J. Cosgrave 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 iuas twelve months ago ; it is like all goldfield cities, suffering under a recovery, the working classes are more numerous and money less plentiful. Therefore, the ]->ricet> of drapery and clothing must come down to suit the, times. The population must have clothing suitable for an almost tropical summer. J. Cosgrave and Co. have -met the criils, they have broken down the monopoly of large profits that have reigned here for years past. They are determined the people shall be dad and that cheaply ; a great chance ■was offered lately, the stoch of a large importer of drapery was in the market, a discount off English cost was given, and J. Cosgrave and Co. became the purchasers, hence our extensive and valuable sale of drapery takes place This Day. — [Advt.~]
