The first New Season's China Teas were offered last Friday. They are generally considered to 
I of fair qualit}' and flavor, but lacking in strength. Some high bids ranging up to 3/- per lb., 
ive been registered, mostly for export. The market has quieted since then and business 
now slow, and sales difficult to effect. 
N"DIA.M. This is the first week in which New arrivals were sufliciently extensive to afford a 
St of the market. Prices have been weak and irregular, dealers preferring to await the arrival of 
tter liquoring Teas. Quality generally has so far been very similar to early arrivals last season. 
Average price of New Season's Teas sold on Garden Account, Total 7,660 pkgs. average 9Jd.
