cent low quotations. Exports of both Indian and Ceylon Tea from Great Britain, during the last 
K months of 1891, were greatly in excess of those between January and June, when prices were 
uch higher.

NDIAN. Very little change can be recorded in the market. Auctions have been characterized 
f general firmness, all grades selling steadily at prices fully up to last week's rates. The quality 
some of the " Darjeeling " Teas recently arrived shows improvement, and high prices have been 
xasionallv paid in consequence. At Thursday's sale good liquoring Teas were in very strong 
smand. The following averages are worthy of note : — " Majuli T Co. M," 1/4! ; " Darjeeling T 
o. G," 1/4; " Balasun " and " Goomtee," i/3f.
