BUSINESS NOTICES. XRDTH WILL PBBYAEU *~ "VT"O one will question the_ accuracy o{ ttie Cuetotnß returns. A paper laid before Parliament this week furntahes a taMe of the consumption of articles in common U3e, which is startling until tbe aurroundine circumstances are considered, and the reason ontv strikes one like the flash ot an electric searchlight. rhe consumption of Supar and Tea for the two past years, and the duty paid per head of population, ustated thus:— Lbs Duty Total lbs vised, per head. per head. Sugar, 1895, 65,563,960 88.5 3s 81d Sugar, 1896, 67,395,840 89.4 3s BJd Increase .. 1>826.831 - ) .9 Oid Tea, 1895, 4,472,528 601 2s 6Jd Te», 1896, 4,451,430 5.88 Iβ Hid Decrease .. 41.048 .16 7*d It secn>4 incredible that while the people used more> sircar they should Consunie I.cas Tea. The explanation is that tlsc Ohina. and Indian Teas are rapidly yoinir out of consumption, and the British product, •frown in Ceylon, is very proj>erly taking , their place. Forem.ist amon->- Ceylon Teas stand* the UNTUVAI.I.KO SURATUU\, and althou-h there have lieen doubts ca«t upon the claims that have heen nwde for its Stronjrtli and Wonderful Koonoinv, the ofticial testiinouv that 41,048 fewer pounds of Tea have proved sufficient for an increase of population of 13.5 V? in the 1896 period is too convincing to admit of furthev cjuestion. SURATURA TKA is not blended with Indian or China teas,, nor U it handled from the time it leaves the Rtores iv Ceylon until it reachee the consumer. Reflect and consider what you arc losing annually by usiny: orriiuary tea. Ask your grocer for. and insist upon having, SURATURA, and no other. Pure and Wholesome TOMATO THE RICHEST IN OBEAM.
