HONGKONG ICE COMPANY,

NOTICE.

T5 Beg to intimate that, during the months of July, August and Sep- er, the Price of ICE will be 2h Conta per ib. The smallest quantity sold 4 pounds.

As the demand at present is more than we can meet, and will be heavier during the above months, we have decided upon this advance in price solely with the object of keeping the consumption within the producing power of one present machinery, and so endeavouring to give all consumers a share. As soon as we feel the demand falling off, the price will be reduced again to the usual Cents per pound.

While thanking the Community for the aupport they have hitherto accorded "us, jy20 we trust they will bear with us at this time in our efforts to meet the wants of all, as next year, with the addition of our new Machinery, there will be no lack of sup- plies, and conscquently no necessity for going beyond the charge of 2 Cants per lb.
