BUSINESS NOTICES. TRUTH W_t__ PREVAIL. *jVTO one will question the accuracy ol the Customs A/*« returns. A paper laid before Parliament this week furnishes a table of the consumption of articles in common use, which is startling until the surrounding circumstances are considered, and the reason only strikes one like the flash of an electric searchlight. The consumption of Sugar and Tea for the two past years, and the duty paid per head of population, is stated thus :-a _> ~_ _ k OS Duty c. To _U b Per head. per head. Sugar, 1895, 65,563,960 r 85.5 3. Sid Sugar. 1896, 67,335,840 89.4 3s Bid Increase .. 1,826,880 ~~9 _._ Tea, 1895, 4,472,523 604 2s 63d Tea, 1896, 4,431,480 5.88 Is ll.d Decrease .. 41,048 .16 7__ It seems incredible that while the people used I more siiirnr they should Con-time Less Tea. The explanation is tliat the China and Indian Teas are rapidly going out of consumption, ami the Rritwh product, i grown in Ceylon, is vory properly taking their place. Foremost anions Ceylon Teas stands the UNRIVAU.EI* SURATUIS V, and although there have ' been doubts cast upon the claims that hove been made for its Strength and Wonderful Economy, the official testimony that 41,W8 fewer pounds of Tea have proviHl sutli.iet.t for im increase of population of 13.317 in the ISS6 period is too convincing to admit of further question. SURATURA. TKV i* not blended with Indian or China teas, nor is it handled from the time it leaves the stores in Ceylon until it reaches the consumer. .(effect ami consider what you are losing annually by using ordinary tea.
