f Deliveries  of  Indian  and  Ceylon  Tea  since  the  1st  June  show  million  pounds  increase  over 
tsame  period  last  season,  and  China  Teas  a decrease  of  about  5f  million  pounds. 
IJDIAN.  Auctions  have  been  rather  heavier  and  have  passed  generally  with  fair  spirit  at  last 
ek’s  rates,  the  chief  alteration  being  a slight  hardening  in  quotations  of  the  lower  grades  of 
*eful  liquoring  Teas  and  some  weakness  in  tippy  Teas  over  1 /-  where  the  liquors  were  not  specially 
tractive.  Quality  from  Assam  and  Darjeeling  continues  excellent  and  some  good  Teas  have  also 
an  offered  from  “ Cachar  ” and  “ Sylhet.”
