The  Times  in  a recent  article  upon  “ Indian  Affairs,”  remarks  : — 
“The  Indian  Tea  Planters  are  at  last  taking  active  steps  to  have  their  industry  properly  represented  at  the 
Chicago  Exhibition."  “The  experience  of  the  past  few  )?ears  has  convinced  them  that  the  production  of 
Indian  Tea  is  increasing  at  a rate  which  imperatively  requires  that  new  markets  shall  be  opened  for  its 
consumption." 
The  article  appeared  on  the  2nd  June,  and  contains  matter  of  considerable  interest  to  the  Tea 
Planting  community. 
It  is  satisfactory  to  note  that  re-exports  of  Indian  and  Ceylon  Tea,  both  to  the  United  States 
and  to  Canada,  show  encouraging  progress.

INDIAN.  The  quantity  of  New  Season’s  Tea  brought  to  auction,  2,052  pkgs.  comprised 
Invoices  from  Darjeeling,  Terai,  Dooars  and  Assam.  The  quality  on  the  whole  was  decidedly 
satisfactory  and  from  some  estates  excellent  ; a few  invoices  however,  were  disappointing  in  liquor. 
Competition  for  both  New  and  Old  Season’s  Teas,  except  the  few  choicest  lines,  was  languid,  and 
the  market  must  be  quoted  easier  for  all  descriptions.  The  following  averages  are  worthy  of  note: — 
“ Mim  T Co.,”  1/10  ; “ Assam  Frontier  T Co.,”  1/3  ; “ Margaret’s  Hope  ” and  “ Tukvar,”  1/2J.
