Mr. Wicking-Didn't they refuse to take delwery because it was not according to their orders? Where was the wood to come from?

Mr. Abrahamson—That is not so-the pro- ducers were at Sandakan. There has been a good deal said about the vendors to this Company having no right to make such a charge for the good will, and on the face of it it does appear 30, but when you look into the actual facts you will see that the vendors took $100,000 in fully paid-up shares, besides a lot moze fully and part-paid shares, and they now posicsi some $200,000 worth, out of the total of $450.000 paid up.

Mr. Wicking-We bought your business as A going concern, and the last year's acount sbews

•n loss al$30,000.

Mr. Abrahamson--I don't see it.

Mr Wicking quoted several items from last year's balance sheet, closing with the remark that $100,000 was modest for the good-will.

Mr. Abrahamson-But you didn't pay it, and there is no loss, according to last year's account.

The Chairman-Order.

Mr. Abrahamson-I am not going to argue." Mr. Wicking-You can't deny li—you can't. Mr. Francis questioned the accuracy of last year's

accounts,

The Chairman-You can't go into that now, Mr. Abrahamson-Before this Company was formed the business paid very good dividends for several years-13 and 15 per cent-on a very much smaller capital,

Mr. Wicking-Yes, on a small capital, but not when you made it a capital of $300,000 or $400,000.

Mr. Abrahamison-I can't take any notice of your remarks,

The Chairman again called Mr. Wicking to

order.

Mr. Abrahamson-I shall hail the Committee with very great satisfaction, and if you will elect some unprejudiced shareholders 1 think the result will be beneficial to both myself and the general agents, for then you will see that although we have been unfortunate we could not avoid it.

The amendment was then put, and carried by 14 to ten, and Mr. Francis, Mr. Wicking, and Mr. Fenwick were nominated to act as a Consulting Committes.

Mr. Francis proposed the adjournment of the meeting for a fortnight, which was agreed to, and after a vote of thanks to the Chairmann had been proposed by Mr. Wicking the proceedings terminated.

There is no other plant, not even the Jesuit'a bark, which furnishes quinine or the poppy, which yields opium, of which it can be truly said that it is worth its weight in gold, na is the gin- seng of Korea. The American product is pro- bably kentical in all respects, but it does not command the price. Even within the past year American ginseng root has fallen from $1.60 to about 60 cents a pound in Chinatown, but the Korean article is still a royal monopoly of the most valuable character. Almost every medicine used by the Chinese contains ginseng, which is ... variously spoken of as "pure spirit of the earth" and the "plant that gives immortality," In Chinese Tartary it is collcled with many precactions at the beginning of spring and the end of autumn, and even this product, though, less esteemed than the Korean, is estimated to' be worth three times its weight in silver. An early traveler records that the Emperor of China employed in one year 10.000 Tartars" in "pro- curing the root. From China it was formerly exported to Japan, where it was obtained by the

Dutch, who first introduced it into Europe.

Ginseng has as curious and historical a con- nection with the relations of the United States and China as the tea chests which the "painted Injuns" pitched into Baston harbor bad with the severance of the United States from Great Britain. The Manchurian ginseng was literally worth its eight in gold in the Chinese markets

century and a half ago, and the annual embassy from Seoul, in Korea, produced n golden harvest for the Korean merchants. The Dutch, merchants at Albany and throughout New England became aware, through the Indians, that the precious plant grew abundantly on the hills around Stock- bridge, to Massachusetts. The root was shipped in Dutch galliots down the Hudson, thence to Amsterdam and London, where cargoes were sold to the East India Company at a profit of 500 per cent. The American ginseng broke the toarket for a time, but the price rallied after a while, and since then a steady stream of ginseng has been exported to China from the Ohio.a-d Mississippi valleys, where it is found in limitless) quantities. It was Captain Shaw an American citizen, the first Consul of the United States to China, who shut out the British-taxed tea and opened up commercial relations with Chlua by declaring that "Americans must have tea and they seek the most lucrative market for their precious root ginseng."

THE GINSENG PLANT.

Proposals have been made in America to cultivate the ginseng plant, so largely used in Chinese medical practice, for exportation to the Middle Kingdom," In one sense there is an Inducement, for glaseng root at one time was worth $1,000 a pound in the market at Pekin and Canton. Ginseng is interesting in another respect; it is the basis of the Chinese elixir of life.

The form of the ginseng root probably contributes considerably to the Chinese nation that supernatural virtues are inherent in It. Fragments selected miscellaneously from a heap of the roots bear a singular resemblance to the human body and limbs, to the os-sacrum, the headless trunk and individual members. The Chinese name "ginseng". Is derived from this circumstance.
