Tea Importatlons Less.

New York, Aug. 27.--Tea importers
here say importations into America
this year probably will be three or four
million pounds less than the preceding
~ months. The experts say this falling
off is only indirectly due to the war
between Japan and Russia as 1t has
had no appreclable effect on the trade
beyond an increased rate OF marine
insurance
The cause is found in the fact that
during two or three months before the
war began there was wave OF specu-
lative buying on the part OF the JOB
bers and retailers alike all over the
country. This resulted In an advance
of 10 to 10 per cent, but the trade haV-
ing filled up In anticipation OF future
wants, the demand Disappeared for a
time. causing great dizziness which has
only just begun to disappear
