TEA ESTABLISHMENTS
No. 8, DALE-STREET, and No. 2, BOLD-STREET, EIVERPOOL.
HOLLIS, WALFORD AND Co. PROPRIETORS.
IN addition to the ordinary design of a Circular, namely, to give information as to the prices
the Trade, the satisfactory duty now devolves upon the Proprietors of announcing the exte
ments for supplying the Public with Tea, by adding a BRANCH ESTABLISHMENT at 0-
tral Commercial Depot of the Port of Liverpool, situated at the TOP OF DALE-ST '
Moss and Company's Banking House, and nearly opposite the Exchange,) which wil
the 26th August, 1813, in addition to their original Premises, at No. 2, BOLD-STREE
They have been impelled to this, not merely by the srbspect of thereby increasing I.ir business, but in deference
to the wishes and convenience of a large number of t. - principal and leading Mere. • e Houses, who have all along
supported their first undertaking, though the loca y mentioned has been hitherto at a comparatively inconvenient
distance from the general centre of their busine .. They cannot but consider this as one of the proudest features of
their general success, as MERCHANTS Tli ' _ISELVES, AND OTHERS devoted to commercial pursuits, are
naturally the best qualified to judge of the • Pits of establishments which aspire to EXTENSIVE PUBLIC PA-
TRONAGE, and they now seek to enlarge is connexion, which is at once their test and testimony b} adding con-
venience of situation to their other preten ;ens:
With regard to the general position of • e Tea Trade, the principal features of SUPPLY AND DEMAND, have
latterly required more than ordinary watching, the prospect of abundance being sometimes more than counterbalanced
by the possibility of scanty shipments. Advices which have now been received of the particulars of every cargo "in
transitu," and in course of loading at Canton, (the only Chinese port as yet open,) these assure us of ample quan-
tity, (though to arrive late,) exhibiting, however, a great falling off in the more acceptable qualities of Green,—say
Young Hysons, Imperial, and Gunpowders :—to obtain earliest information of these particulars, and at the same
time to be prepared to meet the emergency should extensive purchases be required, are the fundamental requisites of
substantially LEADING ESTABLISHMENTS, and to this capacity we lay SOLID CLAIM.
I 'Gunpowder Teas have advanced at least Gd. per lb. within the last three months; fine Ouchain or Young Hysons,
and Pekoes, about 3d. per lb. ; but should even this advance be doubled, which is not improbable, the present bonded
stock belonging to this firm will enable them to supply, even an enlarged connection, on the same terms as in the
most favourable part of the year's engagements. The finer descriptions of Black Tea also, combining all that can b e
required for strength and flavour, will be shorter and shorter in each succeeding cargo to arrive through the remain-
der of the season, and against this contingenc3 ample provision has been promptly made.
It may be well to observe, that the finest descriptions of Green Teas, and THE CHOICEST SCENTED
ORANGE PEKOE have advanced in value on the market, yet some of our pretending competitors have presumed,
in the face of this fact, to announce a Reduction of sixpence per pound on these identical qualities. Of course these
absurd advertisements find their own level, and the parties by whom they are issued are lowered in proportion in the
estimation of those who have proved the falsity of their exaggerated statements. The principle which governs such
systems of business we do not pretend to fathom ; they can only be understood by the parties themselves. The
finest scented Orange Pekoe cannot be bought under 58. 2d. per pound : those who state otherwise know nothing of
markets beyond the published records of London public sales. We do not accuse these worthies of wilful misrepre-
sentation, as not one house in fifty ever see the choicest specimens, which are bought up by our agents immediately
on arrival. In corroboration of this we shall be happy to show specimens, which we consider perfectly matchless.
We respectfully solicit favourable attention from the inhabitants of Cheshire and the. North End of Liverpool in
favour of our new Establishment, and with CONFIDENCE and satisfaction refer you to our past assertions and
performances, as a guarantee for our future course. As annexed we call particular attention to our List of Prices,
which are as follow :
