CTC LEAF:  44,759 packages of tea met a restricted demand.

BROKENS/FANNINGS: A handful of clean liquoring teas on offer met with a fairly good demand and sold at around last levels. All other varieties witnessed much less demand and were subjected to heavy withdrawals. BLF teas were again difficult of sale and withdrawals were heavier.

DUST: 2,965 packages of tea on offer met with a fair demand. A select few clean liquoring Dusts sold well at slightly easier rates. Remainder, mostly reprinted saw only limited demand with heavy withdrawals. Blenders lent fair support with improved interest from the loose tea buyers.

COMMENTS: This week’s sale witnessed a much weaker demand with only a few buyers operating in the sale.  A few clean lines sold quite well but the remainder were withdrawn without any bids. The only interest in this sale emanated from a few Blenders.

Dusts sold well.
