MARSDEN ON TEA.
He Takes Exceptions to the Letter
of W. G.. Wait.

MR.. EDITOR: - Mr.. William Or.
Wait, in his interesting recital OF
facts concerning his experiments IN
tea culture, makes several statements
which call for a reply on my part.
AS Mr.. Wait views it the principal
duties Of my office are those of collect
ing and dispensing reliable informa-
ton, and not the assertion of personal
and perhaps prejudicial opinions.
Mr.. Wait is quite correct, and l
trust he will pardon me if / say that
my opinion, viz, that tea is unsuited
to successful cultivation on these Isl
ands, was not a bold personal asser-
ton on my part, but was based on a
careful study of the conditions of the
industry in all the principal tea coun-
tries in the world.
Mr.. Wait expects to offset the differ
ence in the price of labor by the use
of a machine to pluck or pick tea in
stead of the ordinary method of hand
picking.
Now Mr.. Wait must be well aware
that machine tea-pluckers are in use
in Ceylon, and are spoken highly of by
the planters, as there is quite saving
over hand picking. There will be no
advantage over Ceylon in that direc-
ton.
Now as to Mr.. Waits facts. He
says that tea made after Ceylon meth
DDS would cost, put on the market,
271 cents per pound, and that he has
made tea by improved methods for
$3.50 cents per pound. He hopes to
further improve this by bringing the
expenses to 13.45 cents per pound of
tea placed on the market. This is not
yet fact, but an expectation. Mr..
Wait says, take the average price in
Mincing Lane, at l shilling per pound
ga cents). 1t is all very well to say
that, for the purpose of figuring out
profits, but it is far from being fact.
The following price list taken from
the British Trade Journal, June /,
1894, shows the average price of all
teas in the London market to De below
2O4 cents per pound, and of Indian
and CeyIOn teas about Is cents:
