I Deliveries  during  November  were  good,  especially  those  of  Indian,  which  are  above  any  pre- 
iousIv  recorded,  except  those  immediately  following  the  reduction  of  the  duty  in  May,  1890. 
INDIAN.  The  Market  has  steadied,  and  all  Auctions  throughout  the  week  have  ruled  with 
onsiderable  firmness.  No  doubt  last  week’s  drop  has  induced  operators  to  take  advantage  of  the 
mewhat  lower  prices.  Competition  has  in  consequence  been  general  and  animated,  and  although 
■ positive  advance  can  be  quoted,  the  tone  of  the  market  has  become  much  stronger. 
; Recent  arrivals  have  not  shown  the  satisfactory  quality  of  several  weeks  back,  although,  taken 
ksa  whole,  the  crop  has  so  far  proved  better  than  last  season,  and  somewhat  above  the  average. 
[This  is  especially  the  case  with  Assam,  where  the  crop  has  been  noticeable  for  unusual  strength 
lid  quality.  Dooars,  Cachar  and  Sylhet  compare  very  favourably  with  Teas  from  these  districts 
list  season,  when  the  quality  was  exceptionally  poor.
