Tea. 
Indian. — Auctions included 42,500 packages, opposed to 48,900 
packages in the week previously, and 42,500 packages for the cor- 
responding time of 1900. , 
Bidding was brisker for all sorts, and though quotations for me- 
dium and tine were without material alteration, there was a firmer 
tone for the lower kinds, which were slightly dearer, there being 
very little Pekoe Souchong under 5 \d. per lbs. . 
The statistical position shows further improvement, deliveries ot 
all Tea from the 1st to the 17th instant being nearly r -i million lbs. 
over those of the same interval last year ; while the shortage in 
the supplies of British grown Tea is being more accentuated. 
The Regulating Committee has recommended that no Public 
Sales be held until Wednesday, 1st proximo., and Thursday, 2nd 
P For 36,900 packages on estate account 7^. per lb. was obtained, 
contrasted with 6%d. per lb. for 38,800 packages, and 8*rf. per lb. 
for 35,300 packages in the two preceding seasons.
