TEA. Colombo. June HOth. 1014. Strong and active competition characterism the neck's sale, aud, contrary to Pxpecriitlons, the market was generally •somewhat lirmer for all grades, with the exception of fanning* aud dtis-ts. which two and a-half million pounds of tea. and tlie selection pem>raily was a fair one. in s«-»nie cases tea showing iniprovenie-nt in quality.

The dullness reported a ivi-l'li aso ill Ihe pntatn market still continue*, and tn-day prices are a shade easier.

The outlook is uncertain, hut indications in the south point to that market being depressed for al least a mouth or more. The accumulations In stores down there at the present time are fairly heavy, ami these are now eo-iuirtK forward, a.s ihey cannot niueli looger be he.l<J so late in the season. On rhe orher hand, growers are ludteiKised to accept the low prices now riiiini. and once the accuimtrlations in store have workivl off. they should be in a position to exert an influence in seeurluK better pri<-es on the market. It is. therefore, probable that prices will recover to the figures recently ruling. As there is an amnje .supply nf potatoes to carry on with until the nt'.v eroy Is avallahle. ii is reasonable to h~ssnme the rates will rule reasonable to the end of rhe winter, more especially as there is no opening for export to Australia, where thy crop was a good one.

i Seed potatoes are ineetiDg with better demand this week. Alt Bough the weather N uoi (rood for pluming at pres- . still the seuxon is getting on. an.' --iu»rs realise they must secure rheir K<'Pu. ,iauiekeepers. lp-to-Dates, and Northern Stars are must in demand, at from fli lo £li 1(1/ per ton. The seed of these varieties now offering Is nf good quality, having been all carefully selected. K-irly lUvers and Karly Puritans are also meeting ivlih a lirrle Inquiry for early cr.inpiirg. M.»i of the -rowers are mm- In tlie habit ..f buying their seed ahead and shooting them out some lime hefore planting. This has the advantage of allowing the potatoes tn sprout before they are ' pla.-isl in the ground, which has been proved by past experience, tn give better results than ir the seed l< planted before rho »prontf> are formed. Il is ahu n good practice t<. lime the seed .well before they sprout, as It tend* t<i kill fungoid and other parasites that attack the plants. rirsulr* 'have demon-s-farted that the trouble entailed in liming llie seed is amply repaid.
