Great Race

of the

Tea Ships,

with the first

New Season's Teas.

Price of Teas Reduced.

The "Taeping", "Ariel", "Fiery Cross", and "Serica" have arrived, with others in close pursuit, with something like Forty-Five Million Pounds of New Tea on board — half a year's consumption for the United Kingdom. This enormous weight coming suddenly into the London Docks, Shippers are compelled to submit to Much Lower Prices, in order to make sales.

We are thus enabled to make a Reduction of Fourpence in the pound.

3/8 down to - - 3/4

3/4 down to - - 3/0

And so on downwards.

We may add the above Ships have brought a few lots of most unusual fine quality.
