The Overland Russian Tea TradeTea in Bricks and as Currency, in ids supplement 10 mo consular Trade Report for tbo port of Tientsin in contained an interesting acoount of the tea trade carried on between Russia and China eta Kisebta, in Eastern Siberia. For many years prior to 18A1 a oorporntion of Rursian merchants at that town monopolised the entire barter trade with China, and conducted their buaiuetr with a similar body of Chinese merchants, who were established at Mal-iuai-ckcn, a town Just within the Chinese frontier. Aa the trade which had originally been ohiefly confined to the barter of Russian furs for Chinese s.lk and cotton began gradually to assume tccreased 1 dimensions aud to change its chnraitor, the Russian Government in i860 found it necessary to logollto the expert of specie, which up to thst time had been strictly prohibited, in order to force the Cbinern to buy Russian- furs and manufactures. In 1801 the m >uopoly in the tea trade, whioh had bc? n onjoyed oy the , Russian guild at Klucbta, was abolished, and in the spring ol the following yesr, in spite of tbo urgent protest of its members, the embsrt go laid on the importation of tea by sea into Karopeao Russia was removed. Ttiia was a blow to tho Kiachta trade from which it hM never spppyerod) for it ?m found that the tea brought by lea tin London, Konigaberg or Hamburg could be laid down in tbo Kussluo marked at a considerably lower coat than oould the brick tea Imported orerland from Kiachta. Since that timo the Ktaokta trade baa beep eenhned to supply the demand for tea Id Siberia and the mora northern Provinces of Russia, and boa entirely ceaaod to compute with the sea-borne Voa in wtber markets o( the Empire. The tea imported via Kiachta is carried orerlund In the shape of bricka, which vary in also according to tbolr quality, front 13 inches , long, 61 Inches br?.ad, and II inches in-thickness, to si inebes long, 61 broad, and 1 of an ineb thick.

The brisks are then pilod up in sueh a way as ? to alia* free current of air t? oiroulato in and around them. M In this manner tbw. are dried in a place protected from the ray* of the sop."
