"Letter in New York Press. The mining of cedar has been an industry in the swamps near this place for threequarters of a century. It is the most unique mining in the world. Yet very little publicity has ever been given to the subject. Now and then paragraphs may have appeared in the papers, but they apparently attracted very little attention. When one speaks of mining cedar the impression usually is that petrified cedar is meant. It is nothing of the sort. Ages and ages ago a forest of cedar trees waved its multitudinous branches in the breezes about Cape May. They were superb monarchs of the forest, many of them, and they met their death in some violent manner. They fell prostrate perhaps through the agency of some terrific storm, and perhaps through some tremendous earthquake. At all events they did not rot away, but were laid low in- their prime, these stalwart cedars. One theory is that the forest was once of wide extent, and that It stood In a lake or swamp of fresh water. "Then," says Dr. Maurice Beasley and Clarence Denlng, geologists of standing, "either the half submerged land' on which the forests stood sank lower and the trees collapsed Into the lake or the swamp, or else the sea burst the barrier which had separated it from the trees and, rushing down upon them, wreaked widespread destruction. Possibly the tumult of the inrushing ocean was sufficient to overturn the , gigantic trees by the force of the waves and by the undermining of their roots, but they may have been done to death In a more gradual way by the destruction of their life at the roots by salt water. Down they all went, however, into the soft muck in which their roots were embedded, sinking deeper by reason of., their tremendous weight. The mold of centuries of leaves closed over them, as if they had been babes in the woods, and the festive plesiosaurus and the melancholy pterodactyl knew them no more. After life's fitful . fever they slept well, and if trees have any sense of feelin? and subtle Inner consciousness, thf? grim old fellows must have thought 9t all up with them." But it was not so to be. The resurrection time began away back in the year 1812, when 'some prosaic South Jerseymen, delving the earth, hit upon a cedar log and hauled it out to the light of day. To the surprise of every one It was found to be in a fine state of preservation. It had been successfully protected from decay by the peculiar qualities of the soil about, one of the strange accidents of nature which set scientists agape every now and then. It did not take long for the natives to reason that there might be more logs of the same sort in the vicinity. So they went about plunging an iron rod into the soil. When the iron struck something hard, and after they had satisfied themselves thatv the substance was wood and not stone, they attacked tne earth with their shovels and soon had another cedar laid bare. Practically the same process is pursued to this day, and thousands of feet of excellent timber have been procured since the mining of cedar began. The trees often lie over one another, and sometimes In heaps, as dead men lay on some of the battlefields of the clvfl war. The miner usually has little trouble in "striking wood." One or two little jabs Into jthe soft soil oftentimes suffice to locate a log. When the prod Ftrlkes the log the miner chips off a piece with the sharp point of the tool. which brings the splinter to the surface when drawn out of the muck. By the appearance of this chip the experienced miner can at once tell whether the log is sound or rotten. If it is sound he at once falls to work to prod up and down its length, until he has determined how long it is. This ascertained, he goes at the, mining. He works a saw similar to those used in cutting ice down into the earth, severs the tree near the roots and also at the top. The log Is then ready to be raised. A ditch is dug down to the log. the trunk is loosened by the cant hooks, and it rises with the water to the surface of the ditch. A very odd thing happens to the logs when they rise to the surface they invariably turn bottom side up in the water. To haul the log off to the mill is then a very simple matter. The Queen Is Old-Fashioncd. New York Tribune. ljueen Victoria is a remarkably conservative old lady so far as the routine of life goes. She loves old customs and doesn't like new things not even new furniture or new fashions. "When n distinguished lady," it is said, "a few years back, sent her children by her Majesty's request to Windsor, she sent them dressed as was arrd is still the mode, in tucked blouse dresses without sashes. Hut the Queen considered that no child should be brought to her in otner but full dress, and full dress in her mind did not exist .without the smart sash she had always khown.- And very courteously but firmly she made objection to the little frocks, and asked that the next time the Count.ess brought her children to her that 'she would not forget the sashes.' " The Queen still wears the horrible congress gaiters of thirty years ago. in which her foot shows no ftgn of Spanish Instep. Her children still address her in the way which was fashionable when they were little things. No member of the upper classes ever said "Mother" then; anu from the eldest to the youngest they still call the Queen "Alamma.'r
WHEAT SHOT UP 5-8C
BEARS STARTED OCT STRONG, RUT HAD TO TAKE A BACK SEAT. Demand for Cash Wheat and the Ai . parenttleltlng Away of the World's Visible Gave Hulls Courage. CHICAGO, Jan. 3. Everything opened weak in the speculative markets to-day and closed strong as regards wheat, firm as to corn and oats, and strong for provisions. Wheat closed rjvith a net gain of c, 'corn- and oats show no change and provisions are higher. A demand for cash wheat and the melting away of the visible supply of the world, gave wheat Its upward -tiirection. Despite plenty of the bullish news, the bears were winners In the fight at the opening of the wheat market. Chicago received only fortyeight cars instead of eighty estimated. Minneapolis reported receipts of 111 cars and Duluth sixty-five, or 176 altogether, compared with 246 on Thursday of last week and 360 on the corresponding day of last year. The total of the primary market receipts was 230,000 taishels, against 385,000 bushels a week ago, and 400,000 on the corresponding day of last year. Foreign markets were quoted fairly steady. London quoted cargoes of Argentine from 3d to 4d per quarter higher. Liverpool was dull and easier for red American and Paris 10 centimes higher for wheat and flour. The export clearances from the Atlantic ports were liberal, particularly of flour; 465,000 bushels were the equivalent of the shipments in flour arid wheat combined. The market began to stiffen up gradually after the first few minutes of the session, but not until Bradstreetls visible supply statement was received d!d the advance proceed with any degree of spirit. The publication of a decrease of 2,463,000 bushels in the world's visible supply stirred up the Qiscouraged bulls and caused May wheat to rise from 57c to 5757c. Previous to that the price had been playln wearily between 57c and 5757c Some sales near the opening were made at 5757e. Late cablegrams quoted French markets closing strong, with decidedly bullish tendency, owing to very light farmers' deliveries. May closed at 57c, helped by reports of very liberal cash business. Corn .was dull and heavy and appeared to be only saved from a smart decline by the closing firmness of wheat. May opened at from 47c down to 47c, improved to 47c, dropped back again to 47c, and at the close was at 47c bid. Oats met with a fair sale and were active during the greater part of the day. The, influence of a weaker corn market was forward in causing the slight heaviness noticeable. May started at 31c, sold at 31c, off to 31c, and at noon was selling at 31P31c. closing at the latter price. Provisions opened quite weak, due to the realization of yesterday's estimates of 41,000 hogs as the run for to-day. At the close the early loss was all recovered. Compared with yesterday's closings pork rested with a gain of 7c, lard .02c and ribs .5c. The reaction was due to rather liberal buying and sympathy with the grain markets.

Corresponding decrease include 104.000 bushels in Milwaukee private elevators, 35,000 bushels at Fort Worth and at Rochester, SO.noo bushels at Akron, 92,000 bushels at Newport News and 262.000 bushels at various Manitoba points. Stocks of wheat in private elevators at St. Louis not included in foregoing exhibits amounted to 987,000 bushels on Jan. 1, 33,000 buheh leas than on Dec. 1, 1894, and only 71,900 bushels less than on -Nov. 1, 1894. Small Output of Flour. MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Jan. 3. .The Northwestern Miller says: Minneapolis ground only 55.320 barrels of flour Tast week, against 81,443 week before last, and 141,473 in 1S93. This week the output promises to approximate ,80,000 barrels. There is little change in flour, unless the dullness is more pronounced; Light as the output" was. tho week's sales lacked some of settling it. A little more export seems to have been worked, though low prices had to be accepted. Foreigners "have shown a little "more interest for a few days past. Export shipments were 9.220 barrels, against 13.275 the week before, and 29,635 In 1893. Valley of Ohio mills reported business dull as It could be, with nothing cheering as to prospects.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 3 The Iron Review this week will say: In active business through the holiday week, the East appears to lead with Chicago and the central West quiet in most lines. At Philadelphia inquiries received both in raw and finished materials IndVate that January will exceed expectations. Eastern furnaces are holding prices steadily and have accumulated little stock. The November increase in coke. Iron stocks in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio furnace yards are responsible for the weakness evidenced in those sections the past fortnight, with Bessemer still selling at $10$10.15 at Pittsburg, admittedly cost, for some furnaces. Structural developments in Eastern cities, particularly New Y'ork and Boston, have been en-' couraging, and the mills west of the 1 Alleghenies are not likely to stand too stiffly on prices when the work is given out. Bar iron men east of the mountains are getting together to stop the elimination of extras and to put the trade on a better footingsomething the Western manufacturers have not been able as yet to accomplish.

Eirick Brothers, commission dealers of this city, have issued their annual stock report, covering the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. The table given shows the visible supply of stock In comparison with last year. The percentage on hogs is based on the supplies of last year at this time. On sheep and lambs the percentage is based on the stock bn hand Dec. 31, 1894. The percentages follow: Cattle Ohio, 32 per cent, decrease; Indiana, 30 per cent, decrease; Illinois, 35 per cent, decrease; Michigan, 35 per cent, deciease. . , . Hogs Ohio, 10 per cent, decrease; Indiana, unchanged; Illinois, 20 per cent, .decrease; Michigan, 5 per cent, decrease. Sheep and Lambs Ohio, 52 per cent, decrease: Indiana, 42 per cent, decrease; Illinois, 45 per cent, decrease; Michigan, 40 per cent, decrease. There seems to be a decided shortage in cattle in Illinois, but two counties reporting more feeding this year than at this time last year. Hogs are reported generally unhealthy in southern Ohio and in a gojd many parts of Illinois. Some sickness prevails in Indiana, but very little in Michigan. Wheat is being fed quiteliberally ; in some localities the percentage runs as high as 75. In Michigan, particularly, it is ted to a large extent and the best of results are reported.
