The ex- port of tem amounted to 115,994 piouls, this being a decrease of 18,421 plonis on the export during the previous year. The Consul adds the following interest ing remarks in regard to Japanese tea

Japanese producers have apparently be come alive to the fact that they have fallen into the error of over producing, and also that their teas are losing their former great popularity with consumers in the United States. They are now endeavouring to correct this by paying more attention to the picking and curing of the leaf, and the present season's produce shows a marked improvement as compared with the last two
