INDIAN. Great uncertainty exists amongst buj'ers as to the probable course of the market 
hiring the next few months and prices during the w^eek have been irregular except where the 
iquors have possessed, any special point and character. This uneasy- feeling has doubtless been 
aused by the greatly increased estimate of crop as given by the Indian Tea Association in 
"alcutta at the outset of the season, and by the exceptional^ early arrival of the crop in quantity, 
udging from figures which we have obtained, giving actual production to the 31st ultimo as wired by 
aany of the representative estates in each of the producing districts, the yield to that date — say for 
wo thirds of the manufacturing season — shows an increase of only 7% to 8% as against an estimated 
ncrease of about 13% all round.

DEYLON. Supplies this week have shown a material decrease and the attei 
n consequence been more concentrated ; hence a steadier tone has prevailed hi the auctions and 
here is more regularit}' in prices. The presence of man}' improved invoices has also helped to 
timulate the demand, and man}- of the higher quotations recorded are attributable entireh' to this 
ause. Average for the week g^d. 
"AVA. All the Teas brought to auction were from the 
seful characteristics and were well competed for both bv the home and foreign trades.
