SALT LAKE CRY. UTAH


Some interesting statistics have
been collected by Vice-Consul Arnold.
ut Foo-Chow, concerning the great
decline in China's tea trade. From
1878. when tea was first introduced
into England. until 1887 China held ex.
clusively the tea trade Of the world.
Then India began to enter the tea
market. The Chinese trade reached
high tide in 1886. with total export
of 100000 pounds. In 1884 China
furnished about 70 per cent of the
worlds total, India and Ceylon Is per
cent and Japan and Formosa 10 per
cent But in 1904, when the total con.
sumption had increased to 644.O00.0Oo
pounds. China contributed only 80 per
cent, India and Ceylon go per cent,
Japan and Formosa 10 per cent. The
decline in China is ascribed to care
less methods of cultivation and pre-
paration of the leaf.
