DRINKING TEA ,
What Was Seen in a Wall
Street Basement.
A Tea-Taster Sampling Specimens ol
n New Importatlon-Tho Method
of the Tea Trade In This City.
Now York Times.
A certain front room on the ground
floor of a Wall slreot building pre
sents a most peculiar appcarat.co for a
Wall street ofHco. Near the center
stands a round table ; on it are n. num
ber of small porcolian cups ; close at
hand ia a burnished urn emitting
wreathing cloudlets of steam. An
elderly gentleman , with a patriarchal
white beard , is seated at the t.iblo ,
and behind him stands several persons
apparently staid business men. An
attend.int approaches with a number
of tin canisters , from one of which he
Ukea a Bin.ill quantity of tea , and
after weighing it in a diminutive pair
of scales standing in the center
of the table places it in one of the
cups. Using a sop.iralo canister each
lime , Hits operation is continued
until each cup on the tiblo has been
upplied , The altcndnnl 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
lakes up Iho cup of tea nearest at
hand. Thoao surrounding him ap
prouch nearer. The elderly gentle
man holds the steaming infu
fllon for so mo instants under
his extended nostrils , a1
if enjoying the delicious aroma exhal
ed , and then , after a moment's pause ,
with much deliberation , places the
cup to his lips. Monstrous incon
gruity ! Here is an elderly gontlomai
< ] uitlly having a tea parly in Wai
street during the busiest hours , and
hero are a number of business men
who have seemingly nothing better to
do than to watch the elderly gentle
man's procacding . About them on
all sides are bankers' mid brokers
ofliccs and commercial institutions of
all kinds. In the street Iho tide of
business eddies and surges with fever
ish restlessness. UuHi'nesn men are
passing back t and forth with hasty
stops , clerks and messengers and pur
lers are rushing lo and fro as if their
fortunes and those of thei employers
depended on their speed ; in" the oilices
all is active bustle and like ; the very
idlers'secm imbued with a spirit of
restlessness , with a desire lo bestir
themselves and bo doirg something ,
And yet Ihe elderly gentleman contin
ues to sip each of the many cups of
tea before him with a most provoking
air of coolness and deliberation , while
Ihoso around him look on with Iho
utmost interest , inr.inUuning at Ihe
same lime a deferential silence.
Such was t o scone which , one
.afternoon drjrimg the pasl week , at
tracted a kjiot of cilrious lookers on
in front Of au oflico in the lower part
of WuP. street. To a person glancing
aroup'j wjth a vio\v to making further
-obae rvations , a clew to the meaning of
thf , Bcono was to be obtained from the
Jfjiall sign near the door , bearing the
"inscription :
BUOWN , SMITH & Co. ,
TEA UUOKEKH.
For this ia a ten broker's oflice , the
elderly gentleman at the table is n
toa-tastcr ; thoao nround
im are tea dealers. Entering the
oflico , u clearer idea may bo obtained
o the appcaranco it prcaontu. A
largo , somewhat baro-lookini ; i jart-
mont ; a number of shelves along the
walls , like UIOBO to bo soon in u drug
gist's shop , upon which nro ranged
row afier row of small tin canisters
containing samples of tea ; hero and
there a few prints of scenqs from the
llo > xory land , looking dull and feeble ,
as if exhausted in the vain effort to
shi d an oriental glow over anything
in such a hopelessly matter-of-fAct
locality as Wall street ; in a ucrirfir a
jargo office desk ; near the center of
the room the burnished urn and the
circular table with its tiny cups and
diminutive scales such is the ortho
dox tea-broker's oflico. The un-
papered walls are hard-fmUhod ; the
carpotlcsB floor is oak-stained ; thorp is
no furniture or material of any kind
that is calculated to encourage or to
gather dust. Of oilicca of this kind
there are about two dozen in Mow
York , that representing the number
of tea-brakcra , largo and small , in the
city. They are chiefly situated in the
neighborhood of Wall , Front and
Water streets
Drawing nearer to the table , whpro
the attendant is engaged in preparing
a second sot of samples for the tea-
taster , n clear insight may bn gained
as to the manner in which the opera
tion of tea-tasting is conducted. Thu
attendant takes a small quantity of tea
fiom the canister , and jilaoua as much
of it in the I'iminutivo scales in the
center of the table as will balinco u
silver half-dime. Ho then drops the
tun into ono of the ctipivliicli ant
nuulo of fmo porculniu and hold nboul
half a gill. Thu muni-loa to bu tasted
having been dtapn'ud of in the vutluus
cups , ho tills the latter with boiling
water from the urn. The loa-tasior
then holds each of ( ho cups in turn
beneath his nostrils to catch the aroinu
exhaled , which is of great assist nice
in enabling him to doturmino the qual
ity. When the tea Iwi sulliciuntly
cooled to bo not much than lukewarm ,
ha proceeds to test it by tasting it
This operation is conducted with much
solemnity and deliberation , the tin-
taster closing his eyes as if t.j shut
himself out from the world , and iiu
sisting on the strictest silence being
maintained by thosa around him as
long as the test is in progression , Ho
only takes a tow sips from each cup ,
but sometimes he applies himself a
Hocoiul , H third , and even a fourth time
ntho > uf > implo. Tli1 , seats having
been made , the tea-taster renders a de
cision aa to'tho quality of the different
teas ho has samplnd , and the values
at which they should be rated in the
market , liy many it may bo thought
that the matter ol deciding as to thn
quality of different kinds of tea must
depend largely upon individual ideas
and taste. As far as the professional
tea-taster is concerned , this is a popu
lar delusion. Tea tasting , in a pro
fessional sense is very decidedly u
trade in itself , and , like most other
trades , hao to bo learned by dint of
application and experience That it
is not merely u question oi individual
tatto is demonstrated by the fact that
when , as is often the case , a certain
set of samples ia submitted to several
I !
toa-tastcrs , noting independently o
each other , the various opinions ron
dorcd M to quality ana value nr
almost identical. So delicate tire Ih
perceptions of the ten-taster that h
quickly nnd accurately grade * th
different samples submitted to him
reoognizind the most minute grada
lions nnd in many instances pronounc
ing the part of thn country in whic ]
a certain tea was grown. In th
same waytho judgment of the tea
tasters purchasing the tea in China
for the importers , as a general rule
coincides with that of the tea-tasters
hero.
hero.Tho tea trade in this city is dividet
into four distinct branched--tho im
porter , the broker , the jobber and the
retailor. The wholesale price of lea
ranges from 10 to 70 cents per pound
The importer's profit is a moderate
but remunerative one , the largest percentage
contago of profit , from -10 to 05 par
cent , falling to the retailer. When a
consignment of tea is received by the
importer , samples of thocon.tigmnont ,
which often consists of different kinds
of tea , are sent to the broker , who
disposes of it to the largo retailers or
to the jobbers , who in turn sell in
Irssur ( jiMiititits to the smaller retail-
ots. The broker receives 1 per conl
commission on all sales ell'eoted by
him. The tea taster acts in the in
terests of the broker , to nhoso advan
tage it is to have a correct estimate ol
the quality and value of the tea ho is
handling , in order to satisfy and re
tain his customers. There are bul
few professional tea tasters in this
city. Altogether they do not num
ber more than ihirty or thirty-fivo al
most. They are generally men ol
long experience in the tea trade , and
many of them have acted as buyers in
China for largo importers here. The
occupation of u ton-taster can scarcely
bo termed a healthful one. The con
stant absorption of tea superinduces a
nervous , excitable condition , and oc
casionally loads to nervous diseases
and attacks of insomnia. The injury
sustained by constant tea sampling
differs in individuals , but is uioro or
loss marked in all. The calling in pe
cuniarily a very profitable one.
The party as'emblcd in Brown ,
Smith & Co , 'a oflico consists of several
jobberu and two or three largo retail-
jrs , who have como to witness the
mmpliiig of a consignment tea'which
s to ] * " disposed of on the following
lay ol notion. After the tea-taster
ins re > lerod Ins decision .respecting
, ho di--rcnt samples before him , and
ho UK mbcra of the party have duly
titan note thereof for their guidance
vhen buying the stoek under the uuc-
ionoer's hammer , the conversati in
urns to the mi inner of tea auctions
hat have been held of Into. In this
ionnection it may bo stated that tin ro
uivo been more tea auctions within
ho past six months than have taken
) luco within the six years preceding
hat time. Before the war tea auc-
fens were of common occurrence , but
if lute years the custom had almost
lied out , only to bo revived very
econtly , owing to a temporary do-
iressiou in the trade. When a con-
ignmenl of tea is to bo sold at auc-
ion , samples of it are sent to the
irokor , at whose oflico they are tested
y the intending purchasers , either
lersonally or through a professional
oi-tnatur. On these occasions the
irokor receiovcs J per cent comrnis-
ion on the sale.
Presently the attention of those in
irown , Smith & CO.'B oflico is again
Unvoted to the tea-taster , who is
aiiiplini : some specimens of tea of
Imuricnn'qrowth. Having ; tooted of
ho different aups before him , he pro-
oeds to deliver an opinion far from
iiilogutic of the loaf of native growth.
L'ho Bubjifct of tea growing in this
ouutry has at various periods occu-
lied much attention among those on-
; a ed in the tea trade , bul all attempts
o produce the plant on native neil
uivo so far resulted in very indillor-
nt success. Some years ago an uti-
ucccasful attempt was made to grow
ea in Pennsylvania , and later the Lo
) uc plantation was started in Florida ,
, nd leaf was produced of a flavor
vhich can be much surpassed , at ii
ewer costby importation. With regard
0 the popular belief that the very
incat teas are retained by the Chi-
lose themselves , and that it is almost
mpoBsiblo to procure certain choice
) rands , these engaged in the trade
idiculo the idea , and atato that there
s no description of the loaf that islet
lot obtain.ible in China in return for
nonoy. Before the war there was
1 line of clippers engage i in
ho tea trade running to
his port , and the 'voyage
rom China was althat time a matter
if from 00 to 140 days. Starting
isually about the sumo time , the ri-
'alry ' between the ships as to speed
van intense , and old salts and votor.ui
ea traders Htill delight in recounting
ho long races which were then wont
> o take place. The captain and the
srew of the shin which first entered
, ho bay were alwayn curtain to receive
from the owners a liberal largest * to
ncroaco the mnriiKr'H feeling of joy
it the triumph of bin ship , and the
'ortunixtu owni r in turn Were able to
ru.ilizn a haiidaome profit on the cargo
ivti'ch pcsHosod the adv.intujje of b .
uj ; the first in the murker. Nown-
1 iyi , Imwiivi'r , the shippers rnijugod
u the tea tr.ido have disappeared , and
lo.irly all the tea imported into this
: ountiy o'iiies in Engliah bottoms
lironuh the Suez cnnul. A much
imullor quantity also finds its way
.hither on the Pacific- mail steamers
, o Sun Francisco , nnd thence by rail
n-erlund. The iirat Bhipmont of tea
n this country passing throuirh the
Suez canal came on bo.ird the English
ihip Qlonartnoy , in July 1 , 1870.
Upon the subject of the taxation of
tea opinion among those engaged in
ho trade is almost unanimous , and is
to the { -fleet that the abolition of the
tax was a mistake. In the early part
) { the war the tar upon t a was 25
per cent , ad valorem ; later it was re-
luced to 15 per cent. During Grant's
second administration , in July , 1872 ,
the tax upon tea was removed alto
gether. This , it is claimed , is proved
to have boon an ill-advised measure ,
as the tax was one of the simplest and
moat easily collectible to be imagined ,
and itfl removal has not resulted in
any appreciable benefit or lessoning of
cost to the consumer. It is further
stated that the tax had the oll'ect of
keeping out certain trashy grades of
tea which are , now moro largely im
ported than waa formerly the case.
The immense revenue to the govern
ment to bo derived from this source
by taxation will bo readily perceived

THE IOWA BUTTER BUSINESS. '
A Series of Rules and Iluuolutlonu
Designed to Restrict tlio Producers
to n Substantial Basis.
Every ( 'Hurt is being made in Iowa
to elevate the standard of butter , and
to got the dairymen , unuumiall inter
ested in helping the movement along.
It is well known that if a httlo pool
Iowa butter reaches eastern coiismn-
mers , no mailer how litlle it may be ,
there will be such a howl over it as to
e st a "lower prico" reduction on the
.rood butler , and in thai way much
money would actually be lost to Iowa
producers , to which they would bo en
titled and \yould receive if all the but
ter shipped from the State if first-class.
There are perhaps exceptions to the
rule of ' 'lower prices on all , if any is
[ ioor , " formany of Iowa's butter m k-
jis have won such a reputation for
lionest goods , that no niatlor what
other producer ' goods bring , theirs
will command the highest price. To
the end that the best butter possible
may bo made , the dairymen aio
coming to "lirst principles , " a > d
working up in their efforts to muko
"thebeitin the world. " The follow-
tig rules , recently adopted by a mi-cl
og of lown dairymen , are of interest
.o those engaged in the business gen-
> rally , as well as others indirectly in-
crested :

Q UIN1NB CORNEItED.
A liondon Syndicate Oobbles\Up Al
the Peruvian Bark-How tbo
Boom 4lu Price Affects the
Philadelphia Man
ufacturers. '
Philadelphia Hccord. ' "
Everybody uses quinine nowadays ,
from the chattering victim of ague tc
the fever-stricken patient -whom the
doctor is treating for typhus , ami
tli6ri-foro everybody wants lo know
wliat has sent the price of Iho drug U [ :
like Iho incrciiry In midsummer. The
trouble is al London , where there it
an .immense . corner in Peruvian b.irk ,
nnd for Ihe firal time in Iho history ol
the qiiimno trade it has become the
property of speculators. Late last
Ufcombnr a syndicate was formed at
Iho English metropolis to buy up all
the Poiuvian bark in the market and
to force the price up. 'I ho managers
of the syndicate hold about 12.00C
bales , and at ones purchased 15.00C
moro- all that was then in London-
together with a large quantity "lo ar
rive. " The piicoot bark at once went
up about 40 per cent and quinim
jumped from % ! 80 to § 2.50 an ounce.
In u short time the operators had 01 :
hand 40,000 bales of b.irk , and ii - pres
out are holding slock to the amount ol
less than 00,000 bales - about two *
thirds of the cnlire stock in all tin
markets.
The result has been tlmk Ihe uncer
tainty us to Iho future of the quinine
markel hasprjduced a quinine specu
lating fever , and large operations ari
being carried on in this cily and in
Now York. The reports , however ,
that 100,000 ounces have been placed
in Philadelphia is news to the quinine
manufacturers hero. Mr. Weight-
mao , of Powers & Weightman , by fui
the largest manufaoturers-of the drug
in the world , says that ho does not
credit such a statement. The rcgulai
price of qiiinino now isabout $2.30 tin
ounce much less than the London
syndicate paid in proportion for some
of Iho bark which il is now holding.
Mr. We-ighlman says that the roauli
of the corner has been to very mater
ially decrease the demand , and that
jobbers and middlemen are refusing
to replenish their stock at present
prices , and are waiting for a decline.
The consummers are also cconomi
zing , and unless the London syn
dicate can hold out for an
indefinite period the present aupply
will be made to last until the coinei
is broken. The expectation of the
mamigeiB of the corner and of those
holding long contracts , that the pres
ent overflow of the Mississippi muy in-
c.easo the demand and thus force Ihe
[ jtico up , is an after-thought. Thu
ifTcct upon Ihe factories in this city
lias not yet been serious nor is it
likely to bu. The establishments are
still busy , and all the stock on hand
lias not bueu worked oil' . Tho.corner
Is likely to stimulate shipments of
bark from South America , and the
manufacturers , an well as the short
interest among the speculators , are
waiting with some anxiety for arrivals
"rom that suction. As the bark can
bo gathered at any season , there is
no such thing as wailing for a new
crop.
The Fremont Claims.
iVaahlngton Special to tbo Cincinnati Commercial
It was st.itod in these dispatches on
; ho 4th hist. , that , General Fremont
uid liled a petition in the Senate
: laiming to be the owner of Alcatraz
[ aland , and now held and occupied by
: ho linked States as Government
iroDOfi . To-duy Mrs. Jessie Botiton
Fremont filed her petition in the Senate -
ate to bo restored to telve acres of
and which is now within the city of
S.in Francisco , and known an the
Point San Jose reservation. Thesa
; welvo acres tire estimated by citizenn
of Sin Francisco now hero to be
worth probably § 1,000,000.
As Ulrs. Fremont states her case ,
she would stem to unquestionably be
: ho owner of the property , und that
: lo Government must surrender the
lands to or pay her their value in
money. In the Scnato , on two occa
sions , committees have made reports
favorable to this class of claim and in
: ho House on Juno 10 , 1878 , General
Hutlor , from the Judiciaiy Oommiltee ,
inado a similar report. But the War
Department holds possession never
theless , and notwithstanding Ihe dis
closures in Iho record of somechtirac -
: eristio examples of Stanton's forcible
entry proceedings in defiance of Iho
civil law , the Government presents a
colorable title , as its military officers
state the case.
Mrs. Fremont sots forth in her pe
tition thai 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 , us it docs , part of the water
front of San Francisco ; that when she
eft the premises , in 1801 , to join her
uisu.xnd , than in the service of the
United States , she rented the place to
Surveyor General Bonlo , and that in
1803 the United States government
"violently und illegally" took posses
lion of her hands , and used them for.
barracks , batteries , etc. , and that
the government bus hold possession
ever since.
