TEA REPORT.
COLOMBO AND CALCUTTA. At the usual weekly sale of Ceylon tea held at Colombo on the 12th instant, 1.500,000 pounds weight was placed under offer. Quality showed a fulling off, but most grades had more colour. The result of the sale showed that mediums and good kinds were in strong demand, with the market rather dearer, others steady with the exception of commons, which were fractionally weaker. Actual price alterations showed a reduction of %d per lb on commons, a firm market on Price broken Orange Pekoes, an increase of %d per lb on plain 8.0.P.'5, and a firm market on first classic broken Pekoes and fine broken Orange Pekoes. Exchange remained unaltered. Next week's sale is expected to total 2.2.50,0001b. A report on the sale at Calcutta held on the 11th instant showed that the quantity offered amounted to 2,400,000 pounds weight. Quality was unchanged, and the result of the sale showed that commonest were slightly easier, other grades unaltered. Quotations remained the same as the previous week.
