Iphn Whyte Bayd, superintendent engineer at Kowloon Dack, ani-I live at the Dock. On the morning of the 4th December I heard two short blasts of a steamer's whistle. After it I hard one long blast. Then I went on my verandah to see what was the matter. I saw two junks right in the way of the Ancora. I niso Hankow, and the continentalexporters knd taken His petition was granted, and he accordingly saw a small steamer close to Quarry Bay. I founil out afterwards that she was the Kungpas While standing on verandah watching the junks and Ascona I observed the small steamer porting coming towards the Ancona. The Ancona came round to starboard. I mean her head went round to port. That was after the other steamer had ported. The Kangeni went right on and struck le incona. In the two vessels together, Between the two steamers blasts I suppose two minutes elapsed. The Kungpai appeared to be close to the land on the Hongkong side when I first saw her, making for Hongkong. At the time of collision the vessels appeared to me to be in the centre of the Ly-ee-mun Pass, The collision took place a liule to the north of my house..
The reasons are not far to seck. Eacouraged by the profits of the previous year the teamen brought down a large crop of first crop tea, most of which had been prepared hastily in bad weathes and was consequently one of the vilest brought to market for foreign use. After the crops as regards qually that has ever been Russian buyers-had-frst-taken their pick-in their pick in London, the stuff left for the dis- criminating British public was almost nauseating. i have no hesitation in saying that more than three-fourths of the first crop was tainted with it positively unpalatable, and some was ac- some pleasant flavour, or other that made tu ly half rollen from rain-damago before it had hen fired for us. Nothing else a uld have been exprcted where there are so proper buildegs for receiving the raw leaf, and, where the cottager growes adopt a plan of drying the freshly p cked leaf over smaking straw or over a green wood fire. It is one of the crying evils of China that the wealth of the country is wasted by the neglect of the most ordinary care la preparing her splendid raw materials; and her produce is brought into disrepute through this neglect. The damage incurred by the want of buildings for housing the newly picked leaf last year caused a difference in values which would Have covered the cost of such buildings many
times over.
As usual after a heavy "first" crap the "second crop was poor, hungry, and flavour- briskness which made it at all serviceable. The "third" crop was unimportant, and of much the same character as the second.

There is one point however, on which too much stress cannot be laid. The stock of China Congou in the London warehouses is very large, consi- during the reduced consumption, and almost all of it is worth considerably less than it costs to produce the very commonest descriptions in China. Until this quantity is reduced consider. ably by the cessation of shipments of similar Kungpas did not go hard-n-port-she only qualities from China there is no possible hope of prices rising to a paying point for the producer, at any rate so long as the enormous export duties and inland taxations exist. The teal tug has at last come on us, and it has become evident to all connected with the trade that the imposts on ca in China must be considerably reduced, if not altogether abolished, or the trade will be reduced to a minimum. The taste for tea is increasing yearly, but China cannot bold her own in the competition to supply the demand unless these crushing taxes are abolished:
