Tn considering the deliveries for March it must be borne in mind that Easter fell in that month 
1st year, also that the value of such Teas as constitute the bulk of the Home Consumption was 
hen very much higher than at present. Even taking these circumstances into account, deliveries 
lave proved exceptional, and clearly illustrate the effect of prolonged low rates in forcing Indian and 
"eylon Tea into consumption. The monthly deliveries of Indian Tea have on only three occasions 
xceeded those for March. Deliveries of Ceylon Tea during the past nine months almost equal the 
nusually heavy imports.
