Stock,-15,046 half-chests, against 11,708 half- chests at same date last year.
Green Tea.-Pingsuey.-The transactions in these descriptions show no change on last mail's rates. Local Packs.-The few sales reported be- long to the previous fortnight's settlements. The extremely low prices reling for these check the packing of a considerable quantity of cominon leaf, which owners are endeavouring to sell to native shops. Country Tea.-The range of laying down prices now established is probably the lowest on record in the annals of the trade, but the quality of most of the Teas leaves inuch to be desired. There has been no new feature to be noted in the past fortnight's business.
