The tea merchants are dissatisfied
with Assistant Secretary News reply to
their request asking for information re-
specting how the new tea duties should
be interpreted. They think, as the de.
cision will not be given until, in the
course of importations, teas sse seized
and held until test case be made. In
consequence merchants are not ordering
any low grade teas, fearing the govern.
ment will confiscate them. Had the
Secretary decided on the samples sent
him, the grades approved by him could
have been safely imported. Demorali-
zation in the tea trade is expected.
