CTC LEAF: 27,686 packages of tea on offer which met with strong but selective demand.

BROKENS: All good Brokens met with a good demand and were mostly firm. The smaller types with brighter liquors were occasionally dearer. These could be quoted between Tk.198/- and Tk.208/-. Mediums were easier following quality whilst poor fibrous types were again neglected with heavy withdrawals.

FANNINGS: A few good liquoring Fannings on offer were strongly competed for and advanced on a broad front by Tk.10/- and more. A few select lines sold between Tk.210/- and Tk.225/-. Mediums were about steady. Plain teas again were difficult of sale with end of season teas remaining unsold.

CTC DUST: 4,544 packages of tea on offer met with a strong demand. A few better liquoring varieties were strongly competed for and were dearer by upto Tk.10/- and more. Others sold around last levels. Plainest varieties were a lower market with some withdrawals. Blenders lent strong support with more interest from the Loose tea buyers.

COMMENTS: Buyers were strongly competing for the few bright liquoring teas on offer which appreciated by a fair margin but other types especially the poor plain varieties were severely discounted with a heavy weight remaining unsold. Blenders were more active with fair interest from the Loose tea buyers.

Good liquoring Dusts were a strong feature of the sale.
