Tbe out going trains were detained for i a Ume, but the Ingenuity of the oooduc- .

Plenty of readymadc dresses i of such sorts as arc most in demand now, viz., substantial and not costly. « Also plenty of white muslin dresses below value ; and a fair vari'-ty of the more costly ' stuff dresses. There is no danger of overstating the advantage in buying black grenadines now. There ' is a clear dollar a yard to be 1 gained in most of the rich ones. Dress-goods trade with us , is now very largely upon goods below value. Checks, dieckstripes, melanges, debcige, and others, are at half -and twotl.irds. Not'all we have: we , don't mean that ; some of all these and other sorts. And low prices are no reflection on tlie goods. Whatever we buy ; low we sell low. Of course we i lose money on goods somc- [ times. We are not talking about that now. Cream cashmere shawls of $5 quality, with here and there a dagk thread just visible "a yarooff, $3.50. India chuddas that cost five or ten times as much have such little imperfections. Imitation chuddas arc made with them purposely. ■ But, as they don't belong to 1 cashmeres, we sell as above. It is wonderful how dress1 goods have dropped here. 1 Fine-wool and silk-and-wool things at two-thirds; some even at half; the best things in tlie

store at that. Literally true! J What in all dress goods is bet3 ter titan a fine debeige ? We J have one at 50 cents that is well worth a dollar. What has proved better this season than small-chcck effects? Why, r wc have thirty' sorts at twothirds and below. What better than a fine melange? Two-, thirds ; and fifty to choose from. There is no exhausting them. S".o'.ch ginghams of fine-cliv-ek patterns, so fine as to l'K)'-: like plain colors, and even plain colors are in great favor. ; 25 and 30 cents.
