The  progress  of  the  General  Election  has  continued  to  engross  the  attention  of  the  trade  and 
the  Country  at  large.  The  demand  has  been  of  a hand-to-mouth  description,  the  trade  only  buying 
for  immediate  or  urgent  requirements  ; hence  the  small  supplies  brought  forward  proved  ample. 
g The  remarkable  displacement  of  China  Tea  by  Indian  and  Ceylon  growths  indicated  in  the 
.following  figures  shows  the  continued  popularity  of  British  grown  Tea  in  this  country.  It  must  be 
Remembered  that  the  price  of  China  Tea  during  the  periods  named  declined  proportionately  to 
flat  of  Indian  and  Ceylon  Tea.

INDIAN,  The  feature  of  the  week  has  been  the  increased  attention  given  to  good  and  useful 
of  all  grades.  On  the  other  hand  poor  liquoring  parcels  have  failed  to  attract 
Jtention  notwithstanding  that  prices  have  shown  a cheapening  tendency.  The  quality  generally  is 
^appointing,  as  the  first  few  invoices  of  the  season  placed  on  the  market  gave  promise  of  better 
leas  to  come ; telegraphic  advices  received  this  week  from  Calcutta,  however,  intimate  an 
fprovement  in  the  quality  of  the  Teas  arriving  there  from  the  gardens.

pressing  supplies  forward  at  a time  when 
iyers  have  not  been  operating  with  freedom.  Prices  current  last  week  have  consequentlv  been 
aintained,  and  the  slackness  in  the  bidding  then  noticeable  has  to  a large  extent  disappeared, 
lie  quality  of  the  Teas,  though  not  good,  is  quite  up  to  that  usually  received  at  this  time  of  the 
ar ; it  is  certainly  better  than  it  was  at  this  period  three  years  ago,  when  it  will  be  remembered 
Stations  ruled  nearly  as  low  as  at  present,  the  average  then  being  about  8fd.,  against  the  present 
erage  of  8|-d.  Latest  mail  news  from  Ceylon  notifies  that  rain  was  much  wanted  in  many  parts, 
le  “ total  crop  ” estimate  is  reduced  to  72  millions  for  this  country,  of  which  about  34  had  been 
upped  up  to  20th  June.  The  June  shipments  to  this  country  are  stated  by  wire  to  have  been 
out  7 millions,  and  are  estimated  as  but  little  over  6 millions  for  this  month.
