very limited by private contract for home consumption,
but prices have been prevented from given way of moment,

acted in common Congou at 2s 6d to 2s 6id, and Twan-

to-day there was a good deal of business doing in all
kinds of Free Trade Tea for cash, the purchases were
principally to supply the wants of the trade, common
Congou is fetching 2s Si to 2s sid, and Tivankay 2s 6id
to 2s 7d per lb, and at these rates some parties
will not sell. For prompts business of moment
was prevented in consequence of the unwillingness
of the merchants to sell, excepting at prices ouch above
those what the trade are disposed to pay. Company's
Congou is wanted, and a good many parcels have been
disposed of for money at 2s 6}d. For long and short
prompts sales have been made at 2s 7d to 2s per lb.
