Its reported that the government in

which, on the lob instant amounted tC
i5l 900 bags; lover quotstions and easier
rates of exchange. 1t thus appears thai
the heavy load carried is gradually weigh
ing the market down, but that it still re
mains above what buyers consider remu
nerating-operating basis" The tea trad,
| showed moderate activity at unchanged
prices. Under the operation OF the new
law 1t is expected that from 10000 600 tC
| Il, 0O0, 900 lbs of adulterated teas will be ex
cludcd. At present the country consume:
| hardly IS 100000 lbs Of tea annually, and
| the importation last year was SO,VO,OOt
lbs, thus leaving total of over 10000 OU
lbs of tea, mainly adulterated, on the mar
| ket. The total importation OF Japan tea Is
about 80 10000 lbs, of which $1,000 600 lbs
are chemically colored and the total impor.
tation OF green teas is about Is 100000 lbs,
all of which are chemically colored.
1.-THE Cuban crop of suga. is estimated az
$50, COO tons. against 600 600 year ago. The
crop of the British West Indies is estimated
al % 600 tons, or 10 per cent, less, and tina,
OF the French West Indies is estimated at
10 per cent, less. In the aggregate this Will
be serious reduction. The receipts AT
New Orleans of sugar up to a week ago
were lag, lS4 hogsheads, against 1907 the
same time last year, ana l5i OlS barrels,
against G7 ,0iS. Statistically, the market Is
in strong position, the total receipts beinl
lust about what they have been Tor the
past three or four years, and this III spite OF
the inducement to ship to this country IN
anticipation OF the reduction in duty. Re-
ceipts, however, would be larger but for the
small outturn in Cuba and the West Indies.
Although the stock is larger than u year
az o, it is still less than for the two years
1881 and 1880, SO that the supply does not
appear excessive. This increase in the stock
is also accounted for by the fact during the
past four weeks the distribution OF raw
sugar. which previously had been equal to
that of last year, has fallen behind 2o,OOo
tons. This decrease in the distribution has
been largely caused by consumers holding
back, anticipating lower prices after the
tariff act has gone into effect
