Green Teas. Pinganoys.-The settlements of good quality Tens show n strong market with a tendency to advance, but buyers are cautious when dealing with any Tens at all doubtful. A few sales of Tons shipped to New York on native account are reported at satisfactory prices.
Country Teas.--'l'he demand for shipment to the United States has slackenol considerably, but our market has been supported to some extent by buying for England consequent on the news received of lavourable results of a few early chops. Finest Teas show a decline of Tael S to Taels 5 ou offers once refused, but it is difficult to cal slate the difference in laying down cost owing to the fluctuation in exchange. Medium and fine Teas are also ensier in tacls prices, but common qualities continue firm. Local packs have been taken at full prices consilering their poor quality. Supplies of Contry Teis and Local packs have already excended the total yield of last season by 17,00 half-chests, and it is almost impossible to find out from native sources how much more is available. Receipts after this date last season were 24,001 half-chests, Our estimate of 200,000 half-chests for total supplies of Country Teus and Local packs together is likely to be within the mark by a few thousand half chests. The quality of late arrivals, especial ly of the Moyunes, is fully up to that of averago seasons, but there is a noticeable sameness in the grade, very few of the chops rising above medium. quality. Hysons.-There is no demand for ship. ment to Bombay. A few parcels of "choicest have been settled at full Prices-Taels 18 being the highest quotation. All other qualities are quiet, and the stocks of medium to fine in Ten- men's hands ace unusally large. There is no pressure to sell and reasonable offers are generally refused.
