The firm tone lately noticed continues. All Teas with flavor and quality meet with good com- 
:ition, and in many ristances, command somewhat higher prices. 
Owing to the increasing Imports of both Indian and Ceylon Tea, it is proposed after the first 
ek in August to hod auctions of Indian Tea on Mondays and Wednesdays, and of Ceylon Tea 
Tuesdays ; sales of both descriptions being held on Thursdays only. 
The New Indian Teas were readily disposed of with general competition. The proportion of 
t season's Tea continues large for the time of year, and although offering excellent value meets 
h only indifferent attention from the trade.
