Decline of China,s Tea Trade

Mr.. Carries, the British consul at Foo
chow, has a striking story to tell Of the
decline of the Chinese tea trade. The ex-
port of tea from that port in 1897 was near
ly sixteen million pounds below that of 1896
At present the cultivation of tea is scarcely
remunerative. In the KEN Ming and Yen
Ping prefectures rice is taking it's place. In
the Foochow neighborhood the sweet po-
tato receives more attention, and IN remote
tea districts the consul hears of curing
houses being offered for sale to mission
aries. But Oolong, Seu-moo, Souchong and
Pan-yong teas retain, and in some cases Inn
prove their position. The competition for
belongs, some Souchongs and flowery Pc
koes Is still very keen. nothing like them
being produced In India. Mr. Carries does
not believe China can regain her position
in the tea trade. The consumption of tea
In China itself Is restricted even in the
provinces which produce it. to small class
Even in .Fuhkien, outside of the literary
class and merchants. the majority of the
people use tea dust of different grades, and
In provinces where tea is not grown other
leaves take Its place. In England the an
nual tea consumption is equal to six pounds
per head OF population, whereas in China
the average annual consumption by the
very limited number of tea-drinkers is not
more than half that amount.

cd to the loan clerk of the Park bank
thelr demand note for $1,000 and what
purported TO be seven 81 900 bonds of
Davenport City. Iowa, and received in
turn the plaintiffs check for IS 900. The
Park bank deposited the bonds in its

be right until January, 1896. when an
account appeared In the newspaper

ity that al the close of the day the de-

lief, founded on unofficial advices, that
the Spanish squadron was lying in
Santiago harbor and no news ms to

However, the majority OF the officials
of the navy department entertain no
doubt that Cervera Is within Santiago

impressing this belief upon the Presl-
dent and the members of the cabinet.
