The total quantity brought to auction was considerably in excess of last week. The general 
one of the market is towards firmness and many improved quotations have resulted excepting for 
he poorer liquoring kinds. 
The figures given below showing the exports of Tea from Great Britain illustrate a satisfactory 
ncrease in the use of British grown Tea in foreign markets. In view of anticipated increased 
upplies from India and Ceylon during this and subsequent seasons such figures cannot but be of 
^reat and pleasing interest to those concerned in these industries. 
It will be observed that not only is there an increase in the total amount of Tea re-exported, 
)ut that this increase is made up entirely of Indian and Ceylon growths.
