did when he died, and you know he died sud-

Pronts ON Tea.
IScientitic American. ]

In the report of the Revenue Commission
we find the following facts about the profits
on tea. 1.s - # 81
phe original price of good tea is about lac,
per pound. This is the 'ship off" price. The
Chinese producer does not get tn is. There is
the export duty, tolls levied at the various
stations on the way to port, expense of pack
Ing, and the two or three profits accruing before
the tea reaches the hands of the exporting
merchants. Adding his profit, the price at a
Chinese port of shipment is as stated, about
1sc, per pound for good tea. Staple grades of
black Oolong tea are laid down in New York
I letahout 3Ac per pound, free of duty--that is
to say, sin bond" This includes all charges
selling commission, freight, insurance, etc, ali
over this price being profit. aa'lsk =.
Z moIhe Commission state that the profits of the
tea trade, after leaving the importers hands,
and before reaching the consumer, have been
enormous. They, add, that of the profit paid
by the consumer not more that one fourth
reaches the original importer Three-fourth
Gift stops In the pockets Of the jobber and the
retailer 'ss3ea ep.a ..,'--...,
a3 The Commission tested this by the following
& case ; A pound of Oolong tea was purchased
of each of two different and respectable grocers
in New York, on the same day, at go per
pound This tea was Immediately taken to
one of the leading "tea brokers" and valued
by, him at market price Of 90 cents for one
Of the samples: and SO cents for the other.
The market for tea at the time was steady,
at l46 to lat. The brokers valuation return-
ed to the Commission on the samples submit
& ted to him, was the price at which the tea
q would have been sold by the importer. The
tea inquestion cost, say abnut 80 cents in
9 currency, laid down in New York, duties and
. all charges paid. Ggi, 4 20 aT
IheJ importers profits ranged from ten to
= tkirteep cents per pound, while the balance of
the cost TO the consumer, appointing to fifty

cost to the importer, is cribbed by the iobber
