[ The  action  taken  by  the  Tea  Planting  community  in  India  increases  the  probability  that  a 
- ling  exhibition  of  Indian  Tea  will  eventually  be  made  at  the  World’s  Fair  in  Chicago. 
| The  importance  of  making  the  most  of  this  opportunity  to  foster  a taste  for  British  Grown  Tea 
America  cannot  be  overrated — especially  now  that  the  industry  appears  to  have  taken 
_ 4nite  root  in  that  country,  and  only  to  require  to  be  carefully  tended  to  insure  ultimate  success. 
“The  development  which  has  recently  taken  place  in  the  export  of  Indian  and  Ceylon  Tea  from 
1 reat  Britain,  is  perhaps  not  fully  appreciated,  and  it  may  be  well  to  draw  attention  to  the  fact  that 
aring  the  past  five  months,  3,220,710  lbs.  were  re-exported  against  only  1,514,413  lbs.  in  the 
sponding  period  of  1891. 
.This  outlet  ma}r  eventually  afford  considerable  relief  to  a market  likely  to  be  heavily  supplied 
|e  near  future. 
IAN.  There  is  a general  disinclination  on  the  part  of  buyers  to  operate,  and  the  market  has 
Insequence  been  on  the  decline  except  for  “ stand  out  ” Teas.  2,627  packages  of  New  Season’s 
brought  forward  and  sold  at  rates  nearly  a penny  below  last  week.  Poorer  quality  was  noticed 
an  many  invoices.  The  following  averages  are  worthy  of  note: — “ Mim  Co.,”  1/5J  ; “Assam
