Canton made green Ouloeng, tea is coming into the market, but the prices asked chook purchases. *The musters of Twankaye, Young Hyeon, Imperial and Gunpowder are good. but the holders must submit to a deduction before buyers will close with them. There are also some of last years green teas in the market, and as the Americans have closed their purchases for the season, they will probably be sacured for the Eng- lish market at reasonable prices.
