TEA COST DOUBLED
High Ocean Freights and Ex
change Are Responsible.
WO RELIEF IS IN SIGHT
Extreme 2'riecs J.ikcly to Prevail
for Several Years After Kiid.nr
of War, Owing to Scarcity
of Tonnage.
Although the consumption of tea in the
Paoifjf; North went Is not considered large,
stUl there. Is quite a volume of business
done in this commodity. It i-eems hard that
the consumers will be asked to pay all the
way from 75 cents to $1 for teas which
they were formerly able to buy from 50
to 10 cents per pound, and more particu
larly o when we all realize that the orig
inal grower is deriving no benefit what
soever from this increased price.
Two distinct factors have entered into the
laid -down cost of teas to such an extent
that the average cost, taking all kinds into
consideration, i practically double what it
was a year ago. These two factors are
freight rat en and rates of exchange. Many
ships have been commandeered by the Brit
ish government, and now by the American
Government, which leaves very few freight
carriers for commercial purposes, thus en
abling the owners of those carriers to de
mand whatever they may see fit In freight
rates. Only a few years ago tea was pay
ing approximately $6 per ton from Japan
to the Pacific Coast, whereas the rate to
day Is over f'JO per ton, with a rate of $60
to $70 per ton from Chinese points, and
proportionately higher from Ceylon and In
dia. In addition to this, the uncertainty of
sailings and shortage of freight space have
given those holding teas In this country an
opportunity to dispose of tliern at extremely
high prices.
The second factor, exchange, has in the
past not affected the cost of merchandise
to an extent where It has been particularly
noticeable from the consumer's standpoint,
but today sliver is worth about $1. whereas
heretofore it has been averaging around 50
cents, so In the final analysis the very con
siderable Increase Is going to the ship
owner, which tho ultimate consumer is
forced, to pay.
Xo relief appears In sight for several
years after the war ends, from the freight
fttandpolnt. as Kurope will necessarily need
supplies of various kinds from all the coun
tries of the world. This will continue to
tax available ships and those being buiit.
Kven with this extremely high price, tea
Is still a most economical household bever
age. Inasmuch as one pound will make liOO
cuds, so that at $1 per pound each cup will
cost only half a cent.
FOREIGN CROP KVS tNFAVORABLE
Weather Conditions Had in Nearly All Parts
of Kurope.
Crop conditions in Kurope are mostly un
favorable, according to Broom hall, who has
Issued the following summary I
" Russia All advices, with the exception of
aemi-ofTicial reports, are unanimous that
AVInter grains have suffered severely from
the drouth, which affected the Central Km
pires and Roumanla. Movement of all grain
In the interior is light, owing to poor rail
way facilities. The enemy's invasion In
volved large stores in that section. North
very cold.
France Very unfavorable weather has at
tended harvest and this work is Impeded.
Yields unfavorable and quality not satlsfac- j
too. Movement slow, as tarmers are dls- j
satisfied with official price of S7s per 4S0
pounds and supplies are scanty.
Italy Latest reports refer very unfavor
ably to harvest results and the yield will
show greatly under last year. Quality fair.
Supplies are light and foreign arrivals In
creasing. The government Is supplying
bread at a low arbitrary price, which is
drawn from the people by taxes.
Germany All neutral advices refer to the
outturn of crops as un favorable. Potatoes
fair yield of line quality.
Balkan States Harvesting Is finished and
threshing also. Yields better than expect
ed and much is being exported overland.
Plowing for new crops large.
Spain Harvest finished, with yield large
and quality good.
Scandinavian Peninsula Crop outlook
poor and harvesting is revealing a small
yiold of inferior quality. Supplies are scanty
and importation very light. Consumption
Is very small, owing to Government regula
tions. United Kingdom Very unfavorable
weather attends harvesting, with frequent
beavy rain and wind. Serious damage from
shedding and sprouting reported, Oats
fairly favorable and potatoes good.
India Weather favorable for the moment.
Plowing is progressing, with Indications of
at materially enlarged acreage.
Aun ralia Rains continue to be reported
and this should enable the crops to make
rapid growth as soon as springlike weather
is established.
Xorth America Harvesting Was attended
by favorable weather and results are better
than earlier expected.
EXCHANGE SESSION IS POSTPONED

GOOD DAIRY CATTLE NOT SOLD
Stock Disposed of Not Profitable as Milk
Producers.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3. Officials of the
Bureau of Markets say that a number of
causes have a bearing on the increase In
the receipts of cattle and decrease for hogs
and sheep. The Increase In cattie shipments
is In part due to an effort to market the
animals because of the high prices that
have been obtained for them, coupled with
tiie greatly increased prices of ieds and
the several droughts that have prevailed In
the Southwestern section. Some dairy ani
mals have undoubtedly come to market from
these causes, coupled with a desire on the
part of dairymen to keep only bigb-uroduc-
ing stock and to get rid of cattle that will
not be profitable as milk producers.
Last year au unusually large number of
hogs and sheep came to market In response
to high prices and the receipts at the stock
yards so far this year are believed to repre
sent rather a return to the normal move
merit than a distinct falling off la the sup
piy.
In the north central part of the country
the receipts of hogjs t most of the packing
centers have shown no falling off and in
some cases an increase. Ohio points and
some in Indiana, Illinois and Iowa show
slight increases in bog movements, bu
many of the larger centers, such as Chi
cago, Kansas City Vnd St. Paul, show de
creases, and the aggregate tailing off Is
considerable. Receipts of sheep have shown
decreases almost every where, but a few
places in the Far West, notably Denver, and
in the Southwest, especially in Texas, hav
shown decided increases. These Increases.
therefore. represent range-raised rath
than farm-raised sheep.

NEW YORK. Oct. 3. Dullness was the
chief characteristic of today's stock mar
ket, trading falling off sharpty until the
