Tea Released From Bond In Indianapolis Warehouses
Six hundred cases of tea totaling about 30 000 pounds will be released from bond in government warehouses in the city today. The consignments go to wholesale grocers here after Congress repealed the 10 cent a pound duty with the rate to take effect January 1. Importers had rushed tea shipments to reach the United States by year end. A late session bill authorized free release of all warehoused tea on January 1, prompting wholesalers to run stocks low to maximize the benefit. Officials will keep the warehouses open to serve firms with stock.
