The  quantity  of  Tea  used  for  Home  Consumption  since  this  season  commenced  has  very 
~ghtly  exceeded  that  in  the  corresponding  period  of  last  season.  But  the  difference  in  the  proportion 
_sd  indicates  that  the  liquid  consumption  has  considerably  increased,  for  a displacement  of  some  nine 
-llion  pounds  of  drv  leaf  has  taken  place  in  China  Tea,  and  a corresponding  increase  in  Indian 
qd  Ceylon  Tea.
