& 168 DHINKING TEA. What Was Seen Street Basement. A Tea-Taster Sampling Specimens of a New Importation—The Method of the Tea Trade in This City. Neow York Times. A certain front room on the ground floor of a Wall street building pre sents a most peculiar appearance for a Wall street office. Near the center stands a round table; on it are A num ber of small porcelian cups; close at band is a burnished urn emitting wreathing cloudlets of steam. An olderly gentleman, with a patriarchal white beard, is seated at the table, and behind him stands several persons apparently staid business mon. An attendant approaches with a nvmber of tin canisters, from one of which he takes a small quantity of tea, and after weighing 1t in a diminutiv of ecales standing in the center of the table places 1t in one of the cups. Using a separato canister each time, this operation is contiuued until each cup on the tible has been supplied. The attendant next pro- ceeds to fill the cups with boiling water from the urn This having been accomplished, the elderly gen- tleman draws closer to the table and takes up the cup of tea nearest at hand. Those surrounding him ap- proach nearer. The elderly gentlo man holds the steaming infu- sion for some instants undoer his extended nostrils, a3 if enjoying the delicious aroma exhal- ed, and then, after a moment’s pauso, with much deliberation, places the cup to lis lips, Monstrous incon- gruity! Heore is an elderly gentleman quictly having a tea party in Wall street during the busiest hours, and here are a number of business men who have seemingly nothing bettar to do than to watch the elderly gentle- man’s proceedings. About them on all sides are bankers’ and brokers’ offices and commercial institutions of all kinds. In the street the tide of business oddies and surges with fever- ish restlessness. Business men are passing back and forth with hasty steps, clerks and messengers and por- ters are rushing to and fro as if their fortunes aud those of their employers depended on their speed; in the officos all is active bustle and like; the very idlors seem imbued with a spiric of restlcssness, with a desire to bestir themselves and be doirg something. And yet the elderly gentleman contin- in a Wall toa-tasters, acting independently of each other, the various opinions ren- dered as to quality and value are almost identical. 8o delicate are the perceptions of the tea-taster that he quickly and accarately grades the different samples submitted to him, reeognizind the most minute grada- tions and in many instances pronounc- ing the part of the country in which a certain tea was grown. In the same way,the judgment of the tea asters purchasing the tea in China for the importers, as a general rule, coincides with that of the tea-tasters here. The tea trade in this city is divided into four distinct branches- -the im- porter, the broker, the jobber and the retailer. The wholesale price of tea ranges from 10 to 70 cents per pound The importer's profit is a moderate but remunerative one, the lar per: centage of profit, from 40 to 65 per cent, falling to the retailer. When a consignment of tea is received by the importer, samples of the consignment, which of congists of different kinds of ten, are sent to the broker, who disposes of it to the large retai to the jobbers, who in t lesser quantitics to the emaller rotail ots, The broker receives 1 per cent commission on all sales effeoted by him. The tea taster acts in the in- terests of the broker, to whose advan- tago it is to have a correct estimate of the quality and value of the tea he is handling, in order to satisfy and re- tain his customers. There are but fow professional tea tasters in this city. Altogether they do not num- bor more than :hirty or thirty-five at most. Thoy are generally men of long experionce in the tea trade, and many of them have acted as buyers in China for large importers here. The occupation of a tea-taster can scarcely be termed a healthful one. The con- stant absorption of tea superinduces a nervous, excitable condition, and oc- casionally leads to nervous diseases and attacks of insomnia, The injury sustained by constant tea sampling differs in individuals, but is more or loss marked in all. The calling is pe- cuniarily a very profitable one, The party as-embled in Brown, Smith & Co.'s office consists of several jobbers and two or three largo rotail- ors, who have come to witness the sampl.g of & consignment tea which rs or I in is to 1+ disposed of on the following day o' uction. After the tea-taster has re lered his decision respecting the di'/ -rent samples before him, ano the 1. mbera of the party have duly taken note thereof for their guidance when buying the stock under the auc- tioneer's hammer, the conversatim ues to sip each of the many cups of | burns to the number of “tea auctions tea before him with a most provoking | that have been held of late.

The un- papered walls are hard-finished; the carpetless floor is oak-stained; there 18 no furniture or material of any kind that is calculated to encourage or to gather dust. Of offices of this kind there are about two dozen in New York, that representing the number of tea-brekers, large and small, in the ci They are chiefly situated in the neighborhood of Wall, Front and Water streots Drawing nearer to the table, where the attendant is engaged in preparing a second set of samples for the tea- taster, & clear insight may be gained as to the manner in which the opera- tion of tea-tasting is conducted. The attendant takes a small quantity of tea from the canister, and places as much of it in the Jiminutive scales in the center of the table as will balance a silver half-dime, Ho then drops the tea into one of the cups, which aro made of fine porcalain and hold about haif a gill. The samples to be tasted having been dispesed of in the various | cups, ho fills the latter with boiling water from the urn. Thoe teat then holds each of the cups in turn beneath his nostrils to cateh the aroma exhaled, whichis of great assistince in enabling him to determine the qual- ity. When the tea has sufficiently cooled to be not much than lukewarm, he proceeds to test it by tasting it ‘This operation isconducted with much solemnity und deliberation, the tea- taster closing his eyes as if to shut imself out from the world, and in- sisting on the strictest silence being maintained by thoss around him as long as the test i in progression. He only takes a tew sips from each cup, but sometimes he applies himself a second, » third, and even a fourth time rothe . ue wmple, I'n. sests having been made, the tea taster renders a de- cision as to the quality of the different teas he has sampled, and the values at which they should be rated in the market. By many it may be thought that the matter of deciding as to the uality of different kinds of tea must pend largely upon indiviaual ideas and taste. As far as the professional tea-taster is concerned, this is a popu- lar delusion. Tea tasting, ina pro- fessional sense is very decidedly a trade in itself, and, like wost other trades, has to be learned by dint of pied much attention among those en- gaged in the tea trade, but all attempts to produce the plant on ive soil have 80 far resulted in very indifter ent success. Some years ago an un- successful attempt was made to grow ten in Pennsylvania, and later the Le Duc plantation was started in Florida, and ieaf was produced of a flavor which can be much surpassed, at a lower cost, by importation. With regard to the popular belief that the very finest teas are retained by the Chi- nese themselves, and that it is almost impossible to procure certain choice brands, those cngaged in the trado ridicule the idea, and state that there is no description of the leaf that is not obtainable in China in return for money. B.fore the war there was a line of clippers engaged in the tea trade runming to this ort, and the voyage from China was at that time a matter of from 90 to 140 days. Btarting usually about thesame time, the ri- valry between the ships as to speed was intense, and old salts and veteran tea traders still delight in recounting the long races which were then wont to take place, Tho captain and the crew of the ship which first entered tho bay were always corcain to recoive from the ownors a liberal largess to incroaso the marincr's feeling of joy at the triumph of his ship, id the fortunate owners in turn were able to realize a haudsome proficon the which pesscssed the advantage of b - ivg the first in the market. Nowa- days, howaver, the shippers engaged iu tho tea trade have disappeared, and nearly all the tea imporced into’ this country ¢mes in English bottoms through the Suez canal, A much amaller quantity also finds its way thither on the Pacific mail steamers to San Fraucisco, and thence by rail overland. The first shipment of tea to this country passing through the Suez canal came on board the English nhi{) Glenartney, in July 1, 1875. Tpon the subject of the taxation of tea opinion among those engaged in the trade is almost unanimous, and is to the effect that the abolition of the tax was a mistake. In the early part of the war the tax upon tea was 26 r ceat. ad valorem; later it was re- uced to 16 per cent. During Grant's second administration, in July, 1872, the tax u'Fm tea was removed alto- gether. This, it is claimed, is proved to have been an ill-advised measure, a8 the tax was oneof the simplest and most easily collectible to be imagined, and its removal has not resulted in any appreciable benefit or lessening of cost to the consumer. Itis further stated that the tax had the effect of Imcpmq out certain trashy grades of tea which are now more largely im- ’mrted than was formerly the case, application and experience That it [ The immense revenue to the govern- is not merely a question of individual { ment to be derived from this source taste is demonstrated by the fact that | by taxation will be readily perceived when, as is olgen theplu a certain | by noting the importation of tea into set of samples is submitted to several this jcountry during the past year I'HE OMABA aluY BEE: ' IDAY.

Any patron found selling milk from an unhealty cow, or from cows still foverish from calving, it be dropped and the case reported to the civii au- thorities. 11, Cream from milk showing careless and uncleanly mitking, or containing insects or dirt of any kind, will not be accepted ur. Milk should be kept out of vegeta- ble cellars, and its surroundings be kept free 1o all odors and impuri- ies. 1v. No tainted or frozen received. cream will be No collector wiil, in any case, take any cresm except what he himself skims from the can. VI. Any patron discovered tampering with cream in any fraudulent way will ne dropped, and subject to punish- ment by law. vIL Cream from milk standing in low temperature is thin und will not hold out, Such cream will not be taken unless proper reduction is made. The proper temperature for milk to stand in is from fifty 10 sixty degrees; and to make houest cream, milk should stand from twelve to twenty- four hours in summer, aud from twenty-four to thirty-six in the win- ter, boforo skimming VIIL Tco and snow are detrimental to to cream, and when used in milk vill not be taken, IX Two different milkings must not be put into the same can, nor must the milk or can be disturbed after the milk is set, X, The length of time milk must stand before skimming will depend upon the condition of the cream, which will in all cases be determined by the collec- tor, who must be judge of his own route, XI. It is distinetly understood by all that when the word inch is used as the equivalent of a pound *or hall pound of butter according to the size of can, and the creameries reserve the right to pay any patron for the num- ber of pounds his cream will make, XI11. Patrons are required to notify their creameries at once of any neglect of the collector, or any failure on their part to conform with the above rules. RESOLVED, That we heraby agree to refuse to deal with any patron’ dropped by any creamery for frudulent and dishonest practices, and for a persistent and wilful violation of the above rules A GIRL'S QUEER BRACELFT, How a Rascally Little Alli rator Clasp- cd Itself Upon & Fair, Round Arm, Savannah Nows.

The party are stopping at one of our hotels, and pro pose remaining here a couple of wecks, The fair damsel from Keystone State, unwilling to trust her amphibious pet to the rsk of tianspo:tation to her home, concluded to keep it in the lit- tle cage in her room until her depart- ure, when she could look after it her- self on the journey. While p*uying with it on Monday evening in her room she accider tally knocked the top off the cage, and the w:'l{y, diminusive monster escaping, made a jump aud lighted on her fair iuung arm and proceded to transfer tmsoif into a bracelet, as it were, emitting at the same time from his gaping mouth a hissing noise. The iuuug lady's frantie shriek’s soon rought to her assistance her friends, who were accupying the adjoining rooms, and the scaly saurian was final- ly secured, after many feminine ejac- lations, “‘ohs” and ‘‘ahs” and return- ) its “‘little bed’ in the cage. Q UININE CORNERED, A London Syndicate Gobbles\Up All the Peruvian Bark-How the Boom ju Price Affects the Philadelphia Man- ufacturers Welphia Record. Everybody uses quinine nowadays, from the chattering viotim of ague to the fever stricken patient whom the doctor is treating for typhus, and therefore everybody wants to know what has sent the price of the drug up like the mercury in midsummer. The trouble is at London, where there is an immense corner in Peruvian bark, and for the first time in the history of the quinine trade it has become the property of speculators, Late last \ber a syndicate was formed at the English metropolis to buy up all the Peruvian bark in the market anc the price up. The managers of the syndicate held about 12,000 bales, and at once purchased 15,000 more - all that then in London her with a large " The price of bark at once went p about 40 per cent and quinine jumped from $1 80 to $2.60 an ounce. Lu & short time the operators had on hand 40,000 bales of bark, aud at pres- eut are holding stock to the amount ot less than 60,000 bales - about two. thirds of the entire stock in all the markets. | The result has been thab the uncer- | oy years ago t tainty as to the fature of the quinine | neve markct has produced a quinine specu- | Iating fever, and large operations are being carried on in this city and in Now York. The reports, however, that 100,000 ounces have been placed in Philadelphia 18 news to the quinine manufacturers here. Mr. Weight- mag, of Powers & Weightman, by far the largest manufacturers of the drug in the world, says that he does not credit such a statement. The regular price of quinine now isabout $2.30 an ounce -much less than the Loudon syndicate paid in_proportion for some of the bark which it is now holding. Mr. Weightman says that the result of the corner has been to very mater- 1lly decrease the demand, and that jobvers and middlemen are refusing to replenish their stock at present ices, aud are waiting for a decline, 'he consummers are also economi zing, and unless the London syn- dicate can hold out for an indetinite period the present supply will be made to last until the coiner is broken. Tho expectation of the managers of the corner and of th holdiug long contracts, that the pi ent overflow of the Mississippi may in- c.ease the demand and thus force the price up, is after-thought. The effcet upon the factories in this city has not yet been serious mnor is it likely to be. The establishments are still busy, and all the stock on hand has not been worked off. The.corner is likely to stimulate shipments of bark from South America, and the manufacturers, as well as the short interest amoug the speculators, are waiting with some anxiety for arrivals from that section. As the bark can be gathered at any season, there is no such thing as waiting for a new crop. The Fremont Claims. ‘Washington Special to the Cincinnat: Commercial It was stated in these dispatches on the 4th iust., that. General Fremont had filed a petition in the Senate claiming to be the owner of Alcatraz Island, and now held and occupied by the niced States as Government proverty. To-day Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremount filed her petition in the S ate to be restored to twelve acres of land which i8 now within the city of San Fraucisco, and known as the Point San Jose reservation. Thess twelve acres are estimated by citizens of San Frauncisco now here to be worth probab'y $1,000,000. A8 Mrs. Fremont states her case, she would scem to unquestionably be the owner of the property, and that the Government must surrender the lands to or pay her their value in money. In the Senate, on two ocea- sions, committees have made reports favorable to this class of claim and in the House on June 10, 1878, General Butler, from the Judiciary Committee, made a similar report. But the War Department holds possession never- theless, and notwithstanding the dis- closures in the record of some charac- teristic examples of Stanton’s forcible entry proceedings in defiance of the il'law, the Government presents a colorable title, as its military officers state the case. Mrs. Fremoat sets forth in her pe- tition that she purchased the prop- erty in 1850, which was then known as Black Point, and on which she then resided, because of its great beauty and prospective great value, forming, as it does, part of the water front of San Francisco; that when she left the premises, in 1861, to join her husband, then in the service of the United States, she rented the place to Surveyor General Beale, and that in 1863 the Uunited States goverument “violently and illegally” took posscs sion of her hands, and used them for barracks. batteries, ete., and that rument has held possession the go over since.
