The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1881-07-21

The present information from the New
York Herald will be exceedingly interesting
to the tea drinkers. Old maids and the
mothers in Israel who cannot do without

The Herald says:
Usually when crop of any sort fails there

however, to science ana unscrupuloasness,
no one but treghters need be frightened By
the report that in China the first crop Of
tea is sixty thousand chests short of the
usual quantity. Oace report like thi,

sugar and sostened with milk. A noted hu-
murlst attributed the American fondness for
hash to the eaters absolute certsinty as TO
what ne was eating that is, hash. If the ten
drioker Is equally fond of being assured OF
what be is drinking the present is good
time for him 10 ascertain the exact shape OF
the ia leaf and then examine the dregs ia
his teapot in the light OF his newly acquired
knowledge. If he finds they are not true to
the sample, but are shaped like currsn,
leaves, he will know that he is drinking dill

Some of the papers are discussing the
possibilities and probabilities of financial

fol,wins discussion of "the waverins

Toe month of June was the frst month
since March, 1880, in which tue exports OF
specie from the port of New York exceeded
The imports. The import was only $3l4 936
whle the export was $l,049 36l. Tins Is
not as gratifying u showing as could b. de-
sired but it is not in itself of any conse.
quence. It's only Significance is in what it
may foreshadow OF the future. The fact is
now FULLY developed that the grain crop OF
che uuited Sta es is short; to what extent
is yet of course, matter of conjecture. But
when it Is considered how important u Fl Iure
the grain product cuts in the grand total OF
our exports, the falling off alluded to Is
likely to arrest attention. For The ten
months ended April last the exports OF
domestl; merchandise from the United ST. ties
amoua!ed TO S7b9 ia, 1872. OF this imperial
amount $22S 99l $50 WAS in bread and
domestic breads uhs; that is, barley, bread
snd biscuit, Indian corn, Indian corn meal,
Oats, rye, rye four, wheat, wheat fur,
mslzena, tsrina, etc. Wheat, corn and
a)ur were, of course, the lending articles,
amounting the FIRST to Sl43 679,374, the
second TO $il,455,558 and The last 10
soI,olo l66. AS the excess of exports over
imports tor the ten months ended April lat
amounted to only $l53 S59 OH, il will be
oD'erV' at once that The Dalauce OF trade is
70 the point OF turning. AT all events, the
grain crop will fall short this year to II
Arger amount than the balance of the last
year In our favor. A pleasing circumstance
IN tals Connection, however. is noted; the

I'm nnted to only, $36 ,648 40, against S40.-

in'ne whole catal que of exports, exceeding
py many millions the amount OF grain, the
