not great Country Tea.--During the fortnight mnder review the majority of the "orack" chops of Moyune bave been settled. They are very fine in water, but some of them are no better than they were lust season in make. Prices vary from some tacl price to about three farls decliɛe, and | as usual most of them have gone to fulfil special orders. In Moyunes from TÍ-. 25 at Tls. 30, the improvement in quality this year has been fully appeciated on this side, but it is donbtful if the
receivers will take the same views as buyers have done. Comparatively little has been settled un- der Tls. 26. In Tienkais the better chops have been bought at Tis. 264 at Tls. 281, but the bulk | of the business has been in the nighbourhood of 118. 22. Fychows, Local packs and any district Teas under Tls. 22 have been in request and Serarely remain on the market over twenty-four hours. Nothing new is reported about probable supplies. Hysons." be space available in the Voroney for Batonm is not nearly equal to the #equirements of shippers, and a considerable quanity has been shut out. It is almost impos- sible to give a report on prices, as the astonshing irregularity in buying upsets any statement. From being firm holders the Teamen became aazions sellers as soon as demand appeared satisfied, and some parcels of finest and choice Teas were almost given away at Ils. 5 at 8 under previous settlements. The market has steadied since. The Export figures to the U. S. and Canada via Pacific Routes are 2,505,932 lbs. out of a total of 4,617,611 lbs., against 1,344,798 lbs, out of a total of 2,204,104 lbs. to same date last year.
