I The  increase  in  the  season’s  crop  of  Indian  and  Ceylon  Tea  is  likely’  to  be  less  than  was  at  one 
|e  expected,  and  the  anticipated  danger  of  over-supply  appears  to  have  been  averted. 
The  great  displacement  of  China  by  British-Grown  Tea — so  conspicuous  this  year,  is  not 
nlikely  to  necessitate  a still  more  general  use  of  the  latter  growths,  a probability  emphasized  by  the 
1 itisfactory  deliveries  during  August. 
' INDIAN.  The  week’s  selection  again  included  a good  proportion  of  fine  Teas  from  Assam  and 
I grjeeling.  These  continue  to  attract  attention  and  realize  high  prices.  Generally  speaking,  the 
irket  remains  unchanged  with  good  competition.  The  following  averages  are  worthy  of  note  : —
