How the Fragrant Harvest
Gathered In.

London Mail.
Only ten miles from London lies Laven-
bathing in bright Surrey sunshine seem to
make the air heavy with their sweet old
fashioned scent for miles around.
Just now they are busy in Lavenderland
gathering in the seasons harvest. The in
habitants of the little village of Wellington
upon which the mantle OF Mttcham, for
merly the certer of the industry, has fallen
are cutting the purple blossoms and max
ing them into sheaves
From the fields the sheaves of lavender
are taken to the great distillery which
stands within the tiower-laden garden of
Miss Sprules, the ady lavender farmer
who has done so much for the revival of
the local industry.
Years ago, when Miss Sprules first began
its cultivation, the local lavender was in a
bad way. A succession of severe winters
witt killing spring frosts had almost ex-
terminated the once famous lavender of
Mitcham and the neighborhOod, and the
foreigner was pouring his inferior scents
Now the industry has become again a
large and important one. and in spite of
the encroachments of the builder. which
have already driven the lavender from
Mitcham and are threatening il in the
neighboring villages OF Carshalton. Wal
lingtOn and BeddingtOn, there is enough Of
it grown in the district TO last yet for
many a year.
Miss Sprules does not like the prospect of
a legion of women descending upon Wal
lingtOn TO run lavender farms-a prosnect
opened out by the recent writings of a ladv
journalist. 1t Is mems work, not women's.'
she says. The growing of lavender must
be conducted by men of capital willing To
employ competent labor If we would hold
the parishes together"
II cutting Of the lavender is a delicate
task. and is undertaken by men skilled i'm
the business. An incompetent laborer
would spoil the whole of the next year's
crop in his efforts. For the peppermint.
which Is grown among the villages almost
as extensively as the lavender, there is not
so much skill required. and the women and
children OF the neighborhoOd lend a hand
in cutting il.
The old London street cry is almost dead
In out a few places now can the old famil-
lar call. sweet lavender bring back &c
memory the days when the use of the
flower and its scent was almost universal
among the women of England. But In
spite Of this. the sale Of the English laven-
der is again increasing, thanks largely. ne

characterized by the selling of many large lines
Of wool, most Of the purchasing having been
done by the medium or smaller-sized mills. which
have taken fair average sizes mostly az going

ably larger than IL has been for some time. and

GRAINS DULL But FIRM
WHEAT 4 BIT HIGHER AND CORN
y OATS LOWER.
Report of an Argentine Drought and
"a Fair Stihened
the Chicago Narket.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4-Dullness was again
the prevailing feature on the Board OF
Trade to-day. There was a firm undertone
to both wheat and corn, the December OPP
ton on the former closing Aa2sc higher.
December corn closed a shade lower, and
oats 1sa4c lower, with provisions a shade
to 5q712c higher.
Extreme dullness was the only feature in
wheat, but with all the inactivity and the
efforts OF the bears there was a strong
undertone, and the close was at the top fig
ures OF the day. The opening was a shade
! easier on Indifferent cables and liberal
Northwest receipts. \ fair cash demand
and comparatively light local receipts were
bull factors. December opened a shade
lower TO a shade higher at 71c TO d1sc, and
in sympathy with coarse grains prices de-
clined TO 103sc, rallying toward the close,
which was 14Njsc higher at Use. a report
of drought in Argentine was a steadylnS
factor. Bradstreets worlds visible supply
showed an increase of $4,000 bu. Clear
anceS or wheat and hour were equal 10
$50, 00 bu, while 81 bOatloads were reported
taken for export. Primary receipts were
1,21S,00 bu, against 1,35l,OO bu a year ago.
| Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts
of 143 ears, against Ga cars last week and
504 cars a year ago. Local receipts were
25S cars, with 9 cars Of contract grade.
There was very little business transacted
in the corn pit. and the opening was quiet,
with prices a shade easier. Trading was
mostly for local account, and the market
was featureIess. Heavy commission house
buying. together with a fair cash demand,
were the strengthening influences. Decem-
Der sold between 557s and 569sq56Ac, closing
a shade lower at 56ssc. Receipts were 464
cars, with 10 cars OF contract grade.
Oats followed corn and wheat, and trad
ing i'm that cereal was without any speclai
features. The opening was a trihe lower
and there was considerable selling pressure,
but offerings We're we'll taken and the
early losses were about all regained on
| covering by shorts and on a good outside
demand December sold between 1850 and
35c, closing 1sd4c lower at 34AQ343sc. Re
ceiptS were 290 cars.
Provisions opened steady on higher prices
for hogs, and the feature to trading was
the strength in lard. There was a moder-
ate trade, with packers fair buyers OF near
by deliveries. January pork closed a shade
higher at $15.55, January lard 5d719c higher
at 81. 9OGS. 9215, with ribs a shade higher at
$7.9715dS.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat
175 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats, 135 cars; hogs
$4,000 head.

AN INTERESTING PERSONALITY.
Man Who Knows All About Mexico
and the Me~xicans.
Washington Post.

An author of many books on Mexico and
South American countries, and a traveller
OF note, Mr.. Charles Fletcher Lummis, of
Los Angeles, is in the city, accompanied by
his little daughter, Turbisce, who is quite
as picturesque in character as her father,
having lived much of her short life among
the Indians. Mr.. Lummis, educated at
Harvard College and long a newspaper
writer. has for the last twenty years
searched much in the interesting realm of
early literature of the far Southwest. and
knows more, perhaps, about the writings
of 200 years ago in Mexico and the land
adjoining ii 20 the north than any other
living man. He is now editing and pre-
pairing for publication a memorial on New
Mexico, which was printed in 1880 by Fray
Alfonso de Bonadives. AS far as known
there are only four copies of this book in
existence, and they are valued at s.. 500.
One Of these copies is owned by Edward
T.. Aver, of Chicago, whose name is con-
nected with the Newberry library. of
Americana, the finest on Indian topics in
the world. Mr.. Lummis is also publishing
Gaspar de Nfllagram's CONQUEST of Now
Mexico in l59S,' printed in 1910. and other
interesting books of Southwest history
From actual contact and from life among
the MeXicans and South Americans. Mr.
Lummis Is not only we'll qualified TO sneak
OF them, but ne has high praise for their
enaIacIerlsllcs gu people generally
and IT is little wonder il is so. We send

pared with the corresponding time a year
ago. The receipts to-day were compare
lively liberal, being over twice as large as
a week ago and July four times as large
as a year ago. y very large proportion
of the arrivals were common or unfinished
cattle. for which there has not been a very
active demand for a long time, and strict
" thick fat stock of choice quality was
exceedingly scarce. Buyers evidently were
displeased with having to look at so many
undesirable cattle and they were not in
clined to treat the better grades as favor
ably as might nave been expected under
other circumstances. Consequently the
market for all kinds was sluggish and
there were not many transactions that
were considered steady compared with yes

Railroad Purchase Rumors.

tGranger Farwell & Co.'S telegram
NEW YORK, Sept. 4-The market opened
with bearish sentiment and buying power
limited. but after the bears had sold it off
it became apparent that the little lighter
long stock came out and prices began to
improve. Buying for both accounts re-
suited in a good advance, and the close.
while slightly under the best, was good,
Great Western and Wisconsin Central were
both advanced on the same old rumors of
purchase by other roads. Near the close il
was rumored that gold had been engaged
for export.
