BOW,  WILSON  k STANTON’S  INDIAN,  CEYLON,  AND  JAVA  TEA  REPORT, 
13,  Rood  Lane,  London,  E.C. 
April  jth , 1893. 
The  Market  has  remained  closed,  so  far  as  Public  Sales  are  concerned,  during  the  whole  of  this 
eek.  It  re-opens  for  Indians  on  Monday,  and  Ceylons  on  Tuesday  next. 
Deliveries  of  all  Tea  during  March  are  disappointing,  being  a natural  reflection  of  the  extremely 
all  condition  lately  prevailing  in  the  Tea  trade  generally  throughout  the  Kingdom. 
Exports  to  the  end  of  March  from  Calcutta  to  the  United  Kingdom  are  telegraphed  as  106 
iillion  pounds  as  against  nearly  no  million  pounds  for  the  same  period  of  last  season. 
The  export  from  Ceylon  to  the  United  Kingdom  during  March  is  telegraphed  as  about 
000,000  lbs.,  and  the  estimate  for  April  is  7,000,000  lbs. 
We  print  with  this  circular  a table,  which  shows  the  Home  Consumption  of  Tea  in  Great 
ritain  during  each  year  since  1866.  The  consumption  of  Indian  Tea  is  specified  from  that  date 
id  of  Ceylon  Tea  from  the  year  1885.  The  average  consumption  of  all  Tea  per  head  of  population 
. each  year  is  also  shown.
