Mr. Austen Chamberlain, in his reply to the India and Ceylon Tea Associations, said that, owing to the pressat state of the finances, there is no prospect of a remission of taxation in the coming year. He denied that the coa- sumption of ten per head has diminished since 1909, though, possibly, the rate of increase had somewhat slackened, In referance to the increased duty, causing a low grade of Chinees ten to supplant the better class tee from India and Ceylon, and the suggestion that fiscal measures should be taken to check this Mr. Ausieu Chamberlain said that, under the existing fiscal system, a preferential duty in favour of Indian teas was impossible. The A meeting of the Board will be held at 415 Associatious replied that the Board of p.m. to-day :---

Trade returns showed that the consumption of ten in 1900 was 6.06 per head, and in 1993 603. The Association further said that they did unt msk for fiscal measures only, but asked for the exclusion of teas which were rejer tod by the customs of other countries, and that they would again urge the attention of the British Government to the matter.
