celved through direct channel from Klachta IT
appears that the quantity OF tea brought there this
year by the Chinese to be exchanged for Russian
produce amounts to only 10000 chests; whilst last
year they brought 100000 chests The exchange
trade at Kiachta, between the Chinese and the
Russians has been very unfavorable, and most OF
the merchants have been obliged to leave their
merchandise IN the depots until next year. The
price of tea has already risen considerably and will
rise still more The greatest share OF the trade in
tea is carried on between Moscow and China. The
Government has summoned the principal merchants
OF Moscow to St. Petersburgh to hear their report
on the exchange trade carried on this year with
Kiachta, and to give their opinion as to the best
means OF remedying this state OF things During
the late hoslties between China and England, the
Russian and Chinese exchange trade more
