ice  the  commencement  of  the  season,  as  against  1,161,796  packages  during  the  same  period  of 
$t  season.  101  gardens  have  now  sold  their  closing  invoices,  as  against  99  to  the  same  date  last 
:ar. 
Printing  since  Christmas  has  not  been  carried  on  quite  as  freely  as  last  year,  doubtless  owing  in 
eat  measure  to  the  comparative  slackness  of  trade  during  the  earlier  months  of  this  year. 
Of  Ceylon  Tea,  658,168  packages  have  been  brought  to  auction  to  date  this  season,  against 
3,013  during  the  same  period  of  last  season,  the  arrivals  to  the  end  of  February  having  been 
ther  smaller.
