The  direct  export  of  Tea  from  Ceylon  to  Foreign  Countries  was  more  important  in  1892  than 
~jl  1891,  aggregating  lbs.  6,221,766  against  lbs.  4,529,433  in  1891.  The  chief  increase  was  in 
, \ustralia  which  has  become  a most  promising  outlet  for  Ceylon  Tea.  Most  of  the  other  large 
narkets  received  the  bulk  of  their  supply  from  London. 
Owing  to  the  increase  in  this  branch  of  trade  the'  quantity  available  for  shipment  to  London  111 
[892  was  rather  below  that  of  i8gi.
