THE PRICE OF TEA.
THERE SHOULD BE LITTLE OR NO ADVANCE TO

THERE SHOULD BE LITTLE OR NO ADVANCE TO
THE CONSUMER UNTIL THE PRESENT
STOCK is EXHAUSTED.
Although the wholesale dealers In tea say that
there is not likely to be any advance in the price Of
that commodity to the consumer for some months
that Is until the present stocks are exhausted-the
market prices Of tea have advanced as much as
six seven cents a pound In the last few days.
THIS increase has been caused by the demands Of
dealers who believe that the market will advance
by an amount equal to the whole OF the ten cents
duty The opinion, however, is expressed by con-
sentative dealers that there will be no further In
crease OF any appreciate extent. as otherwise
there would come a restriction in the demand and
a consequent reaction In prices.
Frank Merrall. of Acker. Merra & Condit, said
yesterday to Tribune reporter that It was too
early yet to estimate just what effect the addi
tlonal duty would have on the price OF tea. IN
any event." he said, the payment OF the duty will
not fall wholly the consumer The dealers will
surely bear a part OF the burden. II will depend
upon what stocks are in bond as to how soon will
come an advance In the retail price Of tea For the

would certainly enjoy some advantages over other
National banks. Still he thought that the charter
should be granted. regardless of other interests as
