I The  statistical  position  at  the  close  of  last  month  exhibits  many  interesting  features.  Taking 
■“supply”  figures; — Indian  Imports  for  the  first  two  months  of  the  season  show  only  half  a 
ion  increase  over  those  of  last  year,  whilst  the  exports  from  Calcutta  for  the  season  to  date,  as 
vised  by  wire,  show  an  actual  decrease,  the  exact  figures  being  18,080,000  lbs.,  against  18,830,000  lbs. 
1 The  Ceylon  Imports  last  month  were  practical!}'  the  same  as  in  July,  1891,  and  the  shipments 
)m  Colombo  are  advised  as  only  a trifle  over  six  millions,  being  half  a million  less  than  in  July  last 
ar.  Since  the  1st  January,  the  increase  in  the  imports  of  Ceylon  Tea  is  about  millions  corn- 
red  with  the  first  seven  months  of  last  year.  As  the  supplies  for  the  United  Kingdom  for 
current  year  were  estimated  to  show  an  increase  of  14  millions  over  those  of  1891,  some 
Inormally  large  imports  will  have  to  be  received  during  the  remaining  five  months  of  the  year  if 
I is  to  be  reached.  There  is,  however,  but  little  probability  of  the  estimated  figures  being 
Stained,  and  buyers  may  in  consequence  gain  confidence. 
China  Imports  show  a decrease  which  is  warranted  by  the  further  contracted  use  of  this  article. 
As  regards  consumption,  Indian  figures  show  satisfactory  increases,  while  the  deliveries  of 
e|lon  Tea  during  July  were  the  largest  on  record. 
j,  Referring  to  stocks,  it  is  a curious  fact  that  the  total  amount  of  Tea  lying  at  the  bonded  ware- 
uses  is  now  smaller  than  it  has  been  at  the  end  of  Julv  for  seven  years. 
flDIAN.  A small  sale  was  held  yesterday  and  comprised  many  useful  liquoring  and  fine 
cels  ; the  quality  generally  shows  signs  of  improvement.  Demand  was  fairly  strong  and  late 
:es  were  maintained  all  through  the  sale.  Two  parcels  from  the  Assam  Frontier  Co.’s  Estates
