TO THE PUBLIC.
" ainnu.l Circular

et one class of the
no
so liberally supported by

w
-c principle on which e first sought encouragement was
,ntended to be fundamental, and on the same we now confi_
dently rest. To supply a now -
family, at the lowest possible
eider to be the "ne plus ultra
feeling confident of our abilit•

necessary article in every
advance on first cost, we con-
'' ,ould it be attained ; and,
secure that system of cor-
•ich will have-clothing in any
acre emboldened to make the ex-
Ailment ; the result we now confidently refer to as as a legi-
timate ground for an enlarged and increasing support. We
have been enabled, ad the various ramifications of our busi-
ness, to secure already by far the largest connexion in this
county, and, we may say, any where out of the Metropolis.
TEA, our principal article, will be now more than ever
" the favourite beverage in this country." A reduced duty,
we have reason to predict, will add to the adv.antages to be
derived from an " open trade ;'' and our advices from the
other side convince us that more pains will be taken in the
selection in proportion to the encouragement given to con-
selection
here. We are guided by this information regularly
transmitted to us by each overland mail from India, and we,
therefore, regulate our imports and purchases just so as to
anticipate future results. Unlimited resources, added to long
experience in the selection of qualities, aid us in securing
only such parcels as cannot be superseded in advantage by
sub-Sequent arrivals. Our only object is to secure as much
advantage and credit to ourselves as service
ers alone can comand.
Already the effect of opening new ports in China has o,
ated dam the confidence of those who have been conser-
2torsto of Stock, and the Merchants have given way in prices.
re we this Circular, we have been ourselves to London
issue
and other porta, and find the records of the past sales merely
nominal, our purchases having been made from 2d. to 3d. per
1 . lower than then established and having anticipated this,
the benefit is now given to our friends, and superior Congou
Tea (Souchong flavour) is now to be had at 4s. per lb. This
only known by profession—what others
we can now do. The finer grades of Tea have
to the now irresistible advance of " Free Trade"
411 more. We have now reached the climax, when more
nan 100 per cent. reduction on the old East India Compa-
ny's terms may be proved—say the 14s. and 12s. Green Teas
and 6s. per lb.—the 10s. down to ss.—and Ss. down
Th. -each quality supported, not imitated.
