On  the  whole,  considering  the  larger  quantities  (than  a week  previously)  that  have  been  placed 
on  the  market,  prices  have  remained  fairly  steady.  The  general  feature  which  it  is  desirable  to  keep 
inview  at  the  present  time  is  the  satisfactory  development  of  American  and  Continental  demand. 
M For  the  six  months  to  June  30th,  1892,  the  quantities  of  India,  Ceylon  and  China  Teas,  exported 
|m  Great  Britain,  have  increased  at  the  following  percentage  rates  : — 
Indian  ....  633  per  cent. 
Ceylon  ....  105  ,,  ,, 
China  ....  12  ,,  ,, 
This  indicates  that  the  expansion  in  foreign  consumption  of  British  Grown  Teas  continues  at  a 
lost  remarkable  rate,  as  shown  by  the  following  figures 
[ Exports  of  Indian  and  Ceylon  Tea  from  Great  Britain  during  June  were  Indian,  lbs.  184,553, 
[eylon,  lbs.  303,885  ; against  Indian,  lbs.  221,132,  Ceylon,  lbs.  316,682  in  June  last  year.

which  this  week  have  been  in  large  supply',  met 
ith  a slow  demand  and  prices  show  in  some  cases  a further  shrinkage  though  not  to  a quotable 
Kent;  strong  and  fine  Teas  have  been  wanted  but  are  scarce.  On  the  day  the  largest  business  of 
eweek  was  transacted,  some  four  or  five  parcels  sold  from  2/6  to  3/-  per  lb.

The  larger  sale  on  Tuesday  attracted  attention  and  bidding  was  brisker  than  for 
me  two  or  three  wreeks  back,  prices  though  showing  no  actual  advance,  ruled  with  firmness.  A 
iv  of  the  finer  lines,  however,  realized  advanced  rates.  Tire  business  of  the  week  has  been  21,561 
ickages  against  11,228  for  the  previous  week.  Towards  the  end  of  the  week  the  better  tone 
;ain  disappeared  and  the  market  closes  weak-  the  average  price  being  but  little  more  than  8d. 
rib.,  a fractional  decline  on  last  week.
