THE TROPICAL 
AGRICULTURIST. fMAy i. 1894. 
report) of January 12th, 1894, the following re- 
taarks : — " The Bue&ian trade in Ceylon tea bHowb 
encouraging expansion, much of the export to 
Getmany being for fiuseia." 
I moreover notice with pleasure that the direct 
export from Ceylon to Bueeia, which in 1692 wai 
4000 lb. of tea, has been in 1893—53,272 lb. 
I enclose my last brochure on Ceylon tea, acd 
remain, with my best compliments.— I am, &o., 
M. KOGIVOE. 
MoBOOW, Feb. lst-13lh, 1891. 
Ms Dear Walker, — Confirming my letter of the 
lBt-13th inst., I must again write a few lines to 
inform you that, after new inquiiiee made re- 
garding the transport from O lessa to Moscow, I 
find this route would be too long and too ex- 
pensive, rendering thus shipments via Odessa very 
disadvantageous. I have ascertained tbat Havi- 
burg is a much cheaper place, for transhipments 
than London, and would therefore recommend for 
eventual tea shipments to ship per German steamers 
to Hamburg, with bill of ladmg made out to order, 
of which one copy should be addressed to me 
and another one to hleaere, Elian d; Co., Ilambury, 
who will do the needful for re-forwarding to Moscow. 
I forgot to tell you that particulars of weights 
(with gross, tare and net we)<;ht of each cheat) 
which is required by the Customs authorities, must 
belsent along with the invoices. — 1 am, &o., 
M. KOGIVUE.
