cannot fail to be interesting. In referring To uR
the receipts of Teas in this country for one I-
year up to Sth utimo, IT say they will be H. l1b
D,Uo pounds short Of the Imports OF the yesT end
ing yune s., 1856, and that
:" The advance In blsck teas Ooongs, since last
December, has been fifteen cents per pound and
Young Hyson Teas, of low and medium grades
have eX persnoed an advance of one hundred ner
cent. over last seasons closing prices.

short supply and active demand but hen it is con-

- would not be surprising tn see Teas at much
