TEA GOES UP.
Advance Is Due to the Trouble il
China.

New York, June 2s.-Aside from resales
of cotton goods purchased for export to
China. the only pronounced effect of the
troubles in China seem to be an advance
in the price Of teas ranging between one
half and one cent per pound. Thus far
the situation in China has not operated
in the direction of any direct hindrance
Of receipts and the advances are regarded
as sentimental. Japan teas, in fact, adj
vanced before the Chinese troubles as
sumed important dimensions, and teas
of the island of F'ormosa, which is owned
by Japan and is a good days sail from
China, have advanced more than the
green teas of China.
