J. Gbsgrape and Co. beg to inform the public that there is an entire revolution in dress, also in the prices of goods. It is necessary it should be so, as Auckland is not in the flourishing position it ions twelve months ago ; it is like all goldjield cities, suffering under a recovery, the working classes are more mtmerous and money less plentiful. Therefore, the prices of drapery and clothing must come down to suit the times. The population must have clothing suitable Jor an almost tropical summer. J. Gosgrave and Co. have met the crisis, they have broken dotvn the monopoly of large profits that h%ve reigned here for years past. • They are determined the people shall be clad and that cheaply ; a great chance was offered lately, the stock of a large importer of drapery was in the market, a discount off English cost was given, and J. Cosgravc, and Co. became the purchasers, hence our extensive and valuable salt of drapery takes" place This Day.—[Advt.']
