CDs however, were again an easier market with some
withdrawals. Blenders lent fairly strong support with
fair interest from the Loose tea buyers.
COMMENTS: Blenders operated in greater strength
for bright liquoring types. As a result, prices for these
moved up in Sellers’ favour. Loose Tea buyers lent a
fair support. It was noticeable that plain varieties were
discriminated against and recorded a decline in price
with fair withdrawals.
Once again good liquoring Dusts were a strong feature
of the sale.
