8d to is 3d; of the former supply is yet small. There is
still a reluctance to operate in common Canton green,
and merchants are desirous to sell at previous moderate
rates, supply being ample. All true and fine qualities
have been in good request, former prices being well kept
up, and supply at present is moderate. In Caper sales aro
still small, in boxes at 9d to I Id, and Scented lid to is
33. Prices for Scented Orange Pekoe are unvaried, hut in

Inneoca—To-day the sales have passed off without
animation, and although the proprietors have given a

freely, former quotations leave been barely supported,
