It would appear from the above that quantity- 

 producing districts have again benefited to a 

 much greater extent than those whose aim is 

 quality. The comparative scarcity of fine tea from 

 Assam and the larger crops gathered in some 

 parts of Darjeeling at the expense of flavor, 

 have had some effect on the season's averages of 

 these two districts. Good tea has been wanted 

 throughout the season and supply has as a 

 rule been insufficient to meet demand with the 

 result that remunerative averages have always 

 been forthcoming ; at the same time it is pro- 

 bable that the unusually high basis of value 

 which has ruled for common aud medium teas 

 has enabled those who produce these to show 

 even better results than others whose first con- 

 sideration has been quality, and it is not im- 

 probable that a continuance of present market 

 conditions will tend still more to the sacrifice of 

 quality, for quantity on some gardens were 

 hitherto the reverse has been the case.

In addition to the above about half-a-million 

 lb. have been sent by rail to Bombay and an ap- 

 preciable quantity has been taken from the Cal- 

 cutta Auctions for consumption in this country, 

 for of the 78 millions which have been marked 

 locally only 71 millions are shewn in figures sup- 

 plied by the Port Authorities as having been 

 exported. 



United Kingdom figures include 4 million lb. 

 the destination of which was not London but 

 various coast ports. 



In reviewing the above figures the most note- 

 worthy feature is the very marked shrinkage in 

 the direct exports to Russia, shipments to this 

 country more particularly via far Eastern ports 

 have steadily declined in comparison with the 

 previous season's record, and this has been 

 materially augmented by a very considerable 

 falling-off in shipments to Hankow ; the revo- 

 lution in China which has led to the overthrow of 

 the Manchu Dynasty, resulted during October
