CTC LEAF: 32,216 packages of teas on offer met with a fairly good demand at generally easier rates.

BROKENS: Good liquoring Brokens met with a strong demand and were generally firm to occasionally dearer and the rates ranged between Tk.195/- and Tk.198/-. Other varieties met with a selective demand and were mostly easier with fair withdrawals particularly the plain and end of season varieties.

FANNINGS: Good Fannings were a fairly strong market but prices were slightly easier and these could be quoted between Tk.194/- and Tk.197/-. Mediums were easier following quality whilst plain and end of season varieties shed in value with considerable withdrawals.

CTC DUST: 4,703 packages of teas on offer once again met with a strong demand. Good liquoring varieties were firm to slightly dearer following competition. Others sold at around last levels with the plainer varieties easing slightly with some withdrawals. Blenders lent strong support with fair interest from the Loose tea buyers.

COMMENTS: There was much less competition in the room except for the best where prices maintained its value. For all others, rates eased especially for the poorer and end of season varieties. Blenders were again the mainstay of the market with some interest from the Loose Tea buyers.

Good liquoring Dusts were a strong feature of the sale.
