BLACK TZAS.— Congous. Notwithstanding the im-
proved accounts received trom England a few days after
the date of our last report, the market has been compara-
tively quiet and the transactions limited, chiefl)• owic.g to
the unusually small supplies in the market and the great
firmness evinerd by the tea men to bold fur higher rates.
Congests : about 30 chops have been settled at an advance ofl
a teal on common and 1 teal on nll good blackish leaf kinds,
The arrivals have been very small during the month, and
the unsold stnek is consequently reduced to 24,000 pack•
ages, or 40 full clines, whilst at same period last year there
were upwards of 150 chops in the market. Green Teas.—
In the almen.e of supplice, the traneactinns have necessarily
been very trifling, and do not amount to more than 2,000
packag• a, at slightly advanced rates. As the unsold
stock (10,000 packages) consists almost entirely of com-
mon hymen skins and no further arrivals of suitable teas are
expected, the market may be considered closed for the sea-
son. Bilk—During the month there has been but little de-
mand, and the operations have been limited to about 900
bales, principally Taatlera, for which class prices have
been rather easier. Tayaasma have maintained their former
position.
EXCHANGIL—BiIIs on London, 6 months. hs. 31d. to hs.
