CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
TUE accounts lately received from Macao, brought
intelli-
gence of the English having been totally expelled from
1.)-uina. and that hostilities had actually co )(fenced between
44er Majesty's forces, directed by her uperintendent in
iit,rson, and Chinese men of warother words, China is
war with England. And the questions upon which the
Z° countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust-
b able , a ent s to render it almo impossible, and ceinly imro-
that any more teasst can be obtained from China fopr a
i,!rY considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of
teat article has taken place. Since June last, common black
le./48 have risen Is. 9d., and tine green, 3s. per lb. Fine
es", with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per
; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo-
"tent, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
tiop
V' without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
I).'(‘wever, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who
taithat they could purchase them cheaper retail than
1.J)1 could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to
1) 'Se the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased
vi.Y tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How-
-1 lIA'S will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. per lb.,
thing 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when
lie Commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb.
ph,.°N"WA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the
la 'rot, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea,
e4Otehing, wholesale, 9s. 7(1. per lb. Half and quarter
cs in like proportions.
lit amain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
le of the trade opening with that country, for, at the
tert,, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable
th,,2,) Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
pi, is little doubt but tea will advance daily.
/1/I,,ue„se Teas consist of Captain Pidding's 110WQUA,'S
.4:1.1./RE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S
MALL LEAF GUNPOWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages.
