Country Tea.—An absolute lack f interest was shown by the American market in Country Tea chops, dashing to the ground the hopes ofa revival of this branch of the trade from the experience of the previous season. However, notwithstanding this, there was not a chop left on this market by the end of November, and tea men were helped out more readily with what chops they had, as the uncoloured lines of Young Hyson were: readily taken for America throughout the season. It is said that natives are contracting for the new teas at very high prices and that no reduction in tael prices are to be expected by the foreign mer chant, Hoochows and Pingsueys.—aA_ remarkable quantity of lower lines found their way later in the season to unusual destinations, such as North African ports. The water was rather better on the whole than the previous season, but style was certainly inferior. - Pingsuey stock is a negligible quantity and would not obtain admittance into the United States of America.
