Deliveries  in  October  were  satisfactory  and  appear  to  have  suffered  only  a slight  check  through 
le  high  prices  which  have  ruled  throughout  the  month.  From  the  commencement  of  the  season 
jdian  imports  are  slightly  in  excess  of  last  year,  Ceylons  being  a little  below. 
NDIAN.  Auctions  have  been  heavy,  totalling  45,638  packages.  Prices  were  fairly  well  main- 
lined for  Teas  under  iod.,  but  above  this  figure  much  irregularity  was  noticeable,  some  whole  leaf 
eas  showing  as  much  as  a penny  per  lb.  decline.

This  week’s  auction  was  the  smallest  which  has  been 
held 
since  the  week  ending 
November  14th,  1890.,  and  comprised  only  6,922  packages.  Bidding  was  naturally  very  animated, 
and  the  small  quantity  was  readily  absorbed  at  rates  which  show  some  hardening  upon  last  week’s 
Juices.  Hardly  anything  in  whole  leaf  can  now  be  obtained  under  8jd.,  and  Teas  for  price  continue 
[very  firm.  Exports  to  Great  Britain  from  Ceylon  during  October  were  slightly  over  lbs.  4,000,000, 
those  for  November  being  estimated  at  about  lbs.  4,500,000. 
The  average  lor  the  week  is  over  njd.,  against  gfd.  for  the  corresponding  week  last  year.
