With Tea production continuing to increase in India and Ceylon, the expanding Home 
onsumption in this country, upon which we commented last week, is satisfactory. But the 
|[iportance of discovering fresh outlets is by no means lessened on that account. The work of 
Dening new markets was to some extent curtailed in the early part of this year, owing to the high 
.nge of prices then ruling ; but the lower rates which gradually became established, first for Ceylon, 
id then for Indian Teas, have induced demand from foreign markets. Exports have thus been 
')on a larger scale, and for the last of the three quarters noted in the following table, they show 
most encouraging increase over last year's figures. 
With prices of Indian and Ceylon Teas at their present low level, reason exists for hoping to 
a further recognition of the merits of these Teas, both in countries where they are now beginning 
gain popularity, and in other markets where as yet their qualities are comparatively unknown.

jYLON. Auctions were some 3,000 packages in excess of last week and passed with good 
it for all desirable kinds. Commonest liquoring Teas alone have given way about a halfpenn}- 
lb. The demand for high quality is stronger, and all parcels that approach this description are 
ily competed for at harder rates. Quality generally continues unaltered, arriv als from man}- 
.tes being very good. The following averages may be mentioned 
eathersett," 1/3-I ; " Frotoft," 1/2I; "Moray" and "Warwick," 1/2. 
V"AS were represented by only 608 packages, and of these not more than 499 were of direct
