For the Australian trade Nos. 1, 2, and 3, should

a few boxes of 11 lb. and some of the pekoe in 
quarter- chests of 20 lb. nett. 
Teas of above character would soon take well in 
the colonies.

For the Australian trade Nos. 4, 5. and 6 are alto- 
gether too large in the leaf, but if these teas were 
passed through a cutting machine and mixed with 
some of Nos. 1 and 3 we think it would make a 
suitable tea for the Colonies packed in 38 lb. nett 
half-chests.

M. Underfermentcd tea, pretty small even blackish

flavour, fermentation correct, value per lb, in bond 2s 6d. 
The teas are too good for Australian trade, the 
quality of the whole of them being very superior. 
L Congou is rather too large in the leaf to sell with 
us, but H I K and M would take well if packed 
in 38 lb. nett packages, perhaps a few quarter 20 lb 
and boxes 10 1b.

The above teas would fetch very high prices on the 
Londoo market, the quality all round being unusually 
good, leaf and liquor leave really nothing to be desired. 
The rates obtainable here at present would be un- 
remunerative, I fear. Sample marked M underfermented 
is exceptionally good, the liquor and colour of out- 
turn are as near perfection as possible.

3. Souchong, rather large blackish leaf their flavours 
Is 4d. 
4. Unassorted, large rather leafy blackish coarse 
burnt Is 2d. 
For the Australian trade we require a tea like No. 
2, with a better liquor, packed in 38 lb. nett half 
chests, leaf rather too large of No. 3, and altogether 
so in No. 4, moderate quantities of No. 1 would sell 
if quality brought down a little to sell it at 2 s to 2s 3d.
