BEARS AND BULLS.
ing-Plunger Partridge still
in the Ring.

Chicago, April 22.-Wheat started up
wildly to-day, opening TX cents higher
and advanced 21s cents before 10 o'clock.
Heavy realizing on the bulge knocked l
cent off, but the market remained very
strong. Partridge was again thought to
be covering and the bull feeling was also
helped by strong cables and the expecta-
tion of 100000 bushel decrease in the
visible supply. May opened at 81 =, sold
from 607s to 621l, and reacted to 6l1s.
Corn was strong following wheat in it's
fluctuations.
EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK.
New York.-The transactions in wheat
this morning about equalled the heaviest
days trading this year, being l3,325,0O0
bushels, and the advance of @ cents in
prices, over Saturday, was the biggest
single jump the market has had
in months. Traders we're fairly crushed
in the wild effort to execute buy
ing orders. There was a lot of short
stuff covered and good amount of
switching done. May opened, pa higher,
at 65s4; sold up to 65B and back to 65.
Corn and oats made quick response to
the rise in wheat, but sustained sharp
noon reaction.

CINNAMON GARDENING.

Process of Raising and Preparing the
Spice for the Market.
From Demorests Magazine.
I'VE were fortunate in the time of our
visit to Columbo, which was made in May,
Just at the commencement of the peeling
season, in seeing how cinnamon is pre-
pared for the market. The tree, which is
known as the cinnamon laurel, in its ratu-
raj state grows to height of forty feet,
and is very plentiful in the forests or jun
giles in certain parts of Ceylon, where 1t is
apparently Indigenous. The shoots from
which the sticks of cinnamon are obtained
seldom grow to a greater heigh. than if
teen feet They are cut down to the stump
every year, and new crop of saplings
springs up in their place. The young
leaves of the cinnamon laurel are at first
of vivid, scarlet color, but assume a dark
green hue when the berries, which develop
from small white flowers, have ripened.
These berries are Of brown or purple
color, and fragrant oil is obtained from
them by the natives, with which they
anoint their bodies. Wax tapers are also
made from the berries, which are used in
the temples Of the Buddhists.
I've saw numbers CT natives at work on
the plantations, cutting, stripping and
scraping the cinnamon. preparatory to its
being dried and packed for market. 1t
is the inner bark of the shoot which fur
HlSneS the cinnamon OF commerce, and the
pre- cess of preparation consists of first
stripping off the leaves, and after cutting
the shoot into pieces of convenient length
a peculiar-lookng knife Is used, with which
the bark is slit and then peeled off with
the fingers, in pieces as nearly as possible
Of uniform size. The men who cut and peel
the shoots belong entirely to the Chalta
csste. While thus toiling they do not wear
clothes above their waists, and, for a head
dress, either white turban or q coil OF
hair. and fasten it with comb of tortoise
shell. after the peculiar fashion peculiar

ut is necessary before taking the next
step to lay the bark aside for time until
1t is in proper condition for scraping, as the
outer skin has to be removed. This is done
Ey curling the still soft and pliable bark

Rand, ana also secured in position by the
feet of the stripper. The outer skin Ct the
lark is then carefully scraped away The
pieces are deity held in place by lodging
them in frame of crossed sticks and
holding them there by means of the toes.
while the delicate operation is performed.
The bark Is then placed in the sun to dry.
and naturally curls up into the quilts which
form the article of commerce Three or
four of these quilts or sticks are placed IN
SIDE one another to prevent breakage, and
the cinnamon is then ready for shipment.
The bundles are composed of assorted Gin
ramon sticks, and usually weigh about
thirty pounds.

AN ELEcTIoNEERING TRICK.
The Campaign Orator Was Promptly
Taken Up by His Opponent.

The Campaign Orator Was Promptly
Taken Up by His Opponent.
From the Century.
A few years ago a plain country doctor
and a Mr.. May, who was fond of jewelry
and wore a valuable diamond stud in his
shirt bosom. were running for the legis-
lature in one Of our counties. The race was
close and hot. At one speaking the doctor
made the following fierce and dangerous
thrust at his opponent: Fellow citizens,
don't you want an honest man in the legis-
lature? OF course you do. Now, what sort
OF a man Is my opponent? Why, gentle
men, look at that magnificent diamond he
wears! 1t is almost as big and bright as
the headlight on locomotive. Your eyes
can hardly stand its glare. 1t is worth
hundreds-maybe thousands of dollars. At
what valuation do you suppose he has put
1t for taxation in his return to the state as
SCISSOR? Why, at the pitiful sum of 500"
The crowd yelled for the doctor. Three
days later the two met again in joint de-
bate. Again the doctor took up his telling
theme and held forth eloquently and pas
sionately in denunciation of dishonesty and
diamonds and false assessments, and then
he again told Of Mays false return to the
assessor. Look at that gorgeous pin, gen.
tlemen! My eyes can hardly endure it's
dazzling rays. solomon in all his glory"
Hold on there, DOCTOR" said May. do
you mean to say this pin is worth more
than s2O?"
Eyes, 1 do-twenty times or fifty times
SO"
would you give $40 for it. doctor?"
"Of course l would
well, you can have 1t for that"
IAN right" said the doctor, and he hur-
riedly counted out the money and took the
pin. Then May rose to speak. and the
crowd cheered him. He was undoubtedly
game" and honest. He was willing to
take what he said the pin was worth. He
was elected. A week after the election he
called on the doctor and said: Doctor, l
don't want to rob you Of your money.
Here's your $40. That pin you bought was
paste. I got it in Louisville after your first
speech. Here is my real diamond. If I
can serve you, let me know"
