AUCTION TIMING

CTC LEAF: 45,589 packages of teas on offer continued
to meet with an excellent demand.

again a very strong feature of the sale and were dearer
following competition. All other varieties met with an
improved demand and fetched higher prices. BLF teas met
with a good demand at firm to slightly dearer rates.

again a strong market at dearer rates following competition.
The remainder also met with a strong demand and realised
higher prices. BLF teas met with a good demand at firm to
slightly dearer rates
DUST: 9,177 packages of teas on offer met with quite a
strong demand. Good liquoring Dusts sold well at around
last levels. Their Mediums were also a good market and
sold at slightly easier rates. Plain/BLF Dusts eased
irregularly in line with quality and saw some withdrawals.
Blenders lent strong support with fair interest from the
Loose tea buyers.
COMMENTS: Market opened on a strong note this week at
firm to slightly dearer rates but with the progress of sale
particularly towards the end demand strengthened and
prices appreciated further following competition. Blenders
were more forceful this week with widespread demand from
the Loose tea buyers.
Dusts were a slightly easier market.
