13, Rood Lane, 
London, e.g. 
Dear Sirs, 
The increase in the output of Tea from India and Ceylon last year was so heavy 
that we venture to offer a few remarks upon the necessity of makir<^. strenuous efforts for 
the further development of new outlets, in order to effectually cope with the anticipated 
surplus of this year's crop. 
We are. Dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, 
GOW, WILSON & STANTON, 
June, igoo.

The diagram illustrates the expansion in production and consumption of British 
grown Tea. Through the development of new outlets demand fairly kept pace with supply 
until 1899, when the output exceeded consumption by fully 17 million lbs., a condition 
which does not augur well for prospect.s in the immediate future.
