George w. Hoger of San Francisco. repre-
senting one Of the largest tea importing houses
in the country, is registered at the Claren-
don. To reporter for the G / o b g, Mr..
Hoger said that the recent tariff discussion
was OF enormous expense to the tea importers,
although the measures of the bill as passed
does not affect them. In anticipation of a
duty on tea they rushed in a number OF
cargoes at rapid transit and at an increased
cost of about three cents a pound, to get 1t
here before the tariff would go into effect
"A great many people labor under the err
roneous idea" said Mr.. Hoger, that America
does not get the best tea grown, but we do
just the same. The best Japan tea that
pound the best China tea is the Oolong,
selling for SIPS to $3.50 per pound By the
way our Japan buyer informed that the
second crop over there is a total failure-so
look out for shortage"
