EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE TEA MARKET.

London, Jan. 29. Tukenennell's tea market report declares that the United King- dom's stocks in bond are 37,000,000 pounds less than last year. It notes that the American and Canadian demand is changing from green to black teas. The Russian door is slowly reopening to trade, and the continent is very short of stocks. It concludes that a higher level of prices has come to stay, as is evidenced by the fact that blenders' advance purchases are unparalleled in the history of the trade.
