TEA QUOTA MAY
BE REDUCED
LONDON, Feb. 27 (Reuter)-The
International Tea Committee will meet in London on March 2. The question of whether the quota for the next regulation year will be left unchanged or reduced by 21 to $7 per cent, remains very open. The increase in the United King dom stocks by 25,000,000 lbs. be- tween January 1938 and last month is smaller than was gener- ally expected and the present stock position does not suggest any immediate necessity for reducing the quota.
On the other hand the prices at London auctions In 1938 averaged 14.38 pence compared with 15.18 during 1937 and cannot be regard- ed as wholly satisfactory from the point of view of producers
