TEA FROM INDIA.
India has now begun to cut out China as the supplier of tea. In 1875, for the first time, the import of China tea to Great Britain ceased to augment, while that of the Indian product represented the whole increase. The same fact is true of the United States, which is drawing its supply from Japan more and more every year. This year (remarks Mayfair) India will send us very nearly 30,000,0001b, which may be taken at 2a a pound all over on import. In 1875, the import from Calcutta was 25,000,0001b ; in 1861, it was only 1,300,0001b. The last season has been the most successful in the history of Assam cultivation.
