The Bowery in those days resembled q
country road. 1t was unpaved and sandy
above Spring street, and was studded pretty
thickly with residences Of the gentry. These
had high stoops fronting the road, and were
embowerei in trees and shrubbery. Many
summer night have seen whole families
on the stoops enjoying the cool OF the even
ing, and children trundling hoops or playing
marbles on the sidewalk There was one
institution peculiar to the Bowery in those
days, or at least 1t attained greater perfec-
tion there than in other parts OF the city.
refer to the hot-corn venders.
These were exclusively colored women,
each dressed as neatly as though she had
come out of a bandbox, with q flaming
bandanna handkerchief on her head tied In
peak, West India fashion, the ends hang
ing down, and clean white and checked
apron. They sat on stools at the street
corners and noted places each with a pan
beside her, filed with hot corn on the ear,
and a small cup on each side, one containing
salt and the othsr butter. When a patron
approached, she handel him smoking ear
and the salt and butter; the latter he
gravely rubbed on the ear and ate as he
stood. The cry was musical and could b.
heard blocks away Hot corn, hot corn!
here's your lily white hot corn" they cried,
but an old woman who sold on the corner of
Hester and Bond streets, improved on this.
Her cry was:
Hot corn, hot cornl
Some for penny some for 2 cents
Corn cost money and fire expeuss.
Here's your lily white hot corn!
There were almost as many venders ON the
streets then as now, but more characteristic
and picturesque. Some bore trays contain
ing baked pears swimming in molasses,
which the purchaser took between his thumb
and finger and ate. The sand man was
verify in those days. All the par-rooms,
restaurants, and many Of the kitchens in the
city had sanded floors, and n,sn in long
white frocks, with two wheeled carts, ped
ding Rockaway sand, were familiar objects
on the streets. Then there were the darkies
who sold bundles of straw for filing beds,
and an old blind man who sold door-mats
made of picked tar rope. One of the most
genial and popular landlords in the city I
have seen peddling pals Of purc spring

There is, in the first place, an easy chance
to substitute other goods for those actually
imported. There is case on record where
an importer Of fruits kept lot of damaged
goods on hand for year. and used them to
mix with every importation for the purpose
of securing damage allowances The goods
being in the importers possession, it Is SIM
ply impossible TO detect a fraud like that,
especially where the appraiser is dishonest
There is, of course, SO much dependent
upon the judgement of the appraiser in such
cases that there is a wide margin for fraud.
The appraiser, for instance, may report q
lot Of preserved fruit as moldy or sugared.
He may judge from an imperfect or dis
honest inspection that class OF such goods
is entitled to damage allowance, when in
fact there was no damage at all The re-
suit in such cases would be to give the dis
honest importer an advantage over his hon
est competitors
"The frauds have gone SO far that not long
ago committee of the chamber of COM
merce, after Investigation, reported in favor
of suppressing damage allowances on goods
not in themselves perishable nor specially
subject to suffer damage. They recon"
mended that in lieu Of the present system
there should be fixed percentages Of rebates
for damages to be ascertained and estab.
lished by reference to actual experience in
the past, such fixed percentages to be allowed
on all perishable goods, whether damaged or
not
The colusion Of some Of the appraisers
with importers Of easy conscience is obvious
from the fact that importations of similar
goods in the same steamer have often been
offered for sale at widely different prices by
the different importers. The inference is
that the importer who sells so much lower
than his competitors has advantages over
the importer who pays honest duties"
