This  week  has  been  devoted  to  the  General  Election,  throughout  the  Kingdom  as  well  as  in  the 
Metropolis  itself.  Business  has  therefore  been  restricted,  and  the  Tea  trade  has  participated  in  the 
predominant  slackness. 
The  arrival  of  the  first  steamer  with  New  Season’s  China  Tea  failed  to  enliven  the  market, 
and  contracts  were  only  effected  with  difficulty.  The  quality  of  Teas  so  far  arrived  may  be  judged 
bv  the  low  prices  obtained,  ranging  from  under  6d.  to  about  1/3  per  lb.,  although  in  an  exceptional 
ase  about  2/-  is  reported  to  have  been  paid.  It  seems  unlikely  that  the  New  China  Crop  will 
irove  a formidable  rival  to  British  Grown  Tea. 
Figures  for  the  month  of  June  again  show  a marked  reduction  in  deliveries  of  China  Tea. 
NDIAN.  The  small  auctions  passed  without  material  change  in  quotations,  the  tendency  being 
:owards  rather  lower  rates  except  for  specially  attractive  parcels.  A small  lot  of  Orange  Pekoe 
'rom  the  Assam  Frontier  Tea  Co.  sold  at  2/6^  per  lb.
