The late depression in prices has doubtless to a large extent been caused b}^ the very inferior 
ass of Tea received from the producing Countries during the last two or three months. 
There is now a large demand for useful liquoring Teas of all grades to be satisfied and the 
rival of a few ships bringing improved quality has had a salutary effect on the Indian Tea market. 
^TDIAN. For all the better liquoring descriptions competition continues strong, and good New 
sasons Teas are in active demand at advancing rates. Amongst the most desirable invoices 
fering those from the jokai Co., Ld., commanded the best attention, the Teas from their 
Hukanpukri " Division realising exceptionally high prices, and as much as 4/8 per lb. was paid 
r a fair sized parcel; the average for this invoice was 2/4J. Other averages such as i/5| for 
Tukvar Co. ; 1/4^ for " Kalej " ; and 1/3 for " Putharjhora" are worthy of note.

K. SOUG. (Blackish greyish, inferior liquor) 
KOE. (Blackish, greyish, some tip, inferior liquor) 
TIjON. The late scarcity of fine and good medium Teas has had a decided eft'ect on prices, 
1 the few lots possessing flavor and quality sold at an advance of from id. to 2d. per lb. On the 
er hand common liquoring descriptions could only be disposed of at a further concession in price, 
e following averages may be mentioned: — " Goatfell," 1/3 J ; " Bogawantalawa," i/2f; 
Lotiyagalla,'' i/if ; " Glendevon " of the OBEC i/ii ; " Calsay " i/i ; and " Invery " of
