lbs., given in the January Board of Trade Returns as lying in the United Kingdom, is warehoused in Irish bonds; and what are the actual quantities lying in bond in Dublin and Belfast?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I have been asked to reply. The stock of tea in bonded warehouses, or entered to be warehoused, on the 31st January, 1922, in Ireland was 3,166,121 lbs., of which stock there were in Dublin 1,639,993 lbs., and in Belfast 438,960 lbs. The stock of tea in Dublin is partly estimated, the records being incomplete owing to the fire.
