There are qualities of Tea imported this season much
_finer than for several years rast—although the
.first
cost is higher, we shall not alter our list of quotations
to Families till further notice.

The descriptions which we most recommend are—the
fine Conflate SOUCHONG Kr 35.6 d. and 38. Bd.—First
class Congoit, 48—EXTRA FINS 4s. 4d.—and can now
offer a curiously fine Souchong at 4s. Bd. per lb.
It is gratifying to us to observe—our hitherto exten-•
sive Business gradually increasing—which is decidedly
the result of a careful selection of qualities—and
charging a small profit upon tharfirst cost of importation,
(which Families are fully utitled to.)
During thirteen ye this system has secured for us
the cordial suppo f the inhabitants of Liverpool ge-
nerally, and b s own merits—our Establishment has
become the camel of supply to many thousands of
Families throughout the kingdom.
As we confine our attention to the Sale of Tea and
Coffee—we are enabled to place these Two very impor-
tant Articles of Domestic use before the Consumer on
such principles that their interests must be promoted as
well as our own.
Families residing in the Country are most respect-
fully informed 'that oar Terms are strictly,—NET
