AUCTION TIMING

CTC LEAF: 57,231 packages of  tea on offer met with a fairly good demand.

BROKENS: Good liquoring Brokens were a good market particularly the smaller varieties which were about steady. Medium types continued to meet with a good demand  and sold around last in line with quality. Plainer varieties  met with a fair demand but were easier with fair withdrawals. BLF teas were again a very selective market with heavier withdrawals. 

FANNINGS: Good liquoring Fannings met with a good demand and were generally firm. Medium varieties met with a fairly good demand and were a little easier in line with quality. Plainer teas met with less demand with quite fair withdrawals. BLF teas were again a very selective market with heavier withdrawals. 

DUST: 12,012 packages of tea on offer met with an improved demand. Good liquoring Dusts sold well at around last levels.  Mediums sold well around last levels with a few withdrawals. Plain and BLF Dusts were a fair market with some withdrawals. Blenders lent strong support with fair interest from the Loose tea buyers. 

COMMENTS: There was a good demand which mostly emanated from the Blenders who operated in fairly good strength. Loose tea buyers were less active resulting in less competition. Withdrawals were a little higher this week. 

CDs were a strong feature of the sale.
