The first cargo of New Season's China Tea ex S.S. " Moyune," is expected to be on the market 
uring the course of to-day. It is too early 3^et to speak positi\-ely as to the character of the Teas, 
r their reception by the trade. 
The deliveries of all Teas during the month of June have been exceptionally heavy for the time of 
ear and it is evident that the lower prices recently current for Indian and Ceylon Teas have had a 
larked effect upon consumption whether in this Country or in foreign markets. 
NDIAN. The very small auctions which consisted both of new and old season's Teas passed 
ithout material change in valuations. Wherever good quality could be discerned in the new arrivals 
idding was brisk and fair prices were obtainable, but amongst old seasons Teas bidding lacked 
tiimation wherever the Teas were wanting in point or character.

lElTLiOiN. Auctions comprised only about half the quantity brought forward last week 
;quently a rather firmer market was natural, but no advance has taken place in quotations of any 
ascriptions except those Teas where special pomt can be discerned in liquor. Only small 
ictions are so far advertised for next week. Quotations for commonest kinds are weak, but for all 
her descriptions competition was very strong at last week's rates. The following averages may be 
entioned : — " Chapelton " and " Koti3-agalla," ii-}d ; "Columbia," " Glassaugh " and "Sheen," 
J-d. Average for week, 9^d.

tract less attention and poorest liquoring descriptions are difficult to sell, several parcels have in 
nsequence been withdrawn from sale for higher prices,
