A CHANCE FOR TEA IN ITALY. 
According to the " Gazzetta de^jli Esportatori," 
the trade in tea in Italy at the present time is a 
monopoly in the hands of one or two firms who 
supply shopkeepers, and also private customers 
directly, at extremely high prices, though the 
quality is not always good. Quite a low quality of 
tea, the " Gazetta " ;asserts, is sold at the present 
time at about 3s 6d the pound. In its opinion, an 
enterprising firm selling Indian and Ceylon teas, 
which would open branches in Italy, and content 
itself with a moderate profit, would soon be able to 
control the Italian tea market, reaping handsome 
profits for its enterprise.— Morning Leader, M.ay 16, 
COCONUT BUTTER IN MANNHEIM. 
The manufacture of coconut butter (palmin) 
is a considerable industx'y in Mannheim. 
Palrain is made from the kernel of coconut, 
and is used as a substitute for butter and lard 
in cooking. As it does not readily become 
rancid, it has met -with favour in German 
hospitals and army camps,— Globe, May 17.
