81 All teas ior the years 1880 and 1887. The CON-
mercis pressure Of the past year is evinced By the
hgher III IN the preceding year BY about ~ per st
or better than one fifth part In the lowest quality
OF tea, the consumption Of the posr, il was not less
than 80 per CT; while in the finest teas the censump-
ZION Of the wealthy, il was but IA per cent; and in
deed, in the very finest kinds there was no advance
al all but rather decline. The consequence is, tina
in the consumption of the poor there has been dot
cline Of more than 2,000,0 600 lbs, whereas, in that
Of the rich there has been an increase exceeding
million Of pounds. Even in the consumption of the
middle classes there has been an increase of above
million Of pounds, making on this large class Of teas
an advance Of between and per cent The total
decline Of consumption 10, after all little more than
million Of pounds; that of 1886 having been 49,
700 Q0o and OF 1887, about 81, 100000 The exports
for the last named year were 4600,000 exceeding
those OF the previous one by 400 600 pounds. The
revenue, even in 1897 will we suppose be above t3,-
300 900, or exceed that ander the monopoly system
by about 100000 The low prices of the free trade
have put stop 10 smuggling IN tea; and we recon-
mend 10 the government this example in the cases OF
tobacco, Geneva and brandy for there is not the

present comparatively high prices They are under
the impression that not above 10000 900 lbs, will be
imported in the of this season, while the stock

The remuneratng prices of tea will inevitably ex-
cite importation there Is no want OF the lower prl-
ced teas in the China market; and the existing quar-
rel with the Chinese, like all its predecessors, will
give way before the substantial interests Of both par
ties. Meanwhile, the stock in bond amounts to 3D.
