the men on strike would appear to have been allowed unusual freedon in the exer- cise of their unlawful acts of coercion and vio. lence, but it is high time now that they were taught in respect the laws which have been laid down for the orderis, government of the Scale-

One somewhat curious fact is being brought out by the present crisis in Egypt. Itis interesting as going to show how much greater is the in- fluence exercised over prices in the stock markets by financial than by political troubles until the latter begin to bear their bitter fruit. The in the financial equilibrium which took place last upset January was followed by an immediate collapse in Egyptian and all other speculative securities, although, at the exact moment, that phase of the Eastern Question having relation to Egypt and its rulers was more than usually quiet for such a notoriously insomnolent subject.

To coincide today's quotations with those current during the gloomy days of the Paris panic is difficult, if not impossible. With the Khedive's authority set at defiance; with the of "Egypt for the Egyptians" passing almost unchallenged, in Cairo and Alexandrin; with Egyptian militarism riding rough-shod over the Chamber of Deputies and over intervention imminent, it is hard to see how and Turkish "Egypts," as the Stock Exchange loves to call them, can be as valuable as

The strike of the Shanghai Cargo Boat Com- pany's coulics still continues without any imune- diate signs of settlement. Yesterday morning, between sixty and seventy of the coolics on strike assembled on one of the jetties on the French bund, where a boat, chartered by the Cargo Boat Company was taking in tea. They threatened the inen, who in consequence, ceased work. In gang, the coolies then proceeded to the offices of the native cargo Host Co. (Yang tye) who had kindly placed some of their boats at the disposal of the foreign Company to assist them through their difficulty, and threatened the managers that if they continued to allow their boats to be used by the Cargo Boat Company, pressure would be brought to bear upon the Yang tye coolies, so that they would also strike. The managers, we hear, simply told them that their boats were fur public hire, and that they would continue to allow them to be used by all who would pay for them with t any distinction whatever. From the Yang Jetties on the English Hund and molested the lowdaly and coolies of one of the boats belonging to the Cargo Boat Company that had not joined in the strike. We understand that they went so far as to strike the lowlah and threatened per- sonal violence to the coolics. At this time, it was said, that one Earopean and three Chinese policemen were standing by as spectators. The coolics, in a body, then marched up the Bund to one of the jetties nearly opposite the offices of the Cargo-Boat Company. At this jesty there was a boat belonging to the Com- French mail steamer, which was expected to that was taking in silk for the out-going leave at noon for Woosing. For the time being. their molestations and threats caused the coolies working in the boat to cease operations, but shortly afterwards the company were enabled to send the silk on board the steamer, but this was not until she had left for Woosung. So far, the strike has only affected the interests of the Cargo Boat Co., who, with considerable difficulty have been able to execute their orders, but it is to be feared that unless the intimidation by the coolles on strike is immediately dealt with by the proper authorities, the entire shipment of cargo will have to be suspended, inasmuch as according to present appearances, the coolies belonging to the native Cargo Boat Co. will, by compulsion, fe forced to join the men now on strike.

Actually there is little that is wonderful in this anomalous condition of affairs. Stock Exchange prices are not regulated so much by intrinsic worth as by the varying currents of Speculation and the Money Market.
