Selected clean and better liquoring Assam CTC maintaining quality was around previous levels and tended dearer. Tata Global was active. There was fair support from Hindustan Unilever for the leaf grades and active support for the dusts. Western India dealers were active for the liquoring sorts. There was fair enquiry from North India and local sections. Exporters operated on the bolder brokens and fannings.
