-INDIAN.  Many  Invoices  now  coming  forward  have  an  autumnal  flavor.  Less  disposition  to 
-support  late  rates  has  resulted  in  a weaker  market.  Broken  Pekoes  at  about  nd.  were  somewhat 
-neglected,  and  sold  at  easier  rates.  Demand  for  the  lower  grades  was  decidedly  less  keen,  and 
■quotations  for  these  must  in  consequence  be  reduced  by  fully  a farthing.
