THE TROPICAL AGRICUI-TURIST. 
[April 1, 1901. 
TEA SALES IN COLOMBO LAST YEAR. 
The local "Times" has been compiling 
the estate and total averages for last year's 
Colombo Sales. On the whole, the result is 
encouraging for supporters of the Colombo 
Sales, and we trust the <iay is not far distant 
when through the abolition of the absurdly 
anomalous import duty (accompaniec' by 
expert Customs inspection) the business and 
importance of the local Sales may increase, 
leading to the arrival of more buyers to 
what ought to be one of the greatest tea 
markets in the world. Meantime here are 
the results : —
