When the whole trade needed to be over- houled from the sowing of the sood to the firing and packing, all they could suggest was a monopolist association to coutta the sales. The last few months have seen what may possibly be a moving among the day bones of the China ten trade, and the export figures for 1915 will probably be far in advance of those for several years back. This renewed activily is cortainly not due to the adoption by the growers of better methods, nor to any improvement in the quality of the product; still, we are not surprised that the Chinese den traders want to push this small advantage as far as possible. This desire is seen in the establishment of the Chinese Tea Associa tion under Government auspices, but even in this case the published aims a of the Association do not show a real grasp of the essentials of the problem, and give
