FANNINGS: Well made, good liquoring Fannings were 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.

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.
