THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. VIEW OF A BUSINESS STREET. BUSINESS IN COREA The Stores of the Queerest Capital of the World. WINTER SAFE DEPOSITS FOR MONEY The Free Lunch Counters and a Big Book Store. af — BAZAARS ees (Copyrighted, 1805, by Frank G. Carpenter.) T Hi CITY OF SEOUL | is now filled with | Japanese troops, and Japanese merchants | are preparing to open stores and go into business. ‘he whole country ts to be re- organized on a mod- ern basis. Other i merchants will soon come in, and the business methods of the Coreans will be | changed. They are); the qneerest business men of the world, and their shops and stores are like nothing | else on the face of the globe. I spent many days in going through them last summer, | and in chatting with the merchants. They | are the gaudiest merchants on the planet. They keep their horsehair hats on when in their stores, and instead of standing up behind the counters, they squat cross-leg- ed on the floor and smoke long pipes Wiile they talk to you about trade and offer you goods. Often they squat outside their stores, and both stores and merchants are so unlike anything in America that it fs hard to describe them. The stores are located on the three main business streets of the city. ‘hese are dirt roads about as wide as Pennsylvania avenue in Washing- ton. ‘They are lined with mud huts thatched with straw, to the front of which there 1s often a framework or booth-like awning, which juts out over the street, and in which, on boards, are spread out the goods they have for sale. Here and there little tents have been built up in the streets, and there are hundreds of big- hatted, white-gowned squatters, who have planked themselves down on the road, with their goods spread out before them, and who soberly smoke as they wait for their customers. ‘There are hundreds of boys who part their hair in the middle, and who look like girls in their long gowns, going about peddling candy and chestnuts. They have a kind of a box which is swung from their shoulders, and which rests on their chests, anc the candy peddlers carry scis- | sors and cut eff their long strings of taffy into such sticks as you want. These boy yell out that they have taffy for sale. They are shrewd little fellows, and they ply their business in all parts of the city. The Corean Bazaars. Seoul is, you know, a city of 300,000 peo- ple, and it covers about three square miles. Right in the center of the city there ts a point where the three business streets come together, and at this point there is a temple about as big as a good-sized cowshed, which holds the great bell, or town clock, of the capital. This bell rings the opening and clesing of the Corean day, and its knell sounds the beginning and ending of the day’s work and business. It is rung just at dusk, and at this time the great gates of the city are closed. The stores are sup- posed to shut up, and the men to go into their houses and give the women a chance to take moonlight walks unmolested. About i A Corean ts bell are the biggest business establis ments of Seoul. They are in large one and two-story buildings, which look a good deal like granaries and whic cut up into little bits of closets opening out upon halls. Each of these buildings devoted to the selling of one kind of goods, and the lead- ing merchants who deai in them have each one of these closets, and they on cushions just outside of them, to bring out their goods when the customers come. Glass is hardly known in Corea, and there are no windows, and the closet is as dark as a pocket. There is no display of goods, and you ask for what you want and the merchant brings it out. One of the buildings will have nothing but cottons, and there may be fifty merchants each owning one of the closet-like stores within It. An- other building will contain nothing but silk, and others will be devoted to the selling of hats and paper. The merchants of different classes have guilds, and | they fix the prices. Every yard of sflk and every sheet of paper sold in Seoul has to | pass through the guild and pay ts taxes be- fore it can be sold. There are six great | guilds, and each of these guilds pays a | good round sum to the government for the | controlling of its branch of trade. Ifa retail dealer is found with a piece of goods which | does not hear the stamp of the guild the guild can fine and punish him without ref- | erence to any other tribunal, and all of the petty traders throughout through the guilds. h oul have to buy The six greatest guilds @re those which contro! the trade in Chi- nese silk, cotton goods, hemp cloth, grass eloth, Corean silk and paper, and it will be sing to know that the whole of Core: \ l up Into unions, and that the por ters have thefr trades unions, and there are Peddlers’ unions and all sorts of working | organizations. A Look Into a Corean Store. The average Corean store 1s not much Meger than a dry goods box, artd about | at bell there are courts surrounded | stores, which open out on a ledge h about three fect wide, upon which | the merchants sit. turn around in one of these stores, and if you would take @ plano packing box and line it with shelves and run a board along in front of it about two feet from the A merchant could hardly | | | ladies are made of pink, | ese. They like intoxicating lquors, ground you would have a Corean store. The chief business is in cloth, as the Co- reans probably spend more on clothes in proportion to their income than ary other people in the world, and the cotton trade is a big one. The common people all wear cotton, and I was told that titey like the American goods much better than the English, for the reason that they are bet- ter made, and that they are of finer ma- terial. The Corean silk is fairly good, and they use a good deal of Chinese silk. I remember one fur store which I visited. It was not more than five feet square, but it was full of costly fur garments, which the richer of these people wear in the winter. Among the curious articles which it had for sale were frameworks of wicker, which these people wear during the sun mer inside their garments to keep them away from their persons and allow a thor- ough circulation of the air. There were wicker shirts and wicker cuffs and wicker frames ‘which fit out over the stomach. all so light that the weight of them would be imperceptible and as fine in their work- manship as a Panama hat. ‘The Biggext Book Store in Seoul. I spent some time in going among the book stores and picture shops, and I found the merchants by no means anxious to sell, especially when I had Gen. Pak, my interpreter, with me. I was warned to pay for everything on the spot, and I | found that the nobility of Seoul and the high officials, with whom I was supposed to be connected, had a habit of taking what they pleased and never coming back to pay for it. I really believe this was the way they looked upon me until I offered them the money. They always asked three times as much as they expected to take, and everything is done by dickering. I bought for about fifty cei a_ book which was first offered to me for $3, andj this was at the biggest book store in Seoul. ‘The books are all laid flat on the floor. They have flexible backs, and are more like magazines than books. Many of them look like blank books and account books until you open them, and you find them filled with Chinese or Corean characters. The merchant keeps his accounts with a paint brush, the clerks keep their hats on A Crockery Merchant. and the average clerk is satisfied if he receives his clothes and food for his fam- ily and himself. I bought a Corean First Reader, and later on I visited a Corean printing establishment. There were no movable types, and the pages which were to be printed were engraved on boards. The printer laid one of these boards down on two blocks of wood, then mixed some lampblack and water on a flat plece of marvle and smeared this over the page. He then laid a proof sheet on it and pound- ed it down Into the engraved type, and this constituted the printing. One of the King’s Perquisites. The king gets a big income out cf Corean paper. It is all mace by hand, and it brings about five cents a sheet, each sheet containing about as much paper, I judge as eight pages of this newspaper. I went through a paper factory, which is just out- side of Seoul, along the banks of a stream. Scme paper is made of bark reduced to pulp, and all the old paper is worked over. It is ground up into a sort of a mush, and when it is all in bits, a bamboo frame is thrust into the mush, and that which sticks to the frame makes a sheet of pa- Fer. It is bleached in the sun, and is as strong as cloth. Now, the king gets his percentage out of the first sale, and he makes a big lot of money out of his ex- amination papers. All offices are supposed to be awarded by civil service examina- tions, and at certain times of the year the students, by the thousand, come from all parts of the country, each carrying two or three of these sheets of paper. They are admitted into one part of the palace grounds, and there squat down under um- brellas which they bring with them, and write essays in poetry. They have to wear a certain kind of a cap,known as a scholar's cap, at this time, and each essay cov- ers a sheet of this paper. It must have just so many verses and just so many lines to each verse, and the students don’t know what they are going to write about until they get inside the grounds. The subject is hoisted up on a pole f outside of a pen in which the king and the judges sit. After the writing is through, each student folds up his essay in a peculiar way and throws it over the fence of the pen. It is carried up to the king and is spread out on top of a pile of papers which grows to large pro- portions before the examination is through. yy a few pass at these examinations, and the rejected papers are all sold by the king or by his official of houses in Seoul which are carpeted these old examination papers. rain-coat made of oiled paper which ha been originally used by a Corean studer for one of these essays, and I trotted about through the streets with a lot of Confucian dogzerel on my back. The paper stores are found in different parts of the capital, and they do a big business. This paper takes the place of glass, and it forms the win- dow coverings of Corea. The Shoe Storen. Ore of the largest of the guild halls about the great bell Is devoted to the selling of shoes. These are of many varieties, and some are quite expensive. Those for the blue and red leather, while the men usually wear black slippers with soles of white wood about an inch thick. The common people wear straw shoes, and*these are made by the bushel, and are carrie: by porters all over the country. I tock a picture of one with about 500 pairs on a pack on his back, and I yuatting down on the road e with these shoes before them. They cost about one cent per pair, J are the cheapest article of clothing Cor Most things are extravagantly dear. al Pak showed me hats which h I wore a | cost $15 apiece, and he bought a new gown order that he might go about with me in style which cost him $10. Free Lunch Counters. Think of free lunch counters in Corea! Well, they have them in all parts of the coustry, and there is many a dirty little den in Seoul outside of which a clay oven fs continually cooking free soup, and where you can get a bit of dried fish or a raw turnip without charge between drinks. |The Coreans are less temperate than the | Chinese, and I think, also, than the Japan- and I met many reeling through the streets, and now and then saw ore asleep by the roadside, dressed in his long white. gown and looking for all the world like a corpse in a shroud. I saw a number of fights and and there are hundreds | General Greathouse—rather too delightedly, I thought—once said to me: “Why, these people are just like our peo- ple at home. They drink and they fight and they go upon sprees. They have many other things in common with us, and they are decidedly human.” There are many saloons, and the sign of these is a basket which is hung on a pole above the door and which is of the kind through which the beer and other liquors are strained when they are made. This basket is usually about eighteen inches long and eight inches in diameter, and you see them all over Corea. The Drug Stores. The drug stores do not sell liquors, and they have very few fluids of any ,kind. Their medicines consist of powders and herbs, and patent medicines are as yet un- known in Corea. I believe a great big busi- ness could be done in both Corea and China by taking patent medicines out there and advertising them as wonderful cure-ails, using the “before and after taking” signs, especially. The field is a virgin one, and it ought to be worked. I went into one drug store jn Seoul, which was walled with cabi- nets containing drawers about six inches square filled with all kinds of nauseous herbs. “There were bags of medicine hang- ing from the-roof, and the druggist was squatting on the floor with his hat on, mak- ing more medicine. Eoth the Chinese and the Corgans believe in big doses. They den't think a powder is worth anything unless it is big enough for a horse, and their great cure-all is ginseng. This we consider a weed in America, but it is one of the most valuable products of Corea, and the king has the monopoly of it. fle has great farms which are watched at night by men who sit on platforms which have been built up in them to keep the peopl from stealing the crop. The roots are the Corean giuseng. The weed is Pp the lock te it weighs several pounds. | jmeney is kept in this box, and is about on the backs of coolies or The Corenn Safe Deposit.
