CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought
intelli-
gence of the English having been totally expelled from
China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between
Her Majesty's forces, directed by her .the
t in
person, and Chinese men of war; in other wordon s, Chin s
at war with England. And the questions up which:
two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust-
ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro-
bable, that auy more teas can be obtained from China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June last, common blackteas have risen Is. 9d., and tine green, 3s. per lb._ Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. id. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as Gs. 7d., whilst up to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who
found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than
they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to
raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased
by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How-
QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of Gs. 9d. per lb.,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb.
HownATA%,. SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the
present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter
catties in like proportions.
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the
least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable
tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
i there s little doubt but tea will advance daily.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF
is GUN POWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PID-
DINO upon every genuine package.
