AUCTION TIMING

CTC LEAF: 55,000  packages of Current Season & 534 packages of Old Season Teas on offer  met with a fairly good demand.

BROKENS: Improved invoices met with quite a good demand and generally sold well although a little easier. Mediums were fairly well absorbed and were about steady on last but Plain varieties eased further with a lot of withdrawals. Poorest types continued to be neglected with heavier withdrawals.

FANNINGS: There was good demand for improved liquoring invoices which were about steady to occasionally dearer with competition. Mediums also saw fairly good support but eased a little. Plain types witnessed some demand but eased further. Poorest varieties continued to be difficult of sale with heavy withdrawals.

CTC DUST: 8,505  packages of Current Season Teas on offer met with a fairly good demand. Best liquoring teas were easier by Tk.5/- to Tk.8/-. Good sorts sold well at around last levels. Medium and plainer teas were easier by upto Tk.10/- with fair withdrawals. BLF teas continued to meet with less demand and witnessed heavy withdrawals. Blenders lent strong support with only fair interest from the Loose tea buyers.

COMMENTS: Offerings continued to be large but witnessed more demand and as a result, withdrawals were less than last week. BLF teas were mostly neglected and withdrawn without bids. Blenders were the mainstay of the market with a little more support from the Loose tea buyers.

Dusts sold well.
