THE COLOMBO TEA SALES AND ESTATE 
AVJSEAGES FOR 1902. 
ADVANCE IN QUANTITY AND SOME 
RECOVERY IN PRICE. 
Recently we gave the total quantity of tea 
sold in the weekly auctions in Colombo during 
1902 on account of estates which support the 
local market. Below will be found the details ; and 
this time another advxnce in number of marks 
and quantity is recorded. The names dealt with 
number 505. We began these yearly averages 
in 1894 when 90 estates only had to be dealt with. 
High Forest stood first for 1900 and 
Naseby for 1901, both with 59 cents; but for 1902 
there is no stand-oub figure like that. The fol- 
lowing is the formidable list ; and, as a sign of 
the times, and of the growing importance of the 
Oolofnbo market as a distributing centre for the 
whole world, it may be mentioned tliat a rumour 
exists that a large London firm of brokers is 
shorlly opening a Colombo branch :—
