Drinkers of Tea
Will Pay More

New York, July 19.-Already the
troubles in China have given rise to re-
ports of a probable increase in the
price Of tea, and there is little reason
to doubt that efforts will be made to
induse tea drinkers to pay more for
their beverage than they have been do
Ing, even II the disorder now prevailing
In the northern part Of China does not
spread to the south, where the tea
succeed In inducing the southern
provinces to join in the anti-foreign
outbreak 1t does not seem probable, so
many merchants said, that the tea crop
of China can be seriously affected.
Another reason why there should be
little genuine stringency in the lea
market is the fact that India and Cey-
Ion and Japan furnish large part Of
the worlds tea supply and would grow
vastly larger crops than they do now
were 1t not for the competition Of
cheap Chinese teas. STILL II this conf
petition should be removed by the
spread of anarchy and war into the
tea growing provinces of China there
Is every probability that prices would
advance temporarily at least, and this
would probably result in America on a
large drop in the consumption Of tea.
Nevertheless, for some reason or
other, there has recently been a mark
ed advance in the wholesale price Of
some grades Of tea.
