THE ESTABLISHED TEA MARKET, upon
Ludgate-hill, No. 8 ; SIDNEY and HALL .Proprletors.—A
further FALL of TWOPENCE to FOURPENCE per Pound upon
TEAS and COFFE S.

We have this day lowered Coffees 2d. to 4d. per lb., in consequence
of the reduced duties upon Foreign Coffees coining into operation. In
the sale of the finest qualities of Coffees, we have long stood pre-emi-
nent as the largest purchasers in the port of London. We are now
enalded to quote the very choicest quality at a price attainable by all
classes of society.

The nobility,'familles, and large consumers of Tens and Coffees,
are invited to compare the quality and prices of all goods sold at this
Establishment with those of any other house in the metropolis. The
best selected qualities have invariably distinguished Sidney and Hall,
and their present ez.ensive sale enables them to sell at prices which
can only be equalled by the largest wholesale houses.
As merchants and importers of Teas direct from China, and the
proprietors of several extensive businesses in London and the largest
provincial towns, Sidney and Hall flatter themselves that they pos-
sess facilities for sally cheap selling, which few can lay claim to,
and enable them to state most confidently that their establishment
shall maintain its character, as being one of the first and cheapest in
London.

The importation of Tea is, this season, of unusually good quality;
the quantity is also considerably larger than for many previous years,
and the anticipation of still larger shipments has had the effect of
lowering prices almost to a level with the lowest period in the history
of the tea market. Sidney and Hall have therefore much satisfaction
in announcing a revised scale of prices, and, confident of superior
value, they invite comparison, as tko most :convincing proof of
cheapness and confidence.
