For the time of year the market continues steady and bidding generally is animated, although 
we are approaching so closely the end of the present month, when dealers frequently endeavour to 
jarry a minimum of stock. 
The first cargo of new season tea from China is expected to reach London this day week; but 
jvery little interest centres on New Season's China Tea when compared with the excitement of a few 
■rears back. Now that barely 30% of China Tea is taken for home consumption it is natural that Indian 
md Ceylon Tea absorb the greatest share of the attention of the trade, and that even the quality of 
:he new China crop should excite comparatively little interest. 
[NDIAN. Auctions have been slightly heavier and comprised a fair number of New Season's 
Teas. The quality of these still continues about as previously noticed. The market shows little 
alteration, and bidding has been fairly brisk up to last week's rates. The following averages are 
worthy of note :— " Mim T Co.," i/i|; "Jetookiah," " Jetookiah, M.," and " Singtom," 11 id.

,11 grades, except the very commonest kinds, sold well. Pekoe Souchongs were firm, Medium 
3rokens slightly dearer, and the few Teas where distinctive liavour could be noticed, again showed an 
dvance. Thursday's auction passed at Tuesday's rates with good competition. Speaking 
enerally, the quality continues poor, liquors in many instances being very weak, and dry leaf brownish, 
agged and uneven. The following averages may be mentioned : — " Ouvahkellie," 1/2I ; " Frotoft," 
/21 ; " Mooloya " and " Portswood," i/oir. 
average for week, g^d. 
AVAS were offered in considerable quantity and sold chiefly at firm prices. The lowest grades 
ttracted least attention but sold without material change, while better descriptions, especially 
'ekoes, were keenly competed for, principally for export markets. An invoice from the " Bagelen '' 
".state, comprising 1,165 packages, realised an average of yld. 
.verage for week, 7|d.
