I It  is  satisfactory  to  be  able  to  report  that  the  Indian  Tea  industry  seems  at  length  in  a fair 
y to  be  adequately  represented  at  the  World’s  Fair  in  Chicago.  The  Special  Commissioner 
jpointed  by  the  Government  of  India  and  the  Tea  Planters,  left  England  this  week  lor  America. 
The  figures  below  show  the  exports  of  Indian  and  Ceylon  Tea  from  Great  Britain  to  the 
lited  States  of  America  during  the  first  six  months  of  1890,  1891  and  1892.  Although  the  high 
ces  ruling  in  the  first  six  months  of  1891  somewhat  checked  exports  from  Great  Britain,  the  low 
es  of  the  present  vear  have  acted  as  a stimulus  to  the  trade.

UDIAN.  2 ,795  packages  were  brought  forward  this  rveek  against  25,629  last  week.  Competi- 
n ran  mainly  upon  the  better  grades  of  Tea,  especially  those  where  the  liquors  stood  out  from 
ongst  the  rest  on  account  of  strength  or  flavour.  Medium  and  poor  liquoring  kinds  were  not  in 
ite  so  much  demand,  and  prices  ruled  with  some  slight  irregularity,  undesirable  kinds  being 
0 somewhat  neglected,  and  fractional lv  easier.  Several  invoices  from  Assam  and  Darjeeling 
ve  sold  at  good  rates  and  the  quality  from  these  districts  continues  satisfactory,

voices  which  stand  out  from  the  remainder  on  account  of  special  point  and  lavour.  The  market 
R not  materially  changed;  good  Teas  are  however  in  most  demand  and  slight}  dearer,  while  poor 
juoring  descriptions  are  less  enquired  for,  and  have  sold  occasionally  with  sone  little  irregularity,
