therefore underwent these heavy losses without valving the banks. The banks, however, while congratulating themselves on having come out of It so well fast year, are this year very chary of making advances for the tea season. By 15th March, 1889, they had lent here about Tis. 1,000'000. and on 15th March, 1890, so far as we can leam, they have as yet advanced next ti nothing. The tea-season is likely to cominchce later than usual, partly owing to this cause and partly to the fact that many Chinese firms.. warned by the number of failures last year. have ceased to do business in such an uncertain article as tea has lately proved itself.
At Hankow the principal Chinese tea firm is the old established Taiên Shên An, next to which in the magnitude of the business done come the Chuo Hwa Slang and the I Tai Ch'ang. The second-mentioned has, we hear, borrowed little or nothing as yet from the Hankow native banks, the first-named 'is said to have obtaind from them advances of a considerable amount after China New Year, and the last-named, the I T'ai Ch'ang, is said to have been accommodated to the extent of over Tis. 100,000, intending to carry on the campaign this season with still greater energy than the preceding one. A new firm, the How Thing Siang, has started. The remaining old native houses seem to be in a manner paralysed by the bad results of last year's operations.
Forty-two new Canton firms, and two new Shansi ones have started, with perhaps others, and in the tea-growing districts of Yang-low-tung and Chang-show-kal in the hills, the agents who purchase tea from the growers bad already made ibeir arrangements for renting premises befor China New Year, and so we may expect that although the ten season may begin later, the business with those two districts will be as brisk at ever, though the tea-growing districts of Chang-yang, Tungshan and Han-ning will miss some agents who went there last year.

Mr. Smith, in moving his resolution in the House of Commons regarding the impartiality of the judges in their report on the Pamell Commission, said the object was to do absolute justice. All parties, he said, were rejoiced that the serious charges brought against Mr. Parnell and his colleagues had been disproved, but Mr. Gladstone's amendment to the resolution now before the House suggested that all the charges were false. Mr. Gladstone admitted the perfect bona fides of the judges, and argued that the charges proved were political or ancient. He eloquently appealed to the Conservatives to make tardy reparation for the monstrous wrong they were guilty of. The debate is expected to last a weeke
ST. PETERSBURG, March 4th.
The Russian black tea exporters were last year hampered in their operations by a dread of Indian tea being used to adulterate the Chinese leaf: Several Shans! firms of hundreds of years! standing, who enjoy the entire confidence of the Russians, nevertheless did a good business with
then.
This dislike of the Russians of Indian tea is. encouraging in the face of the constant tirades which we are, treated by the European press on. the supplanting of Chinese tea by Indian, which they asset to be advancing with such alarming rapidity. It confirms us in a suspicion that the principal recommendation of Indian tea is not its excellence, but its cheapness, which it owes to its freedom from export duty.
We have tasted Japanese tea, another rival of Chinese, though very different in quality from Indian, which is black, while Japanese is greer, The cup we sampled was some brought to.

THE ORATOR.
Turning from the press to the orator, the other great instrument in the overflow of words, it is to be observed that the amount of speech-making an all sorts of occasions and all kinds of subjects has increased beyond the fashion of former times in nearly the same ratio as the outpouring of the press. For this, indeed, the press is largely responsible. The custom of reporting, after some fashion, speeches the most ordinary and com- monplace, & weariness often to the hearers and of no interest to anybody else, has set thousands of tongues a-wagging for the glory of getting into print. They are reported, not because they are of any importance, but because the daily nécessity for material to All up the newspapers is often urgent, and must be supplied from all available quarters, at whatever expense of dullness or inaccuracy, when more interesting, news does pot transpire,
