General  slackness  of  trade,  the  varied  influences  occasioning  it,  and  the  continued  high  prices 
f the  lower  grades  of  Tea  are  all  reflected  in  the  somewhat  disappointing  Tea  deliveries  for  April, 
tfll,  though  clearances  now  and  again  fall  off  for  a month  or  two,  there  is  undoubted  testimony 
> gradual  and  steady  expansion  in  the  liquid  consumption  of  Tea  in  the  United  Kingdom.  With 
togress  being  made  in  foreign  markets,  there  seems  little  danger  of  over-supply  in  the  near  future. 
NDIAN.  The  market  has  been  full}"  supplied,  and  with  rather  less  demand,  prices  occasionally 
ightly  favored  buyers.
