Supplies  from  India  are  now  commencing  to  arrive  in  quantity.  The  landing  of  several  cargoes 
lag  the  last  few  days  has  induced  importers  to  catalogue  freely,  46,176  packages  already 
jig  offered  for  next  week.  Buyers  are  in  consequence  taking  a calmer  view  of  the  future,  and, 
Icipating  a more  ample  selection,  are  acting  with  caution. 
DIAN.  mst  week’s  prices  were  fully  maintained  in  Monday’s  auction,  but  the  large  catalogues 
ch  were  issued  during  the  week  induced  operators  to  bid  less  eagerly  on  Wednesday  and 
irsday,  when  a portion  of  the  late  advance  in  price  was  consequently  lost,  some  parcels  selling 
ularly  and  occasionally  at  a fractional  decline.  Quality  from  Assam  and  Darjeeling  continues 
sfactory.  Cachar  and  Sylhet  are  showing  further  signs  of  improvement,  Dooars  continuing 
end  a very  useful  selection.  The  heaviest  auction  yet  held,  viz.,  23,931  packages,  is  advertised 
next  Monday.  The  following  averages  are  worthy  of  note  : — “ Samdang,”  of  the  Doom  Dooma
