wealthy firms in New York, and there is but
little tea imported by other people in Amer

they will of course protect themselves by
raising the price. The raise in price of teas
in the last few days is due to the work OF
New York speculators, and is simply
clever method to boom the product"

that we cannot disregard the effect of the
Chinese exclusion bill. The price of opium
fiuctuates materially, and this latest affair
