CEYLON.  Firmness  throughout  the  sales,  with  well  distributed  competition,  has  been  the  main 
hture.  Prices  have  decidedly  hardened  in  spite  ol  the  larger  quantity  brought  forward,  and  some 
slight  advance  has  taken  place  in  all  grades,  the  improvement  being  also  reflected  in  the  week’s 
iiverage,  which  stood  at  nd.,  as  against  iofd.  last  week,  and  gjd.  for  the  same  week  last  year.
