r As will be seen from the figures given below the deliveries of all Teas during last month show 
satisfactory increase over those of the corresponding period last 3'ear. 
By wire we learn that the export from Calcutta during August was about 14 million lbs., and that 
Dm Ceylon a little over 4J million lbs. against 6J millions for June and a little over 5J millions 
r July. 
The improved quality in the bulk of the offerings noticed last v/eek has been 
aintained ; man}^ excellent invoices have been offered and some high quotations recorded. During 
je last day or so some irregularity has been noticeable in the bidding for Teas over i/- per lb., and 
many instances the best prices of last week have scarcely been realised. Teas with useful 
uors under lod. per lb. have well maintained their prices. The following averages are worthy of 
te : — " Hukanpukri," of the Jokai T Co., 2/4^ ; " Dooteriah," 2/0J ; and " Moabund T Co.," 1/6J. 
This weeks average price of New Season's Teas sold on Garden Account. Total 20,867 pkgs. average lid.

The market just now is in a very sensitive position and it is principally a matter of 
ality that will rule prices in the immediate future ; unless the Teas very shortly improve a 
ther fall will doubtless take place as buyers are fully stocked with the class of Tea that has been 
sring for some two or three months past. The demand for good medium and fine descriptions is 
very strong, dealers having little or none of these classes ni hand. The .17,782 packages 
)ught to auction on Tuesday last were offered in 722 lots. At the risk of repetition we must 
dn impress upon producers the fact that it is impossible for bm^ers to value so many breaks in 
da}^ The following averages may be mentioned : — " Bogawantalawa," " Glendevon," of the 
3EC., and " Portswoocl," 1/3!-. Average for the week under 9,id. 
.VA. There were only 899 packages offered, these were from the " Parakan Salak," "Tjiomas," 
. " Tjikembang " estates, the latter being grown from x\ssam seed. Some of the Teas from the 
"jiomas " estate, regilized high prices, as much as 3/4 being paid for a little lot of Flowery Pekoe.
