A long period of "boosted" and inflated markets has had its inevitable sequel---over-production. Now we find the whole trade and industry profoundly disturbed---stocks enormous, crops steadily growing bigger and much new tea land coming into bearing, whilst a great part of the tea being sold is fetching less than the cost of production.
