CEYLON.  With  small  visible  supplies  in  the  near  future,  and  present  deliveries  considerably 
seeding  imports,  it  was  natural  that  competition  should  have  been  very  keen.  Prices  were  very 
prong  and  many  Teas  showed  a further  advance  upon  last  week’s  rates,  more  especially  the  lower 
, rades  of  useful  liquoring  Teas.  Average  for  week  iojd.,  against  over  iod.  for  same  week  last  year.
