49, Tea. ss4ss#
writer in the New York Journal of Commerce
speaks of an attempt 10 introduce the cultivation of
lea, coffee, indigo, &c. into this country, towards
which some 500 have been subscribed and TAO acres
of valuable land devoted, he says
.Tea is produced and manufactured in China at a
cost oil 7 cents per pounl. In the Assam and Sing
phoo countries, it costs to cents per pound. In
Java the planter sells his tea to the Dutch Government
(who advances him money for cultivaon) for cen is
per pound The consumers of tea in America pays 60
TO 100 cents per pound in England 100 10 $50 cents
per pound. The tea in both countries consumed is
miserable stuff, having but sprinkling of genuine tea
with the spurious teas of the seaboard of China The
Tea plant Is one of the hardest plants there is The
genuine teas of China are produced from the 2Sth de-
grees OF north latitude upwards The 29h and 30th de-
grees are the districts from which the green and black
teas are exported These districts subject TO very
severe frost and heavy The United States in
every way adapted 10 the production OF tea. Indigo
can be produced to any amount in this country, and
for one third the expense that it cost East India
The exports OF tea from America may become more
important than any other of her staples person
who uses tea once day will consume y pounds in
the year; and twice day 5 pounds year.
| The import of tea into England varies from SO 10
81 million pounds, of which some AZ millions con-
sumed IN the United Kingdom That tea that costs
less than cents per pound, and sold at Canton on
ACREAGE OF 20 per cent per pound, is sold TO the con-
sumers at 1000 $50 cents per pound Therefore, the
not more than 100000 of the inhabitants cut OF
10000 make of tea daily, as those who do
, ii generally do twice day
II tea could be had in Eng land at fair price IN pro-
portion 10 the cost of production and of fair quality, it
would not be too much to say the consumption would
be equal to six pounds head, some 10000 900
pounds. The consumption would also increase in this
country, and in all parts of the world In South Aus
tralia the people consume pounds per head The
Chinese all hours and would the people of all
the east, could they procure it, The quality of tea
not be appreciated by that exported from China
nor the trade naturally EXTEND under present cir
cumsances, in this country For instance the import
of coffee is some 145 900 900 pounds that of tea
ries from 900 10 280000 900 pounds. The case
would be the if good fair quality of Tea
could be had The expense of Introducing tea indigo
and coffee plants, and other exotcs set FORTH may
S be $1,000 to $4,000"
