Supplement  to  » CEYLON  OBSERVER.” 
NEW  MARKETS  FOR  BRITISH  GROWN  TEA. 
Dear  Sirs, 
The  crop  of  Indian  and  Ceylon  Tea  for  the  coining  season  may  be 
estimated  in  round  numbers  at  about  210  million  lbs.  Of  this  quantity  it  is  a sanguine 
forecast  to  suppose  Great  Britain  will  consume  more  than  170  million  lbs. 
The  object  of  this  circular  is  to  draw  attention  to  foreign  markets,  in  the 
hope  that  a great  portion  of  the  remaining  40  million  lbs.  mav  be  absorbed  by  them,  and 
that  by  this  means  a further  shrinkage  in  prices  may  be  avoided. 
13,  Rood  Lane,  London,  E.C.,  May,  1892. 
We  are,  Dear  Sirs, 
Yours  faithfully, 
GOW,  WILSON  & STANTON, 
Tea  Brokers. 
Indian  and  Ceylon  Tea  taken  in  principal  Markets  outside  Great  Britain  during  1891.

Each  square  represents  50,000  lbs.  Tea,  Indian  being  shown  in  ml,  and  Ceylon  in  yellow. 
During  last  year  about  twenty  million  pounds  of  Indian  and  Ceylon  Tea  were 
taken  by  countries  outside  Great  Britain.  India  contributed  about  thirteen  million  of 
this  amount  and  Ceylon  about  seven. 
The  quantity  taken  in  i8go  was  only  about  fourteen  million  pounds,  being  nine 
million  of  Indian,  and  five  of  Ceylon. 
The  annual  consumption  of  all  Tea  in  Great  Britain  amounts  to  200,000,000  lbs., 
and  in  outside  markets  (excluding  Tea-producing  countries)  reaches  some  250,000,000  lbs.
