A little more enquiry from the countr)', combined with moderate auctions, has tended to steady 
he market, and the sales have passed off with fair spirit at fully last week's rates. 
Home Consumption is going on satisfactorily, being a little ahead of last year to date, for 
he month, and the low range of prices current appears also to have causecj some demand for export. 
INDIAN. Less Tea has been catalogued, but the quality shows no improvement. Competition 
as been fairly active, but no advance can be quoted. Amongst the most desirable Teas offered, 
'ere invoices from the " Bamandanga " Estate of the Dooars T. Co., and from " Hukanpukri " 
rarden of the Jokai T. Co., 1/7! ; also " Chalouni," 1/2 ; and " Budla Beta, i/i^. 
"'RAVANCORK. The offerings from this district were important, some fifteen gardens being 
^presented. The quality without exception was very poor, and but low prices were consequently 
;alized.

Though the demand has improved and all good liquoring Teas have realized bettel" 
ices, the average for the week is the lowest which has been reached for a considerable period, 
lis is owmg to the large proportion of Teas with inferior leaf and liquor which have been brought to 
iction. No general advance in price can be anticipated until the quality improves, though fine 
voury Teas are badly wanted and the few offering realize extreme rates. "The following averages 
ly be mentioned : — " Pita Ratmalie," 1/2 ; " Goatfell," i/i ; " Chapelton," i/o-^.
