- Title:
- Diary and consultations of the Council in China
- Scope & Content:
- Having received and returned the visitts of the several merchants usually traded with at Canton, we think it will not be improper to say something of their characters. Suqua for many years past hath been reputed the most considerable merchant in Canton and can dispatch any number of ships in good time, for he is in great circumstances, and generally allowed to be an able and skillfull merchant, but he will always endeavour to make a hard bargain. Tinqua is next in rank though at present in very low circumstances. Some, indeed, suspect him to be greatly in debt, and we fear it is true. He hath ever been ambitious of appearing a great merchant though we now doubt whether he will ever make any figure in trade. Ton Hunqua and Coiqua have made large contracts for two years past and there is no reason to doubt either of their abilities or performances. The merchants abovementioned are those only who have any tolerable credit at present in Canton. It is indeed a very great misfortune that there is not many more in good circumstances, reputation and credit.
