Tea Spectators.

Spectators who purchased large
quantities of Japanese and Formosa
teas in anticipation of either an ulti-
mate Russian victory or the indefinite
prolongation of hostilities in the far
east, now are having difficulty in dis
posing of their holdings. Except for
two weeks. when the Russian North
Sea fleet was approaching Japan, the
exports from that country have nor
been interrupted, and the new crop of
tea now is coming forward in large
quantities.
The crop from Japan this year is es-
timated at is. 000. 900 pounds against
20. 900 900 last year. This falling off is
more than counterbalanced by the Ole

statement in which the Standard Oil
company is denounced and an appeal
Is made to the people to fight that con-

stead, they say, the Standard has cut
the price several times and that 1t Is
now less than 81 a barrel.
