New York, March 5th, The tea crop this year is 27,000,000, pounds 'short and this shortage will cause an increase in the price to the consumer of to cents a pound. Harold Waddle, a tea grower and importer, whore main office is in New York, said to-day that late advices to him were to this effect, and that the shortage was caused by the blight, a disease which attacks only the tea plant and which breaks out at irregular perioda in the tea plantations of China, India and Ceylon, which produce nearly all the tea that is used in the world,
Each year in advance the growers estimate what the year's crop will be. The tea is now being harvested and reports from all points of the tea-growers' districts of China show that the actual amount of tea harvested will be 24,000,000 pounds less than was estimated. India and Ceylon have not fared so badly. The crop in those countrics combined is only 3,000,000 pounds below the estimate. Over 250,000,000 pounds of tea are consumed annually. Of this amount China calsed last year 112,000, do pounds and India and Ceylon 132,000,000 pounds.
The shortage in the crap will force up the wholesale price of Chinese tea from an average of 18 cents a paund, according to Mr. Waddle, to 24 cents a pound, and of Indian and Ceylon ten from an average of 23 cents to an average of 20 cents a pound. The wholesale dealers will add about 4 cents to this increase, so that ten drinkers will have to pay 10 cents more a pound than they did last year.
