Except that low prices appear to be forcing Indian and Ceylon Teas into consumption both at 
ome and abroad, statistics for the past month call for no special comment. 
Deliveries of British Grown Tea exceed any previous record, except during Budget excitement. 
!hina deliveries are poor in spite of reduced prices. 
N"DIAN. With another week of heavy auctions the prolonged strain has somewhat depressed the 
larket, causing irregular quotations and a further drop in price for poorer grades. Calcutta tele- 
rams report an early closing of the season owing to want of rain, and give a reduced estimate of 
08 to 110 million pounds for the season, available for London. The following averages are worthy
