CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.
- Green Teas.—The Pinguey market was opened | Tsatieo on the 10th instant, on about the same range of prices as were refused some two months since, The delay has profited the Teamen nothing, and they must be as 'disappointed at the smallness of the demand as much as by their failing to enhance values. The market closes with rather more doing; prices are nominally unchanged, but are in favour of buyers.
In Country Teas a fair business has been done at about opening prices in all descriptions. Finest and choice Moyunes have attracted most attention, and chops of these have been taken at full prices almost as soon as they were shown. Medium Moyunes are poor in water, and in Appearance; a considerable decline is necessary in th so descriptions before they can become Batisfactory-property. Tienkais have been dealt in to a greater extent than we thought probable owing to their want of character. Second packs are beginning to arrive, and show a considerable improvement over the first packs in flavour. Fychows have been bought down to Tls, 18 a picul. The market closes quiet with a downward tendency, and in some cases a decline of Tl. 1 to Tl. 2 has been accopted.
Local Packs and Wenchows have found buyers at what appear to be moderate prices.
Hysons. On the morning of the 18th an unexpected demand sprang up, and prices for all descriptions advanced rapi ly; finest and choice may be quoted Tls. 2 to Tls. 3 over last mail's prices, the market being temporarily bare of stocks.
