In the present article we propose to
treat somewhat of that very “ungenteel”
article, the peanut, which 'finds such an
excellent market in Cincinnati.
With a view to learn a few facts not
generally known outside of those actively
engaged in the trade, our reporter called
at a business house on Maine street, and
through the kindness of oi\e of the gentle
manly proprietors, was able to learn what
follows.
During the present season 80,000 bags,
or 150,000 bushels,mostly of the Tennessee
kind, have already been' bronght to mar
ket. Of this amount, the city consump
tion reaches 5,000 bags, or 25,000 bushels,
which is just double mat of last year. Its
cheapness and the ease with which its soft
shell mar be broken make it a favorite
with the boys, old persons, and, indeed, in
many classes. The demand is rapidly in
creasing, and it is thought the receipts
next year will reach near 300,000 bushels.
There are many old men and old wo
men in Cincinnati who make their living
at peanut stands, and their business is
largely advertised at all public gathering
places' by the odor emitted from the
breaths and pockets of their thoughtless
patrons. The eatev has. as a general
thing, a pungent odor to his breath, which
makes him almost as great a nuisance in a
crowd as one who indulges in the ques
tionable luxury of Limburger cheese.
THE TENNESSEE PEANUT.
The Tennessee Peanut, which finds its
principal market here, and which is in
deed the only kind that reaches here in
any quantities' excels those of all other sec
tions in the United States, with the excep
tion of the Virginia nut, which has, at
least, the merit of being carefully cultiva
ted and prepared. The Tennessee crop
will this year amount to about 300,000
bushels, the market beiDg divided be
tween Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and St.
Louis, a very small proportion reaching
the tatter place, and less than one-tenth
finding its way to Pittsburgh. Probably
80,000 bushels will cover the receipts at
both places for the vear. Much of the
crop, however, whicfi promised well ear
ly in the season, and which would have
thrown not less than 200,000 bushels upon
this market, has been destroyed by frost
and thrown away.
Early in the season when great activity
had set in, the market was flooded by an
inferior quality, which has since caused
buyers to be cautious. During the sea
son the prices have ranged from three to
eight cents per bushel for unpicked, and
eight to eleven cents for repicked, which
is considered a good standard.
Other Kinds.
The Georgia and Carolina crops, which
find a market in Wilmington, and which
are generally known as the “Wilmington
nut,” will this year reach 150,000 or 175,
000 bushels, which is a large increase
over any former year. This nut is much
smaller than either the Tennessee or Vir
ginia, and does not command as good
prices.
The Virginia crop, probably 400,000
bushels, finds its main market in Rich
mond, but also reaches New York, Phila
delphia, and other points, where it is very
popular. This nut is much larger and
sweeter than any other, and is the favorite
wherever used. The superiority doubt
less lies much in the manner of cultivation,
the Virginia grower giving great attention
and care to it. The seeds are full of oil,
which, when expressed, is said to be de
licious.
In this connection it may not be out of
place to mention a few facts about the
peanut which are not generally known,
yet which all should be lamiliar with.
THE NATURE OF THE PEANUT.
It is the seed of an herbaceous plant,
belonging to the natural order of leoumi
nosce. In growing, the ovary gradually
elongates, and, curving downward, it
buries it-elf in thp earth, where it matures
into an oblong pod, with thickened and
veined valves; this, when mature, is of a
pale, yellow color, often contracted in
the middle, and contains from one to
three seeds of an Irregular ovoid shape.
Tho seeds are full of oil, which, when
expressed, is said to be in no way inferior
to the olive.
The plant is tropical, and is largely
j cultivated in hot countries for food, as in
| the Southern United States, in South
' America and in Africa. The seeds are
| eaten both raw and roasted, the latter be
1 ing the favorite.
The growth of this trade in the United
I States is astonishing, and it is thought by
j many who have given attention to the sub
ject that within a few years it will have
doubled its present proportions. What to
i expect, then, if this be true, it is difficult
I to determine; but when we consider that
j our theaters, and other public gathering
: places, already have an atmosphere
redolent of the'peanut stand, the matter
begins to look serious. To-day we see
people munching t.he " horrid things”
everywhere on the street, in the cars, in
the stages—scattering the shells abroad
with the utmost indifference. But this is
an age of progress, and these signs of
progression, no matter how distasteful to
| the sensitive nature, must be borne.
