somewhat irresponsible association really proved itself to be no great factor in the final determination of the question; it was one of those questions which appealed to the many, far beyond any petty local com- siderations, even of those of this society, and it had the unanimous support of the Government of the colony, also of the Press, an unusual but by no means dis- picable factor.

Tamaul, July 24th. The tes-season of 1891 is in full blast, and the tea-market is as lively as an Irish film. I have just been studying a trick in the trade and there are more tricks In the tea trade of the Hast than to any other known to man. The true inward seas of this particular trick is as follows.

They native merchants and Christian tea-exporters, obtain the needful money from heatben usurers, It makes but little difference to whom they apply as each charges ro per cent on the loan, takes the land and growing crop as collateral security and imposes the hard condition that he shall have the first choice of buying the new leaf at the market rates. As the crop comes in the money lenders hold back and hear the market as much as it will stand, and do nothing until there are signs of revolt among the farmers. Then they buy largely at the lowest figures and shortly afterwards jump the prices so as to prevent interference from less long-headed operators,
