The New French Tariff, which has just come into operation, happily imposes no additional 
atv upon the importation of Tea, notwithstanding its generally protective character. 
Commercial Treaties with Portugal and Spain will shortly expire. An opportunity may therefore 
;cur to negotiate lor a reduction of the Tea duty, Avhich in the former country is about i/io|- per 
, and lod. to i/i^ in the latter. 
Movements of Tea in London during January are shown below.
