TEA GOING UP The unrest in India has caused is visiting more or less serious labor troubles on the tea plantations, and has resulted 'in the price of tea rising consistently 'for the past year. Between October | 1920 and to-day costs have advanced between 12 and 15 cents a pound. | As’ the crop is much less than esti- mated consumption this year, it 1s 'probable that the price will go still | higher.
