CEYLOA' TEA IN ECMT. 
The ligijptian Gazette of 19lh Nov. contains 
following paragraph : — ■ 
^Ye draw the attention of our rtad.rs to tho ad-

which Messrs. Edgar Kirby and Oo, are the agents 
in Egypt, with Mr. Fleurcnt as sub-agent, at Cairo and 
Mr. j. Slavick as sub-agent ut Port Said. Ceylon tea 
has made its way of late years in public favour ; tha 
Egyptian market has not bean oveiloi ked and the 
honour of being the pioneers of the Ceylon tea trade 
in Egypt belongs to Messrs. Edgar Kirby and Co. 
The advertisement referred to is as follows ; —

CINCHONA CULTIVATION IN JAVA. 
Mr. van Eorannde’a report for the 3rd quarter of 
1890 on the Java Coveriiment Cinohena Gardens 
states that the weather had been changeable, the 
east monsoon having been, as in 1889, very 
abnormal. The continuous rain on the Tangkoeban- 
prahoe had interfered with the growth of the 
plants. Stirring of the roil had been carried on 
vigorously during the quarter. A commencement 
was made with the planting of strips of land to 
form belts between tha four esiablisbments on tha 
Malabar mountains. The caterpillar plague again 
gave great trouble, except in the closely planted 
gardens, and theae were therefore cropped as little 
as possible. The crop of bark for tho year was so 
far '250,000 half kilograms, of which at the end 
of September 177,369 pounds had been despatched 
to Tandjong-Priok. At the sales in July and 
August in Amsterdam of bark of the 1889 orop, 
the average prices per half kilo and per unit of 
quinine sulphate were 8 and 9^- cents. On account 
of the want of dry weather in 1889, and excess of 
rain this year, the ledgeriana blossoming and faiiting 
was intsifered with, and consequently the numerous 
orders for seed could not be executed. Sales of seed 
could not therefore take place before November and 
December. 
Obangk-Growino is now a considerable and in- 
creasing indu.stry in some parts of California. And 
by last report of the British Vice-Consul at Loa 
Angelos an orange orchard of ten acres (here, in 
eight years from planting, will pay tor all tho outlay 
and leave the owner a profit of £190 or thereabouts. 
After that it will yield a return to (ho owner 
of not less than £1,660 per annum. Good suitable 
land with watcr-riglit can, ho says, be bought at 
£G0 to £70 au acre. The crop at Los .tngeloa, 
which last year reached 27,000 tons, will this yoav 
reach 35,000 tons. — J. A, rreea.
